A TRANSPARENT Game.

| 1t is rather amusing to notice the sollcitude
| of the Bourbon faction of the Democratic par
| ty for the interests of the Republican party in
the 18th, 9th and 9th Congressional districts,
where the Republican conventions have de-
termined not to nominate candidates. Their
time and attention are taken up in instructive
suggestions as to Republican policy and more
particularly in appeals to the colored voters to
see to it that they have representative man
to vote for Of course this is all sincere-it
comes from deep concern they feel for the
negro race, and is an exhibition of the appre-
citation they have ever manifested Of his ca
pacities for high public positions. In this dis
trict Bourbon money and Bourbon Influence
are ndustriously employed to direct the policy
of the Republican party, and earnest appeals
made to the colored people to support the col
ored man who has announced himself for Con-
gress independent of the action of the Conven-
ton of his party In the 9Th District, notwith-
standing the regular Republican convention
determined it to be inexpedient to nominate a
candidate, persistent effort is being made to
is the case in the 9th district.
Republicans, whether white or colored, will
find no difficulty in fathoming the motives OF
this wondrous kindness and sympathy, and
be sure to conclude that anything that would
please the the Bourbons would most assuredly
damage the Republicans. Col. Cabell Mr.. Tuck
er, and Judge Allen have all denounced the
Republican candidates for President and Vice
President and Republican principles and adj
ministration in the strongest terms, and in this
programme their spouters have exhausted the
vocabulary of SANDER and vituperation in their
attempts to blacken the characters of not only
the representatives of the Republican party in
this canvass, but in disappearing every one
who supports them. They dare not enter up
on discussion of the principles of the two
parties, and consequently their assaults are
made up of falsehoods and political garbage to
arouse a prejudice against their opponents
Yet these same men are extremely solicitous
that Republican candidates shall be announced
and voted for in each ofthe districts named and
for what !? Why of course to promote the in
terests and secure the election of the Bourbon
candidates andthe representatives of the party
of hate and malice and SANDER, which are be-
ingpoured out upon the heads of Republicans.
We do not propose to enter into the mer-
its of the competing Democratic candidates in
the districts where Republicans have not been
nominated. But when the Bourbon faction of
fbo non,ocratic Marty leave THAR own, line of
operations and invade the Republican house
hold it is not out of place to expose their mo-
tives and Let the people know how sincere
their sympathy with Republicans is. 1t is all
for Bourbon advantage, and not for any bene-
fit to Republicans, and in this light every Re
publican, whether white or colorcd, should
consider it and vote accordingly.

a very cheering character. We have aimed
to procure the most authentic reports and not
to intentionally mislead those awaiting our

Aswill be seen from the telegraphic dispatch

a Democratic majority last year of 1900.

bad grace for the Landpoark or any other Dem
