Editor Register:
Under the caption, worrying"
in your issue of yesterday, you oen-
sure severely the Charleston Ga
zette for it's strenuous support of
Mr.. Bryan. Now to begin, have
no fears that the Gazette will "bolt
the ticket" as suggested by you, not
while Mr.. Mansfield is at the helm,
for he, like the writer, believes that
any candidate, National Demo
cratic Convention may nominate is
preferable to any Republican, no
matter who he may be. But, and
spell it with a big B, we, who
Always support the ticket, don't
want any more Cleveland Democ-
racy, which is of the same stripe as
German Democracy. No German,
thank you in ours. We want no
Eastern capitalist and millionaire
monopolist as our candidate. Mr..
Germans sympathizers as we'll as
his interests are all at variance with
the views of the great mass of
Democratic voters; he is not man
of the people, but the exrepresenta-
tive of aristocracy and the great
combinations of capital that now
dominate everything in this coun-
try. In 1896 the Democratic par
ty, for the first time since Andrew
Jackson, nominated a man who
represented the people in the truest
sense, and one who could not be
controlled in the interest of one
small class of citizens who happen
to own the wealth of our country
and through it desire to direct the
Government.
Now, every Palmer and Buckner
boIter is bowling German. Why
do they want German if he repre-
sents the principles repudiated by
them in 1896? This German boom
springs from the fear, in the hearts
of these traitors, that Bryan will be
nominated and elected. No Dem
oorat ever had 80 many votes as
Bryan had, and never will 80 many
voters rally to our standard bearer
again if we go to the East and choose
for candidate a tricky politician
who is not in any sense represen-
tative of Democratic sentiment.
Mr.. Bryan is not the only available
candidate we have, "there are 9th
ers," but none whose name already
enshrined in the Democratic heart,
as is his.
AS Democrats we desire to win
with our principles as we'll as with
our candidate, but would rather
once again follow our true cham
pion to defeat than win with a
shame. a BRYAN MAN.

There is SO much grown up in

great distance, 80 much interfer-

people and those who assume to

Don't Get Alarmed.

Some scientists have mado the
startling announcement that the
earth on the northern side of the
Great Lakes is gradually rising
and in the course of time the tilt
will be sufficient to pour the waters
of these great reservoirs right out
on the people of the United Statos.
The tilt will, in the course of time,
become so great that the flow of the
river Niagara will be reversed, and
instead of Lake Erie waters pour
ing down the Falls of Niagara and
flowing into Lake Ontario, the
waters of Lake Ontario will run up
the Niagara river, scale the preci-
pice and flow into Lake Erie. Erie
will then drain into Lake Huron,
Huron into Lake Superior, Super
Tor into Lake Michigan, which will
find its outlet through the Miss
isssippi river into the Gulf of Mex
leo. Several million years may
cycle by before all this takes place,
yet the people in the Mississippi
Valley are more or less apprehen-
sive. Some of the more nervous
people lie awake of nights contem-
plating the threatened inundation.

Satan Den0unces Sin.

The light-ingered professional
who Joins in tho cry of "stop thief"
of which his own guilty act has
been the occasionis fairly matched
by the present Republican cry
against the Trusts. This or that
Republican is opposed to Trusts, is
the glad shout Which we are hear
ing now.
The origin of the Trusts is traced
home to the protective tariff, which
has been the Republican shibboleth
and war-cry for four decades and
more; and the whole country is
aroused at these gigantic combi-
nations of capital that have been
running far into the billions during
the past year; the grim Democratic
prophecy repeated through long
series of Presidential campaigns is
fulfilled.
Tho area of argument is past and
the country is confronted with these
tyrannical giants which threaten to
revolutionizo trade by blotting out
honest competition, and force the
currents out of commerce into the
channels which these monopolies
have dug for them, and now we see
the very political leaders whose adj
vice and counsel has brought the
whole country under the iron heel
of these monopolies joining in the
cry against the results of their own
work. 1t is as if the man who had
planted the seeds of pestilence
should seek to hide his guilt by de-
nounoing his own work.
It is n very shrewd move but it
will hardly do. 1t was Abraham
Lincoln who said: "You can fool
part of the people all the time and
you can fool all the people part of
the time but you can't fool all the
people all the time" The trick
is shrewd, but it is too transpar-

