~ IT. all well enough for Republi-
cans to manifest conf dence in the
ability OF the party to make a tri-
.umphant fight, into over-confdence,
which may result in feeling of Sc
.curity. Chairman Elliott Northcott
is sanguine Of carrying West Vir-
ginia for the Republican ticket by
$4,000 majority. Under ordinary
circumstances these figures would not
be extravagant, but If the faith is to
be kept it will require. some energetic
work to accomplish that result.
Following Chairman Northcotts
cheering prediction, we hear Of Con-
gresham Dayton down at Washing
ton telling President Roosevelt that
the State is secure for him, and af-
forwards saying to a correspondent:
There is no Republican disaffection
in my State, SO far as the National
ticket is concerned, and that may as
well be understood. The nomination
of Mr.. Davis for. second place on the
Democratic ticket will not add 100
votes to the ticket. People who are
skeptical about what we will do have
nothing to do but wait for November
and see the results. l put $4,000 as
our majority on the National ticket.
We have no desire to depress the
spirits raised by these optimistic
views, but we feel it duty to drop
a word or two of caution. AS the
Moundsville Herald says, it is doubt
full if such rose-tinted forecasts will
inspire as much effort on the part Of
the rank and file as would conserva-
tive and less optimistic predictions.
It's admonition is in line with what
the Intelligencer urged few days
ago when it declares what the party
needs from now on until the votes
are counted is hard, persistent work
on the part of every local Republican.
The party in West Virginia must face
and fight one of the most desperate
efforts ever made in this country to
Hrest State from the dominant par
y. Nobody can at this date count
he votes to be cast in November
md Republican workers should not
get such an idea in their head. Let
such an idea prevail and the par
llizinS effects OF over confidence take |
possession of the party and the re-
urns of the November election
night tell a story that would cause
1ntelligencer.

THE SOUTH AND THE NEGRO.

The 'Solid South" gives ISL cleo
toral votes. At least one-third of
that number is due to the fact that
the colored people are counted in
making the basis of representation.
If the colored vote is to be eliminated,
it is manifestly unfair for the party
which wants to throw il out to profit
by it. Count out the increase in the
electoral vote of the South by reason
of the negro population, and the Dem
ocrats could not possibly figure out
combination by which they could win.
Not a single one of these electoral
of the negro, has ever been counted
for a Republican President. 1t is
only fair to say, then, that had it not
been for the negro, Grover Cleveland
would not have been elected, and as
he is the only Democrat to fill the
Presidential chair, it is manifest that
the despised colored man has given
Democracy it's only representative in
the White House since the civil war.
Which party, then, has profited most
from the negro vote? Undoubtedly
the Democratic party has, and yet it
despises the black man and would
willingly deprive him Of the privi-
lege of the ballot. This is a subject
worthy of consideration by thinking
people.

RRYAN's VIEW OF NOMINATION.

81 have nothing to take back, have
nothing to withdraw of the thinqs
that | have said against the methods
pursued to advance his candidacy. 1t
was plain and deliberate attempt to
deceive the party. The New York
platform was vague and purposely
SO, because the advocates of Judqe
Parker were trying to secure votes
from among the people who would
have opposed his views had thew
known them The poo,i,,
ton was secured, therefore. by crook
ed and indefensible ethods."-Wil-

sRYAn's VIEW oF1PLATFoRm.

81 shall not misrepresent the situa-

upon false grounds. A Democratic
victory will mean VERY LITTLE, IF
ANY, PROGRESS on economic ques-
tons so long as the party is under
the control of the Wall Street eIe-

as prepared by Judge Parker's
friends On the subcommittee was

When Mr.. Dayton said the nominal
ton of Henry G. Davis would not add
100 votes to the Democratic ticket he
was not talking at random. He knows
all about the strength of the Davises

In his speech of acceptance Judge
Parker says he would be unable to
accomplish anything Of Importance
on account OF Republican Senate,
but still he would like TO be elected.
That is very worthy ambition, but
he is handicapped by being with the
wrong crowd.
