' ..vuovuviubin ?UU pcavciuxr Jivi^cns something for which to I truly thankful. V | The truth is a more idiaaceful little rowdy than Blease ntr has obtruded himself on the asB'iation of a company of gentlemen. Taimany in its worst daysnev er sent abwhere anything like him. He accomjished two unprecedented feats. He, fh governor of a State, by a speech,drove the women from his audience; >ad he is the first governor in the hiatry of the country to bring on hiipftl the formal repudiation and rebukeic the assembled governors of twent^five, or more, of the sister States. }b he holds the record. The first g^trnor of a State expelled from his college by vote of the student bodjF^fap deliberately stealing another mank essay for a prize competition ^nd accepting the prize won by the jritolen essay; the first governor to .whom well bred women refused to listen; the first governor formally and officially denounced by his fellow governors. Yet the incidents at Richmond probably will increase the popularity af Blease at home. He will brag there and strut and tell how he chased the high-toned society women of the countrv Ollt. of si V* *111 onH nf linw '1? fied and insulted the "dead old governors" of other States; and of how ie told everybody to pro to hell and proclaimed himself to the newspaper nen as "a cold-blooded fiprhting man'.' (whereat the reporters most justifiably lauprhed) and of how he boasted I pf his love for lynchinpr and his use | ef his pardoninpr power to turn loose 1 criminals and shouted "to hell with he constitution!" It is says to say that his constituency will applaud him' warr ; while :he substantial people of tne State, will look on, prrieved and. hclplejfe while the South Carolinlarth throuprh the country will be asi f^tned;| while other people will wonder that >uch thinge can be; while poor old Senator Tillman will moan, as well is he can, over the new standards he established in South Carolina, of which Blease is a logical and inevita>le product. We have some Blepse spirit and ?tvle here in Vire-inin inst. now? >rominently hut unconsciously expressed in the pulpit and amonp women and seventy-five thousand alleged hut ananyzed petitions. "To hell with the constitution! To hell with the courts! To hell with the law!" It is Blease exactly. Some of us have no cause to quarrel with him or to reproach South Carolina. One correspondent of The Roanoke Times already has expressed his sighing for a governor of Virginia like the governors of South Carolina and Tennessee. "Let the people rule." Fortunately, the weight of the Vir 1M-. 4L una OCIIIIIIIUIII <11111 puwer, 1IKU lilt' weight of Virginia tradition, is for the law and order and sure performance of it. Therefore, Governor Mann and the other governors will have the corddial support of the great mass of Virginians in their repudiation and condemnation of Blease. Mistook His Audience. (From the Norfolk Virginia-Pilot.) South Carolina's Governor evidently has the courage of his conviction that convicts are on the whole rather superior to the average law-abiding citizen. Before the Conference of Governors at Richmond he flaunted his sympathy with crime and criminals without an apparent idea that his sentiments aroused nothing but disgust among his auditors. His address would doubtless have been received with applause if delivered to the inmates of the Virginia peniten tiary. Not Wanted. (From the Buffalo Enquirer) The speech of Governor Blease was an insult to the assembled Governors. South Carolina lacks the virtue either to defeat Blease at the polls or turn him out of office he shows himself unfit to fill. The "House of Governors," however, should have the virtue to command him to absent himself from its sessions. South Carolina's Humiliation. (From the New York World.) Lincoln used to tell about the Southern orator who "mounted the platform, threw hack his head, shined his eyes, opened his mouth and left ar-? ?_? The Ringing Roll of "Dixie." Frank L. Staunton, Atlanta Constitution.) rhe old brigades march slower now? the boys who wore the gray? 3ut there's life and battle spirit in a host o' them today! rhey hear their comrades callin' from "the white tents far away, And answer with the ringing roll of "Dixie!" rhey feel the old time thrill of it? the battle plains they see? And they charge with Jackson and face the fight with Lee; A i i.i _i i.:_? u:ii_ ?.i r\nu x,ne snouuri nuts tire aiiswert-u by the thunder of the sea When they rally to the ringing roll of "Dixie!" The battle fields are voiceless?once wet with crimson rain; O'er unknown graves of heroes wave golden fields of grain; But phantom forms?the leap to life and cheer the ranks again, For answering to the ringing call of "Dixie!* urBeat, drums, the old time chorus, and bugles, blow your best; And wave, O Flags, they loved so well above each war scared breast! 'Till THEY vanish down the valley to their last eternal rest, Still answering to the ringing roll of "Dixie!" the consequences to God." No more accurate description of Cole Blease, Governor of South Carolina, could be written. But how long are the people of that unfortunate State to tolerate the Blease type of public official ? Has no South Carolina's humiliation at Richmond been a sufficient lesson? "South Carolina Has the Nation's Sympathy." (From the Atlanta Journal.) Our good neighbors of South Carolina have the sympathy of the entire Union, and especially of the South, over having been represented by such a swashbuckler and demagogue as the person who now happens to be their Chief Executive. They find it intolerable enough, we are sure, to have Illease at home, but what must bn their chagrin when he ventures abroad. There are few men of even his type who are so thoroughly lost to every sense of decency that they would purposely seek to disgrace their Commonwealth at a great national gath<ring. He is not only coarse and demagogic and anarchistic, but he is boastful of being so; he is defiant toward the law and toward the most reassured traditions of his State. South Carolina is, indeed, to be pitied. * s . .Tlie Rebuke of the Governors. >From the Richmond Virginian.) The resolution nrlnnlnd liu the Pnn. ference of Governors yesterday signifying the disagreement of its members with the anarchistic sentiments of Governor Blease, of South Carolina, and expressive of their belief in the sacredness of the people's laws voices the sentiment of all the lawabiding citizens of the United States. Governor Mann's resolution which v. as adopted, while moderate in tone, is clear and emphatic. The people of all the States of the Union will endorse the language. "All the States" because we believe that the law-abiding people of South Carolina are in the majority, though for some reasons, good or bad, best known to themselves, they have seen fit to elect to high office the man whom those resolutions rebuke. Governor Blease may declare his unconcern that he is the object of the disapproval and the censure of representatives of the vast proportion of the people of this nation, but if this declaration be not pretense Cole Bleasc is a worse man than even his enemies were inclined to believe him to be.
