POLITICAL sUMMERsAULrs.

The Messenger has often called at
binary inconsistencies and fiops of Nc
Kinley. Some one should prepare a
careful list Of his capers on the politi-
cal slack-rope. He has a secretary
named Gage, who poses as a financier.
He is now trying to back up his par
tvs last, newest, most improbable
dodger, that if Bryan is elected there
will be a change of financial policy and
gold will have a great set back.
There is scarcely the shadow of a shade
Of possibility that this can occur in five
years. We don't believe that Mckinley
or Hanna or n level-headed repub-
lican POLITICIAN credits IL in the least.
But in their desperation they r be-
ginning to play this card and Gage is
~fatuous and laundering enough to
catch on and try to make their coun-
catch on and try TO maxi the country
believe in the probability of a change
Of currency in case Mr.. Bryan is elect
ed. 1t is a simple, d~isingenuous con-
tribution to swell the volume of preten-
ton n deception. The able Balti-
more Sun is 4 pronounced advocate of
h gold standard. 1t knows of the du-
plicity Of this acrobatic financial
Gage. and we give a part because of its
exposure OF a low trick to deceive. 1t
says:
1T is now Gage VS.. Gage. Some
weeks age the secretary of the treas
ury stated in an elaborate review Of
the gold standard bill enacted at the
last session of congress that it was a
complete and satisfactory measure;
that as long as it remained on the stat
ute books the finances of the country
could not be placed upon a silver basis.
In an interview printed yesterday by
administration organs throughout the
coUntry-an interview approved by the
president, it is said-Mr. Gage reverses
tended to be alarming, about the terri
bic things a silver president could do
to our currency system. Mr.. Cages
reversal of the deliberate and conclu-
sive statement he prepared a few
on the part of the republican leaders.
They are afraid to conduct the cam
palgn on the most important issue be-
fore the country. and their only hope
Is in a revival of the scare abou the
currency"
Gage is quite a MON for Nc
kinley as a record forgotten, as we'll
as a political ground and lofty tumb-
Ter in the republican ring.

STATE PRESS.

The necessity for the elimination of
n ignorant negro from politics was
made more necessary by the action of
the Mckinley administration. in APP
pointing negroes to office, than any
other circums lance, and now to be
asked to hold up after having dis
franchise the illiterate negro and to
sit complacently by n see him elect
ed to office by the same party and ask
ed to shut our mouths to accept the
perpetuatiOn of this evil seems to us
as asking that we be satisfied with
what We AVE done, regardless of the
end in view. Nor do we regard it as
a revival of 1.-The race ISSUE" a display
of race prejudice" or "a campaign of
hatred to the negro" Rather, it is
the completion of al imperfect job
perfect so far as it goes, but imper-
feet in not striking at and roofing out,
as far as in our power lies, the elimi-
nation OF the negro from pilitics,
except so far as granted him under the
provisions of the constitutional amend
ment. Finish the job at this, the OPP
perfume time, rather han lave the
whole ground to fight over again. This
can best and more certainly be done
by voting for VIM. J.. Bryan, upon the
issue that no negro need apply for ed
eral office at the south any more than
at the north.-Durham Recorder.
It should not be forgotten hat the
republicans did everything in their
power to defeat h amendment, and
that they are To- threatening TO re-
taliate by curtailing our representation
in and h electoral college.
At no time in its history has the ma
tional republican party been more OF
a negro party thar it is now, and if if
had the power il would tomorrow turn
over every state government in the
