Ed. JOURNAL:
While in Potosi the other day
attending the Republican convention
l happened to meet an old acquain-
tance who seems to have a lively
Office hornet under his hat. l
don't know just what he is after in
the way of Office, but there is one
thing that he is after, and that is to
induce Republicans to split their
tickets when voting for county
officers. This proposition may be
taken in its proper light, that of
selfseeking at the expense Of
others. The Republicans of this
county cannot afford to entertain
for moment any such PROPOSE
tions. When a candidate is once
the nominee of the party be is en-
titled to its whole support. Let
all traders be closely watched.
So far Us l individually am con-
cerned, should a Democratic can
didate for county Office, be it ever
so small a one, imagine that be
could influence my vote in bis
favor l would have only one reply
for him, that my political prlnci-
pies will be applied straight down
the ticket. Some of my best
friends are Democrats, but l

cannot and will not cross the poll
tical fence to help any of them.
While passing along the street,
so l am Informed, l was pointed
out by certain Democrats who
knew me, as goIdbug. Thanks,
l consider it quite an honor to be
designated Il goldbug, and sincerely
thank God that he gave me sense
enough to be goldbug and grit
enough to rise above party preju-
dice and declare my convictions
when it comes to a showdown.
1t is putting it very mild to call me
a golslbug, better call ME a sound
Republican, and it was the Demo-
cratic folly Of free coinage that
made me one. The policy Of OBJ
struction pursued by the Demo-
Gratis in connection with the
questions arising from the Spanish
American war has only deepencd
my disgust for the party. Now,

There is no longer any doubt
that the Democrats of the 18th
Congressional District are tired of
Congressman Robb and are anxious
to turn him down. Robb is man
of mediocre ability and has been
losing ground with the voters the
district since he was first elected in
1896. MIR. Robb, however, pro-
poses to hold on and by turning the
primary election trick has the best
chance for the nomination against
the six or seven candidates in the
field against him. In the situation
which bids fair to develop may lie
the opportunity Of the Republicans
to carry the district if they will
only improve it by putting up the
right kind of Il man for Congress.
So fur only two men have been
mentioned in connection with the
Republican nomination, John H.
Reppy, of Jefferson County, and
Prof. w. H. Lynch, of Texas
County. The former made the
race against Robb two years ago
and was defeated by nearly $500
plurality. Prof. Lynch is a new
man to us, but he see to stand we'll
in his end of the district.

The people of Missouri have
been taxed millions of dollars for
the mere luxury of maintaining a
Bourbon government in the state.
Some men vote to keep the party
in power regardless of what the
cost is. They freely fork over
their taxes year after year and
count the money we'll lost as long
as their partisan feelings are tick
led with the sensations they
receive by seeing the Offices filed
by Democrats. Others have voted
for the Bourbon party only be-
cause they had faith in its honesty
in dealing with the taxpayers.
The latter class has for some time
been growing suspicious that they
are paying over good money in
taxes only to have it poured through
a knot hole in the states strong
box into the pockets of the ring
sters on whose honesty they have
relied. These Democratic voters
hold the club of retribution over
the heads of the Bourbon gang at
the state capital, ready to let it
descend as soon as their suspicious
of official corruption become con-
victions. 1t is time the club should
fall and fall hard. When a party
becomes imbued with the idea that q
long lease of power gives license to
fleece the taxpayers the rascals
should be turned out.

the political fence; they are loud,
of course, but clamor is but a true
Democratic characteristic. The
destinies of the republic are as safe
in the hands of the Republican
party today as they were when the
Democrats vociferously charged
President Lincoln with attempting
to bring the United States under
an ''imperial'' government at the
close of the civil war. Sensible
men, even among the Democrats,
arc not losing any sleep over the
fear that they arc likely to suffer an
abridgment of their liberties as
Che result of the Republican party's
policy in governing our new pos
sessions. The trouble with our
Democratic friends is that what
they undertake to right they always
adopt the wrong way of doing it.
Take the situation in the Philip
pines for instance. Everything
our government has done there to
establish peace and tranquility
among the people has been nega-
tived by the Bryanite party at
home. The Filipinos are encour-
ed to hold out and keep on killing
our soldiers until the Democrats
come into power, then they, the
Democrats, would arrange for the
proper government of the islands.
And so with Porto Rico. The
people of that island needed gov
erning laws and a Republican con-
gress supplied them, but the Dem
ocrats have negatived those laws
and condemned them before they
became effective. Instead of all
thlS OppOSltlOn ana obstruction the
Democratic party would now stand
higher in the regard of the Amer
can people had it stood passive in
regard to the policy of this govern
ment in managing our insular pcs
sessions until it was demonstrated
by practical effect that the policy
was wrong. To anyone who has
studied the situation it is clear that
Democratic solicitude for the well
fare of the Porto Rican and Fiji
pino is hypocritieal; it extends 40
farther than it affects Democratic
partisan interests.

