The Passing of Davenport.

The occupation of Davenport, super
visor of elections for the southern district
of New York, is gone. The repeal
of the federal election laws makes
it necessary for him to look for au-
other job. For many years he has fat
tened at the expense of the federal treas
ury. And what splendid service he rem
dered the Republican party, and how
willingly that party paid his enormous
fee bills out Of the public funds He
must be rich if he has not been extrava-
CANT and perhaps he has no need to hunt
for another job.
The wrongs the people suffered at the
hands of this man Davenport on election
days, and Immediately prior thereto,
would ill a volume. If the accounts Of
his doings are true he never hesitated To
use his power as a government official 10
intimidate and bulldoze democratic
voters. According to his view republic
can voters never did any wrong. He be-
lieved, as Senator Frye does that all re
publicans are honest and all the rascals
are in the Democra tic party No amount
of evidence was sufficient 10 induce hum 10
arrest republican voters. His hirelings
and miniOus were always busy at federal
elections IA arresting those whom he had
good reason to believe would vote the
democratic ticket. And he did not want
much evidence of an intention to violate
the laws on which to base an order of ar
rest. 1t is doubtful if many of those who
were arrested, and hence. prevented from
voting, were ever tried on the charges
preferred against them That fact alone
iustiies the inference that the arrests
were made with the view of cutting down
the democratic vote.
1t would be interesting TO know Just
what the amount Of money is that has
been paid to Davenport for the work he
did for the Republican party. II must
be very large. He isn't an Office
holder for glroy, but for revenue
only. The bill repeating the
federal election laws is now
the law of the land There
will be no more bulldo,ing deputy mar
shals at the polls and the people will be
free to vote as they please. Never again,
it is to be hoped, will there be a law that
will permit the use of federal power
through deputy marshals, to keep honest
voter away from the polls.
The fight against the obnoxious federal
election laws was long and exciting one.
For years the democrats tried to have
them repealed or greatly modified. The
republicans, however, would never con-
sent. The laws just suited their pur-
pose and they made use of them to get
the majorities that might be needed to
accomplish the purpose they had in view.
The federal election laws were the last
of the political measures of the recon-
struction period. They were aimed at
the south. By means of them the repub-
licans hoped to get control Of the most of
the southern states. They were a source
of annoyance and helped to keep alive
sectional feeling They belong now to
the past, and there ought to be very gen
eral rejoicing that they do.

KOlh's Crowd.

The disaffected elements Of the diff
! ferent political parties and factions Of
Alabama met in Birmingham on Thurs
day and nominated Reuben f. Kolb for
governor This is the third nomination
for governor that Mr.. Kolb has received,
and he has been twice defeated. The
men who nominated him on Thursday
may be properly called a job lot Of poll
ticians
1t seems TO be understood that the re-
publicans will lend Mr. Kolb a helping
hand, not because they like Kolb, or the
company he keeps, or the platform upon
which he is nominated, but because they
hope 10 take the control Of the state from
the genuine democracy.
The people of Alabama have twice re-
pudiated Mr.. Kolb and it is safe TO pre-
dict that they will do so again. The de-
mocracy Of the state have given them a
good government, and with the Demo
cratic party in control they know what
to expect. They have good reason to
think that with MIR. Kolb and the men
who train with him in control the pro
gress of the state would be checked, if
indeed the state would not decline in
material wealth and general prosperity.
Mr. kolb used to pose as a demo rat,
but he is not a democra now. His speech
accepting the nomination at Birmingham
was a bitter attack upon the democracy
The Democratic party has not honored
him as he thinks it ought to have done,
and, therefore, he wants TO destroy it.
Mr. T[1lh frafc g mir q v-Cta nj, D. "a
at the last gubernatorial election there
will be quite general surprise. The
chances are that he will be so badly
beaten that he will finally admit that the
people don't want anything to do with
him or his crowd
He isn't the sort Of man the people
delight to honor. His career during the
last two or three years shows the kind of
a man he is. He has a platform, it is
true, but he is a candidate simply because
he has grievances. and the great majority
of those who are supporting him are not
so profoundly interested in the upbuild-
ing Of the state as they are in advancing
their own political fortunes. MIR Kolb
will do a great deal of talking, no doubt,
but he will make very few converts 1t
is known what sort of man he is, and it
is pretty well understood that he is not
the kind of a man the people want for
governor.
He will have a hard time holding his
followers together. 1t was quite diff
cult task to get them to act tremendously
at the convention, and it will be still
more difficult to get them to stand by him
throughout the campaign. 1t looks as if
he were on his way to his political grave

The Future of the Southwestern

1t is an open question whether the
Southwestern railroad will remain a part
Of the Central system or will be opera ted
in the near future as an Independent road.
Receiver Conner is apparently OF the
opinion that it will remain part of the
Central system, but it is evident that
there are influences at work outside of
the holders of the ma jority of the stock to
sever it from the Central and make it a
part of another system having a seaboard
outlet outside of Georgia.
1t is quite certain that the resolutions
adopted at Macon on Thursday make a re-
organization Of the Central system more
difficult With the recent showing of earn
ings made by the Southwestern it is doubt
full if the new board of directors would
advise the stockholders to accept a plan
of reorganization as favorable to the
Southwestern as the Hollins splan
was. Extremely liberal treatment
Of the Southwestern in any plan
of reorganization that may be Of
fered will certainly be insisted upon.
The demand of the Southwestern STOCK
holders, or those acting for them, may be
greater than any reorganization plan that
is likely to be acceptable can stand
1t is evident that the men who are now
in charge Of the Southwestern S interests
will not be influenced in the least by
sentiment. They are going to do the best
they can for Southwestern, and the re-
suit may be hurtful TO Savannah's inter
ests. They can not, of course, be criticised
for looking out for theirown interests 1t
is natural they should do so.
Mr.. Conner is very hopeful that the Cen
trail system will be reorganized, and APP
parently does not regard the step taken
by the Southwestern as a hindrance to
successful reorganization. He ought to be
in position TO know whether the situa-
ton as it now presents itself justifes his
cheerful view. II is certainly to be hoped
il does

How Armour Thawed q "Freeze-out ),

for the completion of the undertaking When
he discovered the freezing out" designs of
his competitors, he gave himself no anxiety
whatever. He rang his office boil A clerk

The platform adopted by the Kolbites.
of Alabama. day before yesterday, does
not demand the government ownership
of railroads and telegra. rs. Apart from
that, and possibly one or two other details
of minor Importance, it is very fair re-
hash of p0pulst platform. There is
minimum of democracy and a maximum
of populism aUout it, 1t was evidently
framed to coincide with almost any view
on local matters. The platform demands
that the conyicts shall be taken out of
the mines, but not that the lease system
shall be abrogated; it demands a tariff
for revenue, but wishes it levied for pro
lection; it demands the enactment of
laws that would lay tax upon thrift and
enterprise yet pledges the enactment of
such laws as will afford encouragement
and protection to all legitimate invest
nents." AS a populist platform, it is as
good as the average.
