sFEEP EFFR0NTERY.

In his letter Of acceptance the Hon. Henry 6.
Davis ventures 70 reprOve the Republican party
for "rehabintating the disappearing race issue. "
With plariSaical fervor and unction the West
Virginia statesman lanents the revival in poll
tics Of race distinctions and race prejudices.
He says:
All lovers Of their country must deprecate the
rehabilitation by he Republican party Of a dis
appearing race issue al time when every ef-
forT should be made 70 promote rather than
retaro the progress which was being made IN
fhe States where slavery had existed toward
kindlier relations between the two races. The
revival OF this issue with al its attendant evils
must Of necessity retard the development Of the
manfully with conditions left by the war. and
seriously interfere with ths Industrial progress
- Both races.
Does the Democratic candidate for Vice -Presi-
dent mean what be saysg Does his spirit really
revolt al any and every effort TO inject the race
question into politics? If he means To have the
public think this. he stands convicted Of father
ing a gross and palpable deception; for his own
record shows that he has long struggled-and is
today struggling-not to revive. but to create a
race issue IN West Virginia. His recent activity
IN the politics Of thar State has been directed
mainly 20 developing an outcTy for negro dis
fFaDchisement. a white mans government is
the slogan be has sounded and in q community
which has never challenged The principle Of man
hood suffrage he has been the leader in a move
ment TO strip the negro of the ballot, not be
cause he is nliterate or degraded or imperIls
even remotely the maintenance Of white su-
premacy, but simply and solely because his skin
IS black
In recent Democratic State conventions and
on the stump Mr.. Davis has gone on record as
advocating an exploitation Of the race issue He
believes that West Virginia should follow Mary
lands example in disfranchising the almost
negligible negro element in irs population And
for what purpose: Merely 10 incite for selfish
political advantage a smouldering prejudice
against the negro and 10 inhame the very pas
sions which, he tells Us in lis letter. will 're-
'tard, rather than promote the progress made
toward kindlieE- relations between the two
''races."
How little excuse II IS for an agitation of
The question Of negro disfranchisenent in West
Virginia can be seen from a glance at the census
statistics Of 1909 In that year there We're
241,9sO males OF voting age in the State. OF
these. l41sG-about 6 per cent-were OF negro
descent What peril" to the 94 per cent Of
white voters does this insignificant negro frac-
ron constitute: Why should this small and i'm
potent body OF voters be singled out for dis
franchisementg Not, certainly as il Mississippi
and South Carolina. on any pretext Of Overruling
race necessity. No; solely through a perVersa
Dissemination 70 disqualify the negro as negro
TO deny him the political status sought 70 be
given him under the Fifteenth Amendment.

TO RESTORE HILLISM.

From The New-YorK Globe.

From The New-YorK Globe
The people OF this State have shown many times
their ability 10 decice for themselves between a
true ana a false issue. They discovered early in
the career OF David r. Hill as Governor what were
the influences and principles that he was applying
20 the management OF The puOuc Affairs or the
State. and they voted him and his party out OF
power by series OF adverse majorities that were
unparalleled in size IN the history OF The state.