0A Bryan NIan''

ga Bryan Man"
Took the Register to task Satur-
day morning, on account of an ar
tiole headed worrying" appear
ing in our paper of Friday last.
We have no quarrel with our es-
teemed friend, for his criticism.
We accord him that. right.
He, however, takes position,
and uses language we cannot en-
dorse, and hence must say few
words in defense of our posi-
ton.
So far as we are concerned, we
care not who is the Democratic
nominee for President, whether
it be Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. German,
or any other Democrat How
ever, a very considerable portion of
the Democracy of this country are
tending toward Mr., German or
some other Democrat. The lesson
taught the Democracy in 1896,
should incline the Democratic par
ty toward conservatism, in the Sc
lection of candidate, as our leader
and standard bearer.
If we could not unite the Democ-
racy upon Mr. Bryan in 1896, can
we do it in 1900?
Shall we force large part of the
Democracy to accept the Chicago
Platform, without even granting a
compromise in any particularly
That is the question for the Dem
ocrats to consider now.
The large number of men who
left our party in 1896, and voted
for Palmer and Buckner, or for
Mckinley, or stayed away from the
polls, are no less Democrats to-day,
they only disagreed with their
party upon certain policies, just as
our correspondent now disagrees
with the position of the Register,
and to apply the word traitor" to
them is unkind as we'll as unjust
Mr.. German supported Mr. Bry-
an in 1896, contributed of his
means and made speeches in sup
port of his election. He is known
to be free silver man, but may
differ with our correspondent as to
the ratio. Therefore, he is as good
a Democrat, as anyone in the party,
and MS popular with the masses.
Again, we never before, kifew
that man was to be condemned
as Democrat, because he's fortu-
nate enough and smart enough to
become millionaire.
We are not opposing Mr., Bry-
ans nomination, and no one will
give him moro ardent or heartier
support than the Register, but
should Senator German or any
other man get tho nomination we
will support him as readily, as we'll
as the platform on which he may
be nominated.
We beg, of our correspondent,
therefore, to permit our disagreeing
with him in many of the state
ments made in his communication
of Saturday last.
And further, remember, that un-
like Republicans, no man can drive
Il Democrat to his way of thinking.
He is too Independent for that.

MUNICIPAL INAUGURATION DAY

Tomorrow. Baltimore will have new
Mayor. Hon. William T. Malster. the
present incumbent, will retire. to be sue
ceeded by Hon. Thomas Gordon Hayes.
and the Chief Magis,racy of the city then
passes from the hands OF Republican
10 those Of Democrat.
The Inauguration Of Mr.. Hayes will
renew the long line of Democratic May
ors which had been broken by the incum-
bency OF Messrs. Hooper and Master,
Republicans. during the past four years.
For long while Mr.. Hayes has been
one OF the most prominent public men of
Maryla land. He is a lawyer holding posi-
ton in the front rank at the Baltimore
bar. and in the official positions in which
he has served. his intellectual gifts were
not only most manifest. but his fidelity
to duty and his earnest efforts in behalf
of the interests Of the people. were al
ways clearly defined, and won for him
the warmest expressions of public conf
dence and esteem.
Mr.. Hayes opinions on municipal af-
fairs have been boldly and zealously pro-
claimed by him on many occasions. He
is an uncompromising advocate of good
government in the fullest significance,
OF the preservation of peace and order;
economy of expenditure; intelligence.
honesty and capacity in department adj
ministration; the promotion OF the public
good in every form. and vigilant guard
ianship over every interest in which the
safety, the dignity. and the progress of
the city are concerned. This was the
platform upon which Mr.. Hayes agreed
to go before the people for the office Of
Mayor, and upon it he was nominated
and triumphantly elected. That he will
give practical and emphatic expression
to every pledge he has made there is no
reason 10 doubt. lie will be Baltimore's
first Mayor under her new charter
charter in which he himself had an i'm
portant part in coDstructing-and he will
therefore take especial pride in the en-
forcement and observance of Its provis-
ions. Mayor Hayes will also have the
earnest support of most excellent Demo-
cratic City Council, and with the good
wishes OF all the people, he will, all in all.
enter upon his duties under auspices and
conditions most favorable for an admins
tration that will not only have public APP
prevail. but that will add new honors TO
his name as public man and benefactor.
