SPIRIT OF THE PRESS,
HOW CAN THEY DO IT?
Wilmington Star.

Wilmington Star.
We take it for granted that the men in
this State now called Mckinley Demo-
Gratis" who voted for white supremacy
at the August election, were sincere and
really desired white supremacy. Not a
single one of them, we take it, would
admit that he is in favor Of negroes hold
ing office in North Carolina, and yet. be-
cause the Democratic platform does not
meet his appreciation in every particular.
he rejects that, opposes it's candidates.
accepts the Republican platform and sup
ports its candidates. That party believes
IN putting negroes in office lin the South
but not in the North). and candidate
Mckinley, for whom they say they will
vote and for whom they ask the white
voters of North Carolina to vote, has ap-
pointed scores of negroes to office in this
and other Southern States, and some
times in the face of the protests of nearly
every white person in the community
These, too, were mainly offices in which
the negroes came into direct contact with
the white people. With what show of
consistency then can man who processes
to believe in white supremacy and votes
for it, support party which declares that
politically the negro is the equal of the
white man, vote to perpetuate it in power
and to elect to office the man who has
appointed scores of negroes to office in
spite of the protests of white people?
The only possible excuse for such self
contradiction would be a pledge by the
candidate voted for that he would cease
to appoint negroes to office, pledge, it
is needless to say. that Mr.. Mckinley
would not make if he were asked to do
so, and which he could not make without
virtually repudiating the declarations of
the party to which he belongs.
When a so-called Mckinley Democrat
casts his vote for Mckinley he substan-
TALLY says to the Republican party
"Give us legislation that will put money
in my pocket and you can put all the ne
groes you want to in office in North
Carolina. When it comes to deciding be-
tween the profits l make and white SUI
premacy, l vote for the profits and let
white supremacy go by the board AS
between dollars in my pocket and negroes
in office, I'll take the dollars, and let
the negroes go in, however repugnant that
may be to other white people"

MR.. OLNEY'S LETTER.

The News and Observer today
prints the full text of ex-Secretary
Olney's letter declaring his intention
to support William j. Bryan in the
coming election, and giving reasons
why Mckinley should be defeated.
1t is a statesman-like utterance and
must have great influence in the
campaign. Mr.. Olney sets forth his
reasons clearly, judicially and in all
fairness, and it is hard to see how any
man can give the letter an honest and
impartial reading without coming to
the same conclusion as that reached
by it's writer.
In Mr.. Olney's opinion the re-elec-
ton of Mckinley means to the Amer
lean people:
1. That they sanction 'syndicated
Presidency-a Presidency got by the
Republican party by the money OF
combination of capitalists
3. That they endorse such legisla-
ton as the Dingley tariff bill.
3. That they uphold the policy of
greed for foreign territory, contempt
for alien peoples and the ''tactless
and brutal policy pursued since the
acquisition of the Philippines.
4. That we approve the policy by
which we have ''saddled ourselves
with the gravest responsibilities for
some eight or ten millions of the saw
age, or at best half-civilized, browA
people of the tropics"
5. That we welcome large standing
armies, a proportionate increase OF
the navy and onerous war taxes to
enable us to hold and govern new ac-
QUESTIONS.
g. That we favor the international
complications and the entangling al
liances which are ''the inevitable in
cidents and consequences of the ORR
entail role to which Mckinley has I'M
dertaken to pledge us
T. That the success of the Republi-
can party next November will mean
that the American people either do
not see or seeing, approve the great
and growing if not already over
whelming influence of money in our
politics." McKinleyism practically
holds out the Government as an en-
CINE for use in the acquisition of
private wealth, and the consequence
is that 1.-The money of the country
holly pursues the control of the gov
eminent, and the flag figures as sort
of commercial asset
This is the terrible Indictment Mr..
Olney draws, and reviewing it he de-
clares that "the calamitous possibili-
ties said to inhere in Democratic sue
cess, exaggerated as they are by parti-
san zeal and subsidized ingenuity"
are as dust in the balance compared
with the enduring evils to result from
the vicious national policies which the
American people are now desired to
impress with the seal of their favor
and to thus perpetuate indefinitely"
Mr.. Olney was Secretary of State
during Mr. Cleveland's second admin
istration, the Presidents trusted
friend and adviser. He is a man who
weighs his words carefully and who
was four years ago not entirely
in sympathy with either the platform
or the candidate of his party. In this
letter, however, Mr.. Olney has de-
| livered a message to the American
people which should bring every
thoughtful and potriotic man to the
support of Mr.. Bryan.

from Neuva Carceras. Philippine
islands. ON August 80. as follows:
me fighting has of late become more
active all over the island. The Tagals
have received much encouragement
from America in the Philippines plank
of the democratic platform and | ex-
Dect there will be considerable skirm-
shing from the present time until after
election.
We have just lately received papers
from the states containing the &C
counts of the political conventions.
The democratic platform was the OBJ
iect of interest. for we knew what
would be the denunciation of the re-
publican party. but did not know to
what extent the democratic party
would go. nor what stringent terms
they would employ to express their
disapproval of the republican party.
And of that platform. the plank
that is mostly commented upon is the
one touching the Philippine question
We had begun to- believe that senti-
ment was becoming more and more
favorable to the policy that has been
and is now being pursued in regard to
these islands. Even the Filipinos them
selves thought so. hut IL seems that
we both were mistaken. and a reaction
has taken place here.
The greatest announcement the in
surgents have ever received in the past
came from the expression at various
times of the opinions of public men in
America on the Philippine question.
but even the Filipinos never realized
that they were so favored by Ameri-
can opinion until they learned of the
Philippine plank in the democratic
platform.
The expression of a favorable senti-
ment has caused fighting to be more
actively resumed here

What was the result
On the very day following the cleo

Cancelled their contracts for home

Walter +. McEntire, Well

Speech He Makes public pro
fess ion of HIs New Faith

! Walter +. McEntire. the ST. Louis at
| torney. is well known in this city,
| where he has for some time had bust
ness interests. Hence he will need no
! introduction, nor will any Ell Pasoan
who has known him need to be told
that he used to be n staunch democrat
But this same Mr.. McEntire has
changed his mind and with it his po-
litical affiliations of lifetime.
The St Louis Globe-Democrat de-
votes considerable space to it's de-
scription of the occasion upon which
he made public profession of his new
faith. Says that paper:
The announcement that Walter F.
McEntire. the attorney. has deserted
the political affiliations of score of
years and will hereafter work with
might and main for the republicans
will be surprise to a large circle of
his friends. For the past twelve years
he has spoken in every democratic
campaign both in Missouri and other
states
In the campaign of 1896 he was at
the head of the campaign in this city
and naturally voted for Bryan as we'll
as the remainder of the democratic
ticket. He was the first vice president
of the Jefferson club and it's acting vice
president. as well as chairman of it's
campaign committee.
Mr.. McEntire made his initial home
republican speech at the Merchants
League club last night. He spoke brief
ly. not more than twenty minutes but
IN that time he succeeded in keeping
the members of the club at the highest
pitch of enthusiasm. AS he recounted
with pointed argument his reasons for
leaving the political associations of
lifetime. he received applause that at
the close of his speech amounted to
nothing less than an ovation.
