REPUBLICAN HATRED oFTHE
NEGRO.

Below are two extracts from two
Minnesota newspapers. They point a
moral and adorn a tale. The Minne-
apolis Tribune is a staunch Republican
organ and usually a v~illiier OF all that
pertains to the South, but eve 1T has
had the scales drawn from its venom
colored eyes. The Fairmont Sentinel
Is for Bryan and the Republic, equal
rights and Democratic principles, and
1t speaks the truth as 1t Is presented to
ever conscientious Northern citizens at
the present time.
The negroes of New York have al
most as much OF a grievance against
TammaDy, whose brutal policemen fail
ed to protect them from the ravages OF
al unreasoning mob, as have their
bretheren in the South against states
men OF the Tillman type'-Minneapolis
Tribune.
The negroes not only have a griev-
ance against the Rough Rider republic
can governed state Of New York, but a
similar grievance against Tanners Re-
publican governed state.of Illinois, and
a still more serious grievance against
Hanna's and McKinley's Republican
governed state of Ohio. In all these
northern Republican states have re.
Gently occurred the most senseless and
bloody ~anti-negro riots.
The colored man fares this year much
worse in the Republican tates Of the
north than in the Democratic states oi
the South
They ought to have a governor II
the states of New York, Illinois and
Ohio who would promptly call out the
militia If necessary and arrest the riot
ers, as our own Gov. Lind has recently
done.
But no doubt these Republican gov
ernors are afraid to offend the mob til
after election.
This race antipathy has no place il
partisan politics at all, but the Repub
licans have made it an issue for months
and now the Democrats have a splendid
chance to get back at them. -Fairmon

ONLY ONE AMERICAN POSITION.

The address of William ]. Bryan, in
response to the notification committee
at indianapolis, Wednesday, was a
mastery presentation of the subject of
Imperialism, without flower or meta
iphor SO farAs the argumenbwas concern
ed, but having that continuity that en-
cages and continues the attention OF
the hearer or the reader. No man ever
presented a subject so forcibly and ex-
haustively. The speech was confined al
most solely to the issue that has been
declared to be paramount in the cam
paign and Mr.. Bryan presented his
facts in such manner that the most
skeptical must be convinced. He Well
stated that the Democratic party does
not discountenance progress and as
well said that legitimate expansion Of
trade is not opposed. His reference
that 1t Is not necessary to own peo-
pie to trade with them Is the kernel Of
the Philippine argument and Is the
position that has been, taken by those
who have given the matter thought.
As the News-Democrat suggested
some weeks since. it is not necessary for
man to own grocery store in order
to get groceries, nor meat market In
order to get a choice steak. 1t is not
necessary for the United States to own
Brazil to obtain coffee, nor France to
obtain fine wine. 1t Is not necessary to
own Luzon to get hemp. for we got
hemp from Luzon before we acquired
the clouded title to the island. 1t ID
not necessary to own people to trade
with them. There is no premise that
can be suggested that makes right the
position Of the United States In the
Philippines. We had no business there
but to aid them to get rid Of the yoke
that Spain had about their ,necks ant
we hnve no business there attempting
to fashion and at another yoke Souall,
burdensome. Granted that we are no
a nation that win do the injury to thu
Fiiipinos that spain did, and what doe'
It obtainy The Filipinoss have iearne,

to despise Americans as they despised
Spaniards. They helped us to whip
Spain and cannot see in the position we
now assume anything that is not sug-
gestive Of the migrate. They can never
be governed successfully by a power
they loathe and in which they have no
confidence because of deceit and In
gratitude. There is no solution for the
Philippine question but independence
for the Filipinos. The Republican
party does not hold out the slightest
hope to the Filipinos but brazenly in
sists that they must first be conquered
and then governed to suit the notion Of
the imperialistic gentlemen at home
and the thieving telephone experts sent
abroad to collect the duties. The Demo-
Gratis promise liberty and friendly in
terest in the welfare of those brown
people, the interest to be SO friendly
that every other nation on earth must
keep hands off while they work out
their own salvation. Mr.. Bryan stated
this clearly in his speech. II he did not
stand for another idea in this campaign
that position alone, in the light Of the
conditions, ought to elect him, over
wheimingly. 1t is the only position an
own institutions can consistently take.

