sNe8rOeS helping democrats.
From the Richmond, Va, News
Leader.
West Virginia has the worst negroes
in the South and they are working
hard to roll up big Democratic ma
jority. Angered by the action of the
Democratic State convention declaring
for negro Acknowledgement and Jim
Crow laws, they are making them
selves as offensive es possible and be-
coming violent.
The Biuefield Leader of recent date
narrates two illustrative Incide nts.--
In one case negro planted himself
in the aisle Of a railway train and re-
fused to allow anybody to pass. When
the white newsboy attempted to push
by tc attend to his business he was at
tackled by the negro and very severely
beaten before the passengers could in
ed coach a negro who was standing,
remarking he was tired, deliberately
sat on the lap cfa white woman.
When told to move ne replied that no
Jim Crow laws went with him and
that he would sit where he chose. The
negroes present applauded his act and
prevented the few white passengers
from attacking him and he held his
place until the conductor could be call
ed to remove him.
Every incident Of this kind means
hundreds of votes for .the Democratic
nominee for Governor and the jim
Grow law and incidentally for Bryan.
1t should have effect also just over the
line in the Ninth Virginia district az
an object lesson of what happened I'M
der Republican government in a
Southern state.

The great Taft meeting came Off on
Tuesday morning but was fizxIs. The
town had been flooded with large post
ers fer days, special large, first page
advertisements were run in the daily
pa pers Of the town, brass band was
employed to blew up the faithful and
the whole community was drummed
for the Taft meeting.
1t was announced that the speaking
would take place At clock, that Mr..
Taft would speak half an hour and
that the train would only be here I'M
til 1870. When 7 O'clock came there
were not more than three hundred pee
pie In the Public Square, where the
speak king was announced to take place.
The band played, the people waited,
the band played again, and again and
kept on playing and the people Con-
tinued to collect until there were per
haps thousand, men, women and
children, white and black, democrats
and republicans gathered In the square
and waited. 1t was about ten minutes
after when some one came up from
the station and announced that every
body would have to go t. the station
to hear the speech. Then there was !
grand rush and soon the crown was at
the staten and there they WAITED
again until near $50 when the train
came. As the train came to = stand
still Commissioner q. M. Bowers, d. r.
elm bed on the platform Of the car and
AZ he entered the ear someone cried GUS,
"hurrah for Bowers" the doctor tip
ped his hat and gave modest smile
but WAS toe modest to bow.
soon Senator Scott came out follow
ed by Mr.. Roosevelt's proxcy, Mr..
Taft. Mr.. Scott introduced The speaker
and then there were few who cheer
ed, but 1t was but one cheer and it was
very feeble.
Mr.. Taft's speech was a disappoint-
ment. 1t was not more than five min
utss in length and was nothing in
argument. The only reward the peo-
pie got for coming out was that they,
or part Of them got to see him.
lie stated that he was glad to meet
SO many West virglnians out SC early
ito meet the train and that he felt
as sure Of West Virginia going republic
can as he did Pennsylvania.
He stated that it was of no use for
him t. speak to the farmers as the
prices Of farm products were 80 high
that the farmers could not help wish
Ing continuance Of the present party
In pewer. But he stated that every
body remembered the bliRhting effect
Of the Wilson German bill and the
panic which it brought ON. About
then the train moved of and the
speech ended.
About the only thing he said was
about the Wilson bill using the panic
which came on nearly two years be-
fore the bill was law.
1t seems strange that man Of Mr..
lalts learning and apparent iairness
wsuId insist on continuing to use that
old thread bare joke. he might a.
well have told tine people that Gen.
Grant fought the revolutionary war.
There would Re as much truth and as
much argument in It.
Mr.. Taft knows this and his use Of il
is only an evidence that his cause 10
desperate.
The meet was disappointment and
fissco. There were some people from
the country who went hsme displeas-
Ell and disappointed and felt they had
not gctten their moneys worth.
MIR. Taft made no votes here and his
ammunition was wasted.
