THE HOUSE DEMOCRATIC.
Secretary Kerr Confident of-n Mt
jOrity of Twenty-Five.

Regarding the general political situa-
ton Secretary Kerr, of the Democratic
Congressional Committee, said last night:
THE drift OF sentiment is all our way"
said Mr. Kerr. land we cannot see any
thing but victory for both our national
and legislative tickets. The general sit
uation is improving all along the line.
The fight has been hard one, but we are
confident that We now have our Con-
gressiOnal districts in such shape that
We are absolutely sure of a majority of
at least twenty-fve in the next House.
Our campaign for the success of the
national ticket has been conducted in
dign:fed, but nevertheless an aggressive
manner, and. / honestly believe that Mr..
Bryan is sure to be elected. To those
who are not in touch with the real sit
uation, the true drift of sentiment will
seem almost incredible. Our advices from
all parts of the country indicate that the
voters who were for Mr.. Bryan four years
ago are for him now, and in addition there
are thousands and thousands of voters
who have deserted the Republicans for his
standard, and the tide is still rising

SENTIMENTS OF CARNEGIE.
His Attitude in February Regardini
the Burden Of War.

1.-THE attitude of Andrew Carnegie" said
a caller at Democratic headquarters last
night, recalls to mind an interview which
he authorized on February II, 1900. Mr..
Carnegie said:
e. The Philippine burden is not charge
able to war. This is the Presidents cwn
Pandora box, his New Year gift to his
country, for which he alone is responsible.
Neither Congress nor the people had any
voice in the matter. But one need not
wonder why he should now attempt to
evade the responsibility, since he tells
us that every red drop, whether from
the veins of an American soldier or a
misguided Filipino. is anguish to his
heart" His conscience smites him. No
wonder. The guilty Macbeth also cried
out, Thou canst not say l did it. F"
Whether the acquisition Of the Philip
pines was wise or foolish, they are upon
our hands, not by war, but by the Presi-
dents own act, and he had better stand
10 like man and assume the RESPONSE
bility, asking his countrymen to forgive
his mistake il he now sees he has made
one"

made by Mckinley. the speaker conceded.
but that promise had not been kept.
Referring to tie preceding speakers at
tack upon Senator Gilman. Mr.. Newsome
claimed that theparty was not responsible
for those who 'shose to join its ranks;
that the Democratic party was no more
responsible for Tilman than the Repub-
lican party was for Hanna, although Ham
ma was becoming responsible for the Re-
publican party
A lesson might be learned from the Ger
mans, whom NOD party owned, he thought.
Their attitude was compared with the
statement of Lemuel E. Quigg, who had
declared that the negro could not be driv-
en- from the Republican ranks with club.
The duty of the negro, Mr.. Newsome con-
ceived, was to vote for the Democratic
candidate in the interests of their own
race. Other speakers were Calvin K.

DUTY OF THE NEGRO.
A Political Debate mt the Second
Baptist COlorcd Church.

Baptist COlOrcd Church.
| At the Second Baptist colored church.
| Third Street, between and l Streets
northwest. the meeting of the National
Baptist Young Peoples Union was given
up yesterday to a debate on THE Duty Of
the Negro in the Impending Presidential
| Campaign" Thomas l.. Jones, colored
| lawyer of the District bar, discussed the
subject from a Republican standpoint, and
John T. c. Newsome, editor of negro
newspaper in Texas. made ten minute
| reply, assuming the Democratic side of
| the argument.
Mr.. Jones reviewed the history of the
| negro race in the United States through
| the days Of slavery to emancipation, and
| the enactment of the fourteenth and ff-
teenth amendments to the Constitution.
| For forty years. said the speaker.
| every enactment that has benefited the
colored race has been the instrument of
| the Republican party" He charged upon
| the negroes the necessity of not only
reading the platforms and listening to the
utterances of the two great political par
ties, but to observe closely the actions of
both. The issue of Imperialism was takes
up by Mr.. Jones. who severely criticised
! Senator Tillman. Democratic victory, the
speaker considered. would be vndica-
tion of oppression of the negro. He urged
! the negro to vote on platoons. struggle,
| contend, and fight. II necessary tc have
! their votes counted in the doubtful States
| for the Republican ticket.
| In his answer to the argument of Mr..
Jones. Mr.. Newsome stated that he real
! lied that he was on the unpopular side
of the argument as far as a colored audi
cnce was concerned. He was not an apol-
ogist, he said. and had no wish to defend
! those measures that had been taken
against the colored race. The Republican
party he urged, had had 1t within their
power to prevent the oppressive acts
against his race, and the Republican party
had failed to exercise that power.
The duty of the negro in the present
campaign, Mr. Newsome said, was to re-
buke that party which. having the power

party had snubbed the negro, and it was
the duty of the negro to snub the party
in return. 1t was the duty, the speaker
emphasized, to squeich the man who had

sages in the magazine article appearing

A DEMOCRATIC FORECAST.
Predictions on the Outcome of the
Campaign by w. j. Abbott.

campaign by ABDUL.
CHICAGO. Oct. 21.-A forecast on the
outcome of this campaign was issued
from the Democratic headquarters last
night. While Willis J. Abbott, head of
the Democratic Press Bureau. is given
credit for the Democratic predictions. it
is understood that they were at least sug-
gested by Chairman Jones. After locking
over the figures the latter said:
Il think that is a fairly accurate repre-
sentatior of the situation. If l were going
to make table it would not differ ma
terially from this one. l might put New
Jersey in the doubtful column. But l am
no prophet. Prophecy in political matters
is gift with which Mr.. Payne seems to be
endowed. and l prefer to let him do the
prophesying."
Mr.. Jones talked of the situation in New
York rs if he had unbounded confidence
that the Democrats would carry it for
Bryan. Here is the arrangement OF
States and votes that the Democratic
National Chairman endorses:

The visit Of Culton to the attorneys for
the commonwealth yesterday has caused
great deal Of talking on both sides, and
while the Democrats claim that he made
| a confession, the Republicans state that
he told nothing whatever about the

yond the importation of mountaineeers to
Frankfort. The attorneys decline to di-
vulge what really was brought out at the
meeting, beyond the fact that Culton was
in conference with them for several
hours. Twice today, this morning and
afternoon, Culton made short visits to the
hotel to see the attorneys, but nothing

MIR. BYNUM NOT CONFIRMED.
Declared That He Is Not a True
Democrat.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The senate
today failed to confirm the nomination
of Hon. W. D. Bynum as appraiser of the
port at New York because of the alb
sence of a quorum.
The nomination was debated at some
length, and was attacked by Senators
Jones (Ark) and Money, while Senators
Fairbanks and SpoOner spoke in Mr.. By
NUNS behalf.
The opponents Of confirmation based
their opposition upon the ground that
Mr.. Bynum is not a Democrat, although
nominated as such. They called atten-
ton TO the law requiring that four Of the
nine appraisers should be Of a party diff
ferent from the other five, and contended
that Mr. Bynum's appointment would be
contrary to law.
1t was replied that Mr.. Bynum had
been Democrat throughout his career
and that, even during the campaign of
1856, he had BEEN supporter Of Palmer
and Buckner, gold Democrats. 1t was
stated that Mr.. Bynum had resigned his
position at the head of the gold Demo-
cratic party in 1888
Replying, the opponents asserted that
Mr.. Bynum had taken the lead Of. the
gold movement in the Democratic party
for the purpose OF defeating Mr.. Bryan,
and they quoted 1affidavits from persons
who professed to have heard him say that
this was his reason.
