AGAINST MCKINLEY.

To The Commonwealth
am surprised to hear that Demo
Gratis in Scotland Neck are so beside
themselves that some are traducing the
character of Simmons and some that
of Carr. Shame upon all that speak
evil of these great men that have done
SO much for the State and party. Far
better to praise them all as they deserve
and vote for the one you prefer. You
are saying more about these good DEM
ocrats than you are against Mckinley,
the man who went to John Browns
grave and took off his hat and stood
with uncovered!head, as much as to say
he approved Of his coming south to
get the negroes to rise and kill the
whites for which he was hung and no
Chistian ought to vote for him because
he has pandered to the liquor business
during his administration and In one
of his trips west he put up with the
head of the beer trust and he gives pub
lie dinners on the Sabbath. This Is
enough for many without going into
his war record.

A VOICE FROM THE WEST,

To The Commonwealth:
This is the first time III he his
tory of our State that tho selection
OF United States Senator has been
left to the vote Of the Democrat Of tie
State in primary.
It is therefore important that .heTo
be discussion of the merits OF tbs
various candidates, SO that the lest
man may be chosen to Gil this high
and honorable office. 1t is important
that the man be selected who can test
serve his party and his State il The
highest legislative assembly n lis
country. It seems to me tJat We
should sclec: man Of experience n
politics, and one who has devoted Ills
time aud talents to the seryice OF his
party and his State, Tor by such train
ing we may expect to find Statesmen
developed.
1t seem to me that Hon. +. n. Sim.
mons is the man for the place. He is
q young man in full visor Of life, and
yet he has devoted many years 10 the
service of his party and his State and
has shown that he is leader Of men
and statesman of ability. He is
profound reasoner and speaker OF
great force, and can make his voice
heard and his influence felt in the sen
ate in support OF the great principles
of Democracy and in opposition to the
influences at work in the nation to tear
loose our government from the fouh'
dations upon which it was reared by
our fathers influence, tending to start
the government out on a course Oh
milltarlsm, imperialism and favorlt'n
to trusts and monopolies iraught WIN
great danger to the masses CT our peo'
pie.
It has been said that Mr.. simmons
Is machine politician. II By thai -
meant a man who organizes bis iofces
and wins victories for his party, then
agree that he is a machine politician
aud I say no other kind OF politician
can accomplish anything for his parry
or his State, and the fact thar Mr. SIM
mons is such leader and such Po'''
-tician is great argument for h. ele''

The men who carried this election,

who construed the election law sfrin-

all these Democrats are the peers Of

haps never before fell to the lot of any
man in the State. / have borne these
assaults with patience, counting my
self fortunate that was considered
worthy to suffer in the name of the
cause for which I was struggling.
This abuse has been directed against
me, not only as an individual, but I
have been denounced by the enemies
OF Democracy for everything done by
the Democratic party which has not
pleased them.
It now seems that these charges
made by the fusionists have been re-
vamped and are being circulated to my
detrlment by men In my own party,
because, forsooth, am in the way of
the ambition OF their favorite. So be
it, am not the only victim. Others,
yea thousands OF others, have felt the
mailed hand of power which brooks
no opposition to the accomplishment
OF its purpose, and which, though it
was not always SO, has recently become
in this country power mightier than
'sthe man" himself.
There is no skeleton in my closet.
For three years the enemies of Demo.
,cracy, with evil and vicious eyes, have
turned the searchlight of inspection
upon my life and character. In the
midst of it all have stood defiant,
asking no quarters and giving none.
/ ask none now, but there Is a differ
ence between injustice from foes and
injustice from friends. The former
may be regarded with Indifference
the latter is sharper than serpent's
tooth.
My Democracy is without qualifica-
tons. I stand straight, square and
fatfooted for every principle and dec
laration in our platforms, State and
National, and Tor Mr.. Bryan, the great
leader of our hosts.
There is we'll defined and largely

WHO OPPOSES SIMMONS.

The following communication ap-
peared in the Charlotte News Sept.
Goth:
The senatorial contest In the State
Is developing some interesting facts,
First, there seems to be disposition
on the part of General Carr's friends
to try to prejudice Mr.. Simmons can
dldacy by charging that he Is the ina
chine candidate" In making this al
legation they admit that the executive
committee in nearly every county In
the State favors Mr.. Simmons. This
charge, instead OF being a deadly shot
at Mr.. Simmons, as was intended, has
proved to be powerful boomerang
that has fallen back into the camp
from which it was hurled and wrought
CONSERVATION and disaster.
What stronger endorsement could
any man hope for than to have it
truthfully said of him by his opponents
that the leaders and committeeman of
the Democratic party throughout the
State favor his candidacy?
Well might Mr.. Simmons exclaim,
I"O, good, sweet friend, I thank thee
for haylng charged me with it."
Now what has Influenced the Demo
cratic party leaders to favor Mr.. Sim
mons with such unanimlty9 1t is
simply a becoming sense OF gratitude
coupled with knowledge and admlra-
ton of his splendid ability.
Second, 1t Is noticeable and signii-
cant that all the Mckinley Democrats
all the Independent Democrats, all the
anti-constitutional amendment Demo
Gratis, all the trusts Democrats, and all
the Rep-Pop- Democrats are opposed
to Mr.. Simmons. And why? Fol
the same reason that the organizatio
Democrats are for him, viz because
he has led the fight against the above
named spurious brands of Democrats
and having defeated them they would
"laugh up their sleeve" if they could
witness the scene of Democracy turn
ing down its champion. Remem Der
Ing how Mr.. Simmons has led the
st,aight Democracy to a splendid vic
tory, and put to flight the enemies 0
white supremacy, would it not be crue
and base ingrat!tude for the Democrats
to turn upon their leader, and joining
hands with the enemy, defeat and u.
initiate him?
! No spectacle could afford the enc
mics of the Democratic party more
pleasure, or It's friends more pain. Ir
my opinion it would be a politica
crime and there shall be none OF tn.
blood OF my own general upon my
hands, for

THEIR INTERESTS INDENTICAL.
FARMERS, GINNERs AND THE AMERICAN
COTTON Co. SHARE RoUNDLAP
SAVINGS.

