WaOOELL FOR SENATOR.
His Claims Upon the Party and the
Reasons Why He Should be Re-
Warded Now.

EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-Please allow me
through the columns Of your valuable
PAPER, briefly to call the attention OF the
Democratic party and the State at large
to the claims OF Col A. NJ. Wa6deIi i'll
the approaching Senatorial contest. If
not the very ablest man in the State. he
is certainly one Of them, high above
suspicion, pure and honest. His Demo-
racy has never been and can never be
questioned; whenever necessity required
or opportunity offered, he has always
freely given to the best interest OF his
State. his time and talent without re-
ward or the hope of it. He was as good
a soldier. as this or any other State fur
dished the army during the war between
the States He certainly wore the gray
up to the hiit and if he did not actually
fire thu first gun for white supremacy
he was the leader Of the man that did.
We all know the part he took in the Will
mington affair and we all know that the
Wilmington affair virtually and practI-
calIy settled the negro question in the
State | would not, for any cOnsidera-
ton, detract one toto from the character
or the claim OF any aspirant in this con
test, each and all of them acted their
parts, in the last campaign, we'll and
nobly, and achieved splendid results; but
when the people Of Wilmington with Col.
WaddeI in the lead touched the button
and put the ball in motion rolled all over
every part of the State and SO fired the
heart of every white man who respected
his race and hated negro rule, that it
made what followed, possible, il not com
pnrativrly easy.
Col. WaddelI while yet in the full pos
session OF his gigantic intellect and manly
physique, is nearing three score years
and ten, and consequently, has not much
longer to wait for mundane things, so il
the party and State ever intend to do
anything for him, now is the time and
the only time The other a-prants ESQ
far as | know are comparatively young
men and have ample time 10 wait for
honor- already won and richly deserved
| that viii be- most assuredly accorded
| them later on so hope that when our
people vote in the primaries they will not
| overlook, or neglect the claims Of this
| great and good man but bear them III
| mind. and especially would | ask them
not TO forget that this is the last and
only opportunity the people OF the State
will ever have to honor him, for the
| many valuable services rendered, to his
| party, State and country. SO, Mr.
| Editor, most respectfully call upon the
! people from one end Of the State to the

The report is incorrect. Mr.. Aycock
recently said-and said what every
man who knows him knew he would
say: II do not think | ought to ad
vocate any Of the candidates for the
Senate. They are all my friends and
! think the people ought to be per-
mittcd to select their Senator without
pressure from those whom they have
already chosen to hi gh office. shall
not enter into the fight"
Mr.. Aycock has been chosen Cover
nor of the State by united party.
If he had any preference for Senator
he would not have the right to cxer-
else the influence given him by all
the voters in the party to advance one
good Democrat over another. The
primary has been adopted to let the
Democratic voters directly select a
Senator. 1t would be manifestly i'm
proper for any official. given position
by the votes Of all the party to use
his official influence or the influence
thus given him to advance the for
tunes of one deserving Democrat over
another deserving Democrat.

The people think, and rightly too
that Chairman Simmons deserves the
Scnatorship for his great services As
State chairman in the last two cam

they naturally grow TO like him bet

As we have stated before we will
support Chairman Simmons IN the

we believe his party services entitle
him to almost anything he might ask
from the Democratic party Of North
Carolina, but because We know HIM
TO be Il loyal Democrat who stands
upon the State and National plat

of his training. experience and ability
will make great senator. In our

Simmons Denies Charges
BROUGHT AGAINST HIM FOR POLITICAL
EFFECT.
Why Senator Vance Opposed His Con-
firmation as Collector Was Not
Based on Personal Grounds and
Nothing Derogatory to His Personal
Character Whatever-Not in Pay of
Southern Railway or Other Cor
poration, Now or at Any Other Time

The following letter written by
Hon. F. M. Simmons answering in
detail certain charges referred to in a
letter from Mr.. j. d. Allen explains
itself:
MR.. J. ID. ALLEN,
FALLS, n. {.
Dear Sw:-I am in receipt of your
recent favor, in which you say that it
is being charged against me, as an
aspirant for the Senate,
First. that Senator Vance opposed
my confirmation as Collector upon
grounds derogatory to my personal
character.
Second, that | am charged with
being a secret agent of the Southern
Railway Company, and that it and
other corporations have been, and
are now, paying me large sums OF
money to protect their interests as a
lobbyist and otherwise, and in which
you express the opinion, in which
concur, that as | am a candidate for
their suffrage, the people are entitled
these charges.
In reply. | beg to say that Senator
Vance's opposition to my confirma-
ton was not based upon personal
grounds and no charge against my
personal character was made in con-
nection with that matter. At the
time of my appointment as Collector,
Senator Vance, together with the
other Senator and all the Democratic
Congressman from North Carolina,
favored me. The subsequent opposi-
ton of Senator Vance to my confir-
nation arose out of complications
connected with the appointment Of
the Collector for the Western district
of North Carolina. The records OF
the Senate and the delegation in
Congress from this State at that time
will bear out these statements.
With reference to the second charge
to which you refer, l beg to say that
it is not true that | am attorney OF
agent, either secret or otherwise, OF
the Southern Railway. have never
appeared for that railroad in any
capacity. 1t has never paid me q
cent of money in my life, except a
contribution made to me as chairman
of the committee in 1898, which was

On the contrary, | have appeared and

Mckinley's Negro Officials
(StateSville Mascot.)

Mckinley has appointed many ne
groes to office in North Carolina
Many of these negroes have been APP
pointed postmasters in Eastern towns
and villages where white women and
children have to come in contact with
them. They are all offensive and OBJ
noNious to the white people. In fact,
a negro postmaster is probably as
obnoxious rs any other negro officer
could possibly be. for all sexes and all
ages have business with postmasters.
If Mckinley is reelected he will keep
these negroes in office. If Bryan is
elected no negro will get office in
North Carolina. Under which FLAG,
