actly.-Charlesto News and Courier.
Mr.. Clarkson's appeal to his fol-
lowers to read none but Republican
newspapers is like the mothers petition
to her offspring to Shut his eyes and
swallow the castor oil at single gulp.
Chicago News.
Matt Quay has been firmly estab-
lished in the confidence of Republican
leaders. His dishonesty has been sc
clearly proved that he will never again

defense of Senator Quay with the state
ment that she is one of the quietest

negro teachers and negro businessmen.
