But this will hardly hold water.
General Sherman could not by him

was the 'aetthat he had large and

AS men of intelligence, they know
perfectly we'll that nowhere in the
South are the Jim Crow accommo-
dations equal to those given to the
whites, either in cleanliness or suf-
ficiency. The railroads simply de-

knowing them to be not, as the COM
mission pretends, on an equality, but
grossly Disseminated against, and
unable to protest efficiently by reason
of their being deprived of the ballot"
ThA meat In the cOcoanut is con-
tanned in the last sentence. 1t is by
reason Of being deprived of the bal
lot that the Negro is SO grossly dis
eliminated against upon the common
carriers of the South. The rail.
roads are not to be blamed for the
deplorable conditions, but the men
who enacted the laws. First they
deprived the Negro Of means of re-
dress by taking from him the right
of suffrage and all else was easy.
1t is patent even to the causual OBJ
server that present conditions win
obtain so long as the Negroes politi
cal status at the South is one OF
taxation without representation, so
long as he counts only in congress

!: tFrom The wheeling Tntefligencer.)
: Mr. Charles +. letter. formerly q
candidate for governor, has E>een
interviewed by the Parkersburg Sen
tinel, and discusses state politics
Concluding fhe interview the Senti-
mel says: ~
Mr.. Teter5 was Of the opinion that
there was no danger of Ex- Governor
A. B. White RECEIVING the nomina-
ton, but if such thing should occur
there would be only one, result, the
people would not stand for it.
It is possible that Mr.. Teeter was
not quoted correctly by the Sentinel.
If he was quoted correctly, and his
remarks mean anything, it is that
in his opinion Ex-Governor White
could not be elected, if nominated.
In other words a considerable ele-
ment of Republicans represented by
Mr.. Teeter and men like him, would
bolet. The Intellingencer does not be-
lieve that Ex-Governor White wishes
or will seek the ghbernatorial nomi-
nation. From what it knows Of the
situation, it can say without absolu-
tie confidence that under ordinary cir
cumstances onlyl one condition will
induce Mr.. White to- become Candi-
date. That condition will exist when
it apears that the preservation of
the victories so Far gained by the tax
reform cause, and the further sue
cess. of that cause, require his SER
vices. 49,.
But the threat that man who has
served the people. of West Virginia
witt. the ability and sincerity that
Governor White has, will be crucified
il he seeks further preferpent pre-
sents a new and more serious
feature.
1t may as well ,be-,. understood now
that there can be no stronger influ-
ence to bring about the candidacy
OF A. B. White for governor, than
the threats of corporation agents
and hirelings to bolt his nomination.
If the opponents Of Governor White
wish to force him into the arena, let
them keep up this kind of work, and
they will soon have a fight on their
hands quite as interesting as any they
can wish.

Of a daughter and cousin by false

was killed at the hands of the &C.

malice existed before, at or since he
went to his grave. The evidence
shows none. He was their kinsman
They respected and cherished for him

This is variation Of the unwrit-
ten law for the first time enunciated
and makes a simple case Of assassin
alton a trivial act of friendly homi-
eide, by no means to be taken seri-
ously. At the most the murder is
not to be considered more reprehen-
siBle than a bit Of good-natured i'm
|politeness, an indiscretion arising
from an eXuberance of kindly feel
1ngs. This Plea had SO much weight
with the jury that a short delibera-
ton on their part resulted in YER

argument it would not be amiss to
require the corpse, resulting from
such "kindlicst feelings of friend
