more, his uncallod-for attack on South
wost Virginia might DO Vowed with
some seriousness and alarm.
But on tho principle that ono loud
mouthod fool can scare away $50, 900
capital in ilvo minutes of foolish talk,
Mr.. Supplse and whatever Baltimore
paper may follow his lead shall have a
reply.
Mr.. Suppleo sots afloat several state
ments (thercby becoming responsible
for thern) that 60 por cent. of tho money
invested in Southwest Virginia comes
from B Baltimore; that 81 900, 900 of Balti-
more money was invented in this section
IN November; and in effect that Balti-
more money hold Southwest Virginia
up by main strength.
Tho Investigations set afoot by Tue
TnLEs demonstrate the absolute fals;ty
of Mr.. Supploe's assertions, and clearly
show that every dollar that Baltimore
invested in this section has yielded big
returns.
Tt is Baltimor,'s misfortune that she
has not invested more in this fine field.
Ii is tho monumental mistake Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad that tho
Valley branch was not extended in it's
infancy into tho heart OF tho South.
AS matters stand to-day Southwest
virging;a spends five dollars in Ealti-
moro for every dollar that Baltimore
spends in Southwest Virginia
Mr. y. Frank Supploc should be gagged
before he has injured Baltimore by his
baseloss attacks on this section.

have read and reread the appeal of
the white Republicans of Texas in the
Daily GAZETTE of the 10th, and the
oftener read it the more astonded l be-
come, being as l am Northern man and
knowing from life association with the
common people the feeling prevailing
among them as to the attitude of the two
parties toward the colOred race. Ger
taiply in that appeal is a betrayal of the
hypocrisy of the Republican party in its
advocacy of what it calls the rights of
the colored race.
/. IL that it DISTINGUISHES the oolored
majority in its convention.
9. That while it claims for the colored
voter where majority exists the privi-
lege of ruling in elective offices and state
legislatures, it declare them too ignorant
and corrupt to rule Republican conven-
ton.
8. That while it charges Democrats
with DISTINGUISHING In the South, it de-
clares "'that all Republican primaries
shall be conducted and participated by
white Republicans alone and exclusive
ly. -
4. By disclaiming any intention of de-
privIng the colored voter of any Of his
rights, but assuming the exclusive right
to educate him how to vote and guaran-
teeiug him the one privilege of citizen
ship-the right to vote, providing the
white Republican has been his educator
and he votes according to that training.
Was ever the hypocritical pretension of
the Republican party made more glazing?
So manifest is it that the most ignorant
colored voter cannot fail to see it, and as
he gains Intelligence will see his future
welfare lies in his acting and voting with
the Democratic party, the very funds-
mental principles of which will bring
about the full recognition of his rights

Its opening measure is to be found IN
Wagner's Die Walkure. 1t forms the
motif of the Feuerzauber movements

1t is especially prominent just at the
point where Siegfried steps into the

notes, covering one measure with one
note over, it is exactly the same as the
beginning of Annie, even to the tempo.

the tenderness of fatherhood had first
dawned upon his heart, and OF the sweet
young wife and mother whom, a month

stern, uncompromising qualities which
predominated in his nature.
