uer Republican. Indeed so devoted IS Mr..
D"neS 20 such Republicans that when
roosevelt denounced all Democrats as
towards at home and skulkers abroad"
no WORD even of protest appears in the
Biblical Recorder.
roosevelt is a King-a canning man.
IKE Col. Andrews, to Mr.. Bailey.
Inc warm eulogy of President McKin-
iey IN the issue of August 24th, is about
ao CORDIAL as Mark Hanna would give.
II would make the most eulogistic page
IN the Republican Hand Book.
Mchlnleys treaty with the Sultan OF
the Sulu Islands is thus defended:
headers Of certain papers lave been
informed that the United States has an
hexed polygamy, Mohemmedanism and
slavery very recently The information
IS OF equal reliability as that to the effect
mat the United States will be an en-
plre-ls already one-if so and so is not
mace President and his camp followers
are not put IN the cabinet OF the revenue
service or in a department clerkship."
Writing on January 18th, '95, he says
OF the Philippine question, 1.-The first step
is to put aside all sense of fear Of the
CApduSiOl duu duIpCTldl-
ISM = = If the people must have
a campaign issue let them get one that
relates to their affairs more largely and
directly"
Speaking of Russell, in the issue of De-
cember 21st, he says tina while he has
made plumbers" and done "some unwor-
thy things he has done nothing worthy Of
the u~nspeakably severe act of i'm
peachment,' and adds: "In some of his eff
forts 1t is not to be doubted but that
he was moved by the highest sense of
Patriotism In what, for instance?
When he put ON the collar of the South
ern Railway?
In it's issue of December 7th. 1899, he
advocates the reduction of North Caro-
lina's representation in Congress in pro-
portion to the reduction of the diSfran-
chlsed negro vote, expressly approving
Senator P~ritchard's prediction that it
would be done. Senator Pritchard only
predicted it would be done; he has not
said he would support the proposition to
reduce his States representation. Bailey
goes a bow-shot beyond the Republican
Senator in advocating a Republican pol
icy suggested to rob the South of it's
equal voice in national affairs.
Back in May, 1898, the Republican party
had not announced its policy in regard to
the Philippines, and hence Editor Bailey
was at a loss as to what view he should
take ON that question. Discussing it in
his issue of May 18th, he says:
1T is not at all assured that our gov
m is very DESTROYS of owning them
the Philippines]. 1t is certain that such
a possession would cost very dearly
There are tremendous obstacles in the
path of any nation that adopts a policy
of aggression in the present stage O
history"

the two parties on the tariff.
