der the rule of parties, an elector is
nothing more than a messenger en-
trusted to carry out instructions. In
the history of the Republic, no elector
has failed to be true to his instruc-
tons. Law abiding as the people are,
il is doubtful if any men would dare
contrary to his promises.
There are Democrats and Populists
whose partisan zeal makes them adj
verse to joint electoral ticket, and II
they permit their partisan pride to
have greater weight than their pa
triotic duty, they may he able TO give
North Carolina to Mckinley. 1t is true
that they would thereby he iniuring
their party and helping to maintain
the gold standard, but partisan bigot-
nv is often so blind that it destroys
partisan advantage. We are persuad-
ed that upon mature reflection the
silver men of all parties will see that
to run two electoral tickets, instead
of helping silver or either party,
would be playing into Mark Hanna's
hands, and that they will not be guilty
of such folly.
If the people voted direct for Presi-
dent and Vice-president, division
of the two parties favOring silver
would then be unwise because, wnile
it would give the electoral vote to Bry-
an by an immense majority, it might
make 1t possible for Hobart to carry
the State. BIT voting for one set OF
electors as we do, the only way 10 in
sure the electoral vote to Bryan, in
spite of Hank Hanna's $780, 900 he has
set aside to spend in North Carolina,
is for all silver men to vote one eleetor-
al ticket. This ought to be easy be-
cause the Democrats and Popuiists
have nominated the same man for
President. There is no need OF any
arrangement for Mr.. Bryan. The
Populists did not endorse MIR. Bryan.
They nominated him, and he is their
candidate as much as Mr.. Guthrie is
their candidate for Governor. The
only difference is as to Vice-President,
and six votes for Sewall and five for
Watson would be flair and equitable"
Unless the silver forces agree upon
the Joint electoral ticket the silver
men who prevent this will be response
BILE for the maintenance of a gold
standard If Mckinley should carry
North Carolina.
We believe that if the Populist com
proposition and run straight electQr-
al ticket, the Democratic electoral tick
ct would win. But the abundant use
of money by Hanna might carry the
State for Mckinley. 1t would be pos
sible for the Mckinley electors to
carry North Carolina for Mckinley by
this vote:
Mckinley and Hobart ....... 10000
Bryan and Sewall ............1 1876, 900
Bryan and Watson .......... 10000
With a clear majority of fifty nine
thousand for Bryan, he might lose
the State. His loss of the State would
involve its loss also to Sewall and
to Watson. How would the Populist
or Democratic party be helped by this
arrangement? The only beneficiaries
of division among silver men would
be the supporters of the single gold
standard.

COME. LET Us REASON TOGETHER

The advocates of the gold standard
assert that the silver men impugn their
motives, denounce them as unpatriotic,
and have injected bitterness and pref
udice into the campaign. We need not
deny that much of bitterness and pref
udice are apparent in this campaign,
whereas in the discussion of purely
economic question there ought TO be
an absence of feeling.
There is no donbt that harsh and
unins. things have been said on both
sides, hut we submit that the silver
men are not the aggressors. They
named candidates of high standing,
unsullied lives, and unquestioned pa
triotism, and before the convention
adjourned the gold men cried out that
the Anarchists had found a Jack Cade
in the person of Mr.. Bryan, and that
the Chicago platform was a soeialistic
communist;c, agragrian proclamation,
framed TO suit those who believe that
the rich ought 10 be robbed; and all
property divided out equally. From
that day TO this there has been little
let mp ON this plan of campaign, and
the cupidity of all men of wealth has
been appealed to to crush out the frey
olutionists.'' Railroads have sought
to drive all employees into voting
against Bryan, on the ground that his
election would throw the roads into
bankruptcy and cause them to lose
their situations, or to get less wages
Ia almost every conceivable way, "the
holders of idle wealth have been in
yited to employ every method TO buy
or drive the wage earneTs into voting
for the gold standard. The legitimate
effect of the incendiary talk and the
policy of coercion was the burning of
Bryan in etIgy this week at two
points, wide apart geographically.
Commenting on these events, Senator
Jones said
4They have called us incendiaries
and anarchists, but it seems that
they are the incendiaries of this
campaign. The people will learn OF
the outgages and rebuRe them on
election day, that's certain"
At the recent indianapolis conven-
ton, the reports in all the papers agree
that the most characteristic thing
about the gathering was the bitterness
of the assaults upon Bryan. Mr.. Vest
writes to the Washington Post on
Tuesday:
"They hungered and thirsted
for the sharp arrows of scorn,
vttuperation, and sarcasm, and If
Bryan had been a gladiator in the
arena, they would have turned
their thumbs down with the heart
less alacrity of Roman populace.
In this regard, the speech of Gov
ernor Flower was a perpetual de-
light. They applauded Flower
when he pictured Bryan as radi-
cal of the French Revolutionary
type, as ambitious, unsteady, and
unsafe, as finger of social and
political firebrands among the
people, as an appealer to base
human passions, as a kinder Of the
fires OF social discomfort and dis
order, and as the representative of
a. restless mob, and Ra sn inccn@
