There are some good men in the
Republican party and that party
has nominated some of them for
various Offices. W. respect them
and their views, but we cannot
see where that party offers any,
thing better than what we have
and, therefore, cannot see any
good reason for a change at this
time. We believe in popular gov
eminent, we believe that the peo-
pie should rule and we believe the
Democratic nominees, from Bryan
down, have bean properly nomi-
mated, that the principles of the
party are for the best interests of
our people and therefore It's nom
inees should receive the votes of
all good people.

The matter of prohibition is set
tied. It was settled last May by
the good people of the county, by
members of both the Republican
aud Democratic parties. Some of
the strongest and most able advo-
Gates of prohibition were Repub-
licans. They did what their con-
sciences told them was right and
they deserve credit for it. We do
not believe that they will now
vote to undo what they did then.
Investigate a little before voting.

About 5000 voters participated
in ths Democratic primary. The
primary vas conducted fairly and
squarely toward every candidate
and the nominations were given to
those for whom the people voted.
This being the case there is no
excuse for a Democrat not to vote
the full ticket without a single
scratch.

We are making no appeal to our
Republican friends to vote the
Democratic ticket, for it is to be
expected that they will support
the nominees of their party. But
we do wish, for the last time prior
to the election, to urge upon every
Democrat in Rowan county the
fact that he should do his duty on
election day and vote for every
candidate on the Democratic tick
ct. We are interested in and de-

Bryan may not be elected. We
can never tell the result of an
election until the votes are count
ed. But there is one thing as Ger.
tain as taxes and that is MI.
Bryan has the Republicans badly
scared. Many of them are prob
ably saying to each other now:
"Cheer up old boy, the worst is
yet to come"

Attention is called to our illus

all good reading, consisting of un-

as information to the intelligent
voter. Facts are what the candid,
honest man wants, not gush, not
worthless promises, nor pretended

careful consideration, cast aside
prejudice, let reason govern our
conduct and vote for the best H.
terests of our nation, state and

j. Indications are to to effect that
the Democrats will carry New
York, Indiana and Ohio. This
seems most remarkable, but never
theless trus. If such things hap
pen, or part Of them, Bryan will
be our next president.

Every Democrat Is urged to take

W. are struck with the peculiar
reasoning Of a small farmer yester-
day who said that he could not
vote for Mr.. Bryan because he was
afraid that in doing so the condi-
tions of 1893 might be repeated,
and, at the same time, admitting
that considerable of panic was
now going about. If the big fnan-
ciers of the New England and the
Middle States are not afraid of
Mr.. Bryan's election, many OF
whom are supporting him cheer
fully, why should a small potato
raiser be putting up such a plea?

Bryan, business and benefcence.
