Especial Washington letter.
Since that sad day when Japheth went
forth in search of his father nothing in
human history is so pathetic as Mark
Hanna's fearful and hair raising ap-
peal to the mosquito eaten Republic
ans of New Jersey to shake off the ap-
athy and lethargy which are now
weighing them down, but Mark should
know by this time of day that the av-
erage Republican is about as sleepy as
was Thomas Sharkey when Professor
Robert Fitzsimmons finished his sur
gical operation on him at the end Of
the second round. Nothing but sight
of the Doodle will arouse the aforesaid
sleepy one from his nap, and, awful to
tell, they do say that Mark is having
hard time raking in the DOODLE Sure
ly the world IS coming to an end soon!
-Four years ago Mark not only had all
the Doodle he needed, but he had,
thing unheard of till then, q surplus
left over, q humping big surplus at
that. Now, 1t is said that the possess
ors of wealth are decidedly slow about
shelllng out, coming down with the
dust and suehlike operations; hence
Marks tears. have understood that
the contributors are contributing only
about one-tenth of what they did four
years agoI Only think of that! Suf-
fering Moses! How can Mark be ex-
pected to arouse the enthusiasm of his
piebald mercenarles by Offering them
only 1.-THE Of what they received
four short years ago? But / have i'm
plicit faith in Marks capacity to fry
the fat out of Republican pap suckers.

how
"Tempora mutantur" times change)
Is an old Latin motto which contains
great truth and which produces CON
filcting emotions, owing to the point OF
view. -Four years ago you could not
pick up a newspaper without reading
how, when and where host of Demo
Gratis were rafting to the enemy. It
made doleful reading Now It's t'other
way. Such crowds Of Republicans,
dieoustnd With ATeIIan,aaiei,aas. and ep
goldbUg Democrats, are docking to
Bryan's standard that even so renoWn-
ed prodigal as Bourke Cochran re-
ceiyes precious little notice. It's not
only the leaders who are coming our
way, but the rank and file also. In one
little Missouri city Of 1000 Inhabitants
81 lifelong Republicans have openly
proclaimed their intention of voting for
Bryan.
Republicans In Trouble.
1t viii be remembered by everybody
that in his st. Paul pronunciamento
Colonel Teddy denounced all Demo-
Gratis as dishonest, ignorant and vicious
all Of which, TO put it bluntly and
without any beating about the bush.
was a colossal lie. Nobody believes
his jabber-he didn't even believe 1t
himself-but nevertheless, just to show
him that all Republicans are not vir-
tuous and that all the outlaws and
criminals are not to be found IN the
Republican party, l wish to call the
doughty coloners attention to two
items on the first page Of the Washing
ton Post for Sunday, Aug. 10.
The first announces the arrest in
Boston of that eminent Republican
statesman, Ex-Governor Franklin J..
Moses Of South Carolina. He is charg-
ed with embezzIlng IS. He is, of course,
not to be compared to those other emil
nent Republican statesmen who dem
onstrated their courage, patriotism and
virtue, Messrs. Neely and Rathbone.
This is not the first larceny committed
by Governor Moses. He is an old hand
at the business and appears to be an
incorrigible thief, as he has served one
or two terms in the penitentiary for
stealing. How are the mighty falleni
This man In the halcyon days of Re-
publican misrule In South Carolina
plundered that unhappy state Of mill
lions and rioted for years IN his Ill got
ten gains. Now he stoops so low as to
swindle a Boston merchant out of a
pitiful S5. Evidently picking is not as
good In Massachusetts as Moses part
ner In inquity, ex-senator Patterson,
declared 1t to be In the old Palmetto
State.
The second item on the first page of
the Washington Post. to which l wish
to direct the eagle eye of Colonel Ted
dy, recites that Caleb Powers, ex-Re-
publican secretary Of state in Ken
lucky, has just been convicted of COM
plicity In the Goebel assassination and
sentenced to the penitentiary for life,
the righteous verdict having been rem
dered by a jury composed of Demo-
Gratis and Republicans. Every honest
man between the two oceans will re-
joice at the verdict and win hope that
Ex-Governor w. S. Taylor will be drag
| ged back to Kentucky, tried, convicted
and hanged as an accessory to the foul
| est assassination of this generation.
Goebels sins are no palliation or justi-
| flcation for these high flying scoun-
drels. For all | know. he may have
been an angel In human form or a
fiend incarnate. That's not the ques-
tion. He was murdered in cold blood
as the result of widespread Repub
ican conspiracy because he was en-

governor of Kentucky Colonel Roose
veIt knows all these things, and yet hi
had the effrontery to utter a wholesale
slander against one-half his country
men, thereby disgracing the high posi-
tion to which he aspires.
OF course / am not intimating thai
all Republicans are thieves, like ex
Governor Moses, or murderers, like
Taylor and Powers. Ear from it. Mos

demonstrating to Colonel Roosevelt
that he might become strenuous in do
ing a little reform work In his owr
party and not consign all Democrat:
