WITH the South African republics a
their struggle for independence and
self-eovernment under republican
forms, and was introduced by q Re-
publican and seconded by another Re-
publican. Every Democratic member
voted for 1t. But only four Repub-
lican votes were added to those Of the
mover and seconder. the other 81 Re-
publicans voting solidly against and
defeating it. The few Republicans who
favored the resolution represented
large German constituencies. Other
wise the party lines between the
Democrats and Republicans in the
lower house were tightly drawn On
the question of sympathy for the Beers
in their fight against British imperial
aggression. 1T is apparent" says the
St. Louis Republic, commenting on
this vote, that the same imperial
spirit in the Republican organization
which urges this government to aban-
don its principles of democracy and
liberty and embark upon a career of
foreign conquest and colonization also
causes this approval of the British
wal for the overthrow of the two lit
tie South African republics"
The Republic adds:
This is consistent, Of course-robber ma
tons must stand together-but 1t is a spirit
full of the most ominous menace to a free
Republic such as ours. 1t is not strange
tina truly patriotic Americans should be
dismayed that such a spirit is possible
to Americans. 1t is eminently natural that
foreign-born citizens, h learned in the
Old World the. evils 81 imperialism and
militarism, should see the certain malign
result of their Incorporation as American
policies.
"The American people must this year
make a definite choice between the land
grabbing and liberty-crushing spirit of
Great Britain and the genuine American
ism which forbids US to deny liberty to
any other people or to govern any race
without the consent of the governed. This
choice Is forced upon the country by the
surrender of the Republican party to Brit
ish influence. 1t will be amazing if there
is any hesitancy on the part of Americans
in standing true to those fine principles
Of liberty and Justice upon which their
own government was founded and grew to
greatness"

Democracy Won't Object.

FdlrmOnt index
The Board of Directors for the Hospital
for the Insane at Weston adjourned their
recent meeting without e~lecting a Superin-
tendent to succeed DR.. Stathers. The re-
suit of this will be to continue DR.. Stathers
until the next meeting, which takes place
in April, at least, and many think that
he will be reelected. Considering the
damaging testimony taken before the
Board during It's late examination into
Stathers's conduct, this action of the Board
is considered remarkable, but from a po-
litical standpoint, the Democracy need not
object.

A Strong Candidate.
weston Democrat.

Hon. Andrew Edmiston, of Weston, will
doubtless be a formidable candidate be-
fore the next State Democratic convention
for the ~gubernatorial nomination. There
is 10 denying the fact that Mr.. Edmis-
toms boom for Governor is increasing and
growing stronger all the time. Many of
the leading paper of the State regard him
as the most available candidate that can
be nominated and refer to him in a manner
that seems to make it certain that he will
be a strong factor in the convention that
will select Governor Atkinson's successor.
Mr.. Edmiston is indeed a strong guberna-
torial possibility, and a gentleman whom
the Democrats of Lewis county would be
truly glad to see honored with the nomi-
nation.

THE ORGAN oRNEREp


In another column will be found an
other open letter from Hon. A. s.
Johnston, Of Monroe county, to the.
Intelligencer. concerning the ill-con-
sidered charges uttered by that organ
against the County Court Of Monroe
in regard to the recount of ballots
cast at the last election. Mr..
Johnston's second letter is a high
ly interesting and conclusive though
brief answer to the organs unsup-
ported charges against the County
Court of Monroe of "atrocious corrup-
tion," which the organ repeats, par
rot-like, though it fails to give the
proof for which Mr.. Johnston asked.
The Intelligencer, in it's tardy reply
to Mr.. Johnston, claims that the
County Court of Monroe Changed the
rule in the recount to favor the
Democratic candidate. Mr.. Johnston
Ashows this is untrue. The County
Alrt did not change the rule, and
nee could not have favored the
Johnston shows that the Circuit
Eout, to which the recount was TAX
zen, a court presided owe by Judge
|McWhorter, a Republican, DID change
the rule consistently followed in count
ing all but the last district and there,
under the change, counted for the
Republican candidate ballots which
gave him a bare plurality of four.
1t was not the County Court of
Monroe, but the Republican circuit
judge who Changed the rule" Which
shows that the organ is either DELHI
erately untruthful or ignorant of the
facts.
No Democrat has accused Judge
McWhorter of ''atrocious corruption
! or ayerred that he was improperly in
enced, and Mr.. Johnston again
Is upon the organ to withdraw it's
famous and unsupported charge of
atrocious corruption" against the
Monroe court. 1t remains to be seen
+ our neighbor will voluntarily DO
this simple act Of justice to honorable
officials whom it has ~viciously bounded
for purposes made plain by Mr..
Johnston, and with which the people
were made acquainted during the last
session of the Legislature.
the Supreme Court and shows the in
sincerity and sharp practice of the Re-
publican attorneys and leaders to serve
their Interior purpose. All of which
vas confessed by the final DISPOSE
ton of the Monroe case, which, as
Mr.. Johnston says, was trumped up
solely for temporary stage effect in
order to carry out the theft of the
s~enatorship. Indeed, it was acknowl-
edged by the Republicans themselves
that there was neither fraud nor ir-
regularity in the Monroe court.
The Intelligencer is simply far be-
hind the case, and seems utterly ig-
norant of the facts. And having
! started wrong, for dishonest parti-
san purposes, it refuses to get right or
to do justice in its columns to Demo-
Gratis, although they have been off,
cially indicated in the courts and by
the Republican members of the Legis-
lature.
The organ is now given another
opportunity to publish the truth,
and it remains to be seen If it is
capable of doing this act of simple
Justice which common decency should
dictate, and If it has the manhood to
voluntarily withdraw its absurd. un-
supported and slanderous charge of
aatrocious corruption" against the
County Court of Monroe.