Certain Southern papers are publish
ing articles designed to prejudice
against the roundlap bale those who
do not know their origin or purpose.
They are paid for by the square bale
compress associations, whose interest
is not that the farmers cotton shall be
bailed in the way that will bring him
the most money, but that it shall be
put up in bales that will have to be
compressed. The people of the South
are not to be caught with such chaff.
The favor with which the rouudlap
bale Is received wherever 1t has been
introduced is due to its merit alone,
and to the fact that producer receives
more money for his cotton in this form
ti.an any other package. He Will con-
tinuo to use the roundlap bale so long
as be finds it profitable, and no longer.
The interests OF the famer, the GIN
ner and the American Cotton Com
pany are identical.
The farmer has his cotton put in
roundlap bales because the sayings
which accrue In their marketing enable
the buyer to pay him premium suf-
fcient to pay the baling charge and
leave him substantial profit besides
Much as compressmen would like to
have farmers belive otherwise, the
American Cotton Company has no
purpose further than to secure for It.
self fair share of these sayings. IT.
interest lies in enabling the presses
which 1t builds to bale as much OF the
Southern cotton crop az possible. In
order to insure this result it is essential
that cotton growers find profit in the
uee OF these presses. or they would not
patronize them. To this end, and in
order that the full sayings of which
roundlap bales are capable might be
realized, the American cotton Com.
pany became a buyer of TIL
roundlap bales, paying for them a
premium above the market value OF
square bales. Thus the rental which
the company charges for the use of it's
presses by glnners who prefer lease to
purchase, is paid by neither the farme,
nor the ginner, but by the cotton buy
er (whether the American Cotton
Company or some other) and it is paid
out of the savings.
Beyond insuring that cotton in
roundlap bales shall in all cases sell fo,
the premium to which it is entitled
and which is paid for 1t at the mills
the company does not go. Its cotton
agreement does not require that q
single bale OF cotton bs sold to the
American Cotton Company. Ginners
are free to buy or lease presses, and
every roundlap bale, with all of its ad.
vantages, can be bought in open com.
petition by any responsible buver
and handled through him to the mills,
with all of the resultant savings. Int
wherever the ordinary cotton buver
declines to purchase roundlap bales on
this basis, the American Cotton Com.
pany stands pledged to buy them.

Festivities.

A successful fair was given at the
Haalelea lawn yesterday afternoon and
last evening by the Ladies' Aid Society
of the Methodist church. The Hawaiian
Quintette Club rendered music. In the
evening the place presented brilliant
appearance with many colored mean
descent lights which the Hawaiian
Electric Company had gratuitously
loaned the managers. japanese lam
terms also helped to frightened the
scene.
Mrs. Pearson and Mrs. Stone presid-
ed over the merchandise booth while
the curio booth was in charge of Mrs.
and Miss Ripley. Most of this collec-
ton had been gathered by Mrs. Stone
during her recent trip to Hawaii. Mrs.
Bachelor, Mrs. Lyle and Mrs. Coyne
looked after the fancy work booth and
Mrs. Howard, the toys and childrens'
novelties, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs Kerns
presided at the tea booth, Mrs Meal
lister sold the confectionery, lunch was
sold by Mrs. Clara Petrie and home
cooking by Mrs. Bryan.
The object of the fair was to raise
money with which to pay off a portion
of the church debt. A Christmas sale
will probably be made of the articles
undisposed of last night. over $500
was realized.

QUARANTINE WHARF ROAD
FOUNDATION Is BEING RAPIDLY
FILLED IN.
Naval Authorities are Dumping the
Dredgings Along Proposed Route to
Make a Solid Foundation.

Work on the governments new road
to the quarantine wharf is progressing
at a very rapid rate and the founda
ton will soon be ready for the territory
to start upon its part of building the
roadway proper. 1t will be months
though before the connection will have
been finished but the navy department
is certainly pushing its part of the
job ahead without delay.
When the government decided to
build a road along the Kaakaukukui
reef opposite to the wharf an agree
ment was made with Captain Merry
who was then commandant of the To-
cal naval station to utilize the dredg-
ings from the harbor in making a
foundation upon which to lay the road.
This agreement has been filled to the
letter thus far and the miniature rail-
road which hauls the dredgings from
the big work scow has been used to
carry the broken bits of coral and other
stuff taken from the bottom of the
harbor over to the reef.
The railroad is extended as it fills in
the road, with the result that the line
is now within a short distance of the
point where it is intended to build the
road. All of the water front from
where the dredging is being done has
been partially filled in and in some
places the grade has been raised four
or five feet.
The intention of the territorial gov
eminent is to build the road along the
mauka side of the little channel on the
mauka side of the quarantine wharf
and span this channel with two draw
| bridges. Whenever there is occasion
| to detain any person or material on
| the wharf access can be shut off by
raising the bridges
| Ala Moana is the name of the pro-
posed road and it starts from Richards
street at the foot of the naval wharf
No. l. Sidewalks will also be laid along
