The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1900-08-30


meet ut Kansas City, il Was well
Known to every one 10 the Convsn-
I on and outside OF 1t that Mr.. Bryan
wanted . specific declaration for free

Hill, Croker, VI Loan. and all that
cotsrie we're agaiost aud opposed
TINS desire Of Mr. Bryan. They won
out aud succeeded Ia turning down
the wishes Of Mr.. Bryan, and they
did II with the help OF one COMMIT
taeman Daniels of North Carolina.
II Is ais reported that this same
man, with what influence and noise
he could make WAS very active IN
whip Jing around fson hotel to hotel
and posing the OF Mr..
Towne, add advocating the nomi na-
ton OF Mr.. s Stevenson, while IL is
generally understood that Mr.. By
an wanted Mr.. Towne nominated.
Now since this peculiar conduct oo
the part OF this man Daniels, II lie
noticeable that he has been tusy
III Del shining that he WAS the great
BIya An leader, and his true friend,
and that 1t was his duty to cry trait
or a. every body that did not come to
him for orders. 1t looks very much
like a case OF thief crying: 'stop
thietr'
In this connection 1t might also be
added tina, this fellow is one day de-
nounciug the PJpulists OF North Car
oliua, and declaring that Bryan dc M
ocrats do not want or need any of
their b. p 10 carry the State, while
the mex day he is crying that The
Populists don't want Bryan elected.
and will Do responsible for his feat
II he does not carry this State. We
do not care to comment upon this
sssinine cry except to observe that
Mr.. Bryan is much more popular in
North Carolina than either Mr.. Dam
iels or Mr.. Simmons, and that if Mr..
Bryan canno. carry the STATE by an
honest count Of the votes, that then
it will be much easier for Simmons
and Daniels, through their election
machinery, to count in the electoraI
vote for him, If they wanted to do il
than it was for them to steal the
State Offices for themselves by Atty
thousand majority on August TIT
2nd.
In short, under present conditions
unless Simmons and Daniels entered
into the cons piracy to turn tho State
over to Mckinley. 1t will not 60 fol
Mckinley, because it will be yer,
easy for them, regardless of how tn.
voters vote, to count up fifty thous

ton machinery. If they are into th'
deal, OF course they may stand to IT
aud let the State g fer Mckinley
or they may get greedy and want thu
