DAVIS WON WITH "A
REDUCED MAJORITY

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. Gover-
nor Davis was elected to a third term
by a plurality Of 10000. Several other
state officers were voted for, but the
other democratic candidates had an
open field, Governor Davis alone hav-
ing opposition. Governor Davis will
run something like 10000 votes be
hind his vote two years ago, when the
total vote was 10000 in round num-
bers. This year there has been an in
crease Of 10000 votes and if Governor
Davis plurality is not over 10000 his
loss in the aggregate will be 10000
votes Myers, the republican candi-
date, will probably increase his vote
over two years ago not less than 10
600. Several counties have given re-
publican majorities, which heretofore
have gone democratic, but in the main
the county democratic tickets have
been elected. s

BALLOON A SUCCESS.

St. Louis, Sept. 1T. c. Benbow, a
Montana aeronaut, is the first man TO
sail an air ship over the worlds fair
aeronautic course. He made the trial
ascension today and demonstrated that
his machine was dirigible, but owing 10
scarcity of power, he was unable to
propel il without great difficulty against
the wind. The Benbow airship made
an ascension of from $50 to eco feet and
starting from the center of the course
sailed as far as the east gate before
descending. The descent was made in
a straight path and the machine was
then led back to the starting point. The
airship consists of cigar shaped bal
loon and an aluminium car. 1t has a
ten-horse power engine, run with hy-
drogen gas. The bag is about seventy
feet long and has six propeller blades.

wATsoN's BAD BREAK.

CANDIDATE TOM WATSON not
~ very long ago asked Judge Parker
a series OF questions regarding negroes
and how he would treat them. Nther
properly or Improperly We gathered
the inference that Watson desired to
pose as the friend of the negro. that
he wished the colored race TO UNDER
stand that he believed in at least par
tial equality between it and the white
race. We see now that we were en-
tirely mistaken.
watson does not believe in negro
equality. He is not lover OF the
blacks. On the contrary. we are now
inclined TO think he hates them with a
fierce hatred. Thursday Watson ar
rived at Houston. Tex. TO deliver a
speech. For some reason no committee
met him at the station. Perhaps this
was because enough Populists to COM
pose a reception committee could not
be found Anyway watson chartered
a public hack driven by a negro.
Before they started from the station
the driver asked him to admit another
neSScllStA " lLt NCilltit. w dlSOtl MdS
perfectly agreeable until he discovered
that the second passenger was a ne
gress. Thereupon he rose in his wrath
and smote the driver. Plainly Watson
is no negro lover. Governor Vardaman
OF Mississippi, probably the most rad
ical opponent Of the negro. could not
have conducted himself more discred-
itably. Watson is evidently an unfit
candidate for the presidency. No man
has a right to ask the power of con-
trolling others until after he has
learned to control himself.
However. we decline to worry about
the possibility Of Mr., WatsOn's cleo
ton. He won't get enough votes to
make any difference whatever to either
OF the principal candidates.
