NEW YORK FOR BRYAN.

The Republican Watchman,
published at Greenport. l.. I. N.
Y, where The TINES editor
spent his early school days,
came out last week with four
teen pages of red.hct Bryan
matter. The Watchman was
established in 1926 but since the
Democratic party has been in
existence. it has always sup
ported the standard of Democ,
racy. The Democratic party
has no truer, more loyal and
jealous supporter in the Union
than the Republican Watchman.
It SAYS. x
Every man who ever had in his soul
spark of genuine Democracy ard has
not allowed it to be covered up with
the crust of mammon worship, will hnd
this report inspirational and renewing.
He will rise from its perusal with a
larger courage for the future, hrmer
faith in manhood, and brighter light
in his political sky. Mr.. Bryan, with
some defects of judgment and dlscrre-
tion, typefes in large measure the
best ideals which the everyday Demo
crat, earns an honest livelihood by
the sweat of his honest labor. can rea-
sonably hope to find embodied in any
Candidate for this Office likely to ever
come before him. He will receive the
heartfelt support of the great mass OF
voters who call themselves Democrats,
reinforced by an army of other voters
who believe in and desire the things
for which he stands. We confidently
believe he will carry the State OF New
York aud be elected President.

3. Martin, presuming to be a can

standing a civil service examina-

it's instructive editorial space in
piling up cumulative evidence
that Martin is hasty of speech,
or reckless with truth, and that
he has no conception of the

behind the scoundrels, that the
chief clerk of the cotton statl-
cial bureau, together with others
are fugitives from justice, and
the United States government IS
making every effort to give an
honest report, not only OF the
cotton produced: but the amount
of the manufactured product
in this and other countries,
thereby being just to producer
and consumer alike. Smith we
are assured does not deal in cot.
ton futures, nor has he since the
formation of the cotton assocla
ton. It was at his own request
and upon his own insistence, the
executive committee of the asso
citation investigated this report
and they found the charge
groundless. The report origl
mated we are informed in Sum
ter where Smith has enemies be
cause of his activity in the cot
ton purchasing market and be
cause his election may interfere
with the ambitions of certain
politicians.

WHITE SUPREMACY IS SOUTHERN
DEMOCRACY.

The statement given out oy
Bishop Walters, Of the A. M. Il:
Church, relating to an alleged
promise of concessions TO
negroes, is not confirmed by Col.
Bryan, but as the issue has been
raised. amounting to a question
of veracity between the nominee
of the Democratic party, and the
head of the African Methodist
Church, it does strike US, especl-
ally in view of certain condl-
tions which have arisen in at
least three Southern States,
that Candidate Bryan should
come out with statement which
cannot be misunderstood nor
misconstrued. If as alleged by
this colored Bishop, there has
been promised interference with
negro suffrage conditions in the
South, or a promise to appoint
negroes to Office, whether it be
iudgeships or postoffices, 1t mat
ters not; or if there has been a
promise to reinstate the negro
soldiers dismissed from the
service for the outrage at
Brownsville, it will materially
effect conditions throughout the
South. To simply say report
not true" will not suffice. because
report not true" may mean that
there is something in the state,
ment of the Bishop, but not all
of il is correct. But to avoid a
misunderstanding, and doubts
lin the minds of the white voters
of the South who are pledged
to support Bryan. there ought
to be a published statement over
Col. Bryan's signature setting
forth what did, if anything at all,
transpire on the occasion of the
alleged visit Of Bishop Walters.
It is our opinion if this matter
is not satisfactorily settled there
is cause to believe the possibility
of Taft doing what his lieuten-
ants say they will do-break the
solid South. Georgia is not as
safe for the Democracy as South
Carolina by any means. Ii Bryan
made the promises Walters
claims, Virginia ard North Car.
olina may also be classed in the
doubtful column.

SMITH THE MAN.

The Gaffney Ledger of 18th
speaking of the senatorial meet
ing at that place says ':Some OF
the speakers showed a clear,
wide knowledge Of national
questions and discussed them
with force and intelligence which
revealed broad and liberal view
of the situation. while others
touching these vital issues only
lightly endeavored to work upon
the feelings and prejudice OF the
audience. This latter is dema.

reprehensible practice is fit to
