Not only does he count his friends by
the cscore in our city. but they are scat
tered from one end of the State to the
the other He is a strong man, and will
have a strong following; and that is the
kind of man to put up.
For Il number of years Mr.. Andrews
has been n citizen Of Raleigh and has
for some time been at the head of one of
the most sprightly Afternoon paers of the
State, the policy of which he has direct
ed to the advancement of all the interests
of our city, pursuing course at all times
progressive and judiciOus in the city'S
affairs. He IS a Democrat without ques-
ton, and his course at the head of a
Democratic paper has shown him to be
a friend to the great class so often termed
the working men and themechanics. This
class Of our citizens will do honor to
neutrality-suspicious. by noble heart
when they cast their suffra ges at the
ballot box for Greek o. Andrews for
mayor of our beautiful, progressive cap
ital city.
With these few remarks, Mr.. Editor,
| beg to place the name of Mr.. Andrews
before our people for the highandhonora-
BILE position Of its chief magistrate.

as a member of the Board of Commits

the Governor to succeed him, for term

Previous to his appointment on the

could not be confirmed by tn Senate.

To the Editor: Your favor of recent
date is at hand. In my opinion the in
reference with State Rights by Judge
Simonton is an outrage upon the intelli-
gent citizenship of North Carolina. 1t
is shameful to conceive of such a propo
sition, but to realize the actual occur
renee is simply fearful, when the liberties
of the people are considered. 1 think the
interests of the common people far pref
cradle to those Of any corporation. The
fact that Federal judge has so far for
gotten the interest of the harvest toilers
of this country as to attempt to deprive
them of their harvest earnings is I'M
questionable evidence of his faithless-
ness and insincerity.
We should stand squarely upon the
National Democratic platform, which
protests, in emphatic terms, against gov
eminent by injunction. No such usur-
patton of power should be tolerated, and
if the people would rise in their might

NOW FOR THE ARMY POST.

Col. HarreI Has Drawn Bill and Sent
1t to Senator Pritchard.
There has been a great deal of talk
of the establishment of an Army Post
near Raleigh-more talk than anything
else. unless it be the appointment of
committees to Push the matter-which
they seem not to have done. Anyway,
very little progress has ever been made.
Yesterday, however, Col Eugene &.
Harrell Quartermaster General and
Chief of Ordnance of the State Guard.
drafted the following BILL which will be
sent to Adjutant General Cowles, who
is now in Washington, to give to Senator
Pritchard for introduction in the Sen
ate at once.
This begins to look like business, and if
the citizens of Raleigh will at once take
the matter up, form definite plans and
send a good committee to Washington,
there is no reason why this bill should
not become law.
1t would mean the annual expenditure
of from a quarter to half a million dol
lars in this city which is now spent else
where
Col. Harrelrs proposed bill is as fol-
lows:
IAN Act to establish a Military Post at
or near the city of Raleigh. n. c..
THE Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States, in Congress
assembled. do enact:
Section /. That upon the tender to
the Government without expense, of a
suitable tract of land at or near the
city of Raleigh, North Carolina, COM
prising not less than 300 acres, there
shall be established thereon a Military
Post by and under the Secretary of
War.
Section .. That the sum of 100000
be and is hereby appropriated from the
United States Treasury, from any
amount not otherwise appropriated, for
the purpose of this act.
Section 3. That work upon the Post
shall begin as early as practicable from
the ratification of this act.

AGAINST FEDERAL DOMINATION

To the Editor: As to my position, |
stand with the people in their fight
against usurpation of corporate power.
l stand by Governor Russell in his fight
for the maintenance of State sovereignty
and against Federal domination and
foreign despotism, for ]. Pierpont Nor
gan is but the mouth piece of the Roth
schilds The masses are crying, are we
going to sell our birthright for mess of
pottage, or are we going to unite to
man, regardless of partisan prejudices,
against this high handed inva-
sion by Federal sanction.
think your first question is fully settled
by the Nth amendment to the Constitu-
ton, which is more fully explained by
the circumstances that brought about
the amendment. Could the fathers of the
Constitution awaken from their distant
slumber they would look with shame
upon the h-handed scheme of Carlisle
& Co.
To the second question, / answer, no.
1t is q conceded, if not an acknowledged
fact, that, from the days of the RevOlu-
ton, we are capable of governing our
selves, which fact brought about seces-
sion and the contrary of which, only was
decided by might. The next step, no
doubt, will be demand for the State to
make an assignment to the Federal court
for the benefit of J. Pierpont Morgan &
Co. No one doubts but that Governor
Russell has ability sufficient to look after
the best interests of the Old North State
and may he win in his fight for the best
interest of the whole State.
Very truly, yours,

BRYANISM AND BAILEY.

Every Republican in the country is re-
joiced because they say the selection of
Bailey as leader of the House is a repu-
diaton of Organism. If it were true,
the Republicans would have cause to re-
joice The reputation of the Chicago
platform would be a Reputation of true
democracy, and would prove the death
knell of the peoples hopes. But Bailey
is quite as ardent free silver advocate
as Bryan; he believes as strongly against
government by Injunction and he is
also hostile to the trusts and Il high pro-
tective tariff He favored the nomina-
ton Of Bland for President over Bryan.
That is the only peg the Republicans
have to hang their claim that Bailey
elevation is reputation of Organism.
When they read Bailey's excoriation of
the Dingley tariff they will see that his
Democracy and Bryan's is of the same
school.
