A SHAMELESS APPOINTMENT.

The Presidents determination to ele-
vate Attorney General McKenna to
position on the Supreme Court bench has
been met BY a vigorous protest from
tbe bar of the Pacific Slope. The formal
protest Of the Oregon Bar Association,
which has been forwarded to the Presi-
dent, is as rare an actoa for the bar
of any state to take as the language of
the protest is strong. We qaoe:
"Josenh McKenna's common reputa-
t;ou among his legal brethren, or among
his judicial brethren, has not accorded
him high place; but, on the contrary.
Though many who esteemed him until
now refraiucd from an expression of
ouinion, the concensus of opinion has
leen and is that he is not. either by
uatrral gifts, acquired learning or de-
csion OF character, qualified for any
judicial place of Importance, much less
for The highest place n the land.
To show how earnest is the opposition,
these lawyers, whose opportunities for
learning both the character and attain

such; that no unmortgaged President

CONE ALONG, BOYS.

N The Kinston Free Press re-echoes the
invitation of the State Democratic Ex-
ecut;ve Committee to all men who want
good government and just laws to come

be fully in accord with the Chicago
platform, and with w. j Bryan. No
honest white man, who fayors free
silver and genuine reform in both
State and nation. need longer hest
tate to re-align himself with the
Democratic party. The address of
the Democratic executive committee
has the true ring. Now, let white
men quit wrangling among them
selves, and get together for the
white man and the white metal.
Come along boys, let's all join in and
redeem the grand old North State
And they are going to come and find
a warm welcome from their only COM
rades. There is not county in the
State in which the best class of the Pop
ulists are not thoroughly Disguised with
fairs in North Carolina. Many of them
are going to show the offce-holding
brigade, which is on it's knees begging
their followers to stand firm, that they
are not the chattels of "nigger traders
to be used to bring scandals and dis
grace on the State, and to vote to keep
in office the men who have sold the
honor of their State and the principles
Of their party for a mess of pottage.
The men who voted for Bryan last
year and who redeemed the State in
1916 are not going to be kept apart dy
scAeming politicians who want to use
voters merely for trading purposes.
They want good government in the
State, such rs Vance gave us, and just
laws through the Federal government.
such as Bryan's success would insure,
and they are going in the year 1896 TO
repudiate every man and party that is
willing to affiliate with the enemies of
the white man and the white metal in
order to get offices.

ence, but has as we'll given the State a
citizenship better fitted for the duties
that inhere in citizenship.
