The fact that, owing to receptions
practiced upon the Administration, a
few unworthy men have been appointed
to Office has delighted the souls of the
organs. The National Republican, for
instance, asks:
"But how can the Democratic party
hold up its head and make satisfactory
explanation of the fact that leading
Democrats in several States have Sc
cured Federal appointments for ex-con-
victs and other representatives Of the
criminal classes?"
About the best answer to the Repub-
hcdn is. we think, furnished by the
Philadelphia Record. The Record says
"When an unfit man happens to
squeeze through the bars and gets ap-
pointed to Federal office, what thun-
dcrs of anathema go up from the OPP
position press. 1t is astonishing how
little impression it makes upon these
same moralists when a rascal is turned
out. The profusion of their vinegar is
as remarkable as is the scarcity Of their
honey. Perhaps their minds are en-
FILTERED by late political changes"

Mar. Wise and the Negro Vote.

The claim of Mr.. WISE that he will
receive at the ensuing election 100, 200
out of the l2S,OOO negro votes in Yir-
ginia has led the Washington Post to
make little bit of interesting analysis
and comment. Here is the analysis
"The vote Of Virginia at the presi-
dental election last November, the
largest ever cast, was 2S4, 99l, which was
S5.2 per cent. of the total male popu-
lstion Of voting age, according to the
census OF 1880, over per cent. larger
than the general average throughout
the country, which was 1919 per cent,
and larger also than like percentage
in either Of the States Of Connecticut,
Massachusetts,, New York, or Pennsyl-
vanja. 1t is not at all likely that the
vote this year at State election will
exceed that cast in presidential year.
II, therefore, Mr.. Wise be correct in
his statement, it is fair to assume that
II l2S, 900 negroes voted last Novem-
Der they aligned themselves in party
ranks in the proportion he speaks Of.
Let us see what the figures show.
"Mr. Cleveland received las, 4o7
votes-l37, 497 white and 5000 black.
Mr.. Blaine received 1885 votes
10000 black aud 1886 white. OF
the white votes Mr.. Cleveland received
seven out Of every eight aud his ma
jority was $4,000. OF the black votes
Mr. Blaine received sixteen out of
seventeen and had majority Of 112,-
900. The preponderating majority Of
5000 white votes carried the State for
Cleveland"
OF course there is no way OF telling
how many negroes voted for CLEvB-
LAND, and we have no doubt but that
the Post puts its figures 5000 en-
tirely too high. But this does no,
materially affect the significance Of the
Posts analysis nor the force Of its
comment, which comment is as follows
"Tfied in the light of these figures,
one would suppose Mr.. Wise's state
ment TO be q reluctant admission rather
than an exultant boast. Sixteen years
after yirginia's first State election, ne
groes voting, this representative Repub-
licsn publicly declares that his party
has not succeeded in converting more
than one white Virginia voter out Of
eight, and that be hopes TO be elected
Governor by the suifrages Of sixteen out
ofseyenteen Of the black voters in the
State.
What claim has such party upon
the intelligent voters Of Virginia--upon
those particularly interested in an hon
est and economical administration OF
public affairs? How can any yirginisn
lend his aid TO an organization whose
lssder coolIy admits that he has drawn
the color line so closely that be holds
sixteen-sevsnteenth OF the negro voters
IN the hollow Of bis hAnd--a set OF men
upon whom argument is lost and time
wasted 70
Certainly this does not make . very
cnviabls showing for the Virginia Re-
publioans. II is not calculated to secure
for them the moral support Of the bet |
Eer class Of Republicans 10 the North, |

the Closely-Contested Counties.

The Contested Counties.
The Lynchburg Adrance declares it
is an indispensable necessity" that
the next Legislature should be thor
oughly Democratic, and adds:
1.-THE enemy has an anxious eye
upon this particular point, as can be
seen from his every movement; and his
heaviest artillery will be planted in
those counties and districts where
the vote is closest and the con-
test will be fercest. 1t will be
impossible for him to capture
the Senate, but there are many closely
contested counties in the State where
our majorities were very small two
years ago, and where the change of
only few votes will give them to the
enemy, To neglect these would be an
iDexcusable crime on our part; and to
strengthen our position and make sure
of the result, we must nominate as soon
as possible our strongest and best men
and thoroughly organize our forces for
the fray"
The earnestness of the AdrGnce's
language is fully justified by the situa-
ton. Keep it before the people that
MALONE is fighting for his political
life and will make desperate assault
upon the weak counties. The Advance
points the way in which the assault can
be successfully resisted.

The lungs furnish the air. They
keep blowing, blowing, blowing all day
and night. Lungs must be sound if
health is expected. When lung-fever
comes there is danger. The Rev. A..
W. Whitney, of bingham, Wis, had
lung-feyer and was laid aside from his
pulpit and pastoral duties. He writes
that after a long sickness he used
Browns Iron Bitters and gained strength
and health.

The Tribune asks, "What has the

has proved to the satisfaction Of the

truth in the Tribane's charge that the
