negro preachers are advising their peo-

The cause of this new and more seri-

due to combination of circumstances.
First, an alleged discrimination against
negroes ON the railroads in Georgia
stirred up feeling among the colored
race. Then an order issued by the Cor

seats to colcred people added fuel to the
fire.
1t is certain that the doctrine of emf
grafton is being preached from many of
the negro pu]pits in the city.
In Bethel church on Wheat street last
Sunday night the negroes were advised
by the preacher to "leave this Georgia
and go to their own country, Africa,

The NEXT MESSAGE.
The PresIdent's views Not Changed by
His Defeat.


WASHINGTON. Nov. es.-President
Harrison is engaged ON his message to
congress. Contrary to his usual habit,
he is debating the message to his stem
ographer, instead of writing his own
hand.
81 find," said he. "that the physical
effort of writing on this pad of paper is
exhausting."
The president looked weary as he
spoke. There is not an unhealthy look
IN his face. but there lies in it today the
expression of deep sorrow. 1t is scanned
with wrinkles. The visitor noticed, too.
that on the pad where the president had
been writing the lines were not straight.
and the letters were struggling and i'll
formed. Ordinarily the president )
handwriting is as clear. precise and neat
as that of a woman.
The great strain of the long days of
Mrs Harrison's last Illness has told upon
him. Before they came he was man
of tireless energy. Work never seemed
TO exhaust him. Particularly was this
true of mental labor. The presidents
ideas flow slowly and steadily. and he
grasps his subjects witha completeness
that is wonderful. He used to sit fer
hours at time at his desk writing
steadily, never changing a word or
altering the position of a comma. SO
perfectly and accurately did his
thoughts frame themselves.
But now he is easily distracted, and
his stenographer will take the forth
coming message from dictation. An in
terviewer remarked to him:
cit looks as though it were Mckinley
ism that had defeated the Republican
party, and the people are anxious to
know whether you will modify your
views on the subject of protection in this
message"
The president, looking his visitor
squarely in the face, said:
1.-THE newspapers of the United States
ought to know me well enough to be-
ieve that when I advocate a system
/ am not going to change my views,
merely because of defeat in election. -

Gen. G. G. Watts is candidate
for re appointment to his old posi-
ton. that of o. S. District Attorney
for West Virginia. While he held
that position under Mr.. Cleveland
he was a faithful, watchful and hon
est officer, and no word of reproach
was ever brought against his con-
duct of the Office. He is an able
lawyer, popular, and the very man
for the place, and we hope that Mr..
Cleveland will re-instate him again.
He was the first man to fall under
a blow from Harrison, in this State,
all because he was trying to convict
Republicans indicted for fraudulent
voting and frauds upon the ballot
box. Let us have Gen. Watts, and
it will meet the approval of every
Democrat in the State.

was thoroughly Democratic on q
fair, square vote, concluded their
only chance of taking it away
from the Democracy was to cheat
them out of it by importing vir-
gia and North Carolina negroes.
In this bold and unblushing scheme
to debauch the ballot box the Re-
Publicans were foiled and defeated
by the brave and patriotic Demo
Gratis of the State.
In 1892 that Prince of modern
"boodlers," Steven. B. Elkins, as
sumed the task of making West
Virginia a Republican State. He
was given an indefinite leave of
absence from his duties in Wash
ington as Secretary of War by that
Immediately pure statesman, Pres
ident Harrison, and was furnished
with all the sboodle" he wanted by
the Republican National Compittee.
He went to work in dead earnest
to make West Virginia Republican.
He flooded the State with money.
He filed the State with the best
Republican speakers. He resorted
to all sorts of schemes and tricks to
win the people from their allegiance
to the Democracy, but it was all in
vain. 1t all failed and West Vir-
ginians administered to Mr.. EIkins
on the sth day of this month, such
rebuke as will last him for the rest
of his natural life. He imagined
that the West virginians were as
susceptible to money influences as
himself, but he awoke on the morn
ing of the 9th to find he was mis-
taken.
No one has made a more disas-
troas failure in making West vir-
GINA Republican than Stephen B.
Elkins. He feels it, he knows it and
is ashamed of it. After burying
himself in the mountains of West
Virginia for some days after the
election he returned to Washington
to tell his chief that the Republican
party is much too progressive" for
tie mountaineers of West Virginia.
Good bye, Steven; we hope you are
at least wiser, if not better, man
after your attempt to carry West.
Virginia for McKinleyism.
Surely, the question as to whether
West Virginia is Democratic State
or not. is finally and absolutely set.
tied. The Republicans ought to be
satisfied by this time of the fact that
West Virginia is a good Democratic
State, and we think they are. 1t is
the last time any statesman of the
Republican persuasion will ever at
tempt to carry West Virginia.
