CANDIDATES FOR The
UNITED STATES SENATE

The seat in the United States Senate
to.which the people elected Hon. Ma
poleon B. Broward, last June, will not
90 vacant for want of someone to take
l.. Already there are four prospective
candidates: Hon. F. M. Hudson, Hon.
N. P. Bryan, Hon. Park M. Trammell
and Hon. W. A. Blount.
While it is doubtful if State Senator
Hudson will become candidate. If a
primary is called, on account OF two
candidates having to stand the total ex-
pense of the primary in the AZ counties,
still. if the election is left to the legis-
lature, he will undoubtedly be elected.
No man in Florida stands as well before
that body as does the Senator, he hav-
ing been the active champion of the
Broward principles at Tallahassee dur.
ing the past four years, and is held in
high esteem by all.
Hon. N. P. Bryan has received many
letters and kilograms from various parts
of the state urging him to become a
candidate for the United States senate;
and a number Representative citizens
from different sections, believing that
MIR. Bryan can best represent the in
terest of the people of Florida, have
personally requested him to consent to
become a candidate. and he has con.
scented to be candidate for the United
States senate. MIR. Bryan is in full
accord and sympathy with that portion
of Democracy which is opposed to
legislation for special interests, believes
in the conservation of natural resources
and is fully abreast of the great pro.
gressive movement now on OF the plain
people. :,
Attorney General Park M. Trammel
had been urged by large number OF
friends to enter the contest, but has not
vet decided definitely. Mr.. Trammel
Is one of the states best known men
and is a lawyer of great ability, holding
one of the states most important offices.
His friends believe that If he is urged
he will become candidate and severa
of them have started to work in the be
lieving that he will yield to the per
suasiOn of his admirers and enter race.
Hon. w. A. Blount, of Pensacola, hal
announced his candidacy in the follow
ing telegram to The TRIBUNE: Il an

United States Senate to succeed Senat
or Taliaferro. prefer running in
primary to be held before April next
but if that be impracticable. will be II

Mr.. Blount will, in all probability hay
the support of the Taliaferro-H Holt

TWO HUNDRED MILES ABSENT.

The editor of the Shelby Aurora is
one of those men who are able TO
combine manliness with editorial dig
nifty, and who does not care TO en-
dorge attacks made without justice
on any one, no matter what may be
his political tendencies, and even in
a very warm campaign. In the latest
number of The Aurora an editorial
appeared from which the appended
extracts are taken:
in a previous issue Of this paper
We criticised Senator Simmons for
his cowardly back-doWn in condemn
ing Ex-senator Butler as "a traitor"
and Benedict Arnold" and at the
same time refusing to meet him face
to fact, like a man, and confronting
him with charges and thus giving
him an opportunity to defend HIM
self We criticised him for denying
to Mr.. Butler that right which even
the murderer has under the laws of
the land and the laws of God-the
right to be confronted by his accus-
ers and to answer for himself.
1t is reported in the papers that
Senator Simmons, in his Gastonia
speech, paid his respects to the Auro-
ra on account of our criticisms, above
referred to, and repeated his assault
! on Butler. He is credited with say
| ing that if the Aurora will write to
| number of leading Republicans
named by him and they say that
Butler is not "a traitor" as alleged
| by him, that he will "shut up" The
| Aurora doesn't care a snap whether
he shuts up or not, but would like
for him to have courage enough to

courage, if it exists, will be afforded

DEMOCRATIC ANIMOSITY.

The Wilmington Star, staunchly
Democratic at all times, makes this
rather odd arraignment of it's own
party: "The only animosity most
Democrats seem to have in this cam
paign is Mary Ann-imosity."
An honest confession is good for
the soul and the Star undoubtedly
feels better, now that it has admitted
that the one cause for complaint
against the tissue" of the Democrats
themselves is that he has frequently
downed these self-same Democrats.

TO THE INTELLIGENT VOTERS

The Democratic party in Wake
County is widely divided and the Re-
publican party stands in the breach.
Among the several questions pre-
scented to the voters is whether the
old or the new ring of the Democratic
party shall be permitted to be in con-
troll Of county affairs or whether q
party that stands for the people and
their rights shall be allowed to give
the people the rights that belong to
them but which have been withheld
under Democratic machine rule. The
platform of the two parties in Wake
have been placed on record-and so

ers and they will decide in accordance

party that ever tried to fool the

FOP THE FARMERS.

