same experiences that they had after the
war IN reconstruction times.
We wish most heartily that the Re
publican party would unload the negro
so that those white people who are Re-
pubiIcans in their instincts might openly
proclaim their choice and thus produce
two parties here that divided upon the
questions Of the day rather than upon the
color OF a mans skin.
We hoped that the beginning OF this day
had dawned after the last p~resid"niiai
election. There were thousands OF white
people in Virginia and In all other parts
Of the South who thought hat the Re
publican party OF the nation had aban-
doned its old time EFFORT TO rule the
Southern States by the negro vote and
who were pretty nearly ready TO break
with the Democratic party and openly
join the Republican party. II must not
be supposed that The Times was one or
these. The Times IS Democratic and not
Republican. and nothing could ever make
Il have the smallest liberation for the
Republican ideas OF government. But the
Times recognizes the fact that there are
many white people I'm the South VINO DO
believe I'm the Republican ideas Of gov
eminent. and the Times hoped the time
had arrived when these people would no
longer be coerced into n union that does
not suit them and when they could act
with party associates who agree with
them.
But the Times fears Messrs. Hanna ana
Mckinley have kicked all the fat in the
fire and have ruined the prospect OF a
reformed Republican party in the South.
Mr.. Mckinley appointments Of negroes
TO Important public positions IN the States
TO the South of us have excited the
alarm Of the Southern people and have
revived much OF the old time terror OF
negro rule. Those appointments have. I'm
one day, undone all that had been done
towards ending the race issue in the
South. and they have again solidihed the
whites so that nothing Whatever '"n
separate them while the Federal admin
istration retains it's present position.
These appointments are understood 10
have heen made at the dictation, almost
Of Mr.. Hanna. who made promises dur
ing the presidential campaign that he
has felt compelled to perform since the
election. He had better have discharged
his promises in some other way at any
cost than TO have done what he has done.
II he really wishes TO build mp a Repub-
iican party that will have any chance 10
amount to anything in the South he could
not have dealt his own purposes a dead
lier blow than he dealt them when ne
caused these appointments.

Colonel John w. Caldwell. ex-Congress-
man from the Third Kentucky District,
and one Of the most prominent Democrats
in the state has recently published a let
ter which has greatly annoyed his free
silver associates.
At the outset, he says:
Il now believe tina the gold standard
this century. ] believe now, as much as l
ever did. I'm the wisdom Of b%imetallisn;
but recognize that unless some great un.
foreseen upheaval comes the free coinage
OF silver in this country is not q question
Of practical politics, and will not be the
issue in 1907
He chen goes on to say that he has al
ways advocated the free coinage of silver
and gives at length his reasons there
for. lie regrets that Democrats may no;
honestly differ on this question Of financial
policy without hurting epithets at one
another. He respects the opinions Of
honest Democrats, whether they advocate
or oppose free coinage. but he draws the
line at Populists and in concluding his let
ter, says:
In my opinion, no man who Is a Demo-
crat can ever advocate the Populist doc
tr!ne OF buying up the railroads, the tele-
graph and telephone lines, etc. because
this would at once centralize vast power
in the hands Of the government. virtually
wiping out State lines. which are neces-
sary Tor the preservation Of the liberties
OF the people; would place in the hands OF
the President autocratic powers, would
lead 10 the establishment of n standing
army Of 5OO.OOO men; and would weigh
the government down with a debt Of ten
or fifteen billions Of dollars, the interest
on which must be paid by the sweat and
labor OF our people. Under such cOndi-
lions. we would go 10 sleep some night a
republic and wake up next morning an
empire.
