DEMOCRATS MAKING GOOD.

The republican press and peo-
pie who have been predicting
yea devoutely praying-that seri-
GUS disagreements might attend
the democratic majority in organ
tizing the new House of Congress
appear doomed to disappointment.
Even those recently engaged in
an effort to precipitate war in the
North Carolina delegation, on ac-
count of friendly differences of
opinion on the Canadian reciproc-
ity measure have another guess
coming, if the Washington CORE
spondent of the News and Obser-
yer is to be believed. He says:
Some publications in the State

when Senator Simmons, of North
Carolina asked the President the 9TH

the free list bill for the bentit of the

1t daily becomes more apparent
that Senator Simmons had the in
terest Of the farmers in mind
when he determined to oppose the
ratification of the Canadian reel
procity treaty at the regular ses-
sion of congress. But for the OPP
position the Mccall bill encoun-
tered in the senate it would have
become a law, with the consumer
left out in the cold, is the claim
made by Senator Simmons and
those who stood with him during
the closing hours of the last con-
gress. And it begins to look that
way, since the appearance, In this
special session, of a companion
measure looking to the remedying
of that viewo of the matter. The

substantial relief to the farmers
and consumers of the country on
manufactured products, such as

list.
The bill known as President
~Taft's reciprocity agreement
passed the House last Friday by a
vote of 265 to 80, 1877 democrats
voting for and ten aaginst it. The
republican vote was: 81 for and
s78 against the measure, with
former Speaker Cannon leading
the opposition on the minority
side. The companion measure,
known as the farmers free-hst
bill, will follow soon. They

--A
Hartford, Conn, long a repub1i-
can stronghold, has just elected
democratic city officers; Oyster
Bay, the home of former Presi-
dent Roosevelt, has done likewise.
The trend of sentiment through
out the country is toward the de-
mocracy. Let progressive Hender
sonville fall in line by electing the
entire democratic ticket for mayor
and aldermen next Tuesday. This
result can easily be accomplished
if every democrat does his duty.
The democracy offers experienced
business men as its candidates and
it becomes the duty of all good
party men, and other citizens, who
want. a conservative, progressive
administration, to support them.

do so, the democrats of Hender-

be won SO surely >as Tuesday

This is from the Charlotte Chron

"fSenator Simmons followed his
senatorial defy by a personal visit
to Raleagh but it is related that he
did not call on Governor Kitchen.
Why should he have called? If
there is one thing Simmons is not,
il is a hypocrit. The public would
have looked upon his call on his
prospective opponent as an act of