This is a period when the farmers,
the real producers of wealth, have
their inning. Prices on all farm pro-
ducts are on paying basis, as they
have been ever since the effects Of
the Wilson, German low tariff law
wore off. and the farmers do not care
to change a policy that has brought
them money in greater amounts
than for any previously correspond
ing time.
The cry of the high cost of living
does not affect the farmers excepting
for the fact that it causes them to
make more money on what they pro-
duce. All farm products are now on
high level of value and any high
cost of living is for the benefit of
those who grow the essentials of life
Clothing, for example, an article of
need that the farmer does not pro-
duce, may cost him trifle more than
formerly, but the wage-earner who
made this clothing now receives more
money from his work and is there
fore better able to pay the farmer a
higher price for the food he must

Farmers are in the majority and

can party, policy that has builded

OLD SOLDIERS DISFRANCHISED,


In. this weeks issue we publish an
article from the Greensboro Daily
News, showing that Confederate SOL
diers and other white men have been
disfranchised by Democratic regis
trars, Notwithstanding that Governor
Aycock told the people that no white
man should be disfranchised in
North Carolina. The Governor prob
ably meant that no white man would
be disfranchised provided he would
agree to vote the Democratic ticket.
We do not beliece the honest vot-
ers of North Carolina will stand for
such methods.
1t was only a few weeks ago that
Confederate soldiers in some of the
, western counties were denied a PEN
sion because they would not agree to
, vote the Democratic ticket.
We do not see how the Confederate
soldiers, or their friends, can afford
to vote for such party, and we do
not believe that many will vote with
that discredited party.

MEARES-GODWIN DEBATE.

Especial to The Caucasian.)

Ellington. N. c., Oct 3O.-In the
recent debate here between Goodwin
and Meares, it was made to appear
by the Democratic papers that God
win ran rough shod over Meares and
headed him off at every point.
Now, this is not true, as all Demo-
Gratis who heard them will tell you
that Me3res beat Goodwin so badly
that they were actually ashamed of
their own candidate. Mr.. Meares is
a fine orator and when he speaks
everybody listens attentiyely, whether
they be Democrats or Republicans.
MIR. Goodwin is not an orator and his
efforts en- the platform remind one

thority was not CLEANED from news

! Mr.. Goodwin was .pitifully ignorant
of the national issues, except on one
ponit and that was the free and un-
limited distribution of seeds, of which
he promised an unlimited supply to
his constituents in this district.
Other national issues he did not dis
cuss. but turned his attention to
State issues which, to him were less
intricate. Forgetting for a moment
his unlaudable record both as a Con-
gresham and as a citizen, and of the

In the 1852 North Carolina Reports,
he plunged into whole-souled denun-
citation of Ex-senator Marion Butler
as though he thought Butler a more
despisable character than he himself.
Every one knows that Goodwin is No
match for Meares, and many of the
liberal minded Democrats do not hes
itate to say so. Mr.. Meares is a man
OF refined and scholarly attachments
and would make an excellent Con.

CORRECTING HISTORY.

An effort is made by the Charlotte
Observer in it's issue of last Saturday
to correct history and establish fact.
1t lays the blame for the hard times
during the Cleveland administration
upon the Republican party and de-
clares in all seriousness that lower
prices prevailed during McKiniey's
first term than at any time when Mr..
Cleveland was President.
Cleveland assumed the duties of Of
fee for the second term on March
4th, 1898. Such attacks as had been
made upon values prior to that date
came from fear of acts and policies
from a Democratic source and not
from any failure en- the part of the
Harrison administration, preceding
that of Cleveland, to maintain ma
ticnal credit and commercial tabil-
ity. Soon after Cleveland began his
second term the Wilson-Gorman bill
became a law and a country wide
panic followed as a matter of course.
The effects of this panic, like that of
immediate cause was removed, and if,
as stated, lower prices prevailed un-
der Mckinley, although this is not an
admitted fact by any means, these
came as direct and continued result
of a Democratic policy enforced un-
der Cleveland's administration. A
considerable time necessarily elapses
before a complete recovery can be
had from any financial disturbance OF
| far-reaching extent, and if the Cleve-
| land panic continued into Mckinley
term the wonder may be said to be
why it did not last longer, judging
from the long and effective start thai
had been given it.
Financial pan:cs according to those
who make q study of economic condi
tiCns, come at almost regular pc
RODS Of time. The panic of 1S93was
anticipated and provision against i

ever made, could not succeed in coun

if comparatively low selling value
