Wailing Hypocritas


with singular abstraction the Demo-
Gratis In the south aided and abetted by
eopperheads in the north. arc trying to
raise the irreIatlve issue in the present
campaign of "lmperiailsm," a thing that
does not exist. and cannot exist on this
continent. It Is tho cry OF the desperate
in the last ditch. These people profess
an undylng solleitude for the welfare of
the Fillplnos, ana wall continually
about governing people without their
consent They give an exhibition of the
very refinement Of hypocrisy. They are
those who arc now trying to disfran-
ehise millions OF colored citizens in our
own country, and In some instances
have done so, in utter disregard Of the
constitution.
In reviewing the condition Of affairs
the Cleveland Leader refers to the tesu-
mony of Ex-Governor Maccorkle of
this state. as'follows:
"Ex-Governor AIacCorlle. Of West
Virginia, who is a Democrat, said in an
interview in the Leader the other day,
that the situation In the south was ap.
pallIng and frightful The movement
to dlsfranchise 100000 colored voters,
he declared, had taken such shape that
1t could only be stamped out by the
wlsest and most cautious statesman
ship. That is the testimony of Demo-
crat who had visited the BLACK" states,
and knows whereof he speaks
That is the situation which has been
brought about In the south by the very
men who are trying to emphasize in
connection with our foreign policy the
statement of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence that governments shall derive
their Just powers from the consent OF
the governed. There is not to-day in
the south single state, from Kentucky
to Texas. in which there Is a republican
form OF government within tho mean
ing of the federal constitution. or in
which the majority is permitted 10 rule.
Yet the southern Democrats and north
ern copperheads arc trying to dictate a
humane and LIBERAL policy with respect
to our acquired possessions.
Away with the political demagogues
and mountebanks"

Yesterday the Intelligencer called at
tention to the wonderful record made in

lures, and cited the variety of articles
that entered into this marvellous total
of expectations to foreign countries. In

by values. as the varying value of the

croker's Mistake.

The Intelllgencer remarked a few
days ago that the announcement of
Boss Croker that he was unconditional
ly favorable to the nomination Of Bryan
was aboa. the worst handicap the Ne
braskan had been called upon to bear.
Croker wasn't satisfied with the mere
statement Of his royal favor, but at
tempted to give reasons for hl5 prefer
ment namely that he believed the apos-
tie OF free silver and calamity could
carry the German vote in Ohio. and
consequently the state This assertion
would be emfnentiy amusing II 1t were
not so palpably insulting to the Intelli-
gence Of that class OF voters.
The Cincinnati Times Star shows up
the righteousness OF this claim In an
effective manner when 1t. says that "Mr.
Croker has so long had the handling OF
the foreign born element in New York
city, where the Irish vote constitutes
Tammany's main reliance, that he has
readily entered into the Bryan idea that
to be elected all that is necessary Is to
capture the foreign born voter Mr.,
Bryan launched this idea last summer
in Minnesota, when he declared that he
had been beaten In 1896 by the foreign
born voters. who we're too ignorant to
understand the free silver issue, and to
whom he then proposed to give an issue

There ls no German vote in Ohio. The
Germsn-American vote is an American
vote. Ohio will be found solidly in line
for Mckinley when the votes are count
ed this fall. There viii be no break
here, despite the orders which the Tam
many boss may send from his English
home to capture 1t. In fact. the Repub-
leans are rejolced that the Bryanized
Tammanyites have openly announced
their intent to carry the state. The
only possible danger that confronted the
Republicans in Ohio was In overcome

carry the state will arouse every Re-
