STRENGTH OF DIFFERENT CANDl-
DATES.

With the convention close at hand,
it is interesting to note the strength
that the different candidates will
have before the st. Louis convention.
AS is well known, the two-thirds rule
prevails and it will require 664 votes
to nominate. 1t is conceded that so
far as present figures indicate no one
will be named on the first ballot un-
less there is change of sentiment.
Out of the uninstructed delegates
Parker leads with 2SS votes, while
Hearst has 16O. Some of the States
will favor a personal choice, and this
foots up to 162 votes. In this is in
cluded Missouri for Cockrell; Massa-
chusetts for Olney; Wisconsin for
Wall; Maryland for German; Della
ware for Gray and Ohio for Harmon;
The unrestricted delegations number
1874 votes. OF these $50 are claimed
by his friends for Parker, while 40
are allowed for Hearst. A recapitu-
lation would show the total vote on
the first ballot for Parker as being
518, for Hearst 200, for favorite
sons 1G2, uninstructed and doubtful
1O5.
Thus it will be seen that the con-
vention is in excellent shape to make
a good nomination. The large num-
Der of uninstructed votes surrounds

Would that we could attribute it to
political motives. Underlying it is a
feeling of hatred that the North bears
for the commonwealth that respect
ed the stars and the bars. That it
owes its inception to our President
there can be no question. His every
action has been attempts to force
race equality upon the people of the
South.
The campaign of 1904, we had
hoped, was to be conducted on a diff
ferent plane. While not together on
one great economic question, there
was room for honest difference re-
garding the same. How much better
it would have been to have allowed
the parties to meet and discuss the
issues in Il calm and impassionate
manner. Instead of this it means
that the South will again be compel
led to fight for their firesides and
families. Fortunately it will be a
battle of ballots and not bullets. The
twentieth century idea of civilization
will admit of no more bloody civil
strife. While the battle will be fierce
there will be no bloodshed, as moth
ing can be more effectual than a sig
nal revolution at the polls. Though
strongly entrenched, the Republican
forces are not so great but what they
can be overthrown.
The Democrats are now on the eve
of their convention. The next week
will tell us what our leaders have de-
cided is best for the party. The stu
alton today is the same as the drift
has indicated since the Bryan cam
paign of 1900. The party means
business and realizes the responsible.
ity that it must face. 1t is a critical
time, but we believe that there will
be men and measures to meet the
occasion.

TO REVIVE SECTIONALLSM.

1--WE favor such congressional ac-
ton as shall determine whether by
special discrimination the elective
franchise in any state has been I'M
constitutionally limited, and if such
is the case we demand that the rep.
resentatives i'll Congress and in the
electoral colleges shall be proper
tionately reduced as directed by the
Constitution Of the United States"
The above is taken from the Re-
Publican platform adopted at the re-
cent Chicago convention, and is the
most daring step that has yet been
taken by the Republican party to
force the race issue, since its organiza-
ton in 1859, if we except the dark
days of the Civil War and the sue
cecding time known as the Recon-
struction Period To those who
have followed the course ofPresident
Roosevelt, it occasions no surprise
since his nomination has been regard
ed as a certainty. All are perfectly
familiar with the recent actions that
have brought q storm of indignation
from those who have to confront
this problem in their daily lives. The
Indianola incident, the Charleston
appointment, the Booker T. Wash
ington occurrence and many other
Incidents of like nature are fresh in
the minds of everybody, and it is but
natural for Mr.. Roosevelt to insist
that the negro should be elevated to
the highest position consistent with
Northern ideas of public decency.
Some two or three months ago it
was stated that Mr.. Roosevelt de-
sired a negro to second his nominal
ton. The mantle of this high posi-
ton fell upon the shoulders of Harry
Cummings, representative of his
race. To the credit of the negro let
it be said that he displayed far more
sense in his speech than did the Re-
publicans who thus wished to honor
his kin. Escorted to the platform
and seized by the hand by Speaker
Of the House of Representatives Can
non, he was almost dragged to the
centre of the stage so that there
could be no question about his being
tile exposure of all eyes.
The action of the Republican con-
vention forever puts at rest the hope
expressed by the martyred Mckinley
that the North and the South would
again be banded together. This at
tempt to reduce representation where
the franchise of the negro has been
curtailed is a direct slap at every
white person south of the Mason
and Dixon line. In a measure it is a
revival of the feeling of the days of
the bloody shirt, and we need not be
surprised to find a considerable spirit
of sectionalism shown even in this
campaign by the more rabid Repub-
lican press and campaign orators.
1t is feeling that will grow as time
elapses, for the South cannot fail to
resent such action no more than it
did in the days of the Civil War.
With the vast majority that the Re-
publicans now have in both deliber-
ate bodies, it cannot be construed as
an effort to gain temporary power.

