"The bitter denunciation OF Presi-

that section on great national issues
The preiudioes of the South are clear
ly too strong to permit partisan divis-
ions there on economic issues simply on
their inertia ia consideration of their
bearing upon southern prosperity ana

Yes, the "efforis Of any man who en-
tertains negroes at his table with nis
wife and daughters" to build up a party
in the South will be futile and the pref
udices OF the South are, and will con
tinue to be, too strong to tolerate socia
equality. Mr.. Roosevelt is President
OF the whole country and has no right
to outrage and trample upon the feel
ings and sentiments OF one entire SEQ
ton and If he believes for one moment
that he can change or blunt these feel
logs and sentiments by appointing few
men to Office he is vastly mistaken. To-
deed bis action 10 the matter alluded to

white man who should descend.
The same paper 10 closing its article
of defence OF the President gives utter
snce to q threat against the South for
expressing indignation OF the dinner
episode, aud says:
"There is already Impotence In the
north aud west over the extent OF the
advances made by Presidents McKin'
lev and Roosevelt to maintain the era
of good feeling in the South, and this
outburst over an episode personal to
the President and in it's political bear
ing not unfriendly to the southern view

Well, the people OF the South care
little or nothing for this ''lmpatience"
on the part of the north and west, and
assure those sections that the "era OF
good feeling" il 1t ever existed 10
those sections, may cease at once, II the
South, TO maintain it, must recognize

A DISPATCH from Richmond says:

1.-THE lack OF interest In the campaign
ia becoming matter of serious concern
to the democratic leaders and there is
less enthusiasm evinced than 10 any
Qubernstorial fight 10 recent years.
Every effort Is being made to rally the
people. From now on there will be
one of the largest armies OF speakers 90
the stump ever known 10 Virginia.
Congressman Swanson will probably go
on the stump next week. He will be
here with Mr.. Ellysou about bis ap-
pointments and to get in touch with
the leaders before he goes on the
stump. Mr.. Martin Is also expected to
throw his potential influence into the
fight, and he will probably make some
speeches. He has not often been heard
as political orator, but 1t Is said be
makes good speech"
1t is hoped and believed, now
that Senator Martin and Mr.. Swanson
have returned from Europe and will go
on the stump, that more interest will be
taken by democrats in political affairs
than has been shownn so far during the
campaign. The Norfolk convection did
all In its power to turn down" these &C
tive and hard working party leaders,
but the staunch friends OF these gentle
men who know their worth said OF the
time that their services would be badly
needed and gladly accepted by their
detractors before election day, and this
has come to pass. Messrs. Martin and
Swanson are active democrats and with
their friends for years have done the
hard work at elections, 30 the attempt
to ignore them in the State convention
was most foolish from q party stand
point. But being true democrats and
having the interest OF the State and their
party at heart they will again take an
active part in the campaign and their
work will be shown on election dsy.
The pendulum lie already swinging
their way again.
