The Northern fanatics and lovers of the
negro at very long range, are constantly
talking about depriving the South of its
representation in the United States House
based on the negro population, and be-
cause the South is moving to eliminate
the illiterate negro vote. 1t is fact
that as illiteracy mas decreased among the
negroes criminality has increased also.
This shows that among the more vicious
and vagabondish negroes the education
received has only increased their ability
TO indulgency in and love of criminality.
There are many Northern States that APP
ply an educational test for voting. Repre-
sentative Hardwick lately stated in the
L. S. House that there were distractions
to illiterate voting in Ohio, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Connecticut Maine, Ore
gon, California, Wyoming and Idaho.
What is all right and proper up there
becomes all wrong and improper when
applied in the South. Mr.. Hardw:ck said
that higher education untitled the negro
for work, that it gave him an ambition
too high to be realized in the South or
elsewhere, calling attention to the laws
of number of States.

LIMA, Ohio, Oct. 1.-The Democratic

presence of large and enthusiastic
crowd from all over the state. The
principal speaker was Charles A.

were James A. Kilbourne, Of Ohio, and
Edward MacGregor, of Pittsburg. May
or Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland, was
among the notables present. Two hum

James H. Kilbourne was chairman.
Mr.. Towne predicted Democratic
victory in New York in November and
said he believed West Virginia was
safely a Democratic state. All Demo
Gratis had united on the st. Louis plat
form and candidates and it was COM
bination that invited their support, the
speaker said. OF the campaigns OF
four and eight years ago relative 10
the money question, he said that the
party fought honestly for the issue OF
free silver. The party may have made
a mistake in the prescription, but none
was made in the diagnosis. The mil
itary budget of the United States was
said by the speaker to be as large as
that of some European countries. A
return to constitutional government, he
said, was the paramount issue of the
present campaign.

New York Outlines His Policy

N. Y, Oct. 1.-Justice B.
4Gady Herriek, of this city, Democratic
nominee for governor, and his asso-
ciates upon the Democratic state ticket
were formally notified of their nominal
ton here today. The ceremony was
attended by several hundred prominent
Democrats from New York city and
other parts of the state.
Justice Herrick announced the policy
he would pursue if elected governor.
He would advocate a reform of the
ballot laws of the state; endeavor to
bring about some measure Of reform
which, while. protecting capital, fairly
would secure to the wage Garner his
Just demands; try to bring about some
reform in those provisions of the eX
else law which he declared both en-
courage the creation and afterwards
protect Immoral houses in the larger
cities. His administration would aim
to decrease the expense. of the state
and remove the taxes upon deposits

carefully safeguard the expenditures

Brill an order for a recount of the
vote.
Couched in the usual form the order
from the court directs that City Clerk
Redington and County Auditor Krah-
mer appear in court Saturday and
show cause why the votes should not
be recounted, and at that time the
referees will doubtless be appointed.
Gregory gave bond for $3.50 to secure
the costs incident to the contest.
Gregory recites in his petition that
he has reason to believe that the return
of the canVassing board, which shows
that Lemon received 676 votes as COM
pared with GIG for Gregory, is due to
fraud, mistake or inadvertence on the
part of the election judges, and that
because Of the fraud perpetrated in
some of the precincts in the count of
the ballots a recount will show that
Gregory is really the nominee Of the
party.
1t was known that Gregory has be-
lieved since the announcement Of the
outcome was made that his apparent
defeat by six votes was due to Inanip-
ulation. but the open charge that such
was the case promises to arouse con-
siderable antagonism in the Second
ward among the Republicans. Greg
DRY espoused the cause of r. G. Dunn
in the primaries, while Lemon was
with the Collins supporters, and was,
in fact, in the campaign Office of Col
Inns previous to the holding of the pri-
maries for the state convention. The
fight between the men was on pretty
much the lines Of the gubernatorial
contest, with the influences of the state
committee in favor of Gregory.

In Peter J. Metzdorf the Democrats
have an especially formidable candi-
date for county treasurer. Mr.. Metz
dorf-has held the responsible Office for
the past two years, and that he has
honestly and intelligently administered
its exacting duties is undisputed by
everybody. For many years resident
of st. Paul, member of the Junior
Pioneers and other fraternal and char
liable organizations, he is one of the
most widely known and generally pop
ular young men who have ever been
called by the people of the second rich
est county in the state to guard the
county's strong box.
Mr.. Metzdorf made splendid show
ing in the Democratic primaries, de-
feating a strong man and demonstrate
ing his vote getting talent. But his
strength is by no means confined to the
members of his own party, for the bus
mess men of the county, Independent
of politics, are largely committed to
a man who has shown that he can be
trusted with the county's most i'm
portant financial duties, and the testi-
monials of Republican state examiners
may be cited to show his capability
and thorough going business methods.
Mr.. Metzdorf is a resident of the
Eighth ward His abilities, his re-.
sponsibility and his popularity each
commend him to the voters Of the
county. Of his reelection there has
never been any doubt. His friends all
over the county will care for him on
Nov. 8.

Thomas r. Kane, Democratic candi-
date~for.re election as county attorney,
had no opposition in his own party in

goes into the fight for a second term
with his party united in his behalf.
Mr. Kane has served but one term,
and his friends insist that his record
in. the office entities him to another
two years in the office.
Thomas r. Kane is a native of Min
nesota, and has lived in the state all
his life Born in Sibley county, he has
resided in ST. Paul for the past eight
cen years. For ten years he maintain
ed an office by himself for the practice
of his profession, and for three years
was a law partner Of the late Judge
John L. Macdonald. His present Of
e4fice is the first political position to
which salary is attached that he has
ever filed, though he was for some
years secretary of the Democratic state
central committee. He has always
taken an active interest in local po-
litical affairs and has campaigned the
state in several campaigns for the ma
tional and state Democratic tickets.
- Mr.. Kane's administration of his Of
flee is such that an examination of the
record discloses a percentage of con-
victions in criminal cases which COM
pares favorably with that of any pre-
EVieus- incumbent of the office and en-
titles him to a reelection. Personally
he is popular and agreeable. A mem
her of a number of fraternal societies,
he has a large acquaintance through
