SAYS IT IS UNTRUE.
Mr.. Simmons Makes Vigorous Denial
of Certain Charges.

EDITOR JOURNAL. Winston. y. {.
DEAR SIR:-Yours of Sept. 26th re-
ceived. The statement that oppos-
ed in the Raleigh State Convention
the endorsement of the Chicago plat
form is absolutely false. and has not
the slightest foundation. | neither
opposed it publicly or privately. The
truth is. that in 1892 at the CONGRESS
sional Convention of the 3rd District
held at Clinton. | was Chairman of
the Committee on Platform and Reso-
lutlons and was criticised by some
OF my Democratic friends in the State
because they thought few expressions
in the platform, which afterw Yards. to
4 large extent, were incorporated in
the National Platform Of 90. were too
extreme. and in 1896 made speech
in the State Convention endorsing
the principles which we then knew
would be adopted by the Democratic
party Of that year. | am an ardent
admirer and supporter of Mr.. BRYAN,
and will do more for his election than
those who are suggesting these
charges against me-
Yours very truly.
+. NJ. SIMMONS.

ABUSE OF SIMMONS.

One of the most convincing argu-
ments favoring Mr.. Simmons for
Senator is the hellish abuse heaped
upon him by the office-holding Re-
publicans and bought up Populists.
These classes have naught but
vituperatiOn for honest men, and
their criticism of Mr. Simmons is a
veritable mead Of praise Of which any
honest man should be proud. =

THE LATE DR.. HUNTER MCGUIRE

DR.. Hunter Mcclure is dead 1t is
hardly necessary to say who he is, for
his reputation as a physician and sur
geon and as soldier of the Confed-
eracy is known throughout the South
and almost as well in the North. while
even abroad he was not unknown. AS
successful medical practitioner no
man in the South was better known
He became famous as an instructor
and as 4 thinker and leader Of his fell
low men before he was thirty wears
old, and at the age of - was made
surgeonin-chief of Stonewall Jack
sons army. and later was chief sur
geon Of Ewell's corps and afterward
Of Early's army. He was the friend
and companion Of Jackson. and min
istered to him in his last hours. Ever
since the war he has been adding to
the reputation then achieved DR..
Mcclure was not merely eminent in
his profession, he was poSseSSor of
those qualities of command that made
him everywhere a leader of his fell
lows. He was a scholar and pub
licist as well. His sixtv-tive wears Of
life have been useful and full Of
achievement in his great profession.
His contributions to the standard
literature Of medicine and surgery
place him in the front rank of profes-
sional writers and will preserve his
name and fame. Danville register.

A DEMOCRAT WILL SUCCEED
BUTLER

Adverting to the Senatorial uues-
ton in North Carolina, the Newport
News (Va.) HraM says:
1t is assumed to be fore3one con-
cluSion that the Democrats will elec {
Il majority Of the Legislature and
thus be enabled to name the Senator
who on the 4th of March next will
succeed Butler.
For the information Of the usually
we'll infnrm"h HrrnM we will state
that the Democrats have already
elected Il majority Of the Legislature
by :, very large majority. Mem
ber> of the Legislature were voted for
at the August election. The Herald

al the time that the Constitutional
amcndment only was voted on in
