MIR. SIMMONS, CHARACTER
ATTACKED.

EDITOR ARGUs:-The most unseem-
ly and the most vicious attack that
has appeared in the Senatorial con
test was published in the Charlotte
Observer of yesterday in a letter
from Charles N. Vance.
It is unseemly because he seeks to
renew some of the animosities which
touch all political lives, and which
had entered into the life of his IA
ther, and to drag before the public
his fathers name to injure Mr.. Sim
mons.
Is it true that Senator Vance did
not like Mr.. Simmons? If so, was
Vance small enough to carry this
dislike to his grave, and did he leave
behind him son, who would open
the grave that dislike and hate might
come forth? We do not believe this
of Vance, but prefer to believe that
the writer of the article is the s'de-
generate son of q worthy sire" If
we remember Alright this same son
upon the death of his father had a
bitter contest with his fathers wife
as to who was entitled to the pos
session of the body and where it
should rest.
He says Mr.. Simmons is not wor-
thy of the confidence of the people
of the State, that he is unserupu-
lous.
After making a charge he says,
'sOf course Mr.. Simmons will deny
this, he denies everything, he can
give st. Peter cards and spades and
beat him denying every day in the
week." The Inference is that st.
Peter is a liar and that Mr.. Simmons
can beat him, and that the writer
cannot express his idea except by
reference to the card table. st. Peter
liar! st. Peter with cards and
spades! Nothing can show more
plainly the difference between
Charles N. Vance and his father than
the sacriligious way the son deals in
holy things. The people of North
Carolina love Zebulon B. Vance, but
they do not know his son. He Las
done nothing worthy of his name,
and with the great name of his &ther
behind him, has been brought prom
inently before the people twice,
once when he was disturbing. his
fathers widow by contesting her
right to lay his body to rest, and
now, when he attempts to shield
himself behind his fathers name to
slander and villify F. NJ Simmons.
When did Simmons become liar
and scoundrel? He is forty-six
years of age, and surely all this has
not developed in the last year. Was
he a liar and scoundrel in 1898
when he led the Democratic hosts to
victory? Why did not Charles N
Vance warn the people then? And
again, was he liar and scoundrel
in 1900, when under his leadership
the rule of the white man was for
ever established in the State?
We believe there is gratitude and
manhood left in the Democrats Of
the State and that they will resent
such methods, and let every Demo
crat remember now that when he
votes against Simmons he is indors-
ing these ISLANDERS.

SENATOR VANCE AND MIR.
SIMMONS.
DIR. I. w. FaisOn Makes Public
a Letter Written to Him by
Senator Vance's Son.

Senator Vance'S Son.
Charlotte Observer.
To the Editor Of the Observer;
Ihave received the following
letter, which explains itself:
Washington, Oct. %, 1900.
DR.. I. W. Faison, Cnal lotte,
N. c.:
My Dear Doctor: I have res
ceived your letter of the goth
inst, in which you ask me to
state what were the objections of
my father to the confirmation of
F. M. Simmons as collector.
Under ordinary circumstances
l would not be inclined to revive
recollections Of political contros
versies with which my father
was concerned, but when impress
ions, as I understand, are being
made in the State that as the
time Of his death he and Mr..
Simmons were on friendly terms.
I desire TO state that this is not
the fact, but on the contrary a
short time before my fathers
death he stated to me that ia his
opinion Mr.. Simmons was not
fit for this Office, or worthy of
the confidence or the people Of
North Carolina. [ know the fact
that my father regarded Mr.. SIM
mons as an unscrupulous polls
tician, aud for that and other
reasons he opposed his confr a.
alton for collector. But for his
death Mr.. Simmons would never
have been collector.
I know of my personal knowl-
edge there we're enough Senators
at that time with Senator Vance
to have defeated Simmons cons
firmation.
MY father stated to me that If
Simmons obtained control OF the
politics Of North Carolina it
would be conducted as a ma"
chine, regardless of the rights,
privileges or opinions Of the peo-
ple, and if there was anything
that my father abhorred IN polls
tics, it was a machine or boss
ism. Whatever honoIs be got
came from the people, and he
trusted them implicitly
AS expressed in card, which
he wrote to the Asheville Citi-
zen, in February, 1894, ne ops
posed the confirmation of Mr..
Simmons "upon personal, as
well as public grounds connect
ed with his unftness to hold the
position for which he haa peen
appointed, +"
Mr.. Simmons stated in res
cent card that Senator Vance
did not oppose him on account OF
any charges against his persona
character. There were some
charges of this kind. and some
serious objections TO him, Whlcf
were filed at the time with the
finance committee Of the Senate

