GOOD REPUBLICAN POLITICS.

Roosevelt is trying to make Neck
lenburg county more strongly demo-
cratic. He has a a negro appointed
as clerk in the p~ostoffice at Charlotte
and the republican leaders are as mad
as a wet parrot.-Greensboro Record.
This is good politics from a republican
viewpoint. 1t Is on the same order as
the appointment of Crum to h
Charleston collectorship. 1t is giving
prominence politically to the negro in
that section of the country in which
the republicans can expect to gain no
victories, no matter what course they
pursue. The appointment of a negro
to office in the south does not hurt
them in this section. for they have no
chance of victory here, whether they
ignore the negro or recognize him as
an equal of the white man. The APP
pointment of negroes to office in the
south does not CRATE upon the feelings
of the white people of the north. In
fact, it is rather pleasing to most Of
them and it is AXE by the negroes of
that section as an acknowledgement
of their race by the president. He
would not dare to make such an ap-
pointment in a northern state, and
really there is no use for him to do so,
for he can attain the same end-the
solidifying of the negro vote in those
northern states-by making such ap-
pointments at the south. By appoint
ing negroes to office at the south
the president demonstrates to the
negroes of the north his willingness
to put their race On an equal footing
with the white people and does not
offend any of the white people of the
solid republican north.

Here is another traitor in the camp.
nothe editor in North Carolina who
calls himself a democrat and actually
afhliates with that party dares to critI-
else the action of some Of it's members
and predicts that the party in the south
will now, that the negro supremacy
idea is eliminated, stand or fall on it's
merits. The Burlington Herald says:
A few more county conventions like
the one in Graham. Saturday, will force
US into the adoption of the legalized
primary. The advocates Of the good Old
way of holding mass conventions, where
all the democrats of the county come UP
to the court house to have a sort OF
Jubilee and picnic, will sooner or later
come to the realization that the elimi-
nation of the negro vote has changed
conditions and that the democratic
party in the south henceforth will stand
or fall on its merits.

His death Will cause his numerous
friends deep regret.
-Four men who were at work on the
inside of the stand pipe had a very
narrowing experience recently. They
had been ~scraping the inside OF the
stand pipe, preparatory to having it
painted. They were within ten feet of
the bottom and were at work on BAR
rels which fioated on the ten feet OF
water. They descended to their unde-
sirable position by means of a rope.
After they got there, they discovered
a flaw in the rope and were not willing
to try TO make the trip back up. They
worked on until night hoping that they
might get some n to notice them and
get another rope AT night a terrible
wind storm arose and the stand pipe
with such a small amour of water
reeled and rocked ack and forth. This
added to their uncomfortable position.
A father of one of the men went to
the scene with an axe and attempted
to cut into the iron structure. This
he could not do, but he attracted atten-
ton in the storm and some colored
people came and assisted him in OPEN
ing the nan hole, which let out the
water and the men on the inside
crawled out through the opening.

so delights to write about. Who them

6nuendo. We are surprised that a man
who is generally so outspoken on most
matters, whether writing religious edi-
torials for The News or non-religious
articles for The standard, should be
so bashful in this matter of naming

STAND BY PARKER,

A glance over the national political
field is sufficient to disclose a tendency
among our democratic friends to re-
vert again to that rudderless ana
charities condition which is destined
to leave them exposed to the activities
of a certain brand of theorists and
mischief makers. A few weeks ago
democratic leaders in all parts of the
country, representing all shades of
democratic thought, had eyes fixed
with a sense of satisfaction ana final
ity upon Judge Parker as the presi-
Dental candidate, but within the last
day or SO wore m from New York
and Washington. centerS of political
activity and intelligence, that the
boom of the New York jurist has fail
ed to strike a responsive chord in the
breast of the rank and file of the
party.-Asheville Gazette-News.
Since The Gazette-News published
the above, two states-Mississippi and
Administrative declared for Parker.
This adds thirty-eight to the number of
votes instructed for him. This does
not look like his cause is waning. On
tomorrow week we look for the demo-
cratic convention of this state to take
such action as will add tw~enty-four
more votes to the Parker list. Our
state convention may not instruct for
him. In fact, we thing it will hardly
do so; but we look to see such action
taken as will insure the New York
jurist the full vote of this state. We
believe that a large majority of the
democrats of this state are for him
and hat they by their convention will
instruct the states delegation to the
st. Louis convention to vote as a unit,
and that, SO voting. it will cast the
vote of the state for Judge Parker.
Both German and Hearst have some
small following in this state. but it is
not enough to amount to a division
of the sentiment of the delegation to
the national convention. even if the
unit rule should not be adopted by.
the state convention.
The safest thing for the democrats
to do is to stand by Judge Parker.

