BRYAN AND CLEVELAND
Atlanta Constitution

Atlanta Constitution.
The first premise of the Democratic
campaign for 1904 must be the absolute
unayailablity Of both Cleveland md
Bryan. They have served their oppor-
tunities and the good or i'll of their nc
tivities have been charged upon the party
ledger to the account of profit and loss
Their accounts as candidates for the presi-
dency are closed and balanced.
Their great possibilities for usefulness
in the party, however, are not exhausted.
Mr.. Bryan still retains a strong hold upon
the confidence and respect of the Demo-
cratic masses. Those who voted for him
have no disposition to whine over the re-
suits or say they are sorry they followed
him as the party's leader With those
men he can be the commander of the
Tenth Legion OF the Democracy and lead
them within the party with a fresh en-
thusiasm for vital issues and a national
triumph Mr. Cleveland has the cordial,
personal and political devotion of enough
Democrats to make his voice powerful,
either to induce victory or produce defeat
Therefore, If both these eminent men
will turn resolutely from the divisions of
the past and cooperate to secure unified
and potential party, they will crown their
loyalty with later and better laurels than
they have ever won and contribute effec-
tually to the redemption of Ine nation
from the control of the disloyal, imperial
stic and degenerated Republican party

POOR COMFORTS FOR INDEPENDENTS
Asheville Citizen.

The Charlotte Observer, ever quick to
encourage independentism on the part OF
Democrats, processes to find much salts
faction in contemplating the result Of the
recent election in Asheyille. 1t says:
I'm Asheville, the Anti-Saloon League
had out a ticket composed OF Democrats
and headed by an ex-judge of the Superior
court, against the ticket OF the Demo
cratic organization, and it polled heavy
vote, being defeated by about 800.
One of the troubles with this COB Of
consolation is that it doesn't exactly state
the facts. The Anti-Saloon League tick
ct was only partially composed of Demo
Gratis. 1t was defeated by a majority
nearer 500 than 300, the lowest being All
and the highest 49S.
AS the city has several times gone anti
Democratic in municipal contests, and as
Asheville's Democratic majorities for Cor
gressmen and members of the Legislature
in the last election were from only 234 to
412, we fail to see where the Observer can
find much to rejoice over in the result OF
the recent election, viewed from an indie
pendent standpoint. At any rate the in
dependent voter on the spot has put quite
a different construction on the returns.

Life insurance grows more rapidly than
anything else. The gross assets OF the
large life insurance companies reached at
the close of the year the enormous figure
OF 50 ,O62, 43O, SO4, an increase during the
year of 1892 ,206, 24O. Their gross income
was $488, 736, 272, an increase of $50, 500, Sc?
The disbursements for the year were $312,-
931, 555, an increase of 1926, $50, $40 compared
with the preceding year, most of the dis
bursements, of course representing the
sums of money paid for insurance claims.
Four hundred and ninety-fve thousand
seven hundred and twenty-nine policies,
standing for increased insurance of 1851
$40, SAT, were issued during the year

OF course there is now a rumor abroad
that the blockade stills have increased 50
per cent since the passage Of the Watts
bill The Watts bill has not become OPP
erative yet and these ignoramuses ought
to hold their tongues until then. But even
if the prophecy were fulflled we would
still be glad the law has passed, for one
government still is more to be dreaded
than a half dozen running in defiance OF
