mm to r ) ' HOODWINKJEGROES 1 Pemocrats Pursuing Their Usual ' I Double Faced Policy. IJpholdffiB Diafranchlavmant In th« South While Forming Colored Bryan CI a be In Wart. ' [From the Baltimore Bud. Den.] General W Infield S. Hancock, who prats the Democratic nominee for president In 1880, declared the tariff was principally a "local question"— that la fh> aay, a Pennsylvania Democrat gnipht be a protectionist for protection's sake, while a Democrat In Georagla or in Iowa might hold fast to the Moctrine of a tariff for revenue only. (The Massachusetts Democrat might be a free trader without reservation of My kind, while the West Virginia (Democrat might be a free trader only wrlth respect to commodities which iwsee not produced by his own state. General Hancock's pronouncement p-flf sn Ingenious evasion at the tariff lasue, but" it dld not produce harmony In the Democratic P"tj, and the general was defeated. Twenty-eight years have passed since General Hancock defined the tariff as a local question upon which the Democrats of each state were free to act with regard chiefly to local interests. The principle which be then formulated seems to have been adopted by Democrats In the west in respect to the relation of the Democratic party to the negro. Last week the West Virginia Democratic convention embodied lu its platform planks demanding certain qualifications tor voters, designed to disfranchise many negroes. Their platform also contains a declaration in favor of separate coaches for white and negro passengers on railroads. The West Virginia Democrats not only refuse to hold out the olive branch to the negro and Invite him into their fold, but they are determined to limit his political activity by a disfranchising law and to brln^ him under the operation of a "Jim' Crow" law when he travelB on the railroads of that state. What Are the Promisee? Out in Nebraska and lu Kansas the Democratic campaign managers ure' organizing negro voters Into Bryan clubs. In Ohio no effort will be spared to secure the support of the negro .voters for the Democratic national ticket. What pledges have been given and what inducements have been offered does not appear. But It is a fair Inference that the managers have promised to do "something for the negro," perhaps to recognize him in the distribution of offices. If Mr. Bryan ehOuld be elected, and also to take such action as the negroes may demand in reepect to the reinstatement of the negro battalion dismissed from the army by President Roosevelt for the attack on Brov. nsvllle. Last week when the West Virginia Democrats id al fIr t»

were declaring for a disfranchisement — law and for a "Jim Crow" law the Democratic convention in the Twelfth congressional district of Ohio adopted a platform favoring "the enactment of laws which shall accord to all men accused of wrongdoing, whether soldiers or civilians, a fair and Impartial trial and an opportunity to he heard before conviction or punishment." This apparently refers to the BrownsTille incident. It may also have a broader meaning and a more extended application aud may be susceptible of an Interpretation whleh will make southern Democrats open their eyes with amazement and possibly with apprehension. Race Question "Local Issue?' There seetns to be uo ground for reasonable doubt that the Democratic campaign managers in the west. In the ■ effort to seenre ucgro support for their national ticket, arc acting upon the principle that the race question Is only a "local issue." It Is evident thnt the south does not approve this plan of campaign, but is powerless to check it The Demqetucy of the south is In full accord with the position takeu by the West Virginia Democrats last week. And yet It is assumed by those who are trying to -get negroes to support Mr. Bryan thnt the south will act in hearty co-operation with the Ohio. Nebraska. Kansas and Illinois Democrats who are welcoming the negro into free fellowship In the Democratic party and probably promising to annul the decision of President Roosevelt -in the Brownsville matter. The theory of western Democrats tbatihe race problem is merely a local Issue Is calculated to give the south much concern. Many Democrats In that section may question whether it Is worth while to elect a Democratic president who may open wide the door of political opportunity to the negro. Chafin Needs an Ark. "Never since the flood has water reached such a hfgh tide as at present," says thgfdry candidate for prcsi dent Look-4-ng If he might be swept \ away in the freshet Rattling the Skeleton. Eugene W. Chafin, the Prohibition candidate, was born in Waukesha. Wisconsin's foremost watering place — New York Mail. None of the Bryan phonograph records has the speeches advocating free cilvqr and Immediate government ownof the railways, nor. have they the "great commoners" attacks on Anger Silvan? Colonel Watterson and Cuffey. These omissions tell an important story.
