DEFIEs THE NEGRO HATERs.


The Atlanta Constitution, September
81, says: Tho personal aspects of tho
meeting OF Wednesday night do not
concern ~ in the least. We believe we
received more letters yesterday apprOv.
ing our course than votes were cast con.
demning it, Every journalist who docs
his duty must expect 10 be the subject
Of adverse ''lesolutions' once in II while,
We are glad that our first experience OF
this kind comes from protesting against
the dragging of helpless negroes from
beds and lashinS them with lawless and
mcrcilcss hands.
Let us look at this East Point outrage
Il moment, a negro boy had been
lynched for q brutal assault on white
girl. After the excitement was over,
when not II negro was to he seen in East
Point, q number of men went through
the woods, breaking in the doors of negro
cabins, dragging unurmed negroes from
their beds and stripping them and whip
ping them. This was an outrage
wanton, because there was neither ne
cessity nor eXcuse for it--lawless, be-
cause there is no law for it-worse be-
cause il was visited on helpless and de-
ienseless men--a wrong against Georgia,
for It stained her fair name--and against
the people Of the South, because it affects
the general estimate Of Southern charac-
ter We denounced 1t promptly, and we
officers of the law should never rest un-
til they have brought the perpetrators to
conviction and punishment.
Perhaps there never was u time in the
worlds history when such an outrage
might bring wider or more appalling re-
| suits. The two races of our section are
in strained relations. The most ire
sponsible member of either race may
become the hinge on which both races
will wheel into opposing factions. a
single blow struck Ill rage or drunken
ness may lead to thousand that fall IN
dclberation. A white man may whip
negro. The negro may rctaliate by
another outrage. The friends OF both
may become involved. Instantly
lace antipathies may be developed.
! Forgetting the justice CIR injustice OF
| the original cause, its tritiing and
purely personal character, u whole
community may become involved.
Right now, more than ever, we should
build up public sentiment that vii!
make such outragcs rare ANA exception
al, ii not impossiblc--a sentiment that
will punish those who, thoughtlessly or
vic.Dusly, endanger the public peace and
general welfare.
We are confident that eight-tenths of
the people of Atlanta approve our
course and disapprovc the temper OF
those resolutions. But were this prop
osition reverted, we should not hesitate
or waver in the course we have marked
out as the wise, and right, and Just
course. AS TO that meeting, We arc glad
| that il was called. Though the purpose
miscarried, its proceedings are not
withou, lesson that will impress itself
on the people of this community, OF this
section, and oil this republic

KING COUNTY.
Tho Republicans Are Ahead as Usual
but tho Count Not All in.

SEATTLE, Oct. d.-.Thc count of eight
Seattle precincts is finished. The FIRST
precinct, with over 800 votes, was the
last To complete the canvass. This pre-
cinct, which on the night of the election
threatened to go two to one democratic,
gave Wilson 422 and Griilitts 395, u re-
publican majority OF 81 Wilson car
Iies the city by 1866 majority and Ferry
by Tl5. There are yet, eight small pre-
cincts in the county to bc heard from.
Those already reported, including the
city, give Wilson iJ12 and Griilitts 3IT9,
q republican majority OF 9l3. Ferry
received 1891 and Semplc 3249, n Majority
for Ferry of 742. The precints unlepOrod
in 1888 gave Allen 237 and Voorhees, III,
Il majority for a Hen of G3. a republican
majority of 3s7 can he confidently count
ed on, and Wilson's majority in tho
county will therefore be in round NUM-
bers 1000 and Ferry's $40. These are the
lowest estimates, and the chances arc
that Wilson's majority Will be nearer
1I00. Stratton, for superior judge, is
almost certainly defeated. I.iciitenborg,
his opponent, now has 226 majority. and
the republican mnjoriics in the remain
ing precincts can hardly overcome this.
The vote for Olympia in the county will
be nearly 5000, with Ellcneburg about
1900 and North Yakima 100. No word
has been received from Snohomish
county, the wires being still down.
