The Real Feature.
''The feature. which stands out In the 4
work Of the Republican National Conven-is,
ton. which has Just adjourned, was not
Its prearranged nomination OF PresidentAF
Roosevelt, or the stand-pat attitude on
the tariff Its real spirit is found I'M
that deliberate declaration about South
ern representation-a spirit which fore
shadows n new force bill and makes In
. evtable concerted movement to revive
all the evil passions to which such an 3
appeal is made
"Untl recently this idea has had In IT.
nothing more serious than was involved 3
in the idle talk of a few hot-heads, or T.
in the efforts of notorsety-see eekcrs to
command a hearing; now. It becomes tho
deliberate policy of O great party. which
sees In 1t an opportunity to forge a
new weapon for prolonging Its tenure OF
power &. SSggtsss3
This policy Is adopted In defiance of 6
the uniform decisions of the courts from
the lowest to the highest; 1t sets at
naught the precept and the example Of:
the late President Mckinley 1t bellies 4
the boasts OF the party leaders that /
unity had come to the country; and It
overiooks entirely the steady movements q
which have promoted with so much Eff
flciency the Industrial developments Of .
1.-The South. now recognized as so vital to #
the future growth of the whole country.
Instead of something to typify these ten-
T, dencles, the bloody shirt. buried since
March, 1856, is resurreoted as a party ban

"The South is to be congratulated that
the party has on guard In both the House
and tho Senate, tho best organized and 81
the ablest led Democratic minority since
tho war;" II 5g s.$ I'LL 3ss
