THREAT OF THE REPUB
IICANS.
New Crussde Aeaaast the South q
Mensce to Northern Capital.

mot content with having nominated
candidate who had taught by his
personal example the pernicious doc
tri1e Of social equality between the
Anglo-Saxon and the African races,
the Republican party has gone still
further, and as il bent upon the mis-
chievous design Of aggravating racial
antago1ism, it has deliberately pro-
claimed its intentions to reduce the
representation OF certain states in Con-
ress and in the Electoral College, be-
cause the people of those states will
not consent to be represented by ig-
nocant and inferior men. The Repub-
Mean party has committed many grave
mtstaasss during the fifty years of its
existence, but doubt II it has COM
nnitted any graver one than this new
crusade against the South.
do the men who made and who
adopted that platform not know that
IL their threats should be carried into
execution the South would not be the
only sufferer. 1t would, OF course, be
the most immediate and greatest suf-
ferer, but not the only one. Do those
men not know that this country is SO
closely and 30 firmly knit together that
the whole must suffer from every in
jary inflicted op any part. AS GER
tain as the humA head feels the effect
of wound on the human foot, just
that certain must every state in the
Union feel the effect of disturbance
In the smallest and remotest member
of it. But even If the South could be
isolated from her sister states and
made receive this blow alone, the con-
sequence Of it would extend to all who
have property located among US or
who sustain trade relations with us.
do net the advocates Of this irritat-
ing policy know that the millions In
vested in Southern railroads are prac-
tically all, except the foreign holding.
the property of Northern and Eastern
men; that many Of the millions which
constitute the banking capital Of the
Southern states have been supplied By
enterprising bankers OF this section,
and that many of the factories which
fill our land with the hum Of new and
busy industries were built with North
ern money and are owned by North
ern men?" EFrom Senator Bailey's
speech in Brooklyn.]

ROOSEVELT AND LYNCH
LAW.
Senator Bailey ABsaigns President
for His Views on Mob Violence.

IF there are among us men who
Justify the lawless spirit which some
times expresses itself ia public lynch
ing they could not find in all the range
Of English literature a more pointed
and complete defense Of such conduct
than has been furnished by the Re-
publican candidate for the Presidency.
Long before the dream of the chief
magistracy Of this country ever en-
tered his brain he devoted himself to
the more pleasant but less pretentious
task of writing books, and in work
which he calls Ranch Life and Hunt
ing Trail he thus records his approval
Of the mob
"'During the last two or three years
the stockmen have united to put down
all these dangerous characters, often
by the most summary exercise OF lynch
law. Bands OF horse and cattle thieves
have been regularly hunted down and
destroyed in pitched fight by parties
OF, armed cowboys, and as a conse-
quence most of our territory is per-.
feetly law-abiding.'
cit is one of the interesting oddities
of the Presidents mind that he can
contemplate with equanimity, a coun-
try made perfectly law-abiding by the
unauthorized and unlawful warfare Of
the mob against the outlaws. The
President then adds, as if relating to
a commonplace incident, this mild
statement: "A little over two years
ago one committee Of vigilantes in
Montana shot or hung nearly sixty
not. however, with the best judgment
in all cases.
"In his work, entitled Winning Of
the West the President asserts that
good men in such cases band them
selves together to put down with ruth
less severity by the exercise of lynch
law the worst offhand. In many cases
of lynch law which have come to my
knowledge the effect has been health
full to the community
Anu III dHoIHeT pidcc lAc AeoiooAs
rather defends the people of the border
community for lynching horse thieves:
Il rejoice to know that whatever
may have been done and said in the
Southern states which thoughtless men
cannot indorse, it has never happened
among us that any man with intel-
ligence enough to write book or with
character enough to command an cleo
ton to an important Office has ever
justified lynching as a punishment for
theft" [From Senator Bailey's speech
in Brooklyn.]

ORDERED TO KILL FIVE MEN.
ST. Louis Russian Bent on Numbering
the Fat and PROSPEROUS.

81. LOUIS Russian Bent on numbering
the Fat and Prosperous.
Chicago, June Abel Gabiniska, a
Russian. was arrested last night after
he had attempted TO shoot a man
named Frank Adams. whom he had
never seen before. He made a desper-
ate fight against being arrested and
fired several shots at the policeman
who took him to the station. He de-
clared after being arrested, that he
had been sent to Chicago by a society
in st. Louis with instructions to kill
fat and prosperous looking men," A
paper found in his pocket contained
the names of Mayor Harrison and Al
derman Honore II. Palmer. He would
not admit that he intended to assassi-
nate these two, but said his instruc-
tions made it necessary for him to kill
five fat and prosperous men," 1t can
not be definitely ascertained whether
the man is demented or an anarchist.
The police, however, are of the Opin-
ion that there is some truth in his
story.
