We heard George Foster Pea body, tlie wise, golden-hearted philanthropist, declare concerning Edward M.

And Hughes, of New York, Weaver, of Philadelphia, and Joseph W.

Crenshaw, who has an nounced himself a cindidate for railroad commissioner, in opposi tion to lion. S. G. McLendon, the nominee of the State Democratic Con vention, defies the organized D nii.cr.icy ot the State and should be treated as tne arrant and impu dent independent and party dis ruption ist that he is. By announc ing his candidacy in opposition to the nominee of the State Demo cratic convention, he places his political head in range as an in viting target for every loyal Dem ocratic voter in the State and none should fail to crack it. We see that Mr. Crenshaw asks the people of the State to suspend judgment on his case until he pre pares and issues "an address to all voters of the State, giving them reasons for his candidacy and why he should be elected.” It matters not what Mr. Cren shaw may allege in Ids promised address to "all the voters of the State,” he will not be able to get around the fact that Mr. McLen don, whom he opposes, is the nom inee of the Democratic party The State Democratic Conven tion at Micon pulled down all bar riers and opened wide the door of the party to all white voters, ex tending the hand of cordial wel come to Populists, Independents and all others who had for any rea son left the party housenoid, and this announcement of an inde pendent candidate for a state of fice in opposition to the party nom inee is without excuse.