and the heart purged of all resent
ments, ready for the searching
| eye of the Great Judge Eternal,
ready for the crown of righteous
ness which an appreciative and
loving people fondly cherish the
hope has been his reward IN the
| eternities of God.
Charles Vance says he has
t'made diligent search" for pa
pers fled with the Finance COM
mittee Of the Senate against the
personal character of Mr.. Sim~
mons, but 'failed to find them in
the records;" and then intlmates
that they have been purloined: !:
thus hoping to give some SEM
blance of truth to his viciouslv
false statement that any such pa
pers were ever on file with the
finance committee-or any other
committee. The personal charac-
ter and private life of Mr.. Sim
mons are without reproaeb; and
dis political career and public SER
vice are distinguished for daunt-
lees heroism in the face of inn
pending peril and absolute integ-
rity in the discharge of official
trusts.
Ii is useless to discuss fur
tber this vicious attack upon
one of the States most dsserv.
ing suns; man who has
served his party promptly, cheer~
fully, willingly, fearlessly, with
peerless ability and always with
an avalanche of victory such as
has never SO signally marked the
service of any other chairman of
the State Democratic Executive
Committee.
We have written what we have
written here as a simple act of
political and personal justice to
Mr.. Simmons, because we are p1.
culiarly acquaiated-more SO, per-
haps, than any other man in the
State, with possibly the single ex-
ception Of Hon. B. H. Bum, of
Nash. with the true inwardness
and all the facts Of the Vance-Sim-
mons variance, that has SO long
been4a closed incident in the pub
lie | fa of our Sta.e; and for the
degenerate eon to thus, again in
wade the sanctity Of the grave and
the sanctuary of truth, and seek
to rehabilitate his dead father and
put words into his mouth that be
never uttered against Mr.. Sims
mons and attribute purposes to
| his heart that he never cherished
is leprehensible in the extreme; is
odious beyond expression, and
will, we feel sure, find no toleras
tion with the decency-loving peo-
| pie of North Carolina.

AS TO G. N. vANCE's CARD.
Daily Argus, Thursday last.

Daily Argus, Thursday last.
In the Charlotte Observer OF
yesterday, and published else where
in this issue, appeared an open let
ter to DR.. [. w. Faison, Of that
city, from Ches. N. Vance, OF
Washington, D. c., and whose
father was the late Senator z. B :.
Vance, of North Caroliua.
The letter purports to be in an
swer to one written TO bin by DIR.
Faison asking the objections of
Senator Vance to the confirmation
Of Hon. E. M. Simmons as COL
lector-a matter that is familiar
to ARGUS readers.
The committee to which the
controversy was referred, and of
which Senator Vance was a mem
ber, icdulging the Senator In his
contention for awhile, he died be-
fore the reasonable limit of sssen-
atorial courtesy" expired-and in
due course the appointment Of
Mr.. Simmons was endorsed by
the committee and confirmed by
the Senate, and at time when all
the facts were fresh before the
committee. This proves conclus
sively that the charges against
Mr.. Simmons did not affect his
character, and, that the commit
tee Of Senators, who loved Vance,
treated the opposition as purely a
personal objection which passed
away with that great man; and we
know of our own knowledge,
from talk we had with Senator
Vance in the ssMarb1e Room"
just before he left Washington
for the last time alive to seek res
toration to health in Florida, that
he was ready to relent, and we be>
lieve it was his purpose to do so
on his anticipated next sitting with
his committee, the sta ement of
Chas. n. Vance TO the contrary
notwithstanding. A letter which
we wrote to Senator Vance during
his last illness in Florida, based
on the conversation with him in
the Capitol referred to above, will
sustain this statement il that let
ter is still extant among his pas
pers.
But why should this 'dead
past" be brought up at this day
and time and at this particular
juncture? And who is Charley
Vance, other than the son of his
father, that the people Of North
Carolina should be asked to be-
lieve the viliainous and vicious

party OF North Carolina, or the
sentiment of the people in that
State at that time. Mr.. Simmons
denied making this statement,
and, Of course, will deny it
again, but my father told me he
knew he made it, and I believe
him in preference to Mr.. Sim
mons. OF course, Mr.. Simmons
will deny this; he denies every
thing: he can give St. Peter
"cards and spades" aud beat him
denying every day in the week.
Although Mr.. Simmons isnow
posing as having been all along
the friend and champion of sill
yer, he joined in 1893-94 with
the enemies Of Senator Vance,
who we're trying to encompass
his downfall. Simmons was at that
time holding up the hands of MIR.
Cleveland, who lost no oppor-
tunity to injure Senator Vance,
politically, because the Senator
refused to support the uncondi-
tional repeal of the Sherman act,
but stood up squarely for silver
then, as he did until his dying
day.
In my opinion Mr.. Simmons
did not become friend Of silver
until he found that the sentiment
ef the people Of North Carolina
was overwhelmingly in that di-
rection. When Senator Vance
was fighting this battle for sill
yer Mr.. Simmons was doing all
he could in his power to uphold
the hands Of the administration,
which, as is we'll kno wn, by every
one, was in favor Of the single
gold standard, and was using it's
patronage in North Carolina to
that end.
I regret that Senator Vance's
name has been brought into this
matter, but inasmuch as it has,
in justice to his memory, and in
fidelity to his friends, and as an
affectionate son. I deny any and
all statements made, and by
whomsoever, that he ever relent-
ed in his opposition to Mr.. Sim
mons appointment or conirma-
tion as collector, or that he ever
entertained for q moment any
other than the opinion that from
any standpoint Mr.. Simmons
was wholly unfit for an Office Of
trust.
OF course, fthe majority of
the people OF North Carolina dea
sire TO send Mr.. Simmons to the
Senate, I can but acquiesce, but
I am determined he shall never
get TO the Senate upon the false.
pretense Of being the friend OF
Senator Vance, and I wish to say
to those IN North Carolina who
loved him in lie, and who still
love and revere his memory, and
I believe there are many, that
Mr.. Simmons was his enemy TO
his dying day personally and
politically, and was one Of the
chief of those whe tried~to humi-
late and hound him to his death.
/ I have written more at length
than I had intended, but I wish
the people Of North to under
stand that if my father were liv-
ing he would not for a moment
favor or 0even countenance the
| pretensions of Mr. Simmons to
senatorial honors. for 1 know
the fact that if he did not regard
him fit to be a revenue collector,
! he could not have thought him
| fit to represent a great State in
the highest legislative chamber
on earth. Yours very truly.
