The Democratic machine politicians
who did the bidding of Cleveland,
Ransom, and Col. Andrews at their re-
cent State Convention of railroad
lawyers, are raising quite howl about
the nomination of Col. Dockery for
Congress in the 9Th District. Thew
are raising howl because they realize
that they cannot defeat him. The
Ransom machine had hoped to elect
some man like John D. Bellamy for
Congress in that district. Bellamv
would prefer to see Cleveland Presi-
dent rather than Bryan. 1t is such
men that the machine wants to send
to Congress. Col. Dockery stands now
where he did in the last campaign.
he had the courage to repudiate the
gold platform of bis party and to SUD-
port Bryan for President. How manv
OF those who are abusing him would
have the courage to repudiate Grover
Cleveland If he should be nominated
and support = Populist candidate for
President who stands for the PRINCIPLES
OF good government!
Dockery will be elected, and he can
be depended on to stand by the people
after he is elected.

SIMMONS THE RIGHT MAN.

The sO-called Democratic State Ex-
ecutive Committee has elected for its
State Chairman one F. M. Simmons, of
"secret circular" fame. With all the
Wholesale election frauds and ballot
box stuffing that has occurred in North
Carolina, it is safe to say that the bal
lot box has never been prOstituted as
badly as it was when Mr.. Simmons was
Chairman before.
One of the reasons why the Demo-
cratic State Convention refused to CO.
operate with the Peoples Party was
because the Peoples Party demanded
as one condition, that there should be a
free ballot and fair count, and to this
end each party should not only have
representation on all election boards,
but representation of their own selec-
ton. Simmons is opposed to this fair
and honest method. Indeed this is the
only means by which fair election can
be assured. The gang Of railroad at
torneys who composed the convention
are opposed to honest elections; and
one of their reasons for selecting Sim
mons for State Chairman was on &C.
count of his reputation as a successful
ballot box suffer and manipulation.
Again Simmons is known to be one
of the leading lieutenants in the old
Ransom machine aud rank Cleveland
ite. Probably no man could have been
selected who is more offensive to the
real friends of w. J. Bryan and Zebu-
lon b. Vance than Mr.. Simmons.
We must say, however, that we are a
little surprised at Mr.. Simmons being
selected. We had thought that the
machine, having refused cooperation
and repudiated Bryan's suggestion,
would then as matter of good politics
select chairman in whom the hon.
est masses had some confidence. In.
deed, it would have been better for the
machine in the coming campaign to
have selected such man, but their &C.
ton in selecting Mr.. Simmons shows
that they are looking forward to the
campaign Of 1900, and that they are
determined to have a Ransom and
Cleveland delegation to 60 to the next
National Democratic Convention.
Besides, the machine has probably
decided that it is better to depend upon
ballot box stuffing in this coming CAM
paign than to depend upon appealing
to the honest masses of the voters. AZ
ter the action of the Democratic State
Convention, composed as it was of gold
bugs and railroad attorneys, there was
nothing more logical, fitting or proper
that they could have done than to Sc
lect Mr.. Simmons for their State Chair
man. He is the typical representative
of the monopoly machine that ran the
Convention.

Webster's Weekly


Far from the Weekly's feeling hu-
inflated by the defeat of its policy
sustained in the State convention,
never IN its rife has it had a more
cheering sense Of duty faithfully per-
formed. We are not the keeper of
other mems consciences, but ours is
clear. We did what our conscience
and judgment dictated, and what Mr..
Bryan and the national Democratic or.
ganization approved and requested.
The odds were against us-party pref.
udice, ambition, the lust Of office, the
together, but the path Of duty was plain
and we would tread 1t again with GER
tain defeat awaiting US. II the pre-
vailing policy proves the winning
policy, our principles are vindicated;
II the contrary, our hands are free of

twill be observed that the Pull
man Palace Company, which ap-
pealed with feverish anxiety for
the protection of United States
troops in 1894, is one of the first
companies to protest against pay
ing just taxes for the support of
the government in a foreign war.
When the Pullman COMPANY
and it's allies were in difficulties,
Chicago was turned into an armed
camp, and the peaceful people of
this town were treated to the most
imposing military spectacle they
had seen since the civil war. Fair
play would seem to demand that
the Pullman company should re-
pay part Of the obligation there
by incurred.
Isn't it time the "patriOtism"
which exhausts itself in the "pro-
tection..Of vested interests" were as

THE REASONS WHY,

why DID the Democrats refuse to CO.
operate with the Peoples Party A. re-
quested by Bryan and the national or
ganization Of the party?
Because the party in North is con-
trolled by men opposed to Bryan and
his principles.
Because the Clevelandites and the
RansOmites who controlled the Demo
cratic State Convention are opposed
to the election OF nine free silver aud
anti-monopoly congressman from
North Carolina.
Because the gold-bug monopolists
and railroad attorneys who controlled
the Democratic State Convention are
opposed to q reduction OF freight and
passenger rates.
Because they are opposed to putting
a curb on monopoly by preventing the
removal OF cases to federal courts
which should be tried in our State
courts.
Because they are opposed to electing
such an honest official "a John Pear
son, Railroad Commissioner.
Because they are opposed to setting
aside the Infamous midnight. ninety
nine year lease.
Because they are opposed to electi ng
a legislature that would stand square,
ly by the people and against monopo-
lies and trusts in all their forms.
Mr.. Bryan described their condition
exactly when he said that where such
gold men and monopolists controlled
the machinery against the will of the
people that they would profess to be for
the principles that the people favor
while at the same time they would do
everything in their power to prevent
victory for such principles.
We notice that several of tire Demo.
cratic papers of this State have been
publishing the resolutions passed by
the Democratic State Conventions of
South Dakota, Kansas and Michigan,
and calling attention with much xrat-
licatIOn to the fact that all :" these
conventions passed resolutions eudors-
ing Bryan and free silver. We notice,
however. that these Democratic papers
are careful not to state that the Demo-
cratic conventions of South Dakota,
Kansas and Michigan went further
They not only endorsed Bryan and
silver in words, but they did it in &C.
tions. They accepted in each State the
proposition Of the Peoples Party for
cooperation on the lines pointed out
by Bryan as the only practicable and
feasible way to win victory against
monopoly and the gold standard. A
goldbug and monopoly convention of
Democrats will at any time pass reso-
lutions endorsing Bryan and free sill
yer If it is necessary to do 80 to fool
the people, and then refuse to take the
course necessary to win q victory for
free silver. Bryan foresaw this dan
ger when he made the following i'm
pOrtant utterance:
where the gold Democrats are nu.
merically strong they will insist upon
ignoring the Chicago PLATFORM: but
wnere they are numerically weak they
VII! profess to accept the platform, but
Will oppose every plan that is calcula-
TED to bring success to the PLATFORM
This is exactly what the goldbugs
and monopoly Democrats who con-
trolled the North Carolina Democratic
Convention did; and if the goldbues
and monopolists had controlled the
Democratic Conventions of South Da-
kota, Kansas and Michigan, they would
have done just like the North Carolina
Democrats did.
