The good days passed ON in inactivity.
Volunteers were called for and the re-
Spouse was ready. In NEST States they
were allowed to suffer for clothes and
equipment. Every day for a month
the news came that demonstration
was to be made and troops were to EN-
bark for Cuba. Then it was given out
that the army would move on Porto Rico,
and the invasion of Cuba would be post
poned until the rainy season was ended.
But for the appearance of Cervera' S
fleet at Santiago, there would have been
no attack in Cuba until another big issue
of bonds had been secured. Samp-
sons demand for troops in that emer-
gency could not be refused. They
were sent, and now the war may be
said to have commenced in Cuba, the
only place where it could be decisivels
waged. If the army and navy officers
are not troubled with orders from Wash
ington, they will take Santiago and
then press on and capture Havana,
thereby quickly ending the war. If the
Republican politicians can control events,
there will be further delay In advancing
upon Havana after Santiago is taken.
1t is to the interest of the country
to end the war quickly, and to settle
wisely and unselfshly the problems
growing out of war, so that the people
can return to their ordinary avocations.
To this end the Democrats have lab0red
and without thought of par
ty advantage. The men in the Republi-
can party are trying to divert the masses
from the robbery under the gold stand
ard and protection by proposing dazzling
schemes of conquest and Imperialism.
The politicians among them are led to
this course to escape the wrath OF the
people from their vicious legislation, but
the element represented by the Hanna
class see more bonds at home and big
pickings in the colonies for those who
are sent out to govern the islands. Wey-
Ter made millions as Governor of Cuba
on small salary What he made was
not circumstance to what some Napo-
leon of finance like Mark Hanna or
Steve Elkins would make in the Philip
pines.

HOW TIE REPUBLICANS USE THE WAR.

1t was happy solution of the differ
ences in the Democratic members of
Congress on the annexation of Hawaii
that no action was taken by the caucus
called to consider the question. There
are wide differences of opinion III the
party as to annexation and it would
have been unfortunate if members of the
party in Congress had by their action
made it and the question of Cuban an
nexation paramount to the great econo-
mic questions that concern the people
vastly more than all the schemes of an
nexation that have been proposed.
1t is not so much that the Republi-
cans believe in annexation that they have
brought forward the Hawaiian resolu-
ton at this time. 1t is not because they
are ready to surrender the gold standard
that they omitted all reference to the
money Question in the Ohio platform.
They are both parts of the formulated
policy which that party has Inaugural
ted Of ignoring the home and economic
questions and pressing the war and
issues growing out of the war as para
mount questions of the coming campaign.
Up to the declaration of war, the
Democrats had made sweeping gains in
all parts of the country. The disgust
with the Mckinley administration, its
snbservience to trusts and its repudia-
ton of its sacred pledges, its wantOn ex-
travagance and elevation of corrupt and
ignorant men to office, particularly in
the South-these things had converted
big Republican majorities into big Dem
ocratic majorities. The Republicans
hailed the small war cloud with secret
delight. They saw. in the war, if it
We're postponed long enough or not ended
too soon, the hope of retaining power.
The Democrats and Populists did not
want war; They did not bring on the
war. They wanted peace with honor,
and for that reason early in January
they plead for the recognition of Cuban
independence, confident that such recog-
could be fought and won before the
rainy season of the summer should be
upon us. Under the dallying of diplO-
macy, which is another name for shrewd
politics, the issue was postponed, and
the people were told that the delay was
in the interest of a peaceful settlement.
Recent events have shown that it was
to postpone it till such a time as would
best help the fortunes of the Republican
party.
1t was the plan to dicker and debate
until September and let the war be in
progress during the campaign The
murder of the men on the Maine com

ACTION or THE DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE.

The great Democratic victory of 1872
was won under the brilliant and aggres-
sive leadership of Hon. +. Nj. Simmons.
Remembering that splendid victory, the
Democratic State Executive Committee
elected Mr.. Simmons as State Chairman
again. He has experience, ability. capa-
city ms an organizer of a high order, and
will at once undertake with intelligent
zeal and inspiring faith the great re-
sponsibility placed upon his strong shout
ders. All men in the State who want
good government by white men will hold
up his hands, and give aid to every
movement inaugurated to secure the re-
turn Of the Democracy to power.
Mr.. Clement Manly retired from the
Craftsmanship because, not being rich
man, and living far from Raleigh, be
did not feel he could afford to give an
other half year to the arduous labor that
devolves upon the chairman. In the
campaign of 1896 he labored zealously
and faithfully, winning the gratitude of
the party by his valiant battle for the
principles of the Chicago platform. He
remains a member of the committee
where his advice and experience will be
valuable.
The unanimous reelection of Mr.. John
w. Thompson as secretary was de-
served compliment to a faithful and eff
ficient officer and a Democrat of 1.-THE
most straitest sect"
The Central Executive Committee is
made up of leading and influential Demo
Gratis whose presence in the councils
of the party will be most helpful in
many ways.
Now, with the organization of the
party perfected, the Democrats will
commence the work of education and or
ganization that will be kept up with sue
cess until the election is won.
