Two Clear-cut and Well-defined
Issues.

: The St. Helena Echo, whose
Democracy is unquestioned, but
in the State primary contest sup
ported Jastremski, and is appa-
reutly "unreconstructed,' says,
in review of the platform:
"Here is the plank alluded to:
The Democratic party stands
pledged to the reduction of the
appointive power, by referring to
the people the choice by popular
vote Of officers now appointed
under the State government, in
so-far as such change of system
will not, as concerns particular
Offices, impair the efficiency of
the public service, affect the pub
lie credit, or jeopardize the future
success of the Democratic party.
"In the late State primary the
people raised and pushed to the
front two clear-cut and well-de-
fined issues. One was for just
and honest State primary election
law, and the other was for the
out-and-out abolition of the ap-
pointiye power vested in the Gov
ernor. Evils were growing out of
this that could not be condoned,
and the free and Independent
manhoodaof the State rose up to
make war against it. Of course,
they were called traitors and all
sorts of queer names, but this had
but little effect towards deterring
them. The above plank was made
and placed in the platform by the
dominant faction in order to sat
isfy public clamor, but we can not
refrain from saying that accord
ing to our thinking it might as
we'll have been left out. No one
can read it and come to any con-
clusion as to where the line is to
be drawn, and simple-minded men
life ourself are going to think,
whether they say so Or not, that
where it reads, 'or jeopardize the
future success Of the Democratic
party that if the trainers had
written what was actually in their
minds, it would have read Bosses
instead of Democratic party
"Let us hope, however, that in
the coming Legislature there will
be wisdom and patriotism sufi-
cient to heed the warnings given
by the people, and that conditions
may be so changed that the door
| of hope may stand wide open tc

Negro Candidate for President.

A convention of negroes is
scheduled for st. Louis. This
attraction is billed for July 9th,
1904. 1t is proposed to nominate
a negro for President of the Uni
ted States. This proposition is
ridiculous, but it may serve a
purpose. It is no doubt scheme
of shrewd negroes having more
dollars in mind than glory. The
negroes are good imitators; they
initiate the white man in all things,
why not in nominating a Presi-
dent?
