' Mr. Editor: Of the state
elections that came off on the
,3rd most people were watch
ing Ohio and New York City
as an index to what m9y hap
pen next year. Ohio stand
for what chronic boodleism
can do. New York City stands
for the fact that Boo k i r
n.nflavflt'R nwD citv does
not endorse his ad ministra
tion, his own oting friends
o i n g 'Democrat i by 43
votes. Roosevelt entertain
ed six niggers at the White
Housellunch table on the day
before the electidu, and thib
insulted tbe;intelligeneof the
American people by coming
-out squarely for negro equal
ity. ..He thought by this to
carry the MarylanJ election,
but Senator Gorman spatter
d bisexpecta tions into smith
reehs. His own city .gave
him a kick for his strenuous
fienegarobian proclivities;
and also to resent thft unpar
donable slight he offered to
the memory of the dead hero.
-Gen. Geoge B. MeCleilan. in
his oration at An t le t arm.
New York City elected his son
Geonre B. McClellan, jr., May
or of the .treat city. principal
y to show Booker a thingor
two. He expects to be nora
inated br his party next year
and if he is, the American
people who vote for him will
be voting squarely for negro
equality, although they have
always denied it heretofore.
There can b no dodging the
fact. But as for myself I think
Hanna will be nominated.
The N. Y. Hrald thinks the
Democrats should nominate
Cleveland. I do not. If Han
na should get the nomination
nndGrover should: head J he
Democrat ticket, the honest
. people coulcf have no ti'ket
vnfp fnr that would be In
v I v w
the least degree decent as they
are both eminent boodlers.
Tliov Imih snek eirtrt. but
Grover hides the shells. Now,
when you talk to a republican
who can read about the way
this rotten administration in
being conducted, they will
erin at yon and swear that
they don'tliketheway things
are going. But yon just wait
until election day and you
will find these same, grinning
idiots going up to the polls
screaming for Booker Roose
velt and nigger quality.
Phantom.
The elections of fast week,
it seems to ns, were full of en
couragement for the demo
cratic party throughout the
country, and surely bespeaks
for it a great victory in 1904.
The party bus not made any
great gains, save in the mu
nicipal elections of New York,
where George . B. McClellan,
democrat, was elected by a
majority of 70,000, butbave
held Its own most vahently,
even in the -strong holds of
republicanism. '
The democrats in Mary-
land elected their Governor
aud the next legislature of
that State will be democrat
ic, which insures the election
of a United States Senator to
succeed a republican. .
Rhode Island is very close,
hut democrats claim that
Gov. Garvin has been re-elec
ted by a small majority.
Governor Beckham, the
Democratic Governor, of Ken
tucky, was re-elected by .a
nice majority.
The Democrats carried Col
orado, Mississippi and Vir
ginia. '
The republicans, ns was ex
pected, carried Ohio, Iowa,
Pennsylvania and Nebraska.
Tom Johnson, the democrat
ic candidate for Governor of
Ohio, was buried under a re
publican majority of 100,-
000: and Hanna will have
an increased majority for btn
ator in the legislature.
It is indeed gratifying to
a .i If I -1 I
Know raiuiniirjiauu uuuxvfii
tucky are again safely within
the democrat it? fold, and the
hope that Tammany will do
as well in the State of New
York' next year, as it has
in the municipal election this
makes the outlook very en
couraging.

cause for thankfulness in the

Acknowledgement of mercies

Victory in The Air.
The reports of the refusal
of Senator -Hanna to serve
as national chairman during
the next campaign are espec
iully significant in view of
the known fact that the Ohio
senator is at outs with Pres
ident Roosevelt. The reports
once bo strenuously .denied
are now alio wed. to , go nn
queatiom-d and there little
doubt that Hanna haspnded
hiscureei as. national chair
man. -Somebody has been dump
ed. The only question is as to
whether Roosevelt has drop
pedHa nu a or Hanna has
dropped Roosevelt, and the
democratic party' doesn't
need to worry over the prop
option. In either case the
fact that there is a terrible
row on among the republican
complete working order. The
President's message for the
extra session will be a abort
one and will deal exclusively
with the question of Cuban
reciprocity, which is the spec
ial business before Congress,
On Saturday tha party cau
cuses were held and both par
ties chose their leaders, In
what promises to bf . an in
tensely interesting and politi
cally important session. The
Cuban reciprocity legislation
must originate as a, bill in
the House, aud when it gets
to the Senate there will be
much tariff talk, which the
republicans will encourage,
believing that the countty is
with them, and furthermore
that in this way they can
prevent a discussion of t h e
scandals iu the different de
partments. In fact they seem
to have chosen the tariff dis
cussion as the lesser .of the
two evils. The condition of
affairs in .Colombia ma be
considered in, the Senate and
there is a chance that an at
tempt will be made to ratify
the Chinese treaty at once, in
order to forestall .Russia's
actions in Manchuria.

Dr. Basset. Professor of
English in Trinity College at
Durham, has suddenly be
come famous. In adoition
to teaching, be is editing a
quarterly periodical called
the South Atlantic Review.
In the last edition of this here
tofore unknown publication.
he printed an article by his
own pen on the negro ques
tion, in which. he went bow
shot ahead of Roosevelt or
any of the other Hocinl equa
ity advocates of the North.
The first-not ice we saw o
this remarkable deli vera n4
was in a long editorial in
last Saturday's New York
Sun. Editor, and Professor
Basset evidently Bent the
Snn an advance copy of bis
Review. The Sun's revie of
tlw Bn-sett Review's negro
editorial was on the line of
expressing surprise that a
Southern man could dare to
take so independent and ad
vanced position on .the -race
question. It was in the. ma In
commendatory but ; not at
all gushing. The Sun'; pub
lican as it is, is not for social
equality and has given Rpose
velt some terrible blow on
that line. '
But to return to Bassett
and the-Review: One of the
striking sentences of the ar
tide asserted that, with the
exception of Robert E Je,
Booker Washington is the
greatest man that has been
born in the South during the
last hundred years. This
was extremely absurd, and
shows the Professor as lamen
tahly lacking in scholarship
and learning, ns he is in pro
priety and common sense.
Hut this is the least impor
tant Ieaturof the monstos
ity. It prescribes social e-
qnality as the solution of
the race problem and prH
diets that sontiqn. Newton
