While a number of Republican
organs over the state have asserted
that the ii'Mtro planks in tin* Demo
eratli stale platform spells defeat,
not one of them have had the Conr
an* to declare in favor of whites
and blacks riding in the same
coaches.
The <|iio8tion is one that must he
met. Those who are not in favor of
a change must place themselves on
record ns Favoring a continuance of
the present system.
\\Tll the Mercer county candidates
for the legislature announce whether
they favor the separation of the
race., by common carriers or do thev
believe that both should ride in the
tame coaches? Our columns are
open to either to declare themselves
upon this subject.
The Mercer county platform favors
repniato coaches with the same a->
ri mmndations to the blacks as the
whiter, it also favors a limitation
upon the suffrage question.
The Democratic party has shown
the courage of its convictions. Ft
has openly declared itself upon this
question. The issue must be met.
It Is a vital one in tl/is stnte.
The Republicans cannot crit'clae
the Democratic planks upon th'.a
question without impliedly favoring
the present system.

The Republicans have often told
us that a panic only comes when
the Democrats are In power, but tills
is not true, as every well Informed
man knows. Senator Daniel of Vir
ginia points out tin* fact that the
Republicans have been in control of
the government for forty-eight
yean, with the exception of two
yean during one of the Cleveland
administrations—in other \vordst
the Democrats have only been In
control of the government two years
out of 4S. During that time we
have had several panics, the worst
of which occurred In 1X73, under
(Srant; in 1X93. at the close of the
Harrison administration, a legacy
left to Cleveland for which he suf
fered? the blame of the unthinking
for the past twelve years, and the
panic of 1907 under Roosevelt. Dur
ing all these years the Democrats
have never had an opportunity to
put their policies into effect. And
unfortunately for the country, as we
believe, there ran be no change In
Iglslrtlon with the election of Ilryan,
for the Republicans will almost sure
ly control the senate for the next
four years. Senator Daniel says:
•'No Democrat should lack In ef
fort to brin&'about the success of
our party and the welcome changes
which would he wrought through its
elevation to power. It has been
forty-eight years since the Demo
cratic party was In power, with the
single exception of two years under
one of Cleveland’s administrations,
and the reforms that will be brought
about by this restoration to power
should stimulate all Democrats to
their best exertions.”

Now. Jimmie Hughes, the silver
plumed piratical politician who
abandoned his principles and assist
ed in the Wayne county outrage hy
order of a well heeled constituent,
has roturnd to the scene of his
perfidy for another whirl.
This time he hurried from the
remedial waters of French Lick to
participate in a Wayne organiza
tion light. Rather commonplace
labor, say you, for a statesman.
Well, .fame* only looks like a states
man in congress motion to adjourn
is a proper limit for his leglsatlve
activity, but in a Job such as this
required he is a pastmaster.
Thi- time he appears In the role
of a bolter, because that was the
only '■ay he could make a pretense
of w nninsr for the hirsute phenom
.s o :■ on th< win Before the con
vention a* Charleston he was able
to turn a trick in Wayne by the not
, unusual adoption of sheep'* clothing.
| but on thi occasion the humble
voter was too wily for any similar
natup fakim? -t ints, and so the if
c. funk ofT to a hail with his mi
nority follow trig.
If offense v»e uggesfed at the
;>erha ^ undignified tone in which
this member of congress is refer
red to here, it may be said to the
j Fifth that when uch methods are
effectively tabooed that when the
pe »pb replace rhi politician with
i congressman who has a proper ap
i rcr ntlon of hiL position and duties,
his paper will cladly accord him

I ho state Democratic convention
of \V>wt Virginia hua adopted a plank
In its platform which demandM the
disfranchisement of the negro.
I he action of the Democrats In
a border state like that has «ome
thiiiK more than a local significance
and II wljl serve to^imulate th<!
other states. not only of the south,
but of the whole country, to elimi
nate the ignorant negro voter wher
ever he may be found.
The people of the United States,
wherever they are not absolutely
blinded by partisanship or self in
terest, are rapidly reaching the con
clusion to which Mr. Ilryan gave
expression some time ago, to the
effect that the north would net In
this matter Just as the south is do
ing If confronted with the same
conditions.
As sectional bitterness expires,
the deliberate Judgment of the peo
pie comes to the realization that
the adoption or the fourteenth ami
fifteenth amendments was a grave
mistake. it may bo years before
the work that was done In the days
of passion and prejudice can be un
done directly, but In the meantime
It is possible to accomplish very
much the same thing by means of
the just and legal disfranchisement
enactments such ns has been pro
posed in Georgia.
The state of Georgia took a long
step forward when it decided to sub
mit to the people this constitution
al amendment which is to l>o voted
upon in the general election. Every
day confirms the wisdom of the stop
and when we find such states as
West Virginia preparing to follow
in our footsteps It is easy to see that
the day is not far distant when there
will he no dissenting voice through
out the coiuitry, and we will then
he in a position to secure an out
right repeal of the odious amend
ments which have kept the south lu
social and political bondage for so
many years.—Atlanta Journal.
