Now That Election is Over.

Huntsville Tribune.
Charles p. Lane. the Republican candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor, preferred
abandoning the stump in the late cam
paign to conflicting with the distirg uiSh-
ed head of the ticket upon the q,,estion
of ratification Of the late Constitution.
In Difference to the absolute neutrality
of the State platform on the subject of
the Constitution in the speeches we made
we treated it as res adjudicata and never
alluded to 1t directly or indirectly. On
the other hand Mr., Smith read Mr.. Bow
lie s reference to Charles =, Lane as an
honorable exception in supporting the
Constitution and then incidentally said he
would presume that Mr.. Bowie would
consider Bill Stevens as another honor
able exception. The comparison made in
our presence in Decatur and Huntsville
was to us grating and distasteful. but we
suppressed ourfelf and maintained a dig
nitied silence. we desire saying, we
supported the new Constitution from
start to finish we would do it again we
stated this fact before the Republican
Convention. The Republican party in
convention not only accepted the fruit of
that Constitution but climbed the tree
and with force knocked down every APP
pie the Democrats had left by absolutely
going beyond the letter and spirit of the
law and excluding from participation in
the Republican convention those who
were entitled to seats under the Consti-
tuition. With this action their pretended
opposition to the Constitution was not
only glaring inconsistency but was
grossly ridiculous. In an editorial. prior
to this convention, we demonstrated
against this unlawful act, we said, let
us politely request the negro to retire
and leave vote of his delegation to his
white associates, but if We resort to force
direct or indirect we constitute ourselves
a mob and out Herod II arod in our law
lessness. We did out Herod Herod. we
did go beyond the laws limit we dsre-
garded legal rights AS the nominee of
that Constitution we are estoped from
raising objection. We have cast the die,
crossed the Rubcorn and for one we do
not intend to turn backward, with us 1t
is on onward to the finish. We shall
maintain now the unlawful act. we adj
NIT its illegality, we are not fool, we
know the enOrmity of the offenSe md
for the sake of maintaining higher or
der of condition, a higher civilization,
purer, better party, we stand undismayed
by President Roosevelts action and say
without the least unkindness toward the
negro, this is n white mans government
and Caucasian hands alone shall hold
the helm of State. We intend to support
the Republican banner. but we do not
judice or disgraced by men who are will
ing TO do anything for Federal APP
pOintment. We can be a Republican and
make an honest living in private life We
came into this world a gentleman and
we intend to go out of it as We came in
hence we shall support right and high
principles and assail wrong in either
both parties.

Greater New York Returns IN
hesitaOngly to Democracy.
New York special to Louisville Courier
Journal
There is not much doubt now that New
York will go Democratic in 1904. All the
party wants is a good, strong man. The
Democrats up the State were opposed TO
Hill and did not like the coal plank. In
1904 there will be no Hill or coal plank.
On the whole the result in New York or
the country is not discouraging to Dem
ocrats, as 1t gives us a good fighting
chance in 1904. Mr.. Coler carried oyster
Bay, the home of the President.
The Republicans only held their own
today in rock-ribbed Republican States
like Pennsylvania and Ohio. They lost
in New York New Jersey, Connecticut
and Maryland. In the next Congress
they will not do anything with the trusts
or the tariff that will benefit the people
and in 1904 they will be swiped out, and
the personal popularity of their President
will not save them.
