KITCHIN ANDBR YAM.
A Splendid Tribute to These Standard
Bearers Of Democracy by
Hon. F. NJ. Simmons

Hon. +. NJ. Simmons, our senior
Senator, whose master hand guided
the hosts of Democracy in several Of its
most trying and most brilliantly sue
cessful battles is actively engaged in
the campaign, and his prepared
speech. which is decidedly one Of the
best contributions to the literature Of
the campaign, is being extensively cir
culdted by the State committees
His tributes to both kitchin and
Bryan are real gems:

12REPUBLICAN
HANDICAPS

John r. Marshall enumerates in
the New York World twelve handicaps
which the Republicans have to over
come in this election:
l. The resentment of the people to
HooSeNclts dictation of Taft's nominal
ton by Federal office holders
>. The disatfectiOn of the negro vote
all over the country
). The disaffection of union and I'M
organized labor.
4. Millions of men out of employ
ment.
.. Hard times following panic and
the empty dinncr-pail
+. y united Democracy
7. The Democratic demand for Il re
vision downward of the tariff
:. The tendency to Capitalization by
the Republican leaders.
3. The disorganiZcd condition of the
Republican party, as Witnessed in the
States of Ohio, New York, Iowa, Hi
nois and Indiana.
10. The reckless extravaganza Of
the Republican Congress
II. The law preventing the Republi-
cans from getting money from cor
| pOrations to buy elections.

If Republican Legislature should be elected
this year that high type of statesman and Sena-
tor, Lee S. Overman, would be succeeded in the
Senate by Spencer L. Adams, the man who mix
ed the vilest and dirtiest Mind of partisan poll
tics with his instructions of the law from the
bench, and who pointed out to Columbus
County grand jury elements Of bravery" in
rapists 1t required courage" he told them.
For making that charge he was dashed from the
bench by the press # the State. His continual
ton at the head of the Republican party in this
State, and his domination of it, is the severest
indictment that could be brought against the
party and is sufficient reason, if there were not
a hundred others, Why it does not deserve sup,
port, or even respect.

Cotton is worth on the
New York market now
about Id per cent. more
than the average New York
price during Cleveland'S
administration. With liv-
ing expenses increased 80
per cent. in the last twelve
years, it is apparent that a
pound of cotton will buy
less to-day than at any 9th

ans Plan OF Securing Bank Deposits.
Charlotte Observer, August so, 19OS.J
Mr.. d. a. Tomukins was asked yes
tcrday what he thought OF the stauG
taken by Mr. w. j. Bryan on the
question Of guaranteed bank deposits
and what he thought of the general
proposition itself. He said:
Mr. BIyan's speech upon the sub
ject of guaranteed bank deposits ap-
pears to be as able an effort as that
gentleman ever made, at the same time
one of the best eXpOsitiOns Of the sub
iect that has yet been offered by any

which was much worse than nothing.

The Will of the People.
ATLANTA Journal.)

There are several thousand people
in Georgia today, temporarily un-
horsed by the will of the majority,
who will turn with the sunniest of
smiles to their successful adversaries
as soon as they have finished rubbing
their astonished eyes, and extend the
right hand of fellowship.
The world loves a good loser, and
so far as it is possible to win victory
from defeat, those who have been
overcome will summon good nature
and calm philosophy from temporary
reVerses and face the future as hope
fully and as confdentally as those
who wear the laurels of the visitor.
THE man worth while
Is the man who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong"
The latest reports from the ambu-
lance corps would indicate that the de-
feat was not disordered rout, for it
was according to all probability the
closest contest the state of Georgia
has ever seen. When counties waver
in the balance for hours and give
majority of one or ten or fifty, it can
hardly be successfully maintained
that the victor is entitled to a Roman
triumph. At the same time it was a
victory, and the successful contes-
tants shall have all the tribute they
could ask, except our tears.
With a sunny self-confdence we
greet our victorious adversaries and
return to the all-important task of
upbuilding the city, the state and the
nation,
