THAT the South is solidly democratic,
including Kentucky and Maryland, is
we'll known to every intelligent white
man at all familiar with it's condition.
That it is also solidly opposed to expan-
sion is almost as patent. Its experience
with expansion since 1865, when the
authority of the federal government
was extended over it, has been amply
sufficient to deter it's people from de-
string to increase the number of the

III WAR IN AFRICA

London was startled yesterday by
Jews of what is probably the bloodiest
battle 80 far of the South African war
As stated in the Gazette of that date,
the battle was fought at the Modder
river, "a miles south of Kimberley. by
Gen. Methuen's British army. esti-
mated to number 1000 men, and a Boer
army, commended by Gen. P. A. Cron-
je, which Gen. Methuen estimated at
5000 men. The fighting began at
dawn Tuesday and lasted nearly all
day. Gen. Methueb, in his official re
port. says he "made the enemy quit his
position" He gives no details as to
losses, but says the fighting was "des-
pe%rate."
A dispatch received at Windsor, Eng,
and attributed to Gen. Methuen, says
the battle was the "bloodiest of the en-
tury." This is msnitestly incorrect, as
at Gettysburg and other battles in the
American civil war, not to mention
some which have occurred in Europe
10 the present century, the less was
heavier than the total number of men
engaged on both sides at the Modder
river.
General Methuen says he succeeded
in getting a ''small party" across the
river, but does not state that his main
force crossed. He must pass the river
in order 10 get to Kimberley.
A Pretoria dispatch, dated Monday,
states that the British made a sortie
from Kimberley, killing 8 and wound
ing II Beers, also capturing come of
them. In is inferred from the dispatch
that the British retnrned to KimherleY.

HIS COMPLETE VICTORY.

Administration organs are felicitat-
ing the Republican party over the re-
suit of the Ohio state convention. The
New York Commercial Advertiser
doubtless gives expression to the feel
ings of all when it says:
Senator Hanna won a complete victory
over his opponents in the Ohio Repub-
lican convention. The candidates for
platform is entirely in accord with his
views. and what perhaps is of more i'm
portance to him, he has defeated the
attempt of his opponents to prevent his
candidacy for reelection as chairman of
the Republican national committee. Of
course, much OF his victory was due to
the close political and personal relations
between himself and the president.
Our New York contemporary seems
to forget enc thing. 1t fails to men,
ton Cox of Cincinnati. And without
Cox, Hanna would have failed, unless
he had been able to form another COM
bination with some equally corrupt po-
litical boss.
The Ohio state convention was q
malodorous affair. 1t was a body of
men selected to do the bidding of the
bosses. Its contentious were between
men who had little room to complain
Of each others political morals Every
known representative of the old Re-
publicanism of Lincoln, Garfield and
Sherman was cast out with McKisson.
AS it met and transacted the business
outlined for il, the convention was rep
resentative of Republican degeneracy,
which places Hanna at its head and
his puppet in the presidential chair.
Certainly the Ohio Republican state
convention was Hanna's triumph. The
ticket is his. The platform is in full
accord with his views. 1t contains a
declaration against trusts, but the
only effective plan to deal with them
proposed was rejected and almost
howled down. And Senator Foraker,
who was induced to remain in the con-
vention, because the administration
fears his opposition in the state, was
allowed to name the candidate for at
torney general. This was the only
concession made to him and with it
went the stipulation that he should not
name again Monnett, who. as attorney
general, has been threatening the
trust interests of Hanna and the other

HANNA PAYS THE FIDDLER

Apparently the only trust that Mr.
Bryan is not opposed to is public office.
which is a public trust. He is not only
willing. but anxious that this particular
trust shall continue Indefinitely. with him
self as sole trustee.-Mail and Express.
That is a fair example of goldbug hui
NOR and ridicule. 1t is idiOtic and
pointless. If it conveys an idea at all,
it is a false one. Mr.. Bryan has held
one public office. True he ran for the
presidency and received more votes
than any candidate ever polled for the
place before, but that is no justifica-
ton for such an ill-natured sneer.
Had Bryan been chronic city,
county, state and federal olfice-holder,
as Mckinley has been all his life, the
jest would seem appropriate.
Had Bryan peddled public patronage
as public trusts for twenty-five years,
as Platt, Quay, Elkins and a score of
Republican leaders of national promi-
hence have done, one might see the
point os such a joke.
Had he been addressing the American
people for thirty or forty years through
the Congressional Record or franking
privileges, as have Sherman, Allison,
Hoar, Grosvenor and a hundred men
whom the Mail and Express has always
lauded and defended, there would be
an excuse for its sheer
But, whether appropriate or not,
when Hanna pays the fiddler he is en-
titled to the tune he likes.
