A DISPATCH from Richmond TO q
New York republican paper says: "For
the first time 10 almost twenty years
there is 8 chance that the republicans
will carry the State In the Gubernstor-
isl election. Not only do many Of the
democrats acknowledge this, but some
express pleasure at the prospect, and,
while they will not vote the republican
ticket, they are determined not to be-
stir themselves to assist the democratic
nominees" People outside Of Richmond
are not surprised at anything that is
said or done 10 that city now. but for.
tunstely there are enough true demo-
crsts outside Of Richmond to elect the
State democratic ticket without the
aid OF such men as are alluded to In the
above dispatch.

ons of the boIdest yet made by
a republican President to break the
solid South and makes sure the
reports that an attempt Will Dc
made 10 that direction at the next ma

above quoted was made after the NAM
inc of ex-Gov. Jones of Alabama for q
federal judgeship 10 that State and after
Mr.. Hanna and the republican national
committee had selected Mr.. J. G.
Cspers, q son of Bishop Capers, as q
member of that committee for the
State of South Carolina. Mr.. McKin'
lev. who was one OF the shrewdest poll
ticians who ever occupied the presiden-
tisl chair and who never missed an OPP
uortunity to strengthen his party,
knew full we'll the power OF public
patronage, and used IL to the best sd-
vantage, and it ia believed that MS
"policy" in this respect will be fully
carried out by his successor. Mr.. Nc

The treatment of the people OF Chins
by the combined allies" is q disgrace
to what are called the Christian nations
and but adds to the force of the old
adsge that might makes right. Nc
one, or even two, of the great powers
would invade and fight China, but all
on a mere pretext, combined and would
have rended that unfortunate coun'
try had IL not been for fear that 10 30
doing these very nations would have
become involved in war among them
selves. Now, after looting China and
destroying and carrying of property
valued OF millions of dollars by
the invading armies. the "legation
guards" left there by the powers
are acting 10 the most reprehensible
manner, ss will be seen by the follow
ing dispatch from PekiD:
"The Chinese officials are considering
the desirsbility of protesting to the
foreign ministers against the conduct of
the legation guards. The soldiers con-
tinue to treat the Chinese like q con.
.quered people. Groups OF soldiers roam
about the city. wearing their side arms,
often intoxicated, maltreating the ma
tives and committing petty robberies.
A party Of Americans recently looted
silversmith's store securing several hun
dred tael's worth of property. The gov
ernor of Pekin has protested because
foreign storekeepers continue to occupy
buildings which they seized In 1900 re-
gardless OF their owners wishes. 1t is be-
coming evident that some modus vi.
vendi must be established or the condi.
Eions here will become intolersble. Not.
withdrawing the ministers policy Of
moderation 10 erecting defenses, the le.
cation quarter presents the appearance
of fortified city. The British defenses
opposite the imperial city are psrticu-
Isrly formidable; the Italian defenses,
adjoining the British. have embrasures
for cannon, deep moat protects the
German section, and across the city
wall the Germans have erected q stone
fort for artillery"
No other nation under the sun would
permit such a state OF affairs to exist
within her borders If she could help her,
self, nor would China. if she could do so.
