long as they can and they are having
notice served on property owners that
unless they put their walks in good
repair at once, the street commissioner
Will proceed to replace the walks and
charge it up against the property. The
move is good one and one that should
have been made before and we hope
that the council will not rest until every

Every Democrat must be In his
place on election day and vote and
he cannot afford to neglect that
duty, however bright the prospect OF
Democratic victory, or will neglect
that duty, If he realizes the dangers
to which we would be subjected by
defeat, as appears from editorial ex-
tracts In a late issue of the Richmond
Dispatch: Not since the period
when Virginia threw off the yoke OF
negro domination and burst the
shackles of political humiliation
which the Mortons, the Summers, and
the rest of the malignant brood OF
South haters and negrophilists fast
ened upon her, has there been more
necessity than there Is to-day for ad-
ministering a crushing defeat to the
Republican party. Theodore Roose-
welt, the political and social head OF
the Republican party, has created
that necessity. He has committed
an offence against sacred social law
in the South and a God implanted
instinct of the superior race, which,
if we do not bring under the seal
of unqualified condemnation and
reprobation, by an overwhelming
Democratic victory next Tuesday, is
pregnant with the possibility OF
political woe, and will tend to turn
us back nearly a generation in the
road OF peace and prosperity"

CZOlgOsz Electrocuted.

Auburn, N. Y. Oct. 29.-At 7:12:9(
O'Clock this morning Leon Czolgosz
murderer Of President William Nc
Kinley, paid the extreme penalty ex'
acted by the law for his crime. he
was shocked to death by 1,700 volts
of electricity. He went to the chair
in exactly the same manner as have
the majority of murderers in this
State, showing no particular sign Of
fear, but in fact doing what few OF
them have done-talking to the wit
nesses while he was being strapped
in the chair.
He was unrepentant to the last and
declared he was not sorry he killed
President Mckinley.
Says he did it because Mckinley
was "the enemy of the good people
the working people,"
The only sorrow he expressed was
that he had not been able to see his
father before his death.

The duty Of every Democrat to
vote next Tuesday was clearly shown
by Hon. w. A. Jones and Mr.. 8.
Gordon Cumming, in speeches made
at Accomac G. H., last Monday. The
remarks OF the former briefly sum-
med up were to the effect, that the
people had no right to complain OF
the administration of the affairs OF
the State under Democratic control,
as no State could show a better
record; that the Constitutional Con-
vention, called to correct certain
abuses, was doing its work we'll and
and no white man would be dis
franchised and that the Republican
candidate for Governor was totally
unfit to be entrusted with the Exc
cutive department Of the affairs of
the State. The latter paid his at
teItion mainly to Roosevelt and his
social equality views and no Demo
crat who heard him can hesitate as
to his duty on next Tuesday.

In this, the last issue OF the Enter

appeal too strongly to the Demo-
cratic voters of the Eastern Shore 10
be at the polls next Tuesday to cast
their votes for the nominees OF the
Democratic party. We urge them 10
do 80 not only because it Is tneir
duty to exercise this privilege Oh
freemen. but for the better reason
that at no period in the history OF
VIRGINIA has there been more at
stake to make them practice that
vigilance, which is the price OF iioer-
ty; and they need only to be REMIND
ed of the great questions to be passed
upon soon by our Constitutional
Convention to accept the statement
as correct. They must see, II those
questions have received from them
the consideration which they should
that the labors Of that body will have
been In vain IL by their apatny anu
indiffe renee the power is committed
to others to carry into effect the new
organic law to be framed by them
Antagonizing as Mr.. Hoge, the Re
publican candidate for Governor, ana
his henchmen would many changes
in our laws, proposed for the better
ment OF their condition, notably
that in regard to suffrage, no Demo
GRAFT can doubt that anything would
be left undone to defeat them or can
fail to realize the necessity of so vot-
ing az to avert that danger. however,
remote it may seem to them. The
fact even that the outlook for demo-
cratic success seems so good at pres
emit does not relieve us Of the duty to
be at the polls on election day The
situation may change for the worse
before that day and we cannot afford
to take any risk in the matter.
