 Resolved, That the entire democracy of Crenshaw county will consider itself under lasting obligations to every member of the legislature from this section of the state and from the state at large who will render assistance to MT.

rrcrR,xC UPON THE ELECTIOys.

The great New York dailies have been
figuring upon the elections. Their cor
respondents in each State have inter-
| viewed newspaper editors, county, city,
and state charmen, and have ADVISED
their chiefs of the results. These esti-
mates. guesses, conjectnres. or Whatever
else you may choose TO call them. have
been tabulated, and given TO the public.
As might have been expected. their fig
ures differ very much. We suspect that
tho calculators have not been unin-
nuenced by the bias OF their papers.
However. we think It will be we'll TO give
the readers OF the Dispatch the bene-
fit OF these publications. First, we pre-
sent a summary OF the estimates Of the
New York Herald. saying, by the way
that the Herald leans slightly towards
Van Wyck, while Il clearly wishes Con-
gress 20 be safely Republican. In nut
shell. the conclusions Of the Herald are
That Van Wyck leads in the race for
Governor by 100 votes. That the New
York state Legislature will be Repubii-
can. on joint ballot. That the next Con-
gress OF the United States will be Re-
publican: the estimated majority in the
House being %.
The Herald figures upon Virginia's send
ing nine Democrats and one Republican
to the House. So. too, does the New
York Journal. In its estimate. while the
World Is advised that the delegation from
the Old Dominion will be solidly Demo-
cratic-a very probable view, we think.
provided over-confidence does not infiict
upon us losses where we least expect
them.
According to the Journals figures, Van
Wyck will be elected by plurality of
over 10000, and the New York Legislat-
ture will be safely Democratic. on joint
ballot The World thinks that in the
State elections the Democrats will win
in eleven States; the Republicans in nine
States: the Fusionsts in six States;
doubtful, six States. Further. that the
Democrats and Fusionists combined will
have the best of the House of Represent
atives by at least eleven, and probably
more"
Inc w OIlu, dlSOt ldheS Il CHttIlul DtHlO-
cratic view, and says that the probable
complexion of the Fifty-sixth Congress
will be as follows: Senate-Democrats
3d. Republicans, 80; Populists, s: Fusion,
-. House-Democrats, 1871; Republicans,
l61; Populsts, 2; Fusion, 10; Democratic
majority in the House, s.
Van Wyck's plurality, 1900.
Probable complexion of the Legisla-
ture: Democrats, 1903; Republicans, 81;
Democratic majority on joint ballot, 6.
Virginia readers Of these estimates
would do well to note the fact that the
United States House OF Representatives is
likely to be close-close enough, at any
rate TO inspire us with the desire to elect
every one of our nominees. Let us, there
fore, determine that the House shall
not be lost to the Democrats through any
failure Of ours. Let our proul old State
do her utmost to give quietus to impe-
rialism, expansion, and never-ending war
taxes.

ceeding under her own steam and makih .
more than six knots an hour AT this
rate, barring storms and break-downs,
her trip up the coast should not cOnsume
more than seven days. At the navy
yard, where the work of remodelling and
rehabilitating the ship is to be done, pre-
parations are being made for the tremen-
dous job. Every facility for doing the
work Is at hand and the former Spanish
vessel will be added to Uncle Sans navy

The gunboat Wilmington arrived in

THE LESSON OF 1T.

When the lesson Of the situation In
North Carolina is reduced to It's last
ANALYSIS. 1t is very plain-so plain that
he who runs may read. 1t is that the
only hope of the South is in the Demo
cratic party. The conditions there point
unerringly TO the fact that rs 1t has been
in the past in the South, so it must be
in the future. Whatever other issues
have arisen, or may arise, with us, the
paramount and overshadOwing issue has
been. and must continue TO be. the pre-
servation of our civilization. We have
preserved our civilization heretofore by
maintaining the supremacy of intelH-
gence in the matter Of administering local
government. BY that token alone can we
preserve it hereafter. Whenever subordi-
nate issues economic or what not i'm
hinge upon and threaten to obscure the
vital issue. wisdom and true patriotism
semand that the subordinate issues be al
lowed TO go to the wall. This is not theo-
~. but a cardinal truism demonstrated
by experience
In the South Democracy and intell-
out the sheet anchor of Democracy, and
clinging to it, was the South enabled to
save her civilization from utter wreck
during the few years Immediately sue
ceedng the civil war. But for her recog-
milton that the civilization issue was SUI
preme. and the steadfast resistance OF
the intelligent classes TO the blandish-
rpiUn
of fraud. corruption, ignorance, vampire
ism. and cupidity, inaugurated by the
Republicans in reconstruction days
would have been perpetuated indefinitely.
And in every instance since the hour OF
our deliverance, in which any consider
able portion of the white people of a
Southern State have forgotten or ig-
nored their debt of gratitude to true De-
mocracy, such State has trod the path
of danger-has trod the path leading back
10 NEGRO domination. SO IL was with
Virginia I'm the movement that led to the
establishment of the Malone regime. and
so II is with North Carolina.
But the true people of the Old North
state have been bordering these facts,
and 10 a purpose. we believe, as election
day will show IL has been well said, OF
North Carolina that she is slow to move,
but that her staying qualities are pro-
verbal throughout the Union. She has
taken a stand for second delverance.
She has said to those who would over
throw her civilization. "rhus Tar shalt
thou go. and no farther" Nay, more, she
has declared that the tide that has al
ready wrought such political woe TO her
must roll back From our hearts we SYM
pathze with her.
Yes. there is in the situation In North
Carolina a lesson that he who runs may
read. And 1t Is lesson We would have
the Virginia Democrats read most
thoughtfully at this particular juncture.
We would have them read II to the end.
that on the Sth OF this month they shall
show such perfect organization, and such
loyalty TO their party as viii constitute
mIstakable notice that any efforts to
wean them from party allegiance here
after win be frultless. We would have
them read It to the end OF preventing the
possibility OF the party's having TO cope
with the conditions that confront the
Democracy of the Old North State
