CAPT. HOBSON SPEAKS.

While waiting on the report CT
a committee, the national con-
vention invited Capt. R. P. Hob
son OF Alabama to deliver an ad-
dress. The hero of the Merrimac
was greeted with cheers. Ills
speech was we'll received, and
when he passed to the color
question he declared that when
the black or yellow races came
into contact with white people,
if that race would not come to
suicide it must remain absolutely
distinct. A shout from the south
ern delegates greeted this state
ment.
He declared that Booker 7.
Washington would soon outlive
his usefulness if he did not
cease to yield to the teachings
and influences of the Republican
party and its chieftain. He urged
the men Of the west and north to
refrain from expressing the south
by advocating anything that
tended to obliterate the racial
lines. He deprecated the fact
that in the Republican convention
not one man had risen to speak
against the plank in that party's
platform Which urged reduction
Of southern representation in con-
gress because of alleged disfran-
chisement of voters in the south.
The speaker worked himself
into a high pitch of excitement
as with white face and ringing
voice he drew a picture of the
| approaching battle between the
parties, and concluded with the
words: "Let US make the Re-
publicans name the battlefield,
and let US make them call it
Waterloo. "

What II Cost Hearst.

man, stated at st. Louis last
week that that gentleman had

Upon opening it they became very much

CONGRESSMAN DAYTON called on
President Roosevelt last week, and a
Washington paper quotes him as hav-
ing spoken to the President as follows {:
81 have been pretty good prophet
in times gone by, and you mark my
words when | say that our majority
will be all the way from 10000 to go
600 in West Virginia. Let me coin
phrase. The party of dollars. dumb
ness and dOubt'-the Democratic party
has not leg to stand on in our State.
Although | have in my district the
Democratic candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent, the Democratic candidate for the
Senate, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, the Democratic State commit
tee chairman, and very clever gen tie
man who wishes TO 20 10 Congress on
the Democratic ticket, will win out
by an increased majority.
Mr.. Daytons good opinion OF him.
telf is only exceeded by his contempt
for the Democrats Of his district. and
his insulting reference TO them is only
another proof that his head is swelled
to that extent which renders him un-
fit for another term. His ALTERATION
doubtless tckles him very much, but
he will do we'll to remember the re-
Sult of Burchard's smartness in this
zine few years ago.

THE bitter fight in the third con-
gressional district of West Virginia
eliminated last Saturday, when two
conventions were held at Hinton and
two Republican candidates for Con-
gress were named. Congressman JOS
eph H. Gaines and w. Seymour Ed
wards, the rivals for the honor Of rep
resenting the district in Congress,
have been fighting each other with
the utmost rancor. Last Saturday
there were two sets of delegates from
Kanawha, Fayette, Summers and Clay
counties, and 1873 of the 225 delegates
were contested. Gaines controlled the
organization and threw out the Ed
wards delegates. The latter there
upon held convention Of their own,
and as promptly as Gaines's conven-
ton nominated him they nominated
Edwards. The courts will probably
be called upon to settle the question
as to who has the right to be placed
on the regular Republican ticket, but
in the meantime there appears to be
a fine chance for a Democrat.
