State Politics Get

Deneen and Yates to Fight to a
Finish.

A resume of the political situa.
tion shows no signs of nesty
nor retreat. Yates continues to
make allegations of Deneen S
'maladministration, but the
governor answers and refutes
every charge to a satisfactory
degree.
There are about SO 600 colored
votes in the state, and from pres
ent indications, Deneen will get
fifty per cent. of that vote, which
is remarkable as Yates was once
the highest ideal of a man in the
eyes of the colored people, and
that popularity has not diminish
ed but Governor Deneen has ap
pointed colored men to higher
positions than Yates did and has
also appointed with the reten-
tons, more men than Yates.
This coupled with the fact that
Deneen has made a splendid rec :
