BOONE COUNTY POLITICS.
Republicans SanGuine that They Will
Make Big Gains There.

largely attended meeting of the Re-
publican county central committee and
candidates on the Republican ticket in
Boone county was held in Lebanon Thurs
day afternoon. The precinct committee
men We're all present, and the most en-
couraging reports were received as to the
condition of the Republican party in that
section of the State. Boone county has
been singularly situated for the Repub-
leans in past campaigns. When the green
back craze swept over the State some
years ago the followers Of that particular
theory were as think in Boone county as
anywhere else in the State. and in the
evolution which has occurred since that
time there has remained a sufficient num-
Der who were impregnated with the Popu-
listic doctrine TO make them controlling
element. For four years past the Demo-
Gratis in that county have succeeded in
effecting a fusion, the result being that
the ''fusionists" are now in control of
most of the county offices, and in 1885,
when Bryan was the consolidated can
didate. Boone county gave quite a large
majority against Mckinley.
This year. however, the "Middle-of-the-
readers" have a ticket in the field, and
since Boone county, which is of the
best counties in the State, has shared
largely in the great prosperity which has
to learn that there is decided slump
I'm favor of the Republican party OF those
who tried the free-silver experiment four
years ago. The Democrats have made a
partial fusion with the straight Populist
element. but that is as far as they have
succeeded in going.
The Boone county Republican ticket Is
headed by ex-senator Castor for represent
alive In 1883 Senator Castor carried a
Democratic senatorial district by over 600
majority at the same time that Governor
Mount was elected 10 the State Senate. II
IL safe TO say that the $500 Republicans of
Boone county. united as they are, and ag-
gressive as they always have been. will
make a good showing for themselves i'm the
coming election. United States District At
torney Albert w. Wishard and State Au-
ditor William III. Hart were present at the
meeting. and these gentlemen give very en-
couraging reports OF the determination OF
Boone county Republicans 10 make ban
ner record this year.
The consensus or Republican opinion In
the county Is that Mr. Lands will poll
more votes than ne has in either of his two
previous congressional races. The reasons
assigned for this belief are, first, that Mr..
Cheadle. Mr.. Landis's first opponent. had

GURLEY BREWERS REPLY.
He Answers Pamphlet Circulated by
the Democrats.

Gurley Brewer, a prominent colored Re-
publican OF this city, has written a reply
TO the pamphlet circulated among the col
ored voters of Indianapolis, entitled An
Appeal TO the Negro Voters" The PAM
phlet, IL Is claimed, is being sent out by
the Democratic state committee. Mr.. Brew
er takes up the different propositions in
the pamphlet and replies to them. One of
the propositions set out is that 1.-The negro
In Indiana holds the balance of political
power IL his vote were only an independent
one"
In response to this Mr.. Brewer remarks
Now. what does il mean to be independent
In politics? III the word has any practical
significance at all it means the refusal to
acknowledge allegiance to either of the
great political parties OF the country. If a
refusal to vote the Republican ticket, to
indorse the Republican doctrine, to sup
port republican candidates is an evidence
OF independence, then the Democrat is a
great deal more independent, because he
has been at 1t a great deal longer. To be
a negro Independent is 10 be a Democrat.
There Is no difference whatever"
In concluding his remarks Mr.. Brewer
says: The time has not come, my colored
Republican friends, when it is safe to with
draw from the hands of the Republican
party the power which for years you have
intrusted to Ii. 1t is a question which we
must regulate and decide as we do all
other questions; must determine what
men will do in the future by what they
have done in the past"

