Republi-1 cans Bad control; for sir' years they had brought shame an disgrace;' it looked as if there was no hope for victory; .In this hour Democracy look-T ed over the State . to- seleqt a man to lead them to victory. They selected Senator Simmons. He conducted such "a vrgorous and glorious 'campaign that the Republicans were buried so . .deep that we will never let vthem come back-again. t : f . . 4 - He referred further to disgraceful i 'conducts of: the Republicans ? in " plac ' ing the Aegroes in.poweA - " . - Senator Simmons thanked1 Mr.'rAy-' dlett for " the very ' complimentary a terms which ihe. used in -reference to him, but he said: .

J The speaker said that he would be gin in. the, beginning and give the - genesis of Democracy ' -an ' would speak of the ,time when . the . black foe was met and ' conqured.. "The .Democratic party, has -stood : for white supremacy the Republi can party for black-man in power; Democracy has denied the negro the r Ft-. to ,vot& the . Republican party has fought' to give. Jiim the power.' . He referred to the silence .of. the Republican platform on ; the r negro suffrage question. '"Why, this silence? .Does it mean that the Republican party, acquiesces? Does it -admit that we were right and they were- wrong ? ' "I do not wish to dnjectthe negro ; Into tbe campaign. J wish .". the Repub licans could unload him. I think the . Republicans , would like to get rid .of him." ut how can ; the : Republican . party keep the .negro out by keeping . him? hid in.tview of the National plat form and'the . attitude of the 5 National v Republican candidate, ; and the threat of Northern Republicans to - reduce '1 Southern ": representation in Congress l i on account of our constitution amend r . menu.'4 '' j. - ... , " v - "The only way- to .take the - negro out oi, pontics is ,io eiect;a liemocrat .

"There -is quite a little .difference in the size of my feet, and I have a! sorts. cf trouble getting fitted. but when I went into this store the sales mismated siioes ot ditferent sizes that I ought to fit each foot perfect ly.