CHARLES A. TOwNE DECLINES.

Charles A. Towne has declined the
nomination Of the Populist party for
the vice-presidency and Announces his
intention to support the Democratic
ticket. He says that the Democrats
platform not only re-enacts the prin-
ciples of 1896, but, "in language whose
force and beauty have never been
equaled in a similar document, responds
to the new issues presented in the
growth of the trust monopoly and the
imperialistic policy of the administra-
tion by an appropriate enunciation Of
those sublime doctrines Of human rights
and liberties whose profession and
observance have been the peculiar
glory Of our country, and are the sure
basis of the ultimate happiness Of man
kind"
OF the Democratic leader Mr.. Towne
says: "And again the duty Of carrying
the banner Of the cause has been COM
mitted to that tried and trusted hand
whose grasp has never weakened,
which no fear can make to falter, and
no burden can dismay. The leadership
of Bryan. which could have redeemed
a bad platform, sanctifies a good one.
1t made memorable an unsuccessful
contest. 1t will crown victory with
imperishable splendor."
Entertaining these views Mr.. Towne
has done what every sensible man
would expect him to do and has de-
clined to divide the vote Of those
who believe in a government by AMI
for the people. His action will not
meet the favor of those gentlemen who
are interested in the success of the
Republican ticket, but will meet the
hearty accord of the people who be-
lieve in the declaration Of indepen-
dence and the constitution of the
United States. Mr.. Towne has done the
sensible, proper, patriotic and manly
thing.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1900-08-10

some declaring openly for Bryan and
some as yet only declaring against Nc
Kinley. Among these we may name
Senator Wellington, of Maryland, ex-
Senators Henderson, of Missouri, and
Fowler, of Tennessee CONGRESSMAN
johnson, Of Indiana, and others too
numerous to mention. The large Ger
man vote which Mr.. Mckinley got all
over the country four years ago will
this year support Bryan. They are not
for imperial rule and trusts.
AS for 16 to this administration has
been coming silver at that ratio and
yet the organs harp Of 1t as though the
Mckinley arrangement were not guilty.
or course they avoid telling the truth
for 1t might hurt.
The prosperity claim seems to be first
and foremost with our Republican
brethren. The business failures last
week show the way they have been
running for some time compared with
last year. Dun reports 22S failures In
the United States for the week against
1872 for last year, and "a in Canada to
20 last year. Does this show pros
perity?" Does 1T not in fact tell an
entirely different tale? If not, why
not?
Colonel Roosevelt, in late speech
said that 'to give independence to the
Filipinos would be like giving indepen-
dence to the widest tribe Of Apaches
in Arizona"
To this Governor Altgeld asks, II this
is so, why did Dewey arm those
"Apaches" for war upon Spain, and
why did be and Gen. Anderson CO.
operate with them, when to arm saw
ages and make common cause with
them in war upon a civilized nation Is
infamous in international usage?
Surely, this is decidedly pertinent and
the Rough Rider will have to try again.
,, Powers on trial in Kentucky as ac-
cessory to the murder of Governor Goe-
bel admitted that of the $1,000 found on
him when he was arrested, 5000 be-
longed to the Republican campaign
fund. "All roads lead to Rome and
the testimony in this case leads to the
Republican organization. And their
Governor Taylor keeps out Of the state,
being shielded by Governor Mount, Of
Indiana. Governor Rough Rider Roose-
velt offered to shield Mr.. Taylor and
expressed sympathy with the Kentucky
conspirators. This same Roosevelt de-
nounces the Democrats as standing

AERONAUT'S AWFUL DEATH.
Every Bone in His Body Broken
By Fall of 1000
Feet.

Ottawa Beach, Mich, Aug. 9.-John-
ME Dew, an aeronaut of Grand Rapids.
met a terrible fate while giving an ex-
hibition here. His balloon had reached
a height of nearly half a mile when
the performer began his descent. His
parachute did not open for few Sec
onds, and when it did spread he had
gained such momentum that the sud
den resistance gave him violent jerk.
He slipped from the trapeze, and, hav-
ing no life line, was dashed to death
in the lake below. There was but one
foot of water where Dew landed, and
every bone in his body was broken by
the fall. Dew was but 10 years old.
This was the fortieth ascension he had
made during the last two years.
