THE AFTERMATH.

er good Republican papers, will abide
by the decision.
We have entertained for Mr.
SWlsher the very highest regard and
nave especially admired his self-conI
troll under the terrible fire to which
ne was subjected by the opposition
press. Although charged with eyery
crime from murder to petit larceny
ne has made no effort to retaliate,
maintaining dignified silence until
forbearance ceased, to be a virtue,
and then branding as false the mali
clous reports which were circulated
Tor the purpose of injuring him In
the eyes of the better element of vo-
tiers.
II MI. SWisher, whose nomination
was as regular as that of any man
''S oo hOhOISu ny MS party,
should decide to withdraw, there will
be no question Of his motive. His
friends will but honor him the more
Tor having sacrificed his personal am
bltlons for the good of the party.
They will ever bear in mind his nm
selhshness in stepping aside that the
success Of his party might be ,assur.

FAIRLY beaten in the game in which
ne is an adept; supported for years
by the Republican party, he allowed
himself to be used by coterie of
Sore-heads and ex-Democrats as a
TOOL to wreck the party which made
MIN all that he is and all that he ev-
er Will be politically. At this time,
one can only surmise the result of
the conference, but whatever it is.

THE LATEST JOKE.

the Negro should vote for Bryan.
:. After having arraigned the Repub-

with the disfranchisement, and Jim
Grow legislation of the South, the
ydisbandment of the Colored Militia
companies in the same section; the
I thousands Of lynchings and cases Of
neonage; the dismissal of the black

WHY'S

TO vote for Mr.. Taft In the COM
ing election is to cast a vote in favor
of the elimination of the race from
politics and make possible the dis
reimbursement of our people In the
North and West,n says Rev. Wal.
dron. With Mr.. Taft declaring un-
equivocally his endorsement of the
Negro planks in the Repu blican Ma
tional platform, and Mr.. Bryan up
holding the repressive laws Of the
South, 1t is little hard to see why
Rev. Waldron should be so much In
error in his conclusions.
