Seldom, if ever, in a presidential
campaign has such an immense and
enthusiastic outpouring of Democrat.
10 workers been witnessed as that
which marked the National Conven.
ton of Democratic Clubs in Indian
spoiis last Wednesday and Thursday.
Ten thousand delegates represent
ing 5000 clubs with an aggregate
membership of more thaa 100000
democratic votes from every state
and territory In the union, sat in
council and compared notes. The
testimony of the assembled thousands
was that Bryan and Stevenson will
sweep the country in November.
Fully 100000 visiting Democrats
aside from the regularly accredited
delegates joined In the various dem
onstrations. -
Wednesday night the CITY was IL
Illuminated from center to circumfer-
ence and four miles Of marching
Democrats testified to their devotion
to the party cause. Down the city's
thoroughfares marched an almost In
terminable column of men, bearing
Bryan Banners, ringing liberty bells,
burning red, white and blue lights.
and In every picturesque way empha
sizing their devotion to the cause OF
which Mr.. Bryan is the foremost ex-
emplar TO-DAY.
But if the first day of the conven.
ton was marked by enthusiasm il
remained for Thursday to furnish
the climax. Mr.. Bryan was expect
ed and the waiting thousands were
In force to greet him.
Bryap's appearance brought al
ovation which very much resembled
that given him when nominated al
Kansas city. Handkerchiefs flut.
tered, flags waived, men stood on
chairs and shouted themselves hoarst
and cheer after cheer went up. Hats
were thrown in the air. 1t seemed
as if the tumult could The stilled.
The delegates to the Democratic
Clubs and the visitors were deter.
mined to give full vent to their en-
thusiasm.
The convention was one that India
napolis is likely to relnemb,.. While
the convention hall was filled at ev-
cry session and brilliant orators were
discussing campaign issues the streets
were filed with people. There were
bands of music and impromptu pa
rades to be Hitnessed at all hours. Ii
was the sort of enthusiasm that is Sc
real and spontaneous that it cannot
be discounted.
The deliberations of the convention
were entirely harmonious and the
routine business was conducted with
dispatch. The resolutions followed
closely the democratic platform.
A special resolution expressing
sympathy with the striking anthra-
cite miners of Pennsylvania went
through with a rush and a hearty
round of applause.
Tho present officers of the associa-
tion-President, w. r. Hearst; sec
rotary. Marcus DAILY, and secretary,
Max Ihmsen-were reelected with
ont opposition.

DIRTY PERSONAL ATTACKS UPON
Mr.. SIMMONS.

We have said very little about the
SenatorShip because we deem it I'M
wise to call the attention of the peo-
pie to this matter instead OF working
against the Radical party, and we
thought so well of all the candidates
that, while we looked upon Simmons
as the logical successor of Butler, we
did not want to make warfare upon
either of the others. But our estima-
ton OF MIR. Carr has been very much
lowered by the contemplate and
mean methods he and his friends
have employed to further his inter-
ests. The Morganton Herald last
week came to us with supplement
that is dirty personal attack upon
MIR. Simmons. Cars friends make a
great ado about Senator Eance's OBJ
position to Simmons when he was ap-
pointed Collector of the Eastern dis
trict. Senator Vance was great
man, but he was subject to all the in
hrmltles common to US all. He made
mistakes. We have not forgotten
that at the very time he was fighting
Simmons he was moving heaven and
earth to have the contemplate HI
Gudger appointed to the same posi-
ton in the Western district. If Carr
and his supporters had been decent
about their canvass Vance's name
would never have been dragged into
this matter.-Lenoir Topic.

REASONS WHY SIMMONS SHOULD
BE SENATOR.

The Shelby Star in discussing the
Senatorial matter pays brief but
worthy tribute to each Of the candi-
dates and then gives the following
reasons for supporting Mr.. Simmons:
1st. Because he is the ablest man.
An able lawyer. courageous states
man and astute politician will be
needed in the Senate to defend our
amendment from the attacks of its
enemies. and this we have in Chair
man Simmons.
End. Because he has been SANDER
ed. abused and maligned from one
end OF the State to the other bv the
Radical gang on account Of his az
gressive and successful campaign
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. which we endorse
absolutely, whenever conditions de-
mand it as in the last two elections.
TO accept the fruits of these vic
tories and refuse to bestow an honor
upon the general who led the fight
would amount to reputation and
would be unworthy of the great Dem
ocratic party of North Carolina.
3rd. Because common gratitude
demands that the brilliant services
rendered by Chairman Simmons
should be recognized and rewarded,
and to elect him to the Senate is as
little as the people could do for him
and feel satisfied.
Numberless other reasons could be
advanced, but our readers can reason
the maeter for themselves and reach
their own conclusions, but the Star is
strongly in favor of Simmons.

ton to our supplement this week. In
spirit and character Of its contents it
is quite unlike some that have been
circulated in certain papers against
Chairman Simmons-articles that for
bitterness and vindictiveness could
not have been excelled if they had
been directed against common horse
thief or highwayman. Certainly moth
inc worse could have been instigated
against the direst political enemy
and all on ''they say" testimony. Oh,

That's all fudge. Might as we'll
say the newspapers, the preachers,
the doctors, the railroads, the me-
chanics, the la borers-every other in
terest, in fact, will DO without repre-
sentation because one Of them does
not sit in the Senate. Who ever is
elected, If he be a man of ability, an
honest man and a true patriot. he
will represent the whole people what
ever his occupation or profession in
private life may be.
Now they are actually finding fault
with Mr.. Simmons because he is
making speeches in the campaign
appealing to his hearers to support
BRYAN and Stevenson and the Demo
cratic Congressman. And the States
Vile Lnqdmurk goes so far as to say
that Mr. Simmons never went out
among the people and spoke before
when he was chairman. We well
know that he made the opening speech
of the campaign in Vance county
previous to the August election. and
that he spoke in a number Of places
before and after his appointment
here Nor was that the first and
only campaign in which he made
speeches while he was chairman.
TIE Mrrwanton Hcraid insists that
Mr.. Simmons ought TO have declined
to serve "a Chairman-tO direct the
campaign in North Carolina-in view
of his candidacy for the United States
Senate In the opinion of the Hernia
the election of Gen. Carr is the para
mount issue evidently. and not the
c,rrving Of the State for BRYAN and
the Democratic Congressman. AS far
as Mr.. Simmons personally is con-
cerned it would have been better for
his interests had ne done So. for if he
had gone before the people as Gen.
