PRESS COMMENTS

In polling the votes on the rail
roads of the nation this peculiar
condition is disclosed, that the men
who travel in the common or day
coaches are almost unanimous for
Bryan, and that similar una
nimity for Mckinley is found in the
Pullman palace cars. Disregard
this as we may, it must be admitted
that it is battle between capital
and labor. The man who rides on
a second-class car is for Bryan,
while the gold-bug in his private
car, surrounded by plenty, is for
Mckinley. We regret to see such
a contest, but inasmuch as it Is
upon us, we want to see the men
who follow the plow and tend the
looms successful. The hope of
this republic is middle
ciassess,,Isrn classes, IS II the men who toll and
develop the country, and as they
are in an overwhelming majority,
it seems as though Bryan and free
silver were travelling the paths Of
success.-Gdzette

order that complete success may
be secured.
Now fow words on local mat
ters and ! am done.
In a recent issue of the GUARDIAN
it was stated that candidates were
slow in declaring themselves. I
was glad of it, and l hope no
citizen of Graham county will do
so. But instead let each precinct
in the county hold its primaries,
make list of all the Offices to be
filled, and name the man Of it's
choice for each Office, then send its
delegates to the county convention
and compare votes, and there
make the ticket by a majority
vote Of the convention, and no
man should be allowed to vote a
proxy except for delegate of his
own precinct. A ticket made in
! this this way will represent the people,
and man selected for office by
such means will feel proud of the
confidence reposed in him, and he
would be traitor to the people If
he failed to magnify the trust i'm
posed upon him. 1 expect to
throw in my mite with the Demo
Gratis of Graham county in the
coming campaign. We did we'll
in the last campaign but we should
do better in the next.

REDUCE TAXATION

There is more momentous
question staring the people of
Graham county in the face than
the silver question We have no
voice whatever in deciding whether
we shall have a gold or silver
stan dard, so far as our votes go in
National affairs. But what is a
little nearer to us is whether the
present rate of taxation shall con-
tinue. 1t is an outrage on the
citizens of this county to ask them
to pay the heavy taxes they are
paying now. The question to be
considered is, What is the cause
Of it? 1t may be pretty hard
question for stranger to answer.
But those who have been here for
years and have been paying these
high taxes, are in position to
know the cause. There is nothing
whatever to show for the thousands
of dollars that have been expended
in the past. Except a few can
celed vouchers and a bridge which
would not be tolerated anywhere
else with due credit TO the one
who constructed it, as we believe
he did the best he could under the
circumstances.
If the thousands of dollars spent
yearly are not spent on improve
ments, where do they go? If the
county officials squander it they
should be brought to task. If
they spend it recklessly, they
should be compelled to stop it.
Surely they must be an expensive
set of officials if they can spend
thousands of dollars yearly and
not give the people anything in
return. This question of high
taxes and expenditure of county
funds should be considered we'll by
the voters, and then the remedy
should be sought. Our remedy is
to vote for those persons only,
whom we know have the good of
the people at heart. Let this
campaign be for lower taxes and
more careful expenditure of coun-
ty funds.

THE people of Stafford Graham
county seem to have concluded to
remove the county seat from
Solomonville to that place, and
have raised sufficient funds to erect
handsome court house without
expense TO- the COUNTY. If the
citizens Of the county viii endorse
the oremo7aI which it seems to be
lceaesded, they will, as Stafford has

