The talk of reorganizing the
Democratic party is all rot2 es
pecially by the men who are do
ing the talking
J
Mr Bryan will probably look
after his own individual interests I
as he has refused a salary of 10
a year to edit a newspapers
In case there is one represent
t ive in Congress for each 200000
inhabitants there will be an in
crease in the membership of 18
It is President McKinleys de
sire that sill the members of his
hut
Cabinet remain with him but
C veral will tender their resigha
t ils
nsRepublicans
Republicans need not worry
ni nt the proposed reorganization
of the Democratic party Demo
crts will make their own fight
adjust their own affairs and take
ih results
Tr is said that Mr J D Ware
of Hopkinsville has given out a
Binned statement completely vin
eliciting his wife and Rev W K
Piiior The reported scandal is
familiar to the public
Official returns from 105 of the
lit comities of the State were

fiiimos from the remaining four
twin counties reduce this majority

Albert Thompson one of Bour
bon countys best farmers and a
Democrat was held to answer in
the Federal court in bond of
1000 on the charge of intimida
ting negro voters Two negroes I
were also held with Thompson for
the same offense This persecu
tion is evidence of Republican hatred
tk
red for Democratsit is the work
ofa wellplanned method to in
timidate Democrats and make
them standoff in the scramble for
the votes of floaters It shows the
depthof infamy that the Republi
can party gos in order to com
pletely control the negro vote Al
bert Thompson had some negroes
arrested and jailed for crap shoot
ing and the game and arrest were
just before the election thus the
Federal government attempts to
say to Democrats and the law
abiding people of this State that
you must not jail any of our vo
8Csera for any offense when it would
prevent them from voting Crap
shooting is a crime and our laws
Yrprovide a penalty for it and in this
ise
instance Mr Thompson and the
two colored men doubtless did
their duty Others have been in
dieted tried fined heavily and im
vetea ry
slight offenses and yet the Repuw
lican organs of this State fail to
toiu
see any evidence of partisanism in
these prosecutions When the law
hasbeen violated it is the plain
heand imperativeduty of the author
1ities to enforce it regardless of who
the transgressor may be but when
they allow Republicans to forv
colored men to vote pay theml
vote and go free and arrest Dem
ocrats for the offense of hiring
them not to vote it is gross parti
sanismit is discrimination of the
worst character it can not de
feuded
Republican papers are finding
much pleasure in speaking of their
national victory and also in ridi
culing the position of the Demo
cystic party and especially our
haleader We predict that these
sean
sheets will soon have all they can
do to defend the actions of their
iric
own party While the Democratic
11party was defeated in its come
tious and while its gifted and able
leader has twice gone down does
not justify the oppoiite party in
pitching its slurs and speaking
disparagingly of Mr Bryan The
intelligent part of the people are
willing to admit that he is a man
whose ability courage honesty
and patriotism are equal to any
living American and it is only the
blockheads who can not credit
him with these endowments
Whether or not he shall again lead
our party in u National contest
we are unable to say but he is not
dead to the interests of the great
alcommon people As to Mr Mc
Kinley we presume that he is an
average man in intellect with the
prominent men of this age but we
equalrd of
ofth
rdany of his associates The truth
is that he is simply a partisan
and will work to the interest of hieand
rdarty first and if he can advance
his party and do good to the whole
people we believe that he won lent
inheerfully do so He is President
of the United States Emperor of
the Philippines but not a Solomon
mon
The meeting held in Nashville
last week to urge Congress to im
prove Cumberland river in that
part of the country shows that Ten
nessee people realize the import
ance of a strong pull in Congress
to obtain the necessary improve
ment to make Cumberland river
navigable As we understand the
Government has surveyed the riv l
er to Burnside Kentucky or even
higher up and decided to make it
navigable to that point The sur r
vey and decision will not be worth S
htb
any thing unless it is carried to
htcompletion and if the Kentucky
people from the Tennessee line to n
Burnside would unite in a demand
on Congressman Boreing of this
District to push this matter they
would not be too aggressive and
would probably secure an appro
priation If our Congieasman will
not work for this improvement or
he is not able to induce Congress
appropriate for this river then
he should be retired and an fib leday
and man should take his place who
hoid
would do it Mr Boreing is said
be a fine piehunter for hispf
friends but he should work for the f
improvement of the above men
tion river This would be worth
much to thisjpartof the State and
