Democrats Scrambling for Office.
This Alabama disease of naming
men for Office before the other fellow
dies is catching. Here are two DEM
ocratic lawyers In Catawba county
(Self and Cline) formally presenting
in the News and Observer the claims
of Mr.. Mebane for appointment as SUI
perintendent of Public instruction,
provided, however. that Mr.. J. Y.
Joyner gets a job he is looking for
ward to in the future. And yet they
bleat like starved sheep, shivering in
fence corners, about Republican pie
hunters, when in truth the Republi-
can party stands alone in American
history as the one political organiza-
ton that has consistently held to
the practice of opening all but rep
resentative places to free COMPETE
tive examination and appointment.
Speaking for ourselves alone, the
civil service system is not to our
liking, and were the matter in our
personal keeping no Democrat should
eat Republican byesd /; but the law
says differently, and we bow to the
law and uphold it in good faith. well
knowing that, were our enemies in
power nationally, they would treat
US in Federal patronage as they now
do i'm State patronage.
But they are a measley crew to
talk about pie hunters-they the
most voracious political wolves that

The Democratic Handbook.

According to the democratic hand
book the expenditures of the State
government for the year 1905 ex-
ceeded the receipts by the sum of
|$53, 1880. This admission would
be surprising if it were not made to
bolster up and give color Of truth to
reckless statements as to facts in
other parts of the book. When the
voter examines his tax receipts of
1905, and compares it with the one
1898, he can get pretty clear idea
as to what so-called s1goo6 govern
ment' is costing him, and when the
handbook rings in the negro to arouse
his prejudice and warp his reason he
will refuse to be thus blinded. The
negro has accepted the changed con-
ditions without murmur or protest,
and it is ghoulish in Josephus Dan.

On the other hand, the RepuDll-
can speakers are having large audi
ences to hear them and in many in
stances the halls will not accommo-
date the crowds. This shows tina
voters are sick and tired Of broker

The following is clipped from Our
Home, an independent paper, pub.
lished at Nashville:
"We have not seen the Democratic
handbook this year, but a good
democratic friend informs US that it
starts off with the usual reference to
the reconstruction period and
dark days. of '68. This going
back half century to resurrect that
same old skeleton that has been ex-
hibited for 80 years is an insult to
the intelligence Of this Slate. If
the officers of the party can't do any
better than that, they ought to leave
off the expense Of printing the
Handbook Sensible and sane peo-
pie want to know what a party has
to offer now. They care nothing
about issues that have been dead
half a century,"
Our Home is right. The voters
care no longer about what happened
in 1868. They are more interested
in the good times we are now epjoy-
ing which was caused by Republican
prosperity.

LAWLESSNESS UNDER DEMO
CRATIC RULE.

The democratic papers and demo-
cratic speakers are continually con-
graduating the people upon the
"reign of law and order" in this
State under their rule. They are
saying this to keep the people from
believing that crimes are on the in
crease under their rule. During the
past ten day there have been eleven
homicides in this State, and this
does not include the number of
shooting scrapes, rObberies and vari.
Gus other crimes that have been
committed during the past ten days.
And the past ten days are not excep
tional for crimes under democratic
rule, for some weeks their crime
record is even worse. There has
never been as much lawlessness in
this State since Reconstru :tion days
as there is today under democratic
"good government"-with the ex-
ception of the lawlessness perpetra-
ted by democratic redshirts in 1895
and 1900 in the name Of democracy
They soWed the seeds of lawlessnes:
then and now they are reaping the
whirlwind, Notwithstanding they
are trying to shift the wind to some
one else. Thew are responsible auJ
they must bear the blame. The
leaders of the democratic machine
got their offices by means of such
laWlessness.
