Telling Ghost Stories.

As might have been expected, the
keynote of the Democratic campaign
in this state, as sounded by Guberna-
torial Candidate Sanders and echoed
by the lesser guns of the ofiee-seeking
aggregation, is the musty, moth-eaten
aud threadbare scarecrow of Recon
struction and Negro Dominate
Instead of,devoting themselves to the
real issues Of the contest, these SPELL
binders OF a ring-ridden and degen-
Grated party organization are resort
ing to the familiar subterfuge of tell
ing ghost stories-conjuring up the
spooks of a deed and buried past for
the purpose of frightening back into
camp voters who threaten to wander
into the green fields Of independent
thought and action and TO revolt
against the dishonest deings that have
brought their party into disrepute un-
der its present management.
When Cohenite Candidate Coleman,
heading pretended state ticket that
has since fallen to pieces of its own
dead weight. proposed a joint dis
cussion of the differences between the
recognized Republican party and the
self constituted Cohen faction, the Re-
publican candidate for governor, Mr..
Pharr, replied that there was no good
to be accomplished by reyiviDg s'the
ghost of the past, from which he and
his associates were endeavoring to di-
vorce their party.
The Democratic candidate evidently
differs from this sensible view and pre-
fers revamping the ancient history of
Republican mfsdeeds to a discussion
of present-day questions and modern
Democratic misdemeanors. Hisreason
for the choice is obvious: it is so much
easier to do the one thing than the
other.
