(Atlanta ((ia ) Journal. J
. Senator O'Gorman of New York de
clare* tluil Wood row W I loon If choseu
.the Democratic nominee can carry tbat
state again* t any Uepubllcan.
? weightier comment on present day
politics has not bean made. It crushes
the flimsy pretension that Woydrow
Wilson's candidacy would lose or im
peril the party's chance In New York
state and indicates his strength in the
strategic center o f the eaat ua well as
in the west and the south.
Coming ^from a leader of Senator
O'Gorman'a prestige and farslgbted
ness, this eatimate ia particularly sig
nificant Hb is the titular head of the
Democracy of New York, a state that
baa ninety votea in the nominating
convention and forty-five votea in the
electoral college, the atate for wkiqfc
both parties strive most vigorously in
presidential years as the key to na
tional success, lie baa the support of
Tammany Hall, but be is immeasura
bly beyond and above the system with
which Tammany ia identified In tb*
publio mind. He la versed in prac
tical politics , but he Is also a akates
man of apotlesa record and of rare
ability, so much ao indeed that when
he was called to the aeclate the people
as * whole, regardless ot party con
nections, rejoiced tbat the duties of the
office had Allen upon a man ao emi
nently fitted to bear them.
Ot fl.ll the Democratic nominees yet
suggested Woodrow Wilson would not
only stand the largest chance to carry
New York, but, according to the recent
testimony of Senator Gardner of
Maine, be is the only Democrat who
could win portions of New England.
From the -clear headed testimony of
these two eminent Democrats* Sena
tor O'Gorman of New York and Sena
tor Gardner of Maine, it ia evident that
Governor Wilson is particularly strong
in the very places wherein- hi* foes
would have us believe he is fatally
weak.
When to this fact 1b added the confi
dence and tha, following be has w^n
over the country as a whole there can
be no fair minded doubt that ef^all
the aspir%pts in the field to is by far
the best fitted, both as a statesman and
n candidate. ? a*

?? M
York World.]
The World is unable to agree
with its friend Colonel Watter
oon that. "tli? Woodrow Wilson
presidential bopm haa started on
the down grade."
Viewing the situation' without'?,
prejudice, we should say that ths
governor of New Jsrssy is still
ths leading Demooratio candidate
for the nomination and that he
is Still the only candidate who
has shown strength in alt sec
tions of the oountry.
GOV. WILSON'S CANDIDACY.
; ?
Harris burg (Pa.) Patriot: "Hon.
James O'Gorman, who left the bench
of the supreme court of New York to
become a senator of the Unlte<UStates,
shows poetical acumen when he e??
presses the opinion that Woodrow Wil
Kon could carry New York and by a
larger majority than any Qther 'man
who has been mentioned for the Deity
ocratic nomination for president"
Corslcana (Tex.) t Sun: "Looks as
though the more fight made against
Governor Wilson the stronger hla sup
port grows. Governor Wilson knows
the political game as well as those
who are in It with him."
'
Bradentown (Fla.) Herald: "United
States Senator N. p. Bryan tits declar
ed for Woodrow Wilson for president
Senator Bryan doesn't make any grand
stand plays, but his sympathies are
with his constituents."
Montrose (Colo.) Enterprise: "The
Democratic party will make a grave
mistake if It falls to place Woodrow
Wilson at the head of its national
ticket? a mistake which will more tftan
likely dost it the presidency."
Bockford (WW Star: "It Is Woodrow
Wilson against the field and against
Wfll street., too." . fV':. ;

BLACK KBTTte.
' Three hundred French soldiers
started forth ia Jubilant spirit* from
Montreal. They aimed to raid New
York una to destroy the Iroquois set
tlement at Niagara. It was a move
whoae perfect success might well
have proved the opening wedge
whereby in time New York would
have becom? a French province.
But between Canada and the set
tled portions of New York stretched
lands, of the "Six Nations," which
formed the tierce Iroquois confeder
acy. i And it was ostensibly against
the Iroquois that this expedition was
sent. The "Six Nations" formed a red
barrier between New York** and
Franco's greed. '
Bo sudden was the French Invasion
that there was no time to mage a
force of Iroquois wtrong enough to re?
- pel thoiu. nut an Onandaga chief of
the "Six Nations," known and dreaded
by the French M "Chaudlere Noire"
("BlacU Kettle*'), sumoned eighty of
his braves and hastened to meet the
Invaders. He waa too wily a general
to oppose his eighty men In open field
against a force nearly four times as
large as their own.. He was paepared
to lose his own life and to sacrlfloe
the lives of his followers* But for
those liven be was resolved to get as?
high a price as possible. 80, Instead
of attacking the French In "etand up"
battle, ho met them In a long running
fight through the wilderness; using
every rock, and tree as a barrier, and
firing eternally at bU enemies from
behind ?uch Oovpr.
A Famous "Running Fight.*
Such a fight, against a vastly supe
rior force, could have but one final re
sult. Ktich Indian slew more than one
of 1## oes, and almost out to pieces
the French expedition. Yet Black Ket
tle's company was utterly wiped out.
To pay for the I6ss of his braves,
Black Kettle the next year raided
western Canada and laid waste many
miles of French settlements. Ho had
paid bis debt and bad, moreover, giv
en the French a wholesome Idea of
the dangers of Invading New York.
In 1691 Black Kettle was one of the
prime movers In an Iroquois plot to
destroy the Canadian trading posts
and villages near Montreal. His plans
were betrayed to the French by an In
dian woman and the expedition ended
In defeat.
i.o punisn-tnis attack the French
: swept down upon hunting parties of
the Iroquois who were encamped
around the St. Lawrence river. Black
Kettle was quite ready to enter Into
Buch 'a game <5f retaliation. He knew
that large bands of friendly Indians
traded In furs with the French at Mon
treajLytind that such bands went to
and from Montreal guarded by French
troop*. By assailing these traders he
would, not only be showing Indians
the danger of friendship with the
French, but would also be wounding
the latter in a vulnerable Bpot ? the
bftnk-> account ? by breaking up their
fur trade..
So he fell upon allr?uch trading par
ties; killing both the friendly Indians
and their French guards, and seizing
the precious furs they carried. So
successful was Black Kettle at this
style of warfare that he-was embol
dened to plan a home-thrust against
his French foes. The scheme was
audacious? ttfmost insanely so. Yet
In its very audacity lay its chance of
success... '
Collecting the pick of his warriors
and making long, secret marches,
Black Kettle, on July 16, boldly at
tacked the city of Montreal. Through
the streets be rushed at the head of
his braves; slaying, plundering, tak
ing prisoners. Then, before the
(French could fly t<X arms,, he was gone
again and well on his homeward way,
laden with booty and captives. ~
The Last Great Exploit.
But thus hampered, Black Kettle's
victorious band could not make their
usual swift progress. A rescue party
was hastily formed at Montreal and
gave chaise. In order to escape to his
own |and with a whole skin, Black
Kettle was obliged to release his pris
oners, That same year, however, he
atoned to his wounded self-respect for
the 10#s by attacking a marching rsgi
ment of Frenchmen and killing theft
leader, the Sleur de Lu sign an.
But this was the last* of Black Ket
tle's noted exploits. In 1697 he made
peace with the French. While he was
on a hunting trip near Cattaraugus,
during the progress of the peace
\ negotiations, he was ambushed and
murdered by several of . France's Al
gonquin allies. His slayejrs either did
not krtow the War between Black Ket
tle apd the French was at an end, or
they Wantonly disregarded the peace
treaty. *
