pity our governor CANNOT make two
or more speeches at different places
at the same time" II he had that gift
he might cause Senator Overman
some uneasiness ABOUT the latter S
prospect of succeeding himself But
as Mr.. Glenn can speak at only one
place at a time and as most Of his
speeches are made beyond the borders
of the state to audiences whose msm-
bers have no vote in the election OF
North Carolina legislators we Go not
see that Mr.. Overman has any reason
to be uneasy. Mr. Glenn seems to
have a fondness for rushing to the
national capital-for what purpose we
do not know-but we do not see how
those frequent visits tC that city can
be supposed to aid him in his senator
ial aspirations; in fact, it is only pos
sible that they might turn out in the
future to lessen his chances Tor po-
litical promotion. Much depends on

BRYAN AND THE PRESlDENCW

1t is generally understood that Mr..
Bryan is to be the nominee of the
democratic party for president But
just suppose the southern democrats
should rebel against this ''cut and
dried manner of forcing a candidate
upon them and should for once assert
their political manhood and insist on
the exercise of their rights in the
matter of choosing a candidate. What
would the result be? We do not be-
lieve Mr.. Bryan would be the nominee.
We do not believe the south wants
him as it's candidate. We do not be-
lieve the south would be satisfied with
him were the democrats of this section
given opportunity to express their
sentiments on the question of choice
of a candidate. The southern demo-
Gratis want as a candidate a man wno
is in accord with them in the lead
ing political issues of the day.
Mr. Bryan knows this and his early
annOuncement-fOr his statement that
he would accept the nomination was
nothing more than a declaration of
his candidacy-was for the sole pur-
pose of stemming the,tide in the south
in favor of the nomination of a south
ern man. The southern democracy
should not allow. itself to be hood
winked in any such way. 1t should
still stand on its rights and claim the
privilege of throwing its full strength

PROHIBITION, POLITICS AND
MORALS.

A state exchange remarks that "the
Politicians are now all prohibitionists
4, sometimes it looks as if all pro-
hiDitionists were politicians"
The first proposition is very near
correct, for mighty near all the poll
ticians think they know the way the
cat is going to Jump and they reason
il out that they will stand a better
chance for political preferment in the
future If they are already on the other
side of the fence to welcome the cat
when she makes the jump than they
would if they made a tardy leap in
the wake of the tail of the cat
The second proposition of the ex-
change quoted is not so one-sided. 1t
is true that there are some shrewi
politicians among the prohibitionists,
as there are Some on the other side,
and there are some who were early ar
rivals in the camp who are working
the racket for all it is worth politi
cally; but all are not OF this class
there are many sincere and earnes:
seekers after and workers for moral
refOrm-persons who deserve and
should be given full credit for sim
cerity and singleness of purpose in
their efforts to do what they believe
to he for the good OF all people i,
their community. LIZ these people could

bet wants TO be the standard bear
er of the party. Mr. Bryan is not the
only available candidate-admittinS
that he can be classed as available
the party has.
Are the democrats of the south to
blind1y vote for him as the partys
candidate just because he wishes for
the third time TO be the man to lead
the party to certain defeat. Judging
from .;Mr. Bryan's announcement or
his candidacy for the nomination It
does not make much difference to him
whether he is elected or defeated. All
he seems to want is the nomination
and the opportunity to, for the third
time, tour the country as the nominee
or one of the great political parties.
Mr.. Bryan has made a fortune out Oh
the two other candidates. and We SUP
nose he expects the third nomination
to add still more 20 his Dank dccouh'
The nomination is what he Is AFTER
The election is a secondary matter
In fact we reckon he would be better
off financially four years from the
time of the election were he defeated
than he would be had he to spend
those four years in the executive o.

It is a positive fact, surprising as II
NAV seem to many, that The News
and Observer quotes a saying of Mr
Cleveland and urges its adoption as
a MOTTO by the democrats. We did not
know before that the editor of that pa
per, since he gave up departmental
office at Washington under Mr.. Cleve-
land-fOr reasons that no one but
he and his chief know-ever had a
word to say in favor OF the man VINO
gave him the only federal office he
was ever fortunate enough to secure.
That paper actually quotes with eVi-
dent approval a sentinsat uttered by
Mr.. Cleveland in a few remarks made
to the supporters Of Mr.. Hill some
years ago. The News and Observer
must be getting ready TO play the part
as Sponsor to Mr.. Cleveland should
he be the democratic nominee for pres
ident instead of Mr.. Bryan. 1t looks
like that paper is preparing to hedge
if occasion requires.

eminent and state ownership OF

gram mention those among the others:
If it endorses Mr.. Bryan as the deni-

to cover up those it knows to be most
Objectionable to the people under the
broad cloak of ''and co on" That "and

it goes, but many will be apt to shy
at those "and so on principles which
may in time be considered to mean
anything that Mr.. Bryan and his
friends choose for them to mean. The
democrats don't want "and so on"

definitely what political principles the

make our standard bearer. The people
do not want anything SO indefinite un-

their political freedom and to blindly

the party than to believe that it WILL
ever reach that stage of political deg
relation We believe there are enough
true adherents Of the principles Of the

20 fall so low as to abandon all party
principles for the sake of promoting
any one man advancing his political
interests no matter how great states
