One thing is certain in our OF Nor,
and that is that there will MT be
crowds standing, with hat in hand,
1T the back door Of the Demo cratic
party begging admission. Meth .r are
they afraid that they will be trea'ed as
servants and not be allowed in the
society of democrats. tVinegar never
catches f1ies." For the masses of the
Democratic party we have profound
respect, but for any CUR that would
breathe forth any such sentiments as
the above in public meeting, we have q
can't-help-it contempt. He deserves
not only the criticism and contempt
of his party, but to be relegated to q
back seat.
We wish it distinctly understood
that we cOncede to the Democratic
party a perfect right to refuse to CO.
operate with any party and 20 it alone.
We also cOncede the right to the pOpu-
lists to offer cooperation. Time will
prove which would have been the
wiser course. So long as we stay apart
just so long will the gold standard pre-
vail. So long as Cleveland-RansOm
delegates make up the conventions,
and gold standard press advise these
delegates, just SO long will we stay
apart.

SENATOR KYLE NOT 4 POPrLI>T.


The Associated Press in its report
of the action Of the Senate in issuing
bonds, said that one Popuiisf, Mr..
Kyle. voted for the issue OF bonds.
Senator Il Itler corrected this state
ment on the floor Of the Senate. say
ing that Mr.. Kyle WAS not Popuiist,
aud that every Populist voted against
the issue OF bonds. He said that he
trusted that the Associated Press
would not Islander the Peoples Party
by CHASING Mr.. Kyle rs 4 Populist.
Senator Pettigrew then took the
floor and proceeded to show that Mr.
Kyle WAS elected to the Senate by the
Republicans under bargain by which
they secured his vote, and that his
vote gave the Republicans q majority
| in the Senate-that he was in fact 4
Republican.
As soon as the above information
reached the Charlotte Observer, it a
once discovered that Mr.. Kyle was {
great and good man, and proceeded t.
praise him and start a fresh TRADE o
abuse against Senator Butler. In fact
oil that any man has to do to get IT,
praise of the Observer is to supper

W. J. BRYAN FOR co OPERATION.

Why Silver Democrats and Populfsts and
Silver Republicans Should Cooperate.
"While it is always difficult to Sc
cure harmonious cooperation be-
tween distinct and separate political
organizations, there are times when
this cooperation is both wise and
necessary. In the campaign of
1896 the Democrats, Populists and
Silver Republicans united in de-
handing the immediate restoration
of Independent bimetallism at the
ex sting ratio of 16 to l, and they
agreed in declaring that the money
question was of paramount impor-
lance at that time.
The question now arises, should
these three political organic atoms
act together in the Congressional
campaign of 1898.
I answer without hesitation, yes.
Those who answer no must assume
the burden of proving first, that CO.
operation was unwise in 1896, or
second, that conditions have so
changed as to make unwise now
what was wise then. The defeat
that befell the allied forces does not
prove cooperation at that time to
have been unwise, unless it can be
shown that some one party would
have been more successful than the
three combined.
Cooperation does not contemplate
the abandonment of party organiza.
ton or the surrender of any political
principles; nor is cooperation de.
Tended on the ground that the plat.
forms of the three parties are iden-
teal. Campaigns generally turn
upon q few issues, sometimes upon
one, and events do much to deter.
mine which issue shall most Absorb
public attention.
If the Democrats, Populists and
Silver Republicans were agreed up
on but one question, that question
might be important enough to JUST
fy cooperation, although the par
ties differed on all other subjects; but
those who advocate the union of thu
principal reform forces against tn,
common enemy, can point not to one
but to q number of reforms which
are demanded with equal emphasi,
by Democrats, Populists and Silve
Republicans.

THEY ACTED LIKE GOLD-BUGs. SAYS
BRYAN.
The gold and monopoly Democrats
are everywhere trying to debauch the
Democratic party. Instead Of going
into the Republican party, where they
belong, after trying to defeat Bryan
and to elect Mckinley in the last
campaign, they are making desperate
efforts to capture the party and to
turn down Bryan and repudiate bis
principles.
Mr.. Bryan fOresaw this, and in an
open letter published sometime since.
clearly fOrecasted the schemes and
methods they would adopt to accom-
plish their perRdious purpose.
He said: "Where the gold Demo-
Gratis are numerically strong, they will
insist upon ignoring the Chicago plat
FORM" This they have done every
where. where they had the power. But
in a majority of the States they have
not this power, and it is in these States
that they are the most dangerous, be-
cause they must work under cover to
carry out their conspiracy.
Bryan foresaw this, and in his letter
above referred to, said:
"But where they are numerically
weak, they will profess to accept the
platform, but will oppose every plan
that is calculated to bring success to
the platform"
In North Carolina these Cleveland
conspiratOrs are numerically weak, SO
they pretended to be for Bryan and to
endorse the Chicago platform. In
this way they fooled the honest masses
and got themselves elected delegates
to the State Convention. When the
convention met, these gold-bqgs and
Clevelandites and monopolists were in
absolute control They could have
passed through the convention reso-
luton repudiating the Chicago plat
form and endorsing the gold standard ;
they could have passed through the
convention . resolution repudiating
Bryan and endorsing Cleveland, Ran
som, nd Andrews; but they dared not
do this, because it would have opened
the eyes of the true free silver men
who make up such q large per cent of
the party. SO they passed resolutions
protesting to endorse the Chicago
platform, but they proved they were