views or one Who Has Given the Subject
Considerable Thought.
EDITOR GUARDIAN:-I have
watched with a great amount of
interest, the measures adopted by
the several political parties who
are striving for the ascendency.
And when the Republican con-
vention at st. Louis completed It's
work, | was extremely gratifed
with the result; not that l endors-
ed the platform or the ticket, but
/ saw that they were digging
pit for the party to fall into, and
thereby make possible a victory
for the oppressed people of the
nation, and the breaking down of
the money power, which was sap
ping the foundation of our glori-
Gus republic. 1t is said in the
good old book that "when the
wicked rule the people mourn"
and it might, with equal propriety
be said, that, when money rules
the people mourn. And again, in
order to accommodate myself to
circumstances, as they developed,
| was made thrice happy over the
action of the Chicago convention
because saw that the battle was
on, and would be fought to a finish.
Every man is expected to do his
duty. Victory is the reward of
eternal vigilence. Although l was
pleased with the work of the Re-
publican and Democratic conven-
tions, I cannot say the same of
the Populist.
Men whose interests are identi-
cal should lay aside selfishness and
work together for the general
good. The action of the Populist
convention has complicated mat
ters seriously, and no one can tell
now what the consequences may
be. The reconciliation of silver
on the old standard is the para
mount issue, and should not be
lost sight of. The Populists
made two serious blunders: 1st,
by nominating Bryan, which will
place two sets of electors in the
field; they should have endorsed
him instead if he was their choice.
End, by nominating Watson for
.vice-president. The Democratic
convention had done it's work and
adjourned sine die, and there is no
way possible for the party to
change its policy. The conven-
ton didnot authorize the Nation
al committee to act for the party
and retire a nomination that the
convention had made and to ex-
pect Mr.. Sewall to decline to graft
fly the whims of third party is,
to say the least, presumptions.
If the Democrats who left the
party and went over to the Popu-
lists had remained with the party |
as others have done, and fought |
within the lines for the needed re-
forms, with the great changes that
have been wrought in the Demo
cratic ranks and with the support
of the silver Republicans that is
assured, the silver cause would
roll up a majority next November
that would astonish the world.
With all due respect for my
Populist friends, I must repeat
what l have often said: 81 see no
place for third party" Demo
cracy well followed will work all
the reforms necessary for the
people. Even if the sill
yer interests are successful in the
presidential election, the people
must look we'll to the election of
members of congress, that will
work with the administration in |

Democrats must stand by their
nominees, must fight the battle for
the people, regardless ofthe peculiar
action of those who begged to be
allowed to become allies and then
sought to dictate terms, and must
strive to carry into effect the
protest of the people voiced at
Chicago. Democrats do not want
Mr.. Watson and will not have him
on their tickets. Nashville Tenn.

THE ovation rendered Mr.. Bryan
along the route to New York
must be pleasing to the gold bugs.
They will soon come the conclus-
ion that the Democratic nominee
holds warm place in the hearts

rendered Mr.. Mckinley.

WATsON'S SIDE SHOW.

When the Populist convention
kicked out of the traces at the
mention Of SewalPs name for Vice.
President, great boost was given
to Mr.. Bryan. Now he will stand
as an out-and-out Democrat, and
not as the nominee of the Popu
lists. When they refused to accept
the entire ticket and kicked off the
name of the Vice. Presidential candi
date, Bryan, by his manly stand
cut loose from all connection with
the desperate and impracticable radi
calls. AS for the Populists them
selves, the Bryan ticket will get
the votes Of nearly every man in
the Western states. The violent
Populists of the III viii not be
lInHeeeeded zee to carry the Southern
States, and they may kick and
plunge and rave as much as they
please.-N. o. La. Picayune.
Graham guardian., 1896-08-21

The middle of-the-road Popu-
lists have played into the
hands of the Mckinley syndicate.
But Mr.. Bryanis not defeated. His
manly conduct in refusing to throw
his running mate will commend
him to the people. He has shown
himself to be man of honor. He
is in very truth another Lincoln.-

The Populists of the West and
Northwest will make common
cause with the Democrats and
make certain the election of Bryan
and Sewall. In refusing to sup
port the Dem ocratic candidates for
President and Vice-President,
Southern Populists are neither
wise nor patriotic. 1t is out of the
question for the Democrats of
Georgia to consider any division
of the electoral ticket with the
Populists. If the Populists can
not support Democratic electors,
let them run their own ticket

The proposition made by Pop
ulists to Democrats, to pull down
or knife Sewall and take up Watson
for the Vice-Presidency is one OF
the most absurd propositions which
have emanated from the Populist
convention. How ridiculous for
the small party to ask a greater
