IS THE CHARGE sUsTAINEDs

For a Republican newspaper, referr- ing to Democrats, The Hartford Cour-
 ant is generally fair and just. but the
 following from a recent issue, under
 the heading, Stop and Consider" Is
 hardly either fair or just:
 We invite Southern gentlemen who are Democrats In their politics. to stop
 and consider. The gentlemen Of the
 South have an age-long reputation for
 chivalrousness toward women; Are making common cause, for mere par | tisan reasons, with a fellow whose printing press some months ago vom-
 ited insult, too vile for reproduction in
 decent newspaper. upon the grave of
 President Roosevelt's mother.
 The President is Republican, yes;
 he once broke bread with Principal Booker Washington. yes; he shut the Dr. Crum. yes: politics is politics" yes But, gentlemen of the South, howsoever much you may dislike the
 President. can you afford even to seem to take the ground that public, black guardly insult to his dead mother is
 permissible Southern Democratic poll itics?
 time used offensive,language about the
 mother of Roosevelt. The Advertiser of course has no defence for him. but has The Courant any assurance that he did so, or that he was directly or indi-
 rectly responsible for such language, If it was printed? We know that he has emphatically denied it. and we have not yet seen any traverse of that de- nial. We are not affirming that no such abusive and insulting language
 was printed in a newspaper owned, or partly owned, by MT. Vardaman, for
 we have not read the paper in ques-
 tion, and do not know what was in 1t. We have the Governors denial, and if
 The Courant can bring up the evidence that he was guilty of the grave charge the Presidents supporters are making
 it should do so and not condemn him without proof. We can assure our con- temporary that Southern gentlemen who are Democrats are just as chival- rous towards women as they ever were and none of them would think of de- lending or excusing an insult to a good
 woman. At the same time they are as
 little given to endorsing such a charge
 as The Courant brings unless there is
 proof to sustain it.
 Let The Courant. also, stop and con-
 slider.

Democrats Enthused by Report of Good
 Asbury Park Special to Philadelphia Record.
 A deal of enthusia sm characterized the meeting here today of the New
 Jersey Democratic Committee and the outlook reported by the members from
 every one of the counties for the elec-
 tion of the candidate for Governor, for
 a gain in the Congressional represen-
 tation and a majority for Parker and The committee fixed Thursday, Septem- Der 15, for the State Convention to nominate candidate for Governor and
 Presidential electors. The convention
 will be held in the State Street Theatre Trenton.
 A feature of the gathering today was
 an address by former Senator James
 Smith. in which he urged united effort | ting past differences and pulling all
 together. to bring New Jersey once
 more into the fold of Democratic States. File said this could be accomplished if
 everybody got down to work in earnest
 and if there was honest generalship. He said the National ticket suited all the
 voters of the party and a good many Republicans who are not so well suit ed, and that it would not be very hard to win If the vote was gotten out. It was decided to name committees to attend to the details of organizing
 clubs in all parts of the State for ef-
 feetive campaign work. This effort
 will be pushed into every section and
 no pains spared to thoroughly organize the party in every county. It was pro-
 posed that there should then be grand | rally of the clubs in Asbury Park or | some other central point for a signal opening of the campaign.
 l Philadelphia Record.
 Republicans would be thankful If | they were half as sure of carrying the | Congressional election as they pretend
 to be- Congressional elections are
 more representative of public sentiment
 than Presidential. and, therefore. l Democratic chances are far better in
 Congressional than in Presidential elec-
 tions. In 1888 President Cleveland
 was defeated. though he got more | popular votes than Mir Harrison did. l But the complexion of the House is | pretty certain to be that of the coun- | try Democrats carried the Congress
 sional election in 1874, 1876. 1878. 1882, | 1884. 1886, 1890 and 1892. Republicans | carried the elections from 1894 to 1902 | only because the Democratic party has l been divided in these later years on
 the coinage issue; but 1t is divided no | longer.