we'll as to the giving Of the same. The
Democratic platform does not even
promise this. II says as little about
the free pass question as possible.
The next legislature should ere to it
that freight and passenger rates are
reduced to the gold standard level.
This would be an immense saving to
the people Of the state, and simple

ic platform, written by railroad attor-
nry., does not even promise THE.
Tire Peoples party endorsed the
bold, brave, and manly stand taken BY
Commissioner Pearson for such re-
duc,ion: but the Democratic state
Convention, controlled by railroad At
torn.ys, did not approve OF Mr.. Pear
sons patriotic course, and therefore
did not even give hIm a word OF praise
encouragement or endorsement.
Every honest silver man and every
true friend Of Bryan in North Carroll
ma endorses the above principles. which
the Democratic State Convention re-
pudiated and betrayed. Nov let BryaT
Democrats rally to the assistance o
the Peoples party to repudiate the &C

and to elect a legislature that vii

WILL TIE WAR NOW BE PUSHED
VIGOROUSLY.

VIGOROUSLY.
The Administration having rid it
self of the great obstacle in the way
OF &C, ion, we hope the war with Spain
will now be pushed to an early and
a successful conclusion. The obstacle
in question has been the objection Of
the bond grabbers to an early termi-
nation OF the war without an issue OF
bonds.
While Sampson and 3chley have
been rowing the seas, presumably in
quest OF the Spanish fleet (but miss
ing them as effectively a. il they had
had instructions to do s0) and Dewey
has been patiently waiting at Manila
for the promised but long delayed re-
inforcements,t to enable him to follow
up his brilliant victory by taking pos
session of the PHILIPPINES, Shy lock has
been maintaining very effective
blockade Of Congress, and refusing
permission to win lesser victories, such
as the conquest of the PHILIPPINES ard
Porto Rico, and the freeing Cuba, un-
til the great preliminary struggle in
which bonds were the spOils had been
decided in his favor. This great vic
tory having been won, the Admins
tration is now at liberty to proceed
with the minor details of the war
which it will probably do, provided nc
further obstacles are interpOsed by the
power behind the throne; and with q
vigorous policy it can soon end the
war.
For why should it not? Since the
beginning of this very one sided strug
gle, it has been apparent, not only tt
our own people, but to all nations o.
Europe, that there could be but one re-
suit, and that result a victory fol-
American arms. The engagement Al
Manila proved how vastly superior
are our warships to those OF Spain
and in every instance in which test O
Workmanship has been tried, th'
same degree of superiority on the par
of our sailors has been made manifest
And then, too, in addition to SPAIN
poor navy and poorer service, bel
treasury is almost depleted and it ha'
been with considerable difficulty tina
she has managed to prosecute the wa
thus far, as defensively as We hav'
acted through the whole affair. II
fact it is known that the bank of Spail
is on the point of suspension, ant
when it does, Spain must o: necessit!
sue for peace.
With the odds overwhelmingly il
our favor; Spain bankrupt, her bes
ships bottled up in Santiago harboI
Blanco and his army prisoners il
Cuba, the PHILIPPINES within GU
grasp, Porto Rico defenseless, ther
can be no reason since Congress ha
} surrendered to the dictatOrs of the ad
ministratiOn's policy, why this admin
istratiOn, with over two hundre
thousand soldiers under arms an
ready for action, and a navy that i
among the best in the world, shout
, prolong this one sided struggle agains
the puny power of Spain. The prog
> ress of the war from now on will ind
cate whether the bOndholders will b

A GOLD AND MONOPOLY ORGAN

The Charlotte Observer has frequent
ly objected to being classed as gold
and monopoly organ. 1t has also
grown indignant when charged with
Republican leanlngs and being de-
fender of trusts. Yet no fairminded
man can read that sheet and draw any
other conclusion.
Sometime since, when Senator But
ler's article on: Trusts; "The Causes
that Produce Them; The Remedy"
was published in the Arena, the Char
lotte Observer seemed very much Of
Tended because Senator Butler charg-
ed that the Republican party was own
ed by the monopolies and trusts, and
that the same influences controlled
Cleveland while he was President.
The other day, when Senator Butler
in a speech in the Senate charged that
the gold syndicate and all the trusts
and m 3nopolies contributed an i'm
meDse campaign fund to the Republi.
can party, the Charlotte O"--rver was
as loud-mouthed as any Republican
organ in denouncing the statement
which every honest and well Informed
| man knows to be trna.
If the Charlotte Observer j. not ar
organ of gold and III ,nopol, t:.en the
poor trusts and monopolies have no or.
gan at all.
