THE GOLD Bu6S::,AND: M0N0PLIsTS
ARE GROWING.
Ever since the last election, and
since the Legislature ad.
journed, the Charlotte Observer has
been ridicullng Bryan, Chairman
Jones. and "our noble cause" and
boasting that the Legislature was
not tainted with that heresy. It will
be rendered that 1t was the Charlotte
Observer that tried to carry North
Carolina for M'Kinley and to defeat
Bryan in the last campaign, of 1896,
in a sneaking and covert manner
while pretending to support him. It
will be remembered that it was the
Charlotte Observer that took the lead
in opposing any plan or effort to
unite in the last State campaign in
1898 the silver forces that united and
carried the State for Bryan in 1896
by over twenty thousand majority.
It will be remembered that it was
the same Charlotte Observer that
took the lead in trying to get q fusion
of the Cleveland Democrats and the
Bryan Democrats fusion of the
gold and monopoly Democrats with
the silver and anti-monopoly Demo-
crats-in the interest of gold and
monopoly, behind the cry of mig
ger" as advised by Cleveland. 1t will
be remembered that after many and
long discussions of Cleveland plan
and Bryan's plan before the Demo
cratic State Committee, that the gold
bugs and the ''nigger" won by a vote
of two majority. This is admitted
by the Charlotte Observer. In fact,
it boasts of it's victory before the
State committee. The result was the
shocking, outrageous, low and dirty
campaign that followed-a campaign
in which every great economic issue
was put in the background while the
basest and worst passions of mankind
we're appealed to, which resulted not
only in bad blood, but in blood-shed
and murder. A further result was
the Legislature which has just ad-
journed-a Legislature elected by
the gold syndicate, the monopolists
and the trusts, and Legislature that
did nothing that these monopolists
determined to defeat. Now let it be
remembered that if the advice OF
Bryan, Chairman Jones, and the ma
tional silver leaders had been follow.
cd that we would have had instead q
heightened, elevated, and dignifisd
campaign, with all of the gold-bugi
and monopollsts on one side and with
all the silver men and anti-monopo
lists on the other side, with q full
FREQ, and intelligent discussion o.
the great issues at stake, and the re
suit would have been q most triumph

Carolina, of any party with . thin

statement. An overwhelming ma

Carolina are against gold an,
