WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular corrsspo adeut.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
The agility and rapidity with
which many Republicans promi-
inent in the party are climb
ing into the Taft band wagon
are cause for much amusement
to Democrats and Republicans
alike. 4
The Vice chairman OF the Dem
ocratic National Committee, De
Iancey Nicoli, was interviewed
in Washington recently, and he
declared that without taking
an unduly optimistic view of the
situation, l believe that the Dem
ocratic party has an, excellent
chance to elect a President at the
next election" He believes that
there could not be more depres-
sion in the business world under
Democratic rule and that t h g
country could not suffer from a
change of administration. In
speaking of the Republicans he
declared that the strength OF
Governor Hughes was entirely
overestimated, and that he is by
no means the strong candidate
some persons believe. He also
declares that if Mr.. Taft is elect
ed it would result in a continu-
ance Of the Presidents policies.
The belief obtains in m any
quarters, as reflected by t b 0 re
politician in Washington, that
Judge GraG, of Delaware, h a g
many strong supporters in New
York. And the claim is m a d e
that the candidacy OF fudge Har
man of Cincinnatti, has been re-
ceived with approval.
Much dissatisfaction is heard
in Washington over Gov. Hughes
message to the New York Legis-
lature. Many Republicans expec-
ted the Governor to give express
sion to his views, if he has any,
and presumably he has, on a few
at least of the numerous nation
al questions that are absorbing
the minds OF politicians of both
parties. 1t was hoped that he
would declare himselfso that the
party might know where he
stands.
At theState Department twas
recently given out that the re-
sponse Of the Japanese govern
mcnt to certain suggestions OF
Secretary Root. made lately re-
garding the limitation OF the i'm.
migration OF Japanese laborers
on the Pacific coast, was amiea-
bile in tone and entirely satisfac.
tory to this government. There
is some reason to believe that q
suggestion has been made by this
government to the effect that ia
pan issues no more passports to
coolie laborers to leave Japanese
territory for any possessions Of
the United States, insular or con.
tinental, and that it had b e n
received in a friendly spirit at
Toxic.
A rule has been issued recently
by Secretary Bennett, of the Sen
ate, by which Senator's clerks
who apply for supplies at t h e
Senate stationery dispeusary are

Many man who makes up
his mind to do better next year
would do great deal better ifhe
would only bite off one day at a
time.
Watauga Democrat. [volume] (Boone, Watauga County, N.C.) 1888-current, 1908-01-16

by the respective Senator for
whom the supplies are intended;
also, all articles which may not
be considered material or needed
by q Senator in his official ca
pacity will no longer be kept in
stock by the stationery store,
and considerable comment has
been stirred up among the So
Ions by the order. Some regard
the new order as unnecessary,
while others say that the pro-
vision intended to stop the ten
dency to make the stationery de-
partment a general store is a
move in the right direction, but
they all object to the idea OF be-
ing obliged to write out an or
der every time they require a
ream OF paper. The Senate may
take some acton in the matter
when it gets well down to busi-
ness.
Among the comparatively few
really fine faces seen iu Congress,
is that OF John W. Daniel, stanch
Democrat and senior Senator
from Virginia who has achieved
distinguished success as a war
rior, lawyer and statesman. SEN
ator Daniels today carries t h e
red badge OF courage, in t h e
form OF a partially disabled leg,
conferred upon him by his foes in
the terrible battle of the Wilder
ness. He is esteemed by Republi-
cans and Democrats alike.
The Taft victory in Ohio was
cause for no little rejoicing am
ong his friends in Washington,
though it was exactly as t h e y
had anticipated, and they are
now awaiting the next move OF
Senator Foraker with interest.
Some OF the promoters Of t h e
Senator have felt compelled to
adopt certain measures to boost
his boom that is obnoxious, to
say the least, and are greatly
deprecated by most ofhis friends.
They are circulating the report
chiefly in Masonic circles, that
Mrs. Taft is a Catholic, hoping
in this way to ALLEVIATE the vote
OF all loyal Masons as we'll as
many others strongly preludiced
against all things savoring oi
Carolicity. As a matter of TACT,
the report is as false as the meth
cd is contemplate. Mrs. TAFT
and her parents before her are
members ofthe Episcopal church.
1t is not believed in Republican
circles that Senator Foraker,
forced to the wall as he is, wonld
ever consent to this base plan o1
securing votes, but it is taken as
evidence OF the extremity to
which his licutenants are reduced
by men of his party. In any
event there is abundant evidence
that Unity and Harmony or
which the Republicans have al
ways claimed a corner, m u 8
needs be searched for with a mi-
croscope, and prominent Demo
Gratis in Washington are much
amused by the spectacle which is
presented for their delectation.

Repudiated southern Bonds.

bNPooteeOW SVubuOhh 4yOnVHs
Gov. Hughes, OF New York, has
earned the gratitude ofSouthern
states. and advanced alongstride
in the. esteem OF sensible men in
refusing to lend his powerful aid
to the harpies who are attempt
ing to force the payment ofstate
bonds repudiated for fraud in is
suance. During the reconstruc-
tion era, when, when the legisla-
tures of the seeded states were
packed with negroes and their
more detestable white alleys, not
only we're taxes imposed to the
point of public bankruptcy and
all the money in sight stolen and
squandered in orgies OF profiga-
cy but bonds to the extent of
scores of millions OF dollars were
emitted. The proceeds of these Sc
curities never availed a penny's
worth of good to the tax pay
ers. Everywhere an outcry was
raised against the shameless
prostitution of temporary pow
er and the grossness of the high
handed robbery. The public was
duly warned, through every
means left to q stricken and gag
ged people, that not one bond
would be redeemed when the true
voice Of the real people was al
lowed utterance. Never was there
a clearer case OF caveat emptor.
This history of these disas.
trous days. though now long
passed, is too deeply burned into
the hearts of men to need minute
recital. The chicanery that chea-
ted Tilden OF his rights and plac-
ed upon the Brow Of Hayes q IL
surper crown, thus far the only
time in our. annals tainting the
title to the presidency, was soft
ened by O tacitcompact that the
government oil the southern
states should be restored to the
white men, who alone we're quail.
flied to rule. The reputation of
the rascally bond i'm mediately
followed. Despite all efforts to re-
habilitate them in the m oney
markets OF the world, they have
long been considered not worth
the paper they were printed on.
But the unblushing impudence
that strove in vain to force a
recognition Of these obligations
is followed by the subtilities of
tricky lawyers, who seek an en-
trance through the backstairs
when denied admittance in front
where alone honest men apply.
A western rotten borough, that
masquerades as q state, and in
6ict two senator's upon the coun-
try, received as a present some
of these inlquitous securities, and
recovered payment in the United
States Court in a suit against
North Carolina. We should re-
cord, for the sake OF human ma
ture, that recently an effort was
made in the legislature of t h a t
state to refund the money thus
contemptably tilched. 1t was a.
