Simmons, of North Carolina. 'Southern Democrats," declared he, 'believe In Mr. Bryan’s honesty and sincerity of purpo.e and his profound sympathy with the people. They re gard him as the greatest advocate of the people's rights and Interests which this generation bee produced, and though they disagree with him radical ly on the questions of government own ership and the Initiative and roferen dum, they have confidence that he will submit to the Judgment of his party associates on those questions, and If he Is a candidate for nomination he will have the support of the North Carolina delegation and probably most of the Southern delegates, most probably without any Opposition. “I feel sure North Carolina and the South generally would eupport Mr. Bryan’s tendencies should he ask the nomination. There is a widespread hope In that section, shared by many of Mr. Bryan's warmest supporters, that he will not be a candidate, but will lend his great Influence to the selection of a ticket which will heal the factional breach in the party and draw to It tho hearty and honest support of all ele ments In tho party, ’’These men believe It such a ticket could be named It would not only re ceive the united Democratic vote, but the votes of that large element which In recent years have voted the Republi can ticket, but have lost sympathy with that party on account of Its attitude toward the tariff, centralization and the trusts and want a change in Federal administration, and that such a ticket would have more than an even chance of election. "The great majority of Democrats of North Carolina would rather tee Mr. Bryan president than any other man in the United States. Many of these be lieve he would, poll more votes next year than any man we could nominate; but there ere legions of Mr. Bryan's friends who think otherwise. "In these conditions with the nomi nation practically conceded to Mr. Bry an, if he shall ask It, a great responsi bility will rest upon him, a* great per haps as ever rested upon a human be- Ing In this country. For myself I be lieve that Mr. Bryan, putting aside self, seeking and ambition, will govern hie course In -the premises by what he shall In the light of conditions as they may disclose themselves between now and the convention conclude what Is his duty to his rtirty and to the country."

"We consider the strike over. Hence, what Is the need of further negotia tions? I con only repeat what I have reiterated before, that we will deal with such of our old men who Individually apply for work so long as we have places for them, and aa we are adding to our force by tho employment of out. aiders every day, the longer our former employees delay putting In their appll- cations, the less show they will have of getting back their old positions. ”1 say this sorrowfully, too, because there are many of the old men whom we have highly prized, but we can not with Justice to the men who have stood by us discharge any of them In order to make place for a striker.
