new YORK FOR BRYAN.

The statements of National
Democratic Chairman Norman
E. Mack, and w. j. Corners,
chairman of the New York State
democratic executive committee,
concerning political conditions in
the Empire State, have already
been published in these columns.
Both of these well-informed lea
ders expressed the candid opin-
ion that Bryan and Kern would
carry the state and their views
are concurred in by Charles F.
Murphy, leader of Tammany
Hall, who recently gave out an
interview in which he declared
himself of the opinion that the
democracy is going to win this
year" Of Mr.. Bryan the Tam
many chieftain said;
"Mr. Bryan is much stronger
in the State than he was in 1885,
or 1900. Why? / do not exact.
ly know yet, but the fact remains
that there is a variety of evidence
on which to base belief in his in
creased popularity.
""One reason, / think, lies ir
dissatisfaction with Roosevelt and
Rooseveltian policies-too much
autocratic rule and swinging OF
big stick. A great many men
who sided with the Republican
party in the past will not do sc
this year. It means something
when men like Judge Morgan j.
O'Brien and Delaney Nicoll who
opposed. Bryan in the past are
now going to vote for him."

was asked.
Yes, I think his name will be
of material assistance this year.
We endorse the ticket and plat.
form heartily, and shall go right
to work for it."

The race riot which cursed
Springfield, ILL.,, for several days
the past week was fearful. And
it happened in the north, too.
Think of that. The negro is ac-
corded more protection in Dixie
Land, after all, but he does not
appreciate it. When a member
of that race commits the crime
attributed to the wretch who has
caused all the trouble in Spring
field he is promptly lynched and
there the matter ends. Not so
up in Illinois, where innocent
colored people were shot down
like dogs. because one member of
the race had committed a das-
tardly crime. The conduct of
rioters in Springfield is a dis
grace to civilization and that city
is due this enlightened country
an apology.

Even republicans want to hear
both sides of political issues dis
cussed and put the seal of dis
approval upon towards and bush
whackers. A case in point. In
1904 Spencer Blackburn was
elected to congress from the
eighth district, after having made
a joint canvass with his demo
cratic opponent. by a majority of
345. Two years later his COM
mittee declined to permit a joint
discussion between Blackburn
and the democratic candidate.
Result: The democrat was elect
ed by over 1900 majority. Just
what is going to happen in the
tenth district in November 1908.
John Grant is too cowardly to
meet Congressman Crawford and
his own party will repudiate him
for it.

Some weeks AGO Nh, Br,

Some weeks ago Mr.. Bryan
announced that he would give
al money received b y t h e
Commoner, from that time until
the November election, over and
above the actual running expen-
ses, to the treasurer of the
National Democratic Executive
Committee. Up to August 18, the
amount donated was SIS, 600. 05,
not including any personal con-
tribution by MI. Bryan himself.
Pretty good for a single weekly
paper in so short awhile. A good
way to make a small contribution
would be to subscribe for the
Commoner. The Hustler will
take pleasure in forwarding your
name and the subscription price.
The paper is well worth the
money. =

There are many thousands of
looms and spindles now idle in
North Carolina and other south
ern states and hundreds of people
walking the streets of the mill
villages without any means of
support. All this has come about
during the administration of a
republican president, hence that
party must account to the people
for permitting such a condition
to exist. Radical spell binders
Cd have been charging demo-
Gratis for the panic which came
upon the country during Cleve-
lands second administration ever
since it happened and now

happen this year, if democrats

In his annual address to the
National Editorial Association at
ST. Paul, Mimi, recently Presi-
dent H. B. Warner, who is editor
of the Lexington On. c. Dis
patch, declared that in spite of
frequent charges Of corruption
against the press, it was the
newspaper that first cried stop
thief" and is chiefly responsible
for the awakening of the public
conscience. President Warner
took the paper trust to task for
forcing it's product upon news
paper publishers at exorbitant
prices and referred to it as a
murderer and criminal. He urged
an active and strong organiza-
ton to secure the just demands
of the publishers, which should
seek to destroy the biting power
of the CONSCIOUSNESS paper trust.
Mr.: Warmers address was strong
and timely.

.UngT8tgfd to Nj. Russell.

1t is painful to note the defeat
of Squire john Russell, of Hoop
er's Creek, for the republican
nomination for Sheriff. The am
bition of his life has been to hold
that, or some other county office.
Listen, again, to what Mr.. Rus
sell himself stated to the public
in a letter addressed chairman
r. HI. Station under the date of
April 80, 1906, renouncing his
allegiance to the democratic par
ty:
II have been three times the
Democratic candidate for sheriff
of my county and was the nomi-
nee of the party for that Office at
the last election and always ran
with and ahead of the ticket.
When / was a candidate for sher-
iff this time the township was
about forty majority Republican
and | carried it in that election
by seventy majority"
81 was the nominee of the
Democratic party for treasurer
at the time that Office was abOl-
ished by the special session of
Legislature in 1900. l have six
times been appointed by Demo
cratic Legislatures to the posi-
ton of justice of the peace in M
township. In fact / have never
asked a Democratic convention
in Henderson County for any
thing l did not get. | am proud
lean say this & would not mention
it here were it not for showing
to you that I am not a disappoint-
ed, or disgruntled Democrat"
In this letter Mr.. Russell en-
phasized the suggestion that he
did not join the radicals in the
hope of getting Office. Yet. in
less than two years, ne
asks his new allies to nominate
him for the position to which, he
says, the Democrats tried thee
times to elect him. But a
deaf ear has been turned to linn
and he can now mediate upon
the truthfulness of the adage:
Hope deferred maketh the
heart sick, Or words to this
effect. He worked manfully fcl
the ring candidates at the last
election and made some inroads
in the ranks of democracy at his
precinct. But, unlike Tony
Rhodes, he seems to have been
born under an ''unlucky star"
TONY" walked right into office
soon after he quit the Democrats,
for that purpose, and his good
fortune created a longing in the
breast of Mr.. Russell which he
feared his old friends could not
appease. And now insult is ad-
ded to injury.
Blue Ridge township gets the
lions share of the candidates this
time. Two years ago the major
ity out there was cut in twain
and the bosses became alarmed.
Hooper's Creek ''cuts no ice" at
all. when the Ridge is involved,
for therein lies the republican
majority in Henderson county.
Blackwell for sheriff and King
for register of deeds, is expected
to bring the Ridge back to it's ole
moorings," and John Russell
must wait. He is now fifty-five
and can live on ring promises
awhile longer. If Tony should
happen to break into the Legis-
lature maybe he can get John