A Refreshing Subject.

For an alI-round pleasing topic
in politics surplus in the treasury
stands particularly high. One OF
the Democratic worriments about
Republican administrations is the
tendency of cash to pile up in the
national strong box beyond daily
and urgent necessities. The DEM
ocratic idea of running Il govern
ment is to be chased by a deficit.
If surplus is turned over to them
they soon manage to get rid of it
and return to their normal condi
ton Of civic comfort, which is to
have a balance on the wrong side.
Readers of Democratic newspapers
will notice in their columns an in
creasing sense of uneasiness about
the surplus. A few months ago
they estimated that there would be
in the year 1900 a deficit of from
$50, 900, 900 to $40, 100000. Some
of them said the Philippines
would cost anywhere from $685.
100000 to $25O,OOO,OOO a year.
But last most month there was a
surplus for the thirty-one days OF
over S16,O0O,OOO. So that good
old theme, the surplus, cohfessedly
a feature of Republican times, is
brought ont to head the list of
Democratic grievances.
A Democratic paper in Balti
more remarks that ''on June 80
there willbea surplus ofS7O, 900, ,00C
in the treasury representing taxa
ton for which there is no neces.
sity." But this is not all, for tht
pcttentous prediction is made tina,
eff the present Congress does moi
modify the war revenue act, the
surplus will continue to increase,
and if the taxes remain in force an
other year, from June 80, 1900, to
June 80, 1901" the surplus viii
amount to 1852, 600, 900. A sur
plus, this saddened Democratic
prophet adds, twill tend to ex
travagance aud possibly promote
fraud and corruption" But why
can not the money be used to pa,

FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL
The BERTHE Democrats Will Present
Hon. Francis D. Winston.
Windsor Ledger.)

We are authorized to announce that
Hon. Francis ID. Winston will be a
candidate before the Democratic State
Convention for the nomination for the
office of Attorney General. Mr.. Win
ston's ambition is legal, not political.
And for this reason he will seek that
nomination.
Mr.. Winston was licensed to practice
law and admitted to the bar in 1891.
He was for two years Clerk of the Su-
perior Court of his county. He enjoys
very extensive practice. He is u
strong advocate and a well-rounded law
yer. The largest business interests of
our county pass under his professional
inspection. He is eminently fitted for
the office of Attorney General. His
professional attainments fit him for the
office and he has the intelligence, abilit;
and character to represent North Caro-
lima anywhere i'll her legal troubles.
Mr.. Winston is an ideal citizen-pro-
gressive, enterprising and charitable.
: He favors the public schools and takes
interest in education generally. He is
trustee of the University.
He is well known an Masonic circles
and has held prominent Grand Lodge
appointments. AT present he is chair

man of the Oxford Orphan Asylum
committee. He is devoted to that great
philanthropy.
Mr.. Winston is in constant demand
as a speaker. His addresses on edu-
cation at Masonic meetings and COM
mencements are marvelS of freshness
and power.
But his best work is as a political
speaker and organizer. For the past
ten years he has rendered the Demo
cratic party very valuable service. In
every campaign within that period he
was constantly on the stump. He has
few superiors as a pubic speaker. He
is well posted, alert, witty and at times
eloquent He has no superior as an
organizer. He believes in having your
hand on every man whose vote you
want. In the late campaign he render
ed valuable service in that direction.
The Government Unions" spoke in
thunder tones on electiOns day. The Op-
position sought in every way possible to
destroy the force of his energy and
work.
At this time Mr.. Winston is specially
fitted for this high office.
He introduced the pending Suffrage
Amendment in the Legislature. For
some months before he gave the sub
ject much thought. comparing the laws
and constitutions of all the States. We
doubt if there is a lawyer i'll the State
better fited to defend he Amendment.
That it will be assailed in the courts
none can deny. With him to defend it
we will be sure that the collected opinions
of the ages and the best thought of all
the writer's will be brought III its sup
port.
Mr. Winston is not putting his candi-
dacy on the ground that the party owes
it to him. His political services are
rendered from the standpoint Of good
citizen-not That of an office-seeker. II
nominated for Attorney General he will
add strength to the ticket. If not nonli-
mated he viii add votes to the ticket
by his superb support of the principles
for which the ticket will stand. No
matter what is the outcome of his can
didacy, he will always find in BERTHE
county, where he was born and has lived
forty-two years, first class citizenship
that is proud of him, that feels grateful
TO him for his unsellish labors in the
past, that will delight to honor him in
the future
