planks, one pledging the party to
the enactment Of a Jim Crow law

of Acknowledgement law such as
exists in every. Southern state.
The state leaders Of democracy,
by their own admission, did not dis
approve of the two planks which at
tacks the rights Of the colored peo-
pie, but for expediency, because they
believed 1t would solidfy the republi-
can party, they asked that the two
planks be rejected. Finally on mo-

OF those two planks which were re-
committed to the committee on reso-

morrow.
NO more turbulent scene was ever

Since the announcement f1rst pub
'Ashed in the Globe,.. that Dr.. JIG

had resigned, there has been a deal
or speculation as to the probable
cause Of his resignation. DR.. Merrill
was generally loved by everyone with
whom he came in contact and his pro-
foupd interest In what concerned
FISK and the Negro race caused the
news Of his resignation to be recelv-

SKY. Not only was the public at
large surprised, but the determine
ton OF DR.. Merrill to lay, down his
work as president Of Fisk came with
equal unexpectedness to the trustees

The reasons why DR.. Merrill re.
signed have not been made public
heretofore. But that Dr. Merrill gave
up his place with the sole desire that
the school might profit by having q
president who might be greater col.

1s quite evident that the Bryanites in

capture q goodly slice OF the colored

West Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois and
probably Iowa and Maryland. The
Dait Is to be dangled out quietly, it is
said, 80 as not to alarm the Bourbon
south, which, as Vardman de-
clares, would rather go down In de-
feat than to win with the Negro rec
ognized as a political factor. But
Mr.. Bryan wants to win. He doesn't
want to go down to defeat again, and
is willing to make any compromise
that will add strength to his cause.
Although the peerless Nebraskan
has entered an emphatfcaf denial that
he promised Bishop Walters any con-
cess'ons On the Brownsville matter.

swears there Is no truth in the re-
port that he would divide the patron
