NO FUSION, IF YOU PLEASE,

 

 

It is amusing how some people set
themselyes up as judge Anent. the
much talk on the subject of fusion that
has lately been geing on the Charlotte
Observer declared that it “did not pro-
pese to march under Marion Butler’s
banner.” : At this Webster's Weekly,
of Riedsville, mounts the judgment seat

and says:

“The Demecrat who is too good to

march where Mr. Bryan and the cbair-

man of the national Democratic exec-
tive committee and the congressional
committee do is too good to stay in the
Democratic party and ought to seek
‘more select company.”

If the editor of Websters Weekly
had always been a straight Democrat

| his utterances might be entitled to more

consideration, but a man who has once

run and been elected as an independent

candidate, and who by his own vote has

put . Republicans in office and defeated
Democrats. has no right to ve dictating
who shall and-who'shall not be in the
Demeratic party.

We do not say this for the purpose
of coming to the defense of the Char-
lotte Observer, tor that paper has long
ago proven thatitisable to defend it-
sell, and that with effect, but we do
want to say in reference to the Week-
ly’s mandate, that if Mr. Bryan, (as
much as the people admire him and
wart to vote for him) Mr. Chairman of
the National Commitiee, Mr. Congres-
gionalCommittee, or anybody else, goes
to trying to run lot of wholesale fu: ‘on
over the people they are going to see the
whole thing kicked out the back door
when yoting time comes. The fusion
talk is nauseating—the people are
getting sick and tired of it. Nobedy
is in favor cf it except those who are
after “pie” and those’ who they can
influence.

. The Reriector wants straght De-
wocraey, white supremacy and tree sil-
ver—iand to see the crowd now disgrac”
ing the State turned out. So far as it
is conrerned it would yo more follow a
bannor borne by Marion Butler than
it would one in the filthy hands of Dan

Besides calling this State conven-
tion, the executive committee endorsed
the address recently issued by Cair-
man J, K. Jones, of the ‘national
Democratic commiitee. This was
to be expected. In fact there was
nothing in Chairman Jones’ address
that the State Democratic committee
eculd. hesitate about endorsing.
Chairman Jones simply ur zed that all
‘who desire the free
coinage of silver unite,-and fight the
gold - standard. ae :
‘Chairman Jones does not méntion

committee in no way suggests or re¢-
ommends fusion by its endorsment,

The Philadelphia Times says
“it is again a moot question
among naval experts whether big
vattleships have not had their
day and are.about to give way to
vessels of some different type.”
That “the accident to the Maine
is only one of a series that have
befallen like vessels both at home
and abroad, all going to.” show
that while a big battleship look
as though it might be a terror to
the enemies of the country poses-
ing it,is hardly less a terror to
friends, and especially to those
who are required to navigate it.”
There mav bes good deal in that
Nobody knows how one or a fleet
of these big ships would behave
in battle. We all do know, though
that there was a great deal. of talk
last year about the Texas having
sustained a severe wrench fron)
the shock of firing of her own guns
and there was some suggestion
that if she had not put in -for
repais she would have gone to
pieces. The efficiency of these
big battleshjps in action is yet to
be demonsfrated.—Charlotte Ob-
server.

Corn is now selling in Fair

it is often a_difficult matter to
porchage corn atthat price. This

farmer could make big money by
planting all corn. The, sale
might be slow, but, one thing is
morally certain, “they, would: be

the Spaniards, Col. Mallory suggests
that, from a climatic standpoint, if war
should be declared between the United

. They Got There

A man was being tried in court the
other day for carrying a pistol. It was
shown that be was from another State
and was passing through, the pistol be-
ing of no account.

The jury, in their verdict, said:
“Guilty, without any intent on the
criminality.” * }

Judge Robinson looked up, smiled
and remarked: “I guess that’s about
right. I don't want to be discourteous
to a stranger in our midst. You were

All right ; pass on,”
And the stranger passed..—Greens.
