PREACHING REPUBLICAN DOC
TRINE.

The Charlotte Observer labors under
the haIlucination that it has been cor
railing the Democratic forces and keep
ing them together like a Texas ranch
man manages his cattle, by 'hollering"
and cursing himself and setting on a
parcel of spaniels to bark at the heels
of every one who resists being housed
in the gold bull-pen. Before it can take
off its arunor and boast SO eomplacently
of invaluable services, it ought to sum
up the result of it's labors, as seen BY
others, and look the truth in the face.
The arrogance, the abuse and intol-
erance of that paper from 1892 to 1894
gave to the populists more recruits
from the Democratic ranks in CaIbarrus
Catawba, Cleveland, Iredell, Alexander
and CASTOR strong Democratic coun-
ties in which it's circulation was largest
than the combined efforts of all the
populist papers and propagandists.
The inexplicable flop of it and It's
hackers from the side of silver to that
of gold is now doing more to under
mine the confidence of the masses of
its own party in the sincerity and
integrity of its leaders than all the
other forces now operating to effect
disintegration.
4 satisfactory explanation OF this
political phenomena by the editor of
the Observer or his friend, Mr.. Hender-
son, would do more to restore conf
denee in the integrity of the party
than adj the choice epithets he may be-
stow upon others.
When did Mr.. Caldwell come to con-
slider the characterization of silver a
great crime? Whsn< did be discover. as
he said not gfedt, while ago, that
Sherman acted fairly and honestly IN
1873? If all our leaders had lived up to
their teachings prior to 1892 we would
have seen far less detection among
Democrats in the last election.
But we do not stop there. We boldly
assert that the direct tendency of the
Observer is to send its gold standard
friends into the Republican party.
Every now and then we hear OF follow
ers of our neighbor who openly ayow
their purpose to vote for the Republi-
can nominee if a free coinage Democrat
isnominated at Chicago. The Observer
admits that there is strong probability
that the silver Democrats will carry
the National convention, and a certain
ty that the silver men win write the
platform Of the State convention, and
yet, strange to say, fills its columns with
arguments to be used by the enemies
Of the party should its own predictions
be verified.
If Mr.. Holbon, chairman of the Re-
publican State executive COM
mittee desired to direct the
policy of the Charlotte Observer
in the interest of the Republican party
he would not care to cross a 1t" or dot
an q, /" by way of changing its present
policy, or would he, according to re-
cent utterance, change a single sen
tence in the Topping letter of his latt
antagonist, ex-Congressman John s
Henderson. AS long as it continues iI'
present course, the Republicans neet
no daily organ in the State. The oh
server is making more votes for then
than a straight Republican paper coul.
make.

Mr., =, W. Car1nack is one Of the most
brilliant editors in the South. He IS
an earnest and able advocate of silver,
and when he was instructed by its
owners to advocate the denomination
of Josiah Patterson, who topped from
silver to gold, Mr.. Carmack resigned
his position on the Memphis paper.
There are some brains that gold cannot
buy.

one thousand farmers who came here poor
as the proverbial turkey of Job, and whoto-
day count their worldly possessions by
thousands Many of them started in with
q house built of sod, and almost empty
handed so far as horses and cattle 20. To-
day they occupy fine dwelling houses, have
large barns, fine horses, cattle, hogs and
sheep, granaries filled with grain, fruit
orchards, and money in hand. We mention
this to show that South Dakota farmers are
the prosperous class. Prosperity is the
rule-not the exception. With fair prices
for grain and live stock they would be roll
Ing in wealth. Prices, however, have moth
ing to do with the fertility of the soil and
the favorable character of the climate
These natural advantages are here to stay
