The Fayetteville Observer has re-
Gently contained several editorials
exporting the trade and fusion ~.
rangement made betwera the So
called Bryan men and the gold and
monopoly Democrats in this state 10
1898, when at the same tim CO.
operation OF the gold and SILVER
forces 90 advised by Bryan and
Chairman Jones Was turned down bv
this same combination who captured
the Democratic state convention.
The Observer has shown that the
same ~hi'e s,iyer ms jority of twenty
thousand by which Bryan carried
the state IN 1896 could have beea OF
sxnlzed not only for the campaign
of 1898 but also for the cam paign of
1900, aud that q eAmpaigu ON silver
and financial reform and against
monopolies and trusts could have
been wAged without the word negro
ever beng used, and . clear whtle
msj ,rity secured IN both elections,
and that the result would have been
the triumph of principle and th-
triumph OF the people.
| The Fayetteville OBSERVER closes
another editorial on the same line in
its last issue with the following sen
t.nse: lit Mckinley should carry
n Jrth Carolina it will be dune by t. q
making of treac iery respectable oy
covering II with the cloak Of Demo
, crazy" This tells the whole story
L. is another point to confirm what
We have all along believed, namely :
l that Daniel, the d. mocratic Ma.
l tional Committeeman, and Summons
the Democratic State Chairman
. were into the deal to turn down
q Bryan and silver in 1898 and form a
o fusion with the gold and monopoly
element Of the state, and are there
o fore Responsible for the two out
# rageous and infamous campaigns
l. that We have had forced upon US
q 1t is another pointer to snow that i
n was q part of or at least rea. oos bl
result of the same j, al that M Kinle,
y should carry Nor n Car lima in tn
n Move mber election of this year.
One thing is certain, if Simmons
:, Daniels & Co., who have entir
= charge of the election m chinery o
the state, want the state to go TO
~ Bryan, they can carry it for him, n
matter how the people vote. Indeed
- if the maj ority should be against M,
Is Bryan, they could still carry tn
N state for him by stealing less vote
lie than they stole at the August elet
VS. ton, because Bryan is more populs
~ than Simmons and Daniels in Mort
nj Carolina.
tn Another point that it may b. we
!, to remember in this connection
that since the August election
Josephus Daniels, the Dsmocl at
nc national committee man has bee
ne looking for every opportunity to il
~ suit Populists and to give them =,
ge understand that their support of NJ
Ill Bryan IN the state is not needed I
o. desired That clearly means one
lie two things: either that Daniels ar
~ the Simmons machioe intead to Ii
,a the state go for NJ Kinley Or else thu
they intend to steal it for Bryan an
nI want the entire credit of carrying
h.. for him. In this latter event, it mt
All never have occurred to Simmou
Daniels. & Co., that Mr.. Bryan mi
be too big and too honest to recel,
stolen goods or to desire to dispen
patronage and favors upon men wi
10 betrayed him in 1898 and who in ii
''e August election gave the lie to all
III his fine ocsrine about the Declar
ds ton of Independence and The col
n. sent Of the governed, and who a
ne gailty of further crimes against FIR
,,t speech and Republican institution
nj and Democratic principles.
