VARDAMANISM. Governor V'ardaman ol Miosissip pi, is developing into a public char acter, on his views respecting the Negio. He exists in the shadow of the Chief Justice Taney decision which says‘“that a Negro has no rights that a white man is bound to respect” and says in a recent utterance on the Ohio lynching that “Laws suited to the white man do not fit the Negro, and the Fifteenth Amendment to the federal Consti* tution should be repealed.” and yet he has taken a successful and forcible stand against lynching, during his administiation. The peculiarity of the man is evident. It has not been forgotten that it cost his State $250,000. to protect the lite ol a Negro recently, and the governor insists that the prisoner shall be accorded atrial regardless of cost. He confesses, through his utterances, that he has no human interest in the Negro race, still the same law that he seeks to uphold, guarantees equal rights and privileges to all men. We cannot harmonize his public utterances with his official acts. It seems to us that when he talks, he is Vardanian the Southerner, but when he acts, he is the man. We are prone to believe that regardless of his environments the heart rules the head, and due praise and commendation must be accorded him. Governor Vardaman respects the laws of his State and intends to see that others shall do likewise It is the desired step toward an elimination of the lynch ing evil and other law violations. His peculiar attitude though must be distinctly a Yardaman characteristic.

The white press can help solve the Negro problem, by less display and “featuiing”of Negro criminality.

Col. Harry B. Smith has apnoon ced that a Colored member of the Executive Committee will be appointed. This is a just recognition of the worth of a substanial element of strength in the Republican

party

Edward Snurbier, candidate for Sheriff is making a dignified raoe and leads the field. He is deserving of a hearty support and the Recorder urges that such support be accorded him. His success means your success. Delegates to the County convention, especially those of, color, should make it a matter of personal interest to see that their vote anci influence is given to candidates who will do the right thing by the Race, if nominated and elected. We drop this hint in view of the large number of candidates whose fittness will not bear scrutiny. Via itors to the County offices, will find a Colored clerk in every office and they reflect credit on their employers and their Race. We desire for this to continue, and great care must be exercised. A hint to the wise is sufficient.
