After the Black Vote are some of the
captions put upon the. stories from
Lincoln, and the editorial comments
thereon. Tom Watson, although the
joyful recipient of any negro vote that
will come his way, is shocked. Other
GeOrgians are shocked. The News
and Courier OF Charleston. S. c., is
shocked and alarmed. In our plain
and perhaps brutal opinion, negroes
are undesirable democrats it says
We differ from the Charleston paper
and Tom Watson: we prefer to stand
with Alexander Stephens and John B.
Gordon of Georgia, Wade Hampton
General BrattOn and John Peter Rich
ardsOn of South Carolina, and Zeb
Vance and Matt Ransom of North
Carolina How proud We were of ev-
cry red-shirted negro in 1876 and 1873.
How Hampton appealed to the ne
groes to leave the corrupt republican
party and to vote the democratic tick
eti How negroes have been uniformly
condemned for adhering to the repub-
lican party"
The writer, in passing through
Jacksonville the other day, accident
ally met the Rev. W. A. Dickerson
who stands So high in colOred Mason
ic and church circles in Florida 1t
will be remembered that he was a
delegate to the st. Augustine republi
can convention and headed a contest
ing delegation to the Chicago cOnven-
ton.
He says that as a rule the negroes
are opposed to the nomination of Taft
and will carry their opposition to the
polls.
The Rev Dickerson is himself ad-
vocating the election of Mr.. Bryan.
He says that the negroes hold the
balance of power; that they have per-
mitted themselves too long to be
mere "hewers of wood and toters of
water" in the camp of the republican
party; that they have been fed too
long on the crumbs of promises"
held out to them by the republican
party, and this year they propose to
rebuke it by voting the democratic
ticket; that the negro holds the bal
ance of power in Indiana, Ohio, New
York and other states, and the negro
vote in these states may be safely
counted on for Mr.. Bryan.
The republican party is unquestiOn-
ably alarmed over the attitude of the
negro, and is about convinced that
the negro in the coming election will
either not vote at all or will vote the
democratic ticket

George Ade on Taft.

There have been almost innumerablc
commentators delivered on the speech
of acceptance delivered by Judge Will
liam II. Taft. These commentators.
while they view Judge Taft's declara-
tons from many angles as to details,
are practically unanimous on one point,
he is not visionary, but advocates
sound doctrines in straightforward
manner.
One Of the most unique and at the
same time comprehensive characteriza-
tions Of NJ. Taft's speech that has
come to the notice of The Chieftain, is
that from the pen of George AIDE. re
porter, hrnorist, author, playwright
and member Of the notification commit
tee from Indiana. Mr.. AIDE says:
"Republicans will find the supporting
of Judge Taft an easy and joyful task.
He is not anything that candidate
should not be. He is not an atmospher-
ic disturbance. lie is not visionary.
lie is not grand stand performer. lie
is not Don QuiNote, fitting at wind
mills. He is not an cAperimentalist.
He is not an experiment.
Probably he will be elected. We
are not sure. II the world comes TO
an end tonight, tomorrow will not be
July %. II all the voters get paralysis
OF the right hand or IL they become
twisted on their dates and forget that
November 3 is election day-or II the
entire population is stricken with some
political mania combining st. Vitus
dance with seeing things at night
somebody else might stand u show.
Otherwise not. In the case Of Judge
Taft we may use the language Of the
extinct race track and say, Write your
own ticket. '"-Pueblo Chieftain.
