UNITED DEMOCRACY

The fact of the business is that
the big Democrats OF the nation are
wearing smiles as big as a crack in
frozen liver and are powerfully
"hold up" about the situation in
general. They feel that the situa-
ton is clarifying itself so far as the
presidential question is concerned.
From the action OF the different
States all over the country in send
ing uninstructed delegations to the
National Convention, they feel that
the purpose of the Democracy this
year is to get together. 1t looks
like the wstchword is and will be at
the convention to meet in the city
of St. Louis on July 6, next, get to-
gether, take counsel, get the best
man and a man who can and will
win, put out a PLATFORM that the
people at large will endorse and
then all go out aud fight like tigers
until victory comes to the party Of
the people and rebukes the party Of
sPoliation, Of special privilege, Of
combines. of trusts, of treasury
looter and postoffice grafters. II
no longer now is the question Of
any single individual. 1t is the
question Of the man who can I'LL the
public eye, in the estimation OF the
delegated Democracy in convention
assembled, and who can compel the
Democratic hosts to get red in the
face in support Of him. They feel
that the people not only are sore
at but reglIy afraid OF the political
flour flush" and "fakir7 now in the
White House and ouly await the
opportunity to vote him out and
place therein some man who will
execute the laws Of the country and
not attempt TO usurp the preroga
tiyes Of the legislative branch Of
government. II is the consensus Of
opinion here that such a man will
be nominated at 81. Louis and will
be elected.

Money 10 do 10 With

""'J W W" - WIN
The political gossip~ of the nation
are just now discussing the action
OF the Presiden, in demanding that
Secretary George II. CourteIyou, of
the Commerce and Labor Depart
mcnt, be made the Chairman of the
Republican National Committee. In
the eyes OF the politicalI, wise, this
move means nothing less than that
the President intends to- run his own
campaign in his own way, for sure
ly, Mr.. Cortelyou, while he is per
sonally one OF the incest of fellows,
has had no experience whatever in
the management of campaigns. He
has been and now is nothing more
than a clerk at the head of bureau
and all h political experience has
been confined TO just such work.
While Rooseyelt's work in national
campaign has been more extensive,
yet he has about as much idea of
conducting campaign as a hog has
about navigating a ship. Together
they will make a sorry mess, and
1t is an open secret that among tn e
leaders of the Republican party they
are not breaking their tear wells
over the thing and do not give
continental how badly Roose Welt is
defeated. The truth of the matter,
however, is that the President was
perfectly satisfied that he had all of
the old fat-frying Republicans plac-
ed IN corner and knocked out to
finish so far as the campaign fund is
concerned, because Carnegie had
agreed to put up million dollars
and he had further feathered his
nest in the Panama canal deal to the
extent of several more millions for
the campaign fund, which gave him
all he really needed, or at least
thinks he might need, and he there
fore became very cocky. He now
proposes to run things as he pIeases
and will refuse to take the dying
suggestion of that prince of practic.
al politicians Matthew Stanley QUAY
that the selection of Cortelyou for
chairman of the Republican Nation
al Committee was an eggreeious
bluDder. He intends to run things
his own way by placing this new and
unfedged politician at the head of
things, thinking thereby to fool the
people into believing that he cares
nothing at all for the campaign con
tributions that could be garnered by
the old timers in the game of poll.
tics, that he is going to run ihings
on high plane aud not going to
have a money campaign. The truth
is that he has all the money
he needs from the Panama
canal dea and from Carnagie and
by placing CorteIyou in command,
apparently, he will conduct his own

OF the First Presbyterian church of
Asheville, appears to hold to the old

the Asheville Citizen, DR.. Campbell

The Virginia legislature has enact
ed law allowing women who are the
victims of felonious assault to give
testimony in private. That's a good
law. A modest woman has an mex
pressible horror of going into a court
room packed with a curious crowd of
every rank, and telling in detail of
the wrongs done her by the brute on
trial. Many negro has been lynched
just because the outraged woman's
people would not submit to the
humiliation Of having her tell the
