ADVANCED Conservative newspapers

at what they called Emperor Fred
erick's illusions in his recent address

servative papers reserved their Opin-
ion. except to reject the idea that En-
peror Frederick reference to religious
federation is directed against DIR.
Stoecker's anti-Semitic campaign. The
Liberals greatly approved the Empe-
ror's utterances, while scientific and
art circles greeted them as heralding a
new era. The Government press made
no reference to the proclamation.

American citizen. The West could

Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committee:
pray you TO accept my very sincere
thanks for the kind and courteous
manner in which you have cOmmuni-
Gated to me the official information of
my nomination by the st. Louis con-
vention. You know without my say
ing it, that L am profoundly grateful
to the convention and to the Demo-
cratic party for the honor conferred
upon me, and the more so that it waa
wholly unsought and undesired by
me; not that l underYalued a distinc-
ton which any man of our party how
ever eminent, might highly prize, but
simply because / had ceased to be am
bilious of public life. But when | am
told in SO earnest and impressive
manner that can still render service
to the good cause to which l have ever
been deYOted-a cause to which L am
bound by the ties of affection, by the
dictates of judgment, by sense of
obligation for favors so often conferred
upon me, and by fervent hope that
the party may long continue 20 be able
to serve the republic, what can l, un-
der such circumstances, do but yield
my private wishes to the demand OF
those whose opinions l am bound to
respect? [Applause. Gentlemen,
with an unfeigned diffidence in my
ability to fulfill the expectations that
led to my nomination, yet feel 1t to
be my duty to accept it and do all that
may be in my power to do to merit so
marked distinction. Gentlemen, the
country is blessed by an able and hon
est administration of the general gov
ernment. [Applause,] We have a
President who wisely, bravely, dill
gently and patriotically discharges the
duties of his office. [ fully believe

country require his reelection, and

Demagogism and greed-those are the
two supports of their extraordinary
platform. The one object of the party
managers is success, and for this end
they court the crowd with a catchword
and the rich with bribe."
The New York Times saws: "And this
is the policy Of the Republican party in
the face of the condition of the national
treasury, of the inability of American
industry and commerce to find adequate
markets for the product of American
labor and of the prove1 and confessed
evils of over-taXation. Increase the
taxes on the materials of industry, on
the clothing and shelter and tools of the
workingman. increase the cost of pro-
duction and of transportation and of
living, repeal the taxes on the mischiev
Gus luXuries Of tobacco and liquor, and
if this does not meet the case throw the
money of the people into every channel
that can he made to take it. All the
evils of unnecessary taxation, all the
corrupting influences of extravagant ex-
penditure, are not only risked but court
ed in order that the protected monopol-
lists who in the words of a Republican
United States Senator, make large for
tunes every year by their special privi-
leges under the tariff, NAV make still
larger ones, and oftener. The Republi-
can managers think that is the bait by
which to get votes. We wish them joy
of their catch.
The Boston Herald says: ''The anom-
alous position into which the Republican
party has been brought by the action of
its later leaders is well illustrated by the
speech of the temporary chairman of its
convention. The Republican party was
organized in support of human freedom.
In the speech of this chairman,
however, we find the word freedom
avoided-we believe it Is employed only
twice-as if its use almost implied a
heresy. In place of it the word protec-
ton is substituted. Instead of the won't
ed note of earlier days, 1.-The Republican
party stands for freedom" the words of
the chairman are, sits platform epitom-
lied stands for the protection of popular
government" For the protection of
popular government against whom? we
beg to ask. Popular government is
not assailed in this country. Every one
here advocates popular government.
But it has become necessary to invert
language, as it were. The good old
words, 1--WE believe in free soil, free
speech, free labor, free men," must be
discarded for some less concise and di-
rect statement. They might suggest an
mconvenient corollary. So the form is
altered. The Republicans are not, as in
other days, TO assert and to vindicate.
They are to protect"

Two amendments tothe Constitution
are to be voted oH next Tuesday. L
you favor the term Of office of the Pro
bate Judge being made four years in
stead oftwo as at present vote ''yes" on
the amendment in reference to the
Probate Judges office.
The other amendment is in
reference to the manner of select
ing the School Commissioner. Ii
you are satisfied with the present
plan of his election by the peo-
pie then vote ''no'' on that amend
ment. Ifyou think it would be better
to have him appointed by the Governor
and that such appointment would Sc
cure more efficient service, then vote
''yes.' To vote Eyes" on this amend
ment is no acknowledgment or admis-
sion that the people are incompetent to
select their own School Commissioner.
To argue the question in that way
smacks strongly of dcmagogueism.
Vote in these matters as YOU think
best. We endeavored two weeks ago
to give the arguments in favor and the
reasons assigned for the change. 1t is
for the people to determine for them
selves how this matter is to be settled
and we shall be satisfied with their de-
