cial TO the Commereial-Appeal from

Senator Carmack made the follow
ing statement:
Neither Mr.. Armistead or myself

test anywhere. have heard. just as
Others have, of protests against cor
Eruption and fraudulent practices in
various counties. but | have never

feat the nomination of Governor Pat

ular vote. There is no way provided
by which the corrupt and fraudulent
vote can be sifted cut of the mass.
and l shall not attempt It.
But my candidacy is but one feat
ure of this contest. The Democratic
platform is yet TO be made, Demo-
cratic Legislators are yet to be nomi-
mated, instructed and elected. The
fight for the utter abolition of the
whisky traffic and for other vital re-
forms must go on without a mo-
ment's pause. The enemy has won
"a Pyrrhic victory. This battle has
been lost. but the war has Just
begun.

and weakened their resources to gain

put up as good fight every Saturday

LATE RIVER NEWS

The Evansville packet, John S.
Hopkins, broke down just above Col
conda this morning while on her way
to Paducah. She will come on to
this place and will be repaired before
going back. 1t will probably be sew
eral days before she re-enters the
Evansville and Paducah trade.
A letter has been received by the
wharfboat company stating that the
City of Savannah will start in the St
Louis and Tennessee river packet
trade about July 13. This goes TO
show that the Tennessee river trade
is the best of any of the river trade.
There are now four packet boats
going up the Tennessee as far as
Riverton and Waterloo, Ala, which
are about one-half mile apart. The
City of Saltillo. the Chattanooga, the
kentucky, the Clyde and the City of
Savannah will make five. Passengers
and freight shippers can get boat
for the Tennessee river on Tuesday,
"Wednesday. Friday and Saturday of
each week, which makes 1t almost as
convenient as travelling by rail.
The John Bertram arrived from
Helena, Ark. this morning at 1880
O'Clock to go on the marine ways for
repairs. The Bertram is a transfer
boat. The DeKovan went to Helena
to take the Bertram's Place while she
is here being repaired.

TAFT AND THE coLoRED VOTER

TAFT AND THE COLORED NOTER
Col. Henry Watterson, whose opti-
mistic spirit one day made him ad-
wise the Democratic national conven-
ton to open its arms to the colored
brother and welcome him into the
opportunity to show his political
strength and rebuke some fancied
slight at the hands of the Republi-
can party, is answered in an edi-
torial, which appeared in the Chicago
Tribune. quoting an expression from
Booker T. Washington. II says:
"In the last analysis the negro
vote will go to Mr.. Taft because the
negroes will realize in the campaign
they have nothing to expect from the
Democratic party. With the Demo-
cratic convention made up in large
part of southern representatives or
the Tillman-Vardaman type, 1t will
be impossible for the negro to get
anything. If he is to get anything
he will have to look TO the Republi-
can party and he will naturally vote
for the Republican candidate.-
Booker T. Washington.
1.-The common sense of the view
point here expressed by Mr.. Wash
ington is so obvious that comment
would be unjustlfiable II the negroes
of Chicago had not recently been
treated to a good deal of rant against
Mr.. Taft coupled with oratorical
threats that the negro vote would
bolt the Republican ticket rather
than go to him, AS The Tribune re-
marked when these platform out
breaks occurred, they were largely
the result of an egoism infamed by
a little brief notoriety.
"There is a group of leaders
among the negroes of the violently
radical and irrationally idealistic
variety. These men may be borne
with because their intentions are
good If their social and political wis
dom is doubtful. But the political
boss among the negroes who is dis
posed to trade upon prejudice for his
own profit to his peoples hurt should
be suppressed.
There is no alternative in the
mind of any intelligent negro to vot-
ing the Republican ticket. Even II
the attacks upon Mr.. Taft were not
unfounded and unjust, even if II
could honestly be charged against
him that he is inimical to the true
interests and political and social
rights of the negro, which he is not,
the negro would only iniure his own
cause by going over to the Democ-
racy of Tillman, Bailey, and Varda-
man."

RnynOnfi's Dope


Chicago. June 30.--"RGymond" in
the Tribune says:
"Wi,liam Jennings Bryan is GER
tain TO be nominated for the presi-
deacy by the Democratic national
convention in Denver. The member
ship Of the convention will therefore
be 1.OO2. Applying the two-thHds
rue. the successful candidate wifi
have to have Cos votes.
According TO figures OF the Bryan
managers. the Nebraska leader now
has 56I votes OF solid delegations
actually instructed for him. Besides
that they claim Instructions from / l
scattering delegations in Massachu
sets, North Carolina. Ohio and Pean-
sylvan.a.
There are 1872 uninstTucted dele
gates supposed to be for Bryan. This
gives Bryan. according TO the figures
of his managers, 797 votes. Then
there should be added is more dele
gates from Montana and North Caro-
lima who were stin TO be elected
when the figures were made up this
morning. bat who are confidently
claimed for Bryan.
This makes a total OF S15 votes
for the Nebraska leader. which are
said to be absolutely certain. But
there are 80 scattering votes In
Massachusetts,. Rhode Island. Ohio.
Vermont, florida, Alabama and Mary
land which are believed to be for
Bryan as a matter OF personal prefer
ence, although they are not in
structed.
This makes Bryan total OF S55
otes, or nearly goo more than
enough to nominate him.
THE question OF a vice-presiden-
tial candidate is still In the air. and
may remain SO for some days. Bryan.

favors Judge George Gray. of Della
ware, but he would be satisfied with

them, Ton l.. Johnson. of Ohio, or

FIRE CHIEF WOOD
BUSY AGAIN WITH

hours preparing the ordinance Great

This is the second time Chief Wood
has written the ordinance. which re-

dubbed in the council "The White
Elephant" Its length is just the
reason why II is necessary for Chief
Wood TO buckle down@t work and
prepare the ordinance again. but with
his usual pluck ha has started to
work TO complete II.
The ordinance was introduced In
the council last year, but owing TO its
length no councilman ever dared to
read Il. and whenever II was picked
up there was a motion to adjourn. So
that the ordinance might be under
stood each councilman and alderman
swapped the ordinance about TO read
II during spare hours. but somebody
stuck II IN a pigeon hole and 1t never
came forth again. Seeing that Il was
hopeless TO find the ordinance Chief
Wood has begun work copying the
original manuscript.
The ordinance provides for many
good features. and members of the
general council admit chat such an
ordinance Is needed in Paducah. The
Office of building inspector Is created
but his salary chiefly comes from
fees. and the office will nearly be self

THE FINAL les

One the whole, the conserva-
tism of the Denver platform
promises to be such that the
campaign likely is TO be fought
out largely on the personality OF
Taft and Bryan.
This is the concluding paragraph
OF Raymond's letter from Denver to
the Chicago Tribune. And the per
sonality" of Taft will be revealed in
his record in office, and that of
Bryan in bound volumes of his
speeches on "tariff for revenue only, -
"free silver" and government
ownership of railroads" How well
these records and speeches comport
with the conservative wording of
their respective platforms will be the
fnal test of the fitness of candidates.
