CHARACTERIZATION CELIspnArIoN.

In another column will bc round n
sensible communication from, a colored
citizen Of Richmond protesting against
the celebration OF April Sd ms enamel
patton day BY the colorcd people OF
Richmond He declares that the best
and most Intelligent members OF his
race arc in full sympathy with the
spirit OF tho white people of the city.
and he does not believe that there IL
single reliable Endorsement from
either source MS to this outrageous s,l
OF April business"
Tho white people will not worry
themselves one way or another about
this celebration. April Sd is a sad
anniversary In Richmond. and IL is
strange that any class of our citizens
should make 1t n day OF mirth AMI
hilarity. But that is matter OF
taste. and Will hurt none save those
who kick UP their heels. in that view
OF 1t, The colored people would BE
wise to abandon the frolic and celebrate
emancipation on January 1st OF each
year. And even then the celebration
should be serious. Freedom carries
with II a very grave obligation, and
the lesson Of personal responsibility is
one which the colorcd race should study
with prayer and great zeal.

THE y1CE-pnEs1DENCy.

1t has been we'll said that nobody
can seek tho Office of ce-President.
That office is one, out of many of
different sort. which really seeks the
man. The party bestows it for services
rendered, or for those reasons of policy
which require such and such a. kind
of tail for the presidential kite. Doubt
less it Is almost equally true that few
men would seek the vice-presidency
IL they could. 1t is not popular
Office, having long ago been recognized
as political cul-de-sac from which
there is no turning back and a grave
yard where promising careers meet
untlmely deaths There arc exceptions.
of course, as In the case of the present
very vigorous occupant of the White
House, but these are too rare to en-
courage emulation. Ordinarily, when
a man rises high enough to be mem
toned for the e-prcsidency, his ans
billions instantly bound toward tho
place above. Anyway. ho fights away
from the vice-presidency as men avoid
the scourge.
Therefore, it is refreshing to learn
from the esteemed Boston Globe that
New England is honestly yearning and
hankering for this honor. New Eng
land has furnished tho country with
! four Vice Presidents-John Adams, FL
bridge Gerry. Hannibal llamlln and
| l,o in cho
has had no representative in the White
House SINCE franklin Pierce. in 1858.
Therefore, she is in position to claim
that 1t is about her time to be noticed.
| Tho Globe seems to feel this more or
less strongly. 1t complains that the
| Republican national managers appear
to take it for granted" that old Mas
saclusetts, Connecticut and the rest
of them arc just going to plug along
year after year, pulling for the ticket
and winning elections, and never get
a single shake at the plum-trce. Tho
Globe hints that these gentlemen arc
badly mistaken In fact, 1t Significantly
calls attention TO 1.-THE tremendous I'M

nnyAN AND JOHNSON.

IL is admitted that in the country
AZ large Mr.. William j. Bryan has
e1eater number of enthusiastic fol-
lowers than any other Democrat. That
beinr the case, his friends cannot un-
derstand, they say, why Mr.. Bryan Is
not the most available candidate. TheS
argue that the most popular man sure
~ has the best chance to win. But
they overlook two important consid-
erattons We do not elect the President
by popular vote, and Mr.. Bryan has
greater number OF opponents In the
doubtful states than any other Demo-
graf
In 1900 Mr. Bryan's popular vote was
s.sss.las, against McKinley's popular
vote OF .,2o7.92s. Cleveland's popular
vote in 1892 was only 5,556,9ls and
hi plurality over Harrison only
sso,s1o: hut his electoral vote was 30.
while Bryan's electoral vote was only
las. Or, to put the figures more con-
ciscly:

Cleveland's popular votc..-.. 5.S50,sl .

Cleveland's electoral vote---. 2''
1T is the electoral vote that counts.
Bryan carried the Southern States
except Maryland and West Virginia
and the silver states of Colorado, Idaho
Montana and Nevada; while Cleveland
carried all the Southern States. TO

and wisconsin. and ho pollcd severa

Hence the remark of Mr.. O'Brien. Of
the Minnesota Democratic Committee
that Johnson could carry every state
that BRYAN could carry. and. in add,
ton. Minnesota. South and North Da'
kota. ana many others which Bryan
could not carry.
In Minnesota in 1892, Harrison'
plurality over Cleveland was al,9U3
in 1900. McIlinley's plurality owe
Bryan was 1850. Bryan lost boil
North and South Dakota by consid
cradle majority. while In 1892 Cleve
land got one electoral vote in NORTH
Dakota Tom johnson could doubtless
carry hiss own .statc-which is more
than Mp. Bryan did in leoo---and h,
would have lighting chance in ever.

1892, while Bryan would have NJ
chance whatever in New York, New
Jersey. Delaware or Connecticut, an,
his chances would be very slim in Iii

Here is a map of the situation whicl
Democrats would do we'll to study, i
they desire to win in the contest o

MAC LEE is ArrEn us.

Mr.. ". Mcdonald Lee. editor of the
Virginia Citizen and chairman of the
State Board Of Fisheries, a position
held by him under Governor Swanson's
appointment, undertakes to read the
cypress of Richmond" lecture on fair
Journalism and pure Democracy.
He says that tho newspapers of this
the State and misled other papers by
printing one-sided reports of the Rhen
Investigation.
He says that ''the testimony against
Rhea had less foundation than upon
what you would shoot the near neigh
boris yellow dog because some un-
known pup had killed your sheep the
hight before---the one because he wa,
hard hitting Democrat. the other be
cause it was a dog"
He says that, If the vote had beer
taken on Tuesday night not halt 4
dozen Democrats would have stood VI
Tor Noel and his spotted tribe of perse.
sutors," hut that the interval was "oc-
ssAP'So WIN p0i iiihS tue NlTcS through,
1ut Virginia, appealing to constituents
% press their representatives into linz
against Rhea"; and he adds that "manS
Sf the twenty-seyen Democrats who
voted with the Republicans votet
against their better Judgment an,
wishes because OF this manufactured
ssntiment."
There is more of the same kind. Ii
IAct, there are two and a half column,