appointed by the State Medicai BOARD OF

do 1t because they love the party too
we'll to see it fail.
Don't be too exacting in requirements.
Don't burden the party with any more
Endorsements than are absolutely nee
essary This is the reason we are OBJ
posed to making the proposition to
amend the Constitution by q conven-
ton. II party measure.
Let us say to such as favor the prop
osltion above referred to, and are try
ing to make it q party measure, that
they are taking an unfair advantage
of their brethren who do not favor IT..
Let us say, Furthermore. that we do not
believe that any honest man would
want to force his PERSONAL CON-
VICTIONS upon a majority by any
trick or ruling of convention. II a
majority favor the proposition. 1t will
receive the requisite number of votes
make no mistake. Then. why do our
ardent friends wish to make it a party
measure, but to force persons honestly
d:sagreeing with them into their side,
thus creating dissatisfaction.
We trust the party will go slowly in
burdening the shoulders of the party
broad though they be, with an addi-
tional and unnecessary burden. If the
majority want it, it will be voted for.
In passing, we might advert to the
scare-crow objection raised that Of
FICE-HOLDDRS are not in favor of
the proposition being made a party
measure. This is such complete bum
combe that it is hardly worthy of con-
sideration. If there ever was a State
completely in he hands of officeholders
and politicians Virginia is. If there
ever was O party dominated by the
same persons. 1t is the Democratic par
ty of Virginia For. what does one
Surely not against their own interest!
These gentlemen will make such
changes as best suit their purposes
call it constitution-and make the
people live under 1t for all time to
come, without giving the people a
chance TO vote against 1t. Just fix it
so that the people can have q whack
at It, after the politicians get through,
and the Virginian-Pilot are with you.
We would like to have some assur-

WHEN NEW YORK GETS PIoUS.

The rest Of the country. what
little there is of 1t, Will not
be disposed to regard with over
much seriousness New York S
latest agony OF virture. That unwie,dly
municipality has suffered them too Of
ten and too briefly before. It has be-
come an old story, stale as one of last
years coon" songs. There is n great
public outcry, an immense expanse of
pictures and headlines in the yellow
newspapers; the militant form of DR..
Parkhurst looms for one thrilling mo-
mcnt amid the smoke and luridness-
and then the dives and music halls re-
sumo the mastery of the situation and
vice goes on the even tenor OF its way
This time New York began TO reform
itself by being shocked at "Sapho." 1t
was a nasty enough play beyond
doubt. 1t had little to apologize for it
in the way of art. 1t was merely nat
tness with n few stage frills and fur
bellows. The "ycliows" went into par
oAyisms. that proved infectious.
and for n fortnight all New
York shriekcd and suuawkcd-and tried
to sec the play. Then the police rang
down the curtain.
This. however did not appease New
York's hunger for goodness. 1t had
contracted bad case of that virtuous
feeling, and was tlckled with the now
city of 1t. Attention was called to the
dozens OF other plays running nightly
to which "Sapho' (bad as it was) was
clean and healthy. And so, spurred on
by the threat of the District Attorney,
the police are regretfully raiding the
Tenderloin, while the rest of New York
gives It's conscience congratulatory
pats, and hopes that some time the
rest of the benighted world may emu
late its pious example.
Meantime, the rest of the world has

1T WILL BE BAD POLITICS.

Aside from the principle involved in
the opposition to the amendment of the
State Constitution by a. convention.
there Is a matter of policy that the
party may have cause to regret by too
much meddling and in taking too much
responsibility upon itself
The Democratic party should let ii
severly alone as party measure.
There are some Democrats in favor of
amendment by a convention, and some
as strongly opposed to It, Each side is
going to fight hard for It's particular
convictions. and with equal conscien-
tiousness.
Why. then, should one faction of the
party undertake TO throttle the
other. and force them to sun.
port the proposition of amend
Ing the Constitution by con.
Svention, by making 1t party measure? ?
Thisis not right. 1t Is bad politics. and
liable to engender bad feelings, and a
rupture in the party lines.
The late Senatorial campaign stirred
up some very disagrceablc thoughts
amongst Democrats. Let us profit nv
the past, and make no more false steps.
The party has had easy victories in
the past few years; but this Is no guar
antee for the future. Disaffection may
sset in at any time, particularly if the
party. asa party, ENDORSES matters
upon which there is an honest differ
