HENRY c. AGAINST NEGRO VOTE.

1t was our recollection that Henry G
Davis, the Democratic nominee for vice
president, made speech down at
Charleston few weeks ago, in which
he favored the acknowledgements of the
negro. and now we nave that recollec
tion refreshed by leading Democratic
authority, no less than the Cincinnati
Enquirer whose expression on the sub
iect, as incorporated in the following
clipped editorial from the Times-Star is
so plain that it can not be misunder.
stood, and which shows that this "dis.
tinguished" parsonage is one of the
greatest tumblers of the age, and in his
dotage should be holding a position in
some circus side show instead of trying
to run for vice president:
"Despite the absence of plank in
favor of abridging the States electorate
after the manner of the Southern States
it is apparent, from the proceedings OF
the West Virginia Democratic conven-
tion, that in the event that that party
is successful this fall in that State, that
step will be taken. Political necessity
alone dictated the refusal of the con-
vention to incorporate such plank in
its platform-it was feared that pledge
to such policy would ALLEVIATE votes in
other Northern States. The real senti-
ment of the convention was expressed
by delegate during the vote upon the
proposed plank, when he declared
''Monongalia county thinks yes but
votes mo- /"
But if it were not sufficient. the
statement made by the Enquirer in its
correspondence would confirm matters.
'"Three months ago. before Davis was
candidate on the national ticket, "
says the Enquirer "ile made speech at
Charleston favoring the Acknowledgement
of the negro in West Virginia, but,
fearing that the adoption OF such a
platform by his State might endauger
the national ticket in the Northern
States, he cxerted his influence against
such platform. and although the Reso.
lntions committee discussed the question
till o'clock this morning. it finally
came around to Senator Davis view of
the question and unanimously adopted
a platform in which no reference what.
ever was made to the negro question.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The platform adopted by the Demo
cratic state convention at Parkersburg
can hardly be called a platform at all.
Il Il not resolute declaration Of prin-
ciples or policies. but consists almost
entirely OF Illogical and unfcasible con-
demnations, desperate ratings and jeal-
ons obinrgations against the present
wise and successful administrator or
both the nation and, more particularly,
the state by the Republican party.
A particularly amusing feature of the
platform is that it paints the Democratic
party of West Virginia in immaculate
white and attempts TO besmear the Re-
publican record with lot of dark-col-
orcd mud. 1t holds the Republican
party solely and absolutely responsible
for all Illegal voting that ever mas been
or will be done in the state. As to its
own party's past record in that respect
it says not n word. It takes the view
that the Democratic party is pure and
holy and that not a suspicion Of re-
proach could be detected upon the
methods by which every vote has
ever been cast or will ever be cast for
the candidates of the Democratic party.
As to the tax reform in the state the
platform not only condemns the giant
strides made by the Republican party
to revise the olden system of taxation
to the most just and equitable forms
but rails against the whole system OF
state government which the people OF
the state have lived under enjoying the
blessings of life and liberty and of be-
ing governed by their own consent, since
the birth of the state, and makes the
rather absurd declaration that the Demo
cratic party should remodel the whole
thing. From the record of disastrous
mistakes which the Democratic party
has made in this state in the past and
which it tries to forget in its alleged
state party platform, such thing is
most terrible to contemplate.
Casting ont the ratings. obiurgations
imprecations, ieers and derisions of the
Republican party from the Democratic
state platform what is there left? Is
there any sta,rnch and resolutc declara-
ton Of principles? Is there any state
nent- OF suspicion of an inference what
the Democratic party would do in case
il got into. Office? The platform de.
clares that the Republican party is re.
sponsible for everything excepting right
and correct administration of affairs yet

The Democratic party of this state
held Henry c. Davis up as the father
of the tax commission bills in West vir.
ginia until he was nominated for the
vice presidency. They they sought some
one else to fill the bill IN that particular
and finally landed on John j. cornwell

NOT OUT 10 WIN.

The Democratic party Is one Of the
biggest aide shows we know of. I'll
seems To have no purpose. This year
this Is its faith. Next year something
else is it, belief. 1t changes not to suit
the times but switches around with
some thing it thinks VIII take with the
people 10 take it at its word. Nor does
it expect success. just what prompts it
to make these periodical exhibitions
none know. Certain it is not that it has
hope, for it plainly shows by its own
acts that It has none and that the pur
pose is not 70 try to win.
Take this county for instance. There
was, Democrats thought chance Mt
least to win, but along came the mani
pulators and self-appointed bosses and
spoiled that slight chance by nominate
ing the clique ticket. Since That was
done interest IN success has disappeared.
Democrats really do not want that
ticket to win, because OF the character
of the political organization behind it.
Then comes the state convention.
There was but one man in the whole lot
who was a candidate and so far as is
known ne was worthy of the empty
honor, but the bosses did not approve OF
him because he had not consulted them
and permitted them to say what they
should have and what. was to be his, if
they should win. He had properly pre-
scented his candidacy and the people
knew of it. There was no other candi-
date and the ringsters could find none
They spent week after week in confer
ence in and out of the state trying to
find candidate, but their efforts failed
They offered it to this prominent man
and that prominent man and a half
dozen others, but they were all too wise
and could not afford to take it. These
men knew they could not be elected.
They felt that this is not Democratic
year in this state and they did not
feel like being the sacrifice on the altar
to keep the party intact. But these
same fellows were at the convention good
and strong. aiding and afetting in tine
movement to select men for the sacrifice
but were unwilling to take those who
had announced that they were willing
to be the offering. Particular as to
their choice ever as to who should run.
they must even say who should be the
ones to be sacrificed. and it turns out
that some Of those who had been in con.
ference gets entrapped by his fellows
and is forced to the sacrifcial alter.
which all his confederates had declined
and rcbelled against.
