Rhode Islanders Desired to Vote for
Long or Do||iver--No Chance
Given Them.

The Rhode Island delegation to the
Republican National convention has re-
turned home,. or rather the majority
has, some of the members deciding to
remain In Philadelphia and the vicinity
for few days.
Gen. Charles r.. Brayton was at his
office in the Banigan building this
morning and was seen by News man

tion and position to be assumed In this

known that we went 10 Philadelphia

ability our first ballot would be given

cause he was a New England man, but
we had great desire to cast our votes

NO CHANCE FOR THEM.
"It was very evident, however. as
soon as the convention was called to
order, that neither Long nor Dolliver
would have an opportunity 10 nave tnelf

and as there was not thoislightest OBJ

OREGON AND THE NEGRO.

At the election in Oregon this month
the voters rejected the Constitutional
Amendment that was offered to wipe
out this section in it's constitution:
mo free negro or mulatto not re-
siding in this State at the time of the
adoption of this constitution shall
come, reside or be within this State,
or hold any real estate, or make any
contracts, or maintain any suit there
in; and the Legislative Assembly shall
provide by penal laws for the removal
by public officers, of all such negroes
and mulattoes, and for their effectual
exclusion from this State, and for the
punishment of persons who shall
bring into the State or employ or har-
Dor them therein
If the constitution of any Southern
State had such a provision, the Repub-
lican National convention would have
severely denounced it and made it a
national issue.

Mr.. John r. Morris has an excellent
article in Sundays Charlotte Obsery-
err showing that hate OF the South
was evidenced in every way in the re
cent National Republican Convention
from the selection of Lodge, of Force
Bill fame, as chairman, TO the infa-
nous platform that brands advocacy
of the amendment to eleminate the ne
gro from politics as revolutionary.
Mr. Morris has done a good service
by his letter. There is no place for
self-respecting Southern white
man in the Republican party as now
constituted, and no Southern man
who believes in White Supremacy
will vote for Mckinley, and Roosevelt

WILL DO IT AT THEIR PERIL

There is no room OF doubt that the
Radical bosses will, if they can, pre-
cipitate trouble between now and the
August election. In their purpose to
make race trouble they have two
hopes: ]. That it will help them to
carry the Legislature; 2. That it will
enable the Radicals in the North to
again wave the bloody shirt.
From time to time we have printed
the incendiary utterances of Fusion
orators; the attacks and assaults by
vicious negroes who listened to and
followed bad advice; and the general
bullying tone of the negro, mulatto
and white press and speakers Re-
Gently two CONSPICUOUS leaders, 1t.
Governor Reynold and Senator Franks,
are reported to have made threats
that they will secure United States
deputy marshals at the polls to arrest
any registrars who refuse to register
negro voters who cannot legally es-
tablsh their right to vote.
The time was when Federal mar
shals had a right at the polls in Con-
gressional election, but in 1894 the
law authorizing their presence was re-
pealed, and there is no law that au-
thoriZes their presence at thepolls
If they 90 there at all, they go as

poses to have fair election and to

negroes, imported negroes, and ne,
gro convicts who will be permitted

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
A GENTLE ADMONITION.
Philadelphia Times.

| There is an odor of foreign influence,
| especially English influence. about the
White House and the State Department
| that President Mckinley must abate lest
it become intolerable. 1t so tainted the
strument of all value to America and
| ate, controlled by the Presidents own
party, to approve it.
1t is apparently the same influence that
| has drawn the administration into its
present unfortunate unconstitutional and
| un American position with regard to the
| troubles in CHINA position from which
| the administration cannot recede too soon
No one will say that it would not be an
act of war were the United States to send
an armed force into Russia, France
England or Germany to shoot and kill
citizens of those countries on any pre-
text whatever. Is it any less an act
of war to send an armed force into China
simply because that unfortunate country
may not at the moment be in a position to
resent it? And an act of war done de-
liberately by the President is a declara-
ton of war so far as he can make it. In
other words, it is a usurpation of a pre-
rogative of Congress.
This is not a question of the duty and
purpose of the United States to protect
and defend it's citizens in their rights
wherever they may be. That we shall
do always to the uttermost, but we shall
first ascertain in a legal and orderly way
that the rights of our citizens have been
violated or are seriously menaced and
then we shall proceed to their vindcation
in the same dignified and lawful manner.
1t does not require proof but is a mat
ter of common knowledge that the great
powers of Europe mean to divide up
China among themselves. They have
| foster disorder there and stirred up the
present troubles as excuse for their
piratical purposes. We want no part in
| it, The whole scheme is contrary to all
our traditions and the genius of our Gov
eminent. The administration course in
this business is not only impolitc and
unwise, but it is unlawful. The war
| making power in this country is in the
people through their representatives in
Congress, not in the Executive.
This country is not Russia, nor yet an
adjunct of Great Britain.

GERMANS AGAINST MCKINLEY

The Chicago Democrats are wisely
showing to the German voters OF that
city, already up in arms against Nc
Kinley's policy of Imperialism, that
the Democratic party not only stands
against miltarism and imperialism,
but that it is ready to elevate able
men of German extraction to high
position. They nominated several
popular Germans on their State ticket
and endorsed Adam Ortseifen for Gov
ernor. In their platform they said:
''We adopt the loyal sentiments of
the North American Turnerbund, just
adopted at the golden jubilee funniest
at Philadelphia in the following reso-
lutions of that body, which we cor
daily indorse.'
Here are the resolutions of the
Turnerbund:
1--WE recognize the right of all peo-
pie to defend with arms of warfare
their liberty and independence. We
consider every attempt through the
methods of war, of territorial eXpan-
sion as opposed to civilization, as an
act of brute force.
I'VE condemn every effort to extend
the blessings of civilization with sword
and gun as one based upon hypOcricy
and greed for gain.
I'VE protest against the policy of
conquest of this government and
against every attempt toward expand
ing the domain of the United States
by force
The Turnerbund is in no sense a
political organization. 1t rejected
resolutions touching political sub
jects, but spoke plainly its adherence
of expansion by force. Many Germans
were driven from their homes by the
hard policy of militarism. They are
true Americans and love the American
policy that has prevailed an hundred
years. They are racially and earnest
ly opposed to McKinleys policy of i'm
perialism and will vote against it.
