FAUTS ON LYNCHINGS
DEMOCRATIC STATES SHOULD CON-
DENIM ATROCITIES.

A Detailed Statement Shows That Al.
States, Yet They Have 14O Out of 166
Lynchings to Their Credit.
That great apostle OF the colored
people, the Hon. Frederick Douglass,
frequently warned his brethren against
supporting the Democratic party. He
once wrote to friend saying:
"Never let it be fact that my
brethren in this country have turned
from the Republican party that has al
ways befriended them, to give support
to the Democratic party that has al
ways been their foe. Let me warn them
against this
A detailed statement of the lynch
ings for 1897 emphasizes the warning
of this magnificent leader, now passed
to the great beyond.
1t is as follows:
Democratic States.
Alabama, 10; Arkansas, II; Florida
IL; Georgia, Il; Kentucky, Z; Louis
lana, IA; Mississippi, 16; Missouri, 4;
South Carolina, 6; Tennessee, Z; Texas
25; Virginia, s; total, 14O.

Maryland, /; North Dakota, 8; Ohio, /;

| The Democrats control Is states O.
the Union which have 140 lynching.
to their account.
The Republicans control 80 states
which have 13 lynchings to answer for
Less than one-half as many Demo
cratic states show over ten-fold thu
number of lynchings as the Republi
can states In other words 20 lynch
ings occur in Democratic states to on
in a Republican state.
In view of these facts it would seen
to be in order for the Democrats o
Ohio to call convention of all tn

formulate a plank denouncing thes

Referring to the campaign OF 1888,
Allen o. Myers. in his book, Bosses

If Mclean was willing to spend $780,

to defeat Pendleton for senator, it is
easy to believe that he will spend three
quarters of million dollars in the
effort to become governor of Ohio, and
possibly the Democratic nominee for
president.
This, however, is different year
from 1883 in every respect. and even
the whole of Mr.. McLean's enormous
fortune, if it were poured out to secure
success. would fail signally and igno-
miniously.

PENSION ATTORNEYS.
why They Are Attacking Commissioner
Eyans.

why In0y are AttacNiDS commissioners
Evans.
1t turns out that attacks upon Pen
sion Commissioner Evans are largely
due to the fact that he has dropped
from the roll of claim agents and PEN
sion attorneys more than 10000 men.
When he came into Office the names
of more than $4,000 attorneys were on
the record of the pension Office, and
today the number is 1S,491. Many of
these names have been dropped be-
cause of fraudulent practices. Tho
amount paid to the claim agents last
year was $476,9O0, compared with
$730,0OO in the preceding year, saw
ing of $253, 100 to the veterans and a
loss of that amount to the clail
agents. Hence, the dissatisfaction of
the agents and the vigor of the fight
which they have waged against Mr..
Evans.