A Denial FROM SENATOR GORMo4N

A Denial FROM SENATOR GORMo4N
For some time past persistent ru
mors have been in circulation respect
ing the supposed attitude of Senator
German towards the candidacy of
Judge Parker. 1t has been said that
he, Col. Guffey of Pennsylvania, John
X. Mclean of Ohio and ex-senator
Smith of New Jersey, in company
with other prominent Democrats,
are scheming to withhold from the
New York jurist enough votes topre-
vent his having the necessary two
thirds in order to secure the nominal
ton. Through self.respect, Senator
German has found it necessary to
make an emphatic denial of this
statement, and in a recent interview
with Il representative of the Balti-
more Sun he disposed of the rumor in
an authoritative manner. He said:
"The persistency and regularity
with which statements of this char
acter have recently appeared would
seem to indicate a studied desire to
nlisrepresent me.
"The fact is that all the conferences
have attempted have related solely
to the proper organization of the
convention, which it is the duty of
members of the national committee
to consider. So far as am concerned
have not been a party to any ar
rangement for eflecting a combina-
ton to obstruct the efforts of any
candidate for the nomination.
"The Maryland delegates havenot
yet determined the course they will
pursue in regard to candidates atSt.
Louis and will probably not reach
any conclusion until after their arri-
val at St. Louis and after an oppor-
tunity to confer with the delegates
from other States"
In discussing the two-thirds rule,
Senator German called attention to
the fact that in no case since its adop-
ton had any nomination been pre-
vented when a candidate has had a
clear and undoubted majority of the
convention, and where the majority
is composed of delegates from Demo-
cratic states that have always con-
trolled the convention. The Senator
also expressed his perfect confidence
that the convention would adopt a
sound conservative platform and
nominate ticket which would COM
mand the confidence of the country
This emphatic denial should con-
vince every Democrat in the country
that Senator German is in no wise
using his high position for any selfish
purpose. In common with every
other Democrat, he realizes the fact
that the Democratic nominee, in or
der to be successful, must command
the respect of every Democratic
voter, and a nomination obtained in
any other manner would carry with
it complete defeat.

Details for the Democratic conven.

National convention and the dele
gates, each ofwhom are assigned three
extra tickets. The press of the coun-
try will be allowed 7O2 seats divided
into two sections, one for the work
ing daily correspondents who will
report the convention, and the other
for the weekly representatives. The
assemblage will probably be one of
the most notable in the history of
the present time, and the outcome is
being eagerly watched not only in
this country but throughout the
whole civilized world. In this con-
nection it can be said that much
more interest is taken abroad in our
general elections than what some
persons suppose. For months past
foreign papers have freely predicted a
strong fight between the Democrats
and the Republicans, especially if
Roosevelt was the choice of the lat.
ter. This being the case it remains
for the Democrats to put up a strong
man, which will bring about a con-
test of international interest.

MR.. ROOSEVELT AND THE TRUSTS.
One of the planks in the Republican
platform is the solemn declaration
against the unlawful moneyed COM
binations, or what is more generally
known as the trusts. For the Repub-
lican party to condemn these organi-
cations that have contributed and
will continue to give vast sums to
the corruption fund in order to elect
Roosevelt, is enough to make the
average voter smile. Intact, we cam
not accept it in any other than a
Pickwickian sense, and it will be so
regarded by the voters at large unless
they are blinded by partisanslnip.
The country has for some time past
been entertained by the efforts of
President Roosevelt to punish the
trusts of a particular nature. 1t is
true that two decisions have been
rendered that were detrimental to
these combinations, but it would
seem from subsequent events that
this was only play to the gallery.
Speaking of President Roosevelt's
fight againt the trusts, the Philadel-
phia Record says:
THAT the solemn efforts of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to wiring the necks of
the perfdious trusts should not be
taken very seriously need cause him
and his closest friends no particular
surprise. The spectacle of the Presi-
dent slashing to right and left in his
attempt to strike vital place in the
great corporations which assisted
him into office and which will renomi-
nate and re-elect him if his present
ambition be gratifed is so remarkable
that it is impossible for those who
would treat the matter with gravity
not to Singer in open meeting.
at may be that the President is
entirely sincere and conscientious,
but unless he is more Impractical in
political arts than we take him to be
he must realize how futile his present
contest is likely to be. He may per-
suade himself that he is performing a
sacred duty in moving against the
meat and coal trusts with weapons
made of wood and tin and in framing
Hypothetical laws to restrict the
operations of industrial monopolies
while Congress is not in session. No
one of those sage, practical politicians
who are promoting Mr.. Roosevelt's
interests as Presidential candidate
in 1904 is, however, in any wise de-
ceived. They all know that a Con-
gressional election, in which the tariff
and trust questions will figure to the
exclusion of practically all other
issues, is drawing nearer every day,
and President who is known as an
antitrust man is at the hour a con-
venient aid for the Republican mana
gers.
"Mr. Roosevelt seems destined long
to play the role of handy man. He
was nominated for Governor in New
York State because he had just come
home from Cuba with a military
record of obvious utility in saving
the Plat machine from threatened
perils. He was added to the Nc
Kinley ticket because he was New
Yorker and because of the popularity
he had gained i'll the Spanish war.
He now again seems to be the right !

MR.. GORMAN ATTACKED.

During the speech of the present
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives Cannon, occasion was taken to
score Senator Arthur P. German in
most vi gorous manner. Mr.. German
was held up to scorn by Mr.. Cannon
as wolf" and a bad man, and the
alleged folly of the people of this
countryin trusting themselves to the
leadership of "Wolf German" was
declared to be absurd. To the credit
of the Maryland delegation it can be
said that they did not join in the
demonstration that followed this TN
wonted attack upon one of our lead
ing public men.
The remarks by the chairman of
the Republican convention deserve
the scorn of every right-thinking per-
son in this country. Even the enc
mics of Mr.. German recognize his
ability as a statesman and leader.
In the highest deliberative body in
the world he occupies an enviable
position. In him there is confidence
which is not shared by the Demo-
Gratis alone. The Republicans who
have come in personal contact with
him have shown their respect on
numerous occasions, therefore it is
certain that Mr.. Cannon did not
represent the sentiment of his party
when he used such undignifed lam
guage in making a political attack
upon one of the most prominent men
of this country.