matter:

and other Canadian ports. This bust
ness-like proposition is extremely like

shown itself quick to appreciate COM

THE LOCALIZED PRIMARY.

The Messenger asks it's friends for
their congratulations. 1t has at last
struck a subject and laid down a prop
Htion which meets the approval Of The
News n Observer. Several days &
The Messenger published an editorial
advocating the legalized primary plan
for the nomination OF candidates. We
were sure that many OF the democratic
Papers Of state would agree to the
proposition. We had no idea, though,
that The News and Observer would
follow our lead in advocating this
measure. To our surprise it takes up
n matter in yesterdays Issue and
endorses the proposition. We p
now that The News and Observer has
declared for the legalized primary that
it will be endorsed by all those papers
in the state who take their cue from
that paper. We are rather surprised
hat The News and Observer did not
oppose this measure and declare it I'M
democratic because The Messenger ad-
vocated it before the powers h a be"
had declared for il. When we wrote
the article in favor of this plan OF
nominating candidates in the demo-
cratic party we expected this position
taken by The Messenger to be pointed
10 by some one in the party as another
fact evidencing an Inclination to KICK
out of party traces. We are glad to
find that in this We are in accord with
our esteemed friend, the editor of The
News and Observer. That paper says:
Some years age a Primary was order
ed by the state convention to deter
mine the party's choice for United
States senator. 1t was held without
the formalities n safeguards Of law,
1T was opposed by many good men. 1t
was new and crude ana its operations
in some sections served to make the
primary unpopular. But thoughtful
democrats are coming to see that
North Carolina, like most of the other
states where a suffrage amendment
has been adopted, must d the legal
lied primary to guarantee the fruits
of the purified suffrage. Every state
that has eliminated the negro vote has
found it necessary to adopt the legal
lied primary. The time is not far dis
tant when North Carolina must do the
same thing.

WHO WILL 1T BE?

What a relief to the public mind IL
will be when the state and national
conventions are both over. We will
then know who to hurrau for.-Winston
Sentinel.
Yes, this is an embarrassing time for
the man on the fence and he is rejoic-
ing that he a soon abandon his I'M
comfortable perch. By this time next
week the democratic convention will
have named the. party's candidate for
governor and the other state offices.
Who the leader of the ticket will be
no one can tell. The fight between the
two leading men is SO bitter that in
all probability neither of them will Sc
cure the nomination. 1t now looks as
if the following OF the one or the other
will finally join hands with h friends
of the other two candidates in the nom
ination Of some dark horse The
ayers of the campaign for these two
men each claim that their man is in
the lead and so far in the lead as to
insure him the victory, but we have
our doubts about the ability Of either
to secure the nomination. In the

dred and forty-four votes, making six
hundred and twenty-three necessary
to a choice. Neither of these two can
didates has any thing like that number
now pledged to him. For either Of
them to get this Number of votes he
must draw from the other leading can
didate or from n of the other two.
The friends of Davidson and Turner
will hardly desert them for the purpose
of aiding Stedman or Glenn in secur-
ing the nomination. 1t looks at this
time as if the plum Will fall to some
Person other than the Two who are
leading in the race. Whether it Will
be one Of the other two candidates or
some one whose name has not yet been
brought before the public can not be
predicted. The general opinion seems
to be that if a dark horse is successfully
run in race it will be ex-Lieutenant
Governor Doughton. The convention
would not go amiss in nominating any
n Of these five men. Any one of them
would make a good standard bearer
for the party and a good governor for
the state.
