We Southern Democrats have been so often, so long and so grievously disappointed, that many of us have given up all hope and lost heart of ever again electing a president. The crush ing defeat four years ago of Judge Parker seems to have given our party a solar plexus blow. But with a patriotic.de votion, regLularly every four years, we have marched in solid phalanx to the polls, to read next morning, in the daily pa pers, of another Republican tri umplh. But there is no room in our Dixie land -for any new party, for Democracy to the South means more than any empty name or political affilia tion. It means to us the su premacy and domination of the Anglo-Saxon over the African. Just so long as the negro re mains among us, and is armed with the ballot, the white mle wil! sta.-d together and vote to gether. Even if we lose in the nationil contest, it insures to us our local an(d state governments. But somehow this year we have a strong inward belief that Wi. J. Bryan will be our next presi. [hose who have watelel the political skies since! the <lo(N of our great civil war assert that the prospects for Democratic success were never brighter than just now. In the first place, in the midst of an era of unpai alleled prosperity, Ver: hard time3 mi low upon us, and for which disastrous state of affairs the-Republican party is solely responsible, as it dontfols the presidency and both branches of congress. The vot ers of our republic have -never as yet failed to administer de feat to the party in power when a panic is on durink 4 campaign year. We Democrats lost con trol from this cause during President Cleveland's second term. . Again, the Republicans are now on the defensive, aiid'we have never known a candidate or party to win when you t him or them to explaining. The .Demoorats are now the aggress ors and the Republicans the apologists. Then we have never been able to secure the labor vote in the N6rth, and which holds the balance of power In 3several~ doubtful states, for the Republican cry of "a full din -~ner-pail" carrie<tthis vote almost .holid. But now the labor vote in-bedly split up and divided, if the Democrats do not capture 't almost entire, and it does lo that way. Then the disgrace ful disclosures made in investi ~ating certain large concerns in Iewi York, and which have heretofore -contributed millions to the Republican campaign cor ruption fund, have dried up that source of supply, and we lhate thus taken from our political enemies their sinews of war, as iwere, And as. these corpora owe their exposure and toSMic to Roosevelt, they' will naturally look upon with cold ness, if not rus6rt to acts of actual hostility agastMr T1aft, who is pied t cary otpoliCcy of me adminis tra ndwe could ge still nd give other-Measons '~w1 'we. so confidently expect -and hope to see our Demiocratic ~ominee triumph next Tuesdy: XWe fdel it in our bogies -that ~~Bryan will be a winbeW, ~< The South hs thrto gain K~~ Rpublic&n or that yhas alway ~ 4er will, tonize our a labor epbac 4# ncemuent upbi ecton is Heartse ewparty, Uay cause us the loss o York, a pivotal state. N xt Tuesday, Nov , l,"is tion day. and it bebopves eyey voter who has a registrationicet tificate to go to the polls and vote. The primary election was only a nominating convention, and'the tug of war comes Tues day. If it is a light vote it may mean a grear, deal to the state in the way of our representation in congress being cut down-a thing that should not -be done. The Republicens and powers that be will leave no stone un turned to hold the- South back or establish, a party in it, either of which would be detrimental. Hunt up your registration cer tificate and go vote. It has been revealed that those Archbold letters that He'arst is makilg public -were stolen by a colored porter from that Stand ard Oil magnate's office. As old Foreacre, the waver of 'that Brownsville bloody shirt, was one of the first republican states men those documents struck out, it can but remind us of cooking a kid in its mother's milk. As he sinks beneath the wave of political oblivion, and as his gaze rests upon that treacherous coon, he will doubtless exclaim, "'Et tu Brutus!" - When John Temple Graves the other day began to attack Bryan in a speech he was deliv ering in a New Yqrk city, he was silenced with yells and hiss es. Mr. Graves was born in Ab beville county, S. C., and raised a democrat. The people of the entire South were proud of his brilliant intellect. Mr. Grayes imst know there is no possible chaice of his Independence League cairying a single state. So the only thing he can hope to accomplish by defeating Bry an is to elect Taft. Senator Tiilman, who has re cently returned from his Euro pean tour, in an. interview insin uates that Standard Oil money was used to corrupt certain-pa ners in South Carolina. If the Seliator has reason for such a serious charge - he should name the offenders, and not leave the entire press of our state to stand under such suspicion. The edi tor of the Sentinel-Journal can establish an alibi. Next week the Stntinel-Jour nal will not go to press until Wednesday afternoon, in order to give our readers the Atest news of the Presidential elegtion. By rushing things we can make every mail. We are determined that our patrons need not go sto other papers for the all- news of the day. Teddy should now use that Big Stick on some of his own hoine folks and chums. 14 se'ems that they managed somehow to gob ble up most of the $40,000,000 Uncle Sam. paid that French company for the Panama ditch. This is very serious charge, and can*iol be answered by & lence. prom the revelati ns of cor rhtion made 4bQU?i trepubl Inadministration, it would por &ps be advisable for Charleston tsend Washington a consign ment of her tame buzzards,. to he'p purify that city. The most hopeful sign point ing to democratic success next week is that no bets stre offered on either candidate. Heretofore big odds wer'e given on the re publican nominee. Money talks.
