able man will now have any confidence
in the Democracy after it has boldly
confessed that the profession of 1881
was false, and that fraud upon the ballot
box was committed without stint in
every section of the Commonwealth
for more than twenty years after the
party had declared it had not been, was
not then and never would be opposed to
an honest ballot and fair count.
And further, Judge'Lewis and every
intelligent man is warranted in conclud-
ing that it is the purpose Of the Vir-
ginia Democracy to again use fraud at
the ballot box whenever it becomes
necessary to maintain Democratic su-
premacy. If this be not true, why was
it that after months of careful study
the Democratic members of the consti-
tutional convention made such partisan
laws on the suffrage and for future
elections? Will it be denied that these
provisions place all the election ma
chinery in the hands of the Democratic
party and that they are of such charac-
ter as to permit ample fraud when it is
needed? If the Roanoke Times denies
this, why did the Democrats find it nee
essary to place in their primary plan
strong, "salutary safeguards, THAT were
not provided by the Constitution, to pre-
vent Democrats from cheating each
other at their recent primary?
No, Judge Lewis was not unfair. He
told the truth, and every intelligent
Democrat knows that his party is
doomed in Virginia, unless it is saved
from defeat by the skillful manipulation
of ballots and returns under the direc-
ton of the accomplished instructor, ].

DECIDEDLY CHEEKY.

The Republicans in the current Vir-
GINA campaign have greatly the adj
vantage of the Democrats in one re-
spect. They can make extravagant
professions and the most liberal prom
ises of what they will do if entrusted
with power, because they will never
be called on to fulfil those promises.
The Democrats, on the other hand, must
take care to promise only what they
can fulfill, because Democratic victory
is certain, and then the responsibility
for fulfilling campaign promises must
be met. -Lynchburg News.
Every person who knows anything
about the political history of Virginia
for the past twenty-five years knows
how utterly extravagant and wide OF
the mark are the above declarations of
the News. The News may be right
about the Republicans not having an
opportunity after the election to fulfill
the promises they have made the public.
1t, no doubt, has great confidence in the
capacity of its party managers to pre-
vent the Republicans from winning. But
we defy the News to point to single in
stance in which the Republicans of Vir-
GINA failed to redeem their pledges
where they were given the opportunity
to fulfill them.
Why the Democrats have TO be care
full about making promises is amusing.
They have made many and have violated
them in almost every instance. Conf
dent of the power they held by the con-
troll of the election machinery they have
not hesitated to violate every solemn
pledge they have made the people dur
ing the past twenty years. Mr.. Glass,
who is the owner and editor of the
Lynchburg News, has notorious per-
sonal knowledge of these violated prom
ises. He was the author of the cele-
brated resolution passed at the Demo
cratic State Convention of 1900, which
pledged the submission of the New
Constitution to the popular vote and
also pledged that no honest white man
in Virginia should be DISTINGUISHED.

He would be forced to give the addi-
tional reason that the negro parents did
not pay the taxes, and then he would be
in dilemma, sure enoughl His Repub-
lican adversary would say at once that
this argument was as applicable to the
poor white man as it was to the poorne-
gro, and when the poor white man once
took that view of it, and became con-
WINGED that it was an accepted policy of
the Democratic party, goodbye to
Democratic majorities in Virginia.

Broken Promises of Virginia Democrats
(Communicated.)

kOOiAiiANAAS0N~NsJ
In 1885 the Democrats promised free
school books. They have had twenty
years control of the State to redeem
that promise and the pledge is still
broken.
In 1885 the Democratic platform de-
clared that convict labor in competition
with free, honest labor, should be abol-
ished, and yet twenty years have passed
and the promise has not been kept and
the State is receiving 43c per day for
convict labor, depriving honest, free
men of from $3.50 to $3.50 per day for
the same work.
In order to get the people to vote in
favor of Convention to amend and re-
wise the Constitution, the Democrats
promised Ito disfranchise any white
man, and also promised that they would
submit the New Constitution to the peo-
pie for ratification or rejection Fully
one-hak Of the white vote was disfran-
chised and the Constitution was pro-
claimed instead of submitted to the peo-
pie.
The Democrats have promised to
equalize taxation, and yet we have the
most unfair, unjust and inequitable
method of taxation to be found in the
country.
The Democrats have promised more
equitable legislative districting of the
State, and yet the infamous apportion-
ment still remains.
The Democratic party has promised
honest elections, and yet fraud is ram
pant in every county.
The Democrats have promised an hon
est administration and honest expendi-
lures of the peoples money, and yet we
find extravaganza or graft in nearly
every department.
Can such a party be trusted longer?
Can the promises of its leaders 'be re-
lied on in the face of these twenty
years of broken pledges?

Deafness Cannot 30 Cured

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that lie
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an lnhsmed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbllng sound or imperfect hearing, aud
when it is entirely closed. deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inhsmed condition Of the mucous sur

What the Democratic Petersburg In
dex-Appeal says about free school
books:
THE NEGRO AND FREE BOOKS.
cit seems that we are never to get rid
of the negro as an issue as long as the
politicians can perpetuate him as a
means of inhaming the passions and the
prejudices of majority of the voters
of the State. AS an element of danger
in our politics he has been eliminated by
orderly, reasonable and proper means,
and, to his credit, the negro has accept
ed the situation in an unprotesting and
law-abiding spirit.
AS voter the negro is no longer an
element of danger, but the politicians
will not let him rest as an issue. He is
brought forward now against the benef-
cent proposition, to provide the free use
of books in the public schools of the
State. Because negro children would
participate in the benefits of this pro-
vision it must be defeated, and the ben
efits withheld from white children also.
Is there any consistency, justice, hu-
mainly or reason in such an argumentY
Democratic speakers who take such a
position do so without party authority,
and in defiance of the party's legislative
record. They speak for nobody but
themselves and that infinitely small
class of voters and taxpayers in the
State who are opposed to free schools
at heart, and who believe that is wrong
to tax one man and to educate another
mans child. What sort of government
should we have II every mans taxes
were applied only for his own benefit
Let US drop the negro as an issue in
the discussion of our public school poll
cy, just as we have dropped him as an
issue in our general politics. 1t is dam
.gerous ground for a Democratic speaker
to venture upon. When pressed for a
reason, he would be ashamed to say that
he had no other than that the child's
skin was black, and therefore he was
willing to perpetuate black mass of
ignorance and vice in the community.
