down the man declared by h inveSti-
eating committee to DC elected govern
or? The purpose of violence on the part
Of the Taylor republican gang is seen
in their acts. There has been a talk
of calling on h president for help by
sending the United States army 20
help republicans in their game Of mis-
chief and revolution.
There car be no two opinions among
men of sense and character as to the
horror Of the Infamous, satanic assas-
~sination. Goebel is evidently a much
better man than the republican gang
and boiling democratic allies have tried
to make him. He has commanded the
respect and confidence of good people
all over his state. It is very signif-
can't that a great majority of demo-
cratic voters preferred him TO boiling
Brown or Republican Taylor.
Who is right in the matter of cleo
ton is h we may not determine.
The fact remains that the legislature
is with Goebel. Taylor, the republican,
has signified his purpose not TO issue
a certificate of election to brilliant and
true 10. Blackburn as United States
senator, although elected in all due
form and by a good majority. That
shows the animus and imperialism of
Taylor, VINO is disposed to ignore right
and justice n law in order TO shut
VI a democratic senator-eIect. The re-
publicans can be justly held responsible
for the assassination of Governor GOe-
bel, and they must share in the infamy,
however much they protest innocence
and ignorance. No one can say, but it
is not improbable that Taylor knew of
the proposed plot to kill the man who
stood in his way. The Legislature was
overruled and driven from the capitol
by armed men with their ready Win
chesters in hand, and the determina-
ton of Taylor to keep Senator Black
burn from his rightful seat show very
clearly and conclusively n name of
man Taylor is-a revolutionist of the
old Mexican type ready for wal or
usurpatiOn or outrage if such things
should be deemed necessary. While a
man may not be able to admire Goebel
it Will be difficult TO applaud the gang
of usurpers backed by an armed mob
and holding the capitol.
GoebeI is governor, and if he survives
he may assert his rights. In the mean
time trouble is brewing and Kentucky,
the bloody ground" is on the eve of
a conflict that may extend over the
state and involve a great many thou
sands. Let US have peace.

ans a republican factor in politics.
What has been said of Goebel by his
enemies has not been calculated ito ele-
waite him in the opinion of men beyond
the state. He is of northern birth, a
man of parts and brave, and he COM
manded the support of an overwhelm-
ing part of the democracy whose can
.didate he was for governor. Many of
the best people supported him. He is
hardly the outcast and devil and enc
my of free institutions that his enc
mics declare him 20 be. He is no real

REV. DIR. GRAMMER ON COLONEL
BRYAN.

1t IS amusing. Ever the Savannah
News. a very staunch gold organ. with
ne leanings 70 Organism. has an edi-
rorial headed, "Bryan's Popularity In
~creasing." l. begins it in this wise:
TT is evident from the size of the
crowds which gather to see Mr.. Bryan
and the applause with which his
speeches are received that he is a
great deal more popular in the east
h he was in 1896"
All along goldbug organs have been
swearing that silver was dead" and
Bryan was politically defunct. But
10, "a change has come over the spirit
Of their dream" Rev. DR.. Julius f.
GTammer is ar able, highly esteemed
Episcopal minister in Baltimore. He
has been long resident there. He has
been no supporter of Mr.. Bryan, and
we suppose, is a goldite and perhaps
voted for the kicking ticket in 1896.
But however that. may have been. he
is a fair a and truthful, and tells
things as he sees them. Writing to The
Baltimore American, an extreme re-
publican sheet shat goes the whole
hog" he tells of Colonel Bryan's re-
cent visit, what he saw and heard, and
how he was impressed. Mind you, Bal
timore is as rampant "a gold city as
Boston or Philadelphia is. Bryan is an
offence to those superior beings who de-
spise the cause of the people. Wen.
what did DR.. Grammer see and hear?
at him Toll hiC nu-n story Of ohcarI-a
ton in the goldbug city:
The public effort of Mr.. Bryan on
Saturday night was a remarkable event
in the history of the discussion Of the
issues now before the people. The au-
dience was phenomenal. The building
served as a grand type of the growth
of this fair city of OURS. The speaker
was, for personal appearance, the
handsomest man in the house, and a
magnificent man in the endowment Of
speech, of voice and of power TO move
a multitude. Never have we heard an
orator who more fully met all the an
~ticipations of a great audience. His
wit was sparkling, his satire pointed
and piercing. His dramatic power was
seen in his appeal TO the love Of the
individual citizen, as above the price
of money. His quotations of scriptures
were admirable and reverent, his allu-
siOnS to PLATE and the aviOu very
eloquent. What impressed ria partic-
ularly was his desire no. to prolong
the applause, by drawing the public
attention ITO one salient point after an
other. His speech "a futl of thought,
n one mauter after anO.he.- was ham
died with conSummate skill and aIab-
crate detail. He is a master of assem-
blieS. He is a master of he passions
He surpasses ali public speakers of
the country for will and emphasis, for
a and grace of delivery, and fcl
power to win their admiration for
eloquence and high sentimentality."

easur popular and we'll appreciated.
It a in a correct sense both kill and
make alive. There are over 100 demo-
cratic newspapers in North Carolina.
We do not know the exact number. 1t
may even reach 125. Let these unite
heartily and determinately for any
cause, for any redress of a wrong, for
any measure of relief, as is the pro-
posed suffrage amendment. and they
can do more to reach the mind and
arouse h interest n stir UP a patri-
otto ardor than any other instrument

tial because there is a particularly mag

voters who do not read can hear the
