Washington, Dec. 24.-The river

the Columbia, and further provision
that this improvement be placed under
the continuing contract system until

Very respectfully,
CLEMENT MANLY.
Our Leader

From the east came this young giant
of Democracy; he bearded the Jute Trust
in its den, he smote it hap and thigh.
Who doubt his manhood or his cour-
age have yet to learn the man; and glori-
Gus victories as champion of the Anglo
SaXon's cause attest his skill and brain?
These victories must be maintained,
and Simmons is our leader.
While others faltered, Simmons acted.
He is a man of action, and the people
want him.
Learned and respected in his calling,
with astute, cultivated mind; and strong
phyS ique-the heritage of simple
modest life: he loves not money for the
moneys sake: he spares not of his talent
nor his means, that he may do his people
good.
What care we that the enemy mal:Cns
hm-we love him and we trust him.
We love him for his laborS, we love him
for his life, we love him for the enemies
that he has made.
His calm confidence of right. his wis
dom and his zeal impress us that he il
an honest man, a chosen leader of the
people.
The east now calls upon the west to
aid them in choosing this man, and shall
we faher ?
Hail. gallant leader of a noble cause
your people will delight to do you honor!
HERIOT GARRISON.

and Pritchard when they led their party
to victory? They were both made SEN
ators, and l think every Democrat ex-
pected II and thought they were being
properly honored. as much as we hated
to see it done. If Mr. Simmons is de-
feated l fear the fusiouists will claim it
as their victory, and they will also claim
the man who is elected.
Now, these are my reasons, as a pri-
vate citizen. for favoring Mr.. Simmons
for the Senate: but II either OF the
other gentlemen who are candidates
should receive a majority Of the votes
east at the primaries I. as one of the
representa- lives OF Runcombe county.
will cast my vote cheerfully for that
man when the Legislature votes on tho
question.
1t appears to me that the frst and
most important duty Of the Democrats
of the State is TO elect our electors to
vote for BRYAN and Stevenson and elect
orr nine congressman, and not allow
our zeal for our choice among Demo-
Gratis for United States Senator to
cause us to neglect these things Of par
amount importnce and let the enemy
CAPTURE these offices.

bagged? J. G. CURTIS.

Simmons for the Senate
Winston. n. O.. Oct 23.

Winston, N. O.. Oct. %.
In my opinion Mr.. Simmons should
receive the cordial support OF ake Demo-
cratic party for United States Senator.
II elected TO this position. he will make
an honorable record for the State.
His capacity for tails, acquaintance
with Congressional ork, and his great
industry make him the surest reprcsen-
tative of the business interests of the
people: his logic. strength, and vigor of
thought, and his political knowledge and
acumen wcnld give him position as a de-
batter. capable of maintaining the true
interests and good name of the State.
The Democratic party does not owe
any man anything. but the people COM
posing this party are grateful to any citi-
zen for 4 great service done an their be-
half Others might have done all that
Mr.. Simmons has done, but Mr.. Sim
mons, in the last Two campaigns, did
more than any other one man in tho
State to make possible the election of Il
Democrat to succeed Butler. This en-
titles him to the support of the people.
To defeat Mr.. Simmons in the COM
ing primary is to give countenance to
the charge of fraud now so publicly
made against the Democratic party by
its enemies. and is playing the hands Of
every Republican and Populist in the
State.
For these reasons I shall support Mr..
Simmons.
Very respectfully,

Editor The Citizen: Since much is

10 present few reasons why we, as

rule in 1876, from darkness into light"
as it were, and shall We he more I'M
