TRUST IN MKINLEY. GOD IS DEAD.

dsv over the sermon preached by DR.. Park
hurst When told that DR.. Parkhurst had come
cut strongly for Mckinley and denounced Bryan
for his association with Croker, the Tammany
chieftain said: The trusts have got the old
man" Mr. Crokers statement last night was as
insulting and bitter he could make it. The
politicians who heard of it and read it were
amazed prominent merchant who was In the
Fifth Avenue Hotel said: "I marched in the
Sound Money parade Saturday. 1 intended to
vote for Mckinley on the money question and
to vote the State Democratic ticket. Those ban
ners Mr. Croker swung out were disgrace and
an insult. That caused to waver, but this
latest attack is so brutal and ruffianly that my
mind is made up vote the straight Republican
ticket"
After Mr. Croker issued his statement last
night he went to the Casino Theatre to attend
a Tammany Hall meeting. In his out
giving Croker attacked the Sound Money parad-
ers. Governor Roosevelt and the Republican
managers. He said:
The trusts had their say in the parade on
Saturday and the people will have their say on
Tuesday, and from all the indications and signs
the trusts will be swept from our free land and
the candidates Of the trusts Will be buried py
In the vaunted parade which to demon
strate the power of Mckinley and Roosevelt
there were not hundred thousand men, as
they proudly claim, but a bare forty thousand
These. too. came from all oyer-Iron Jersey,
Long Island and from New-York State as far
UP the river as Peekskin The trusts hired
these men to come here to march. paid their
fares and all expenses-simply TO swell their
depleted ranks and make big showing.
With all this expenditure Of money ana the
vast preparation, the parade took less than
seven hours to pass a given point Any com
petent Judge will agree with me that 1t Woulo
take 100 900 men, they claim they had, twelve
hours to pass given point IN tae6. a6 regnenIs

without stops and delays. would be allowed hf-
teen hours for the distance
Counting all stoppages and waits, the trust
paraders took less than six hours. Nearly half
Of these marchers will vote for Bryan, half
them were from other States, and II you aloW allow

that with all their money and influence the
trusts failed of the impression they stroVe TO
make. ?.
is this: There never was in this city such an ex-
hibition of rowdyism as was shown on SATURDAY
by these so-called cowboys They overran all
the hotels-turned them into dives and insulted
men, women and children. I am not surprised
that Roosevelt sanctioned this-that man who
has been running all over the country detanlng
this city. I not surprised that he should
sanction It after his Endorsement of the killing
Of Goebel. the lawfully elected Governor OF
Kentucky, and his commendation of Taylor who
is now fugitive from his own State.
There is no longer any Republican party. we
claim the name, which ours in oden time
The Democratic party now is the De1nocrat1c-
Republican party, as 1t was then. 1t opposes
the party of the trusts.
The crisis Of to-day entities to resume our
old and honored name-Democratic-R Republican
against the party of trusts, tyranny mitar-
ism, RooseveltisTn.
How any American who calls himself an
American, and who loves his country. and VINO
loves its noble Constitution vote for such
man Roosevelt and the interests which he
represents, is incomprehensible to me-
Mr.. Croker's reference to the importing of
to march in the parade, his estimate Of the
number that took part and his declaration as to
how many Of the marchers would vote for Bryan
other Indication of the utter loss of Judgment
and apparent departure from a condition
Of mind on the part Of the Tammany boss.
Ex-Governor Stone, who is in charge of the
Eastern branch Of the Democratic National
headquarters, was alone with his glory in the
sumptuous parlors Of the committee in the Hoff-
man House yesterday. All the other members
have left the city Mr.. Stone will stay here to
keep headquarters open until after election.
Il watched the parade pass" he said, "and
must say that ffty-four thousand is a liberal
estimate Of the number in line. 1 see that Gen
eral Anson G. McCook states that the men who
took part in that parade We're men who could
not be coerced into marching All I want to
ask General McCook is. If that is true Why did
some or the men in line march past the review
gang and others cheer for Bryan? Fully so per
cent Of those in yesterdays parade will vote
for Mr.. Bryan"
