motion to engross the bill was lost,
and another denying it's engrossment
was carried, thus killing the bill en-
tirely.

Let No Guilty Man Escape.

Some of the republican newspapers
have much to say about the democrat
ic members of the Missouri legisla-
ture who have been or are being pros
ecuted by District Attorney Folk, a
democrat, for boOdling. They appar-
emily overlook the fact that there are
some republican members among the
corruptionists who are being prose-
cuted for the same Offense. The dem
ocratic party does not indorse crime
and corruption. To indorse crime or
corruption has always been undemO-
cratic and always will be so long as
the party adheres to democratic prin-
ciples. Boodlers are the worst enc
mics Of the democratic party. Meth
er do they>try to shield an individual
because he claims to belong to the
party. 1t is plasing to know that At
tOrney Folk, like Samuel J. Tilden, is
democratic enough to bring any one
to justice who is a lawbreaker or cor
ruptionist, let him be a democrat or
republican. When District Attorney
Folk, whose business is to prosecute,
learned of boodling among the mem
bers of the legislature of his state he
did not call the charges ''hot air. or
plead 1.-The statute of limitations" and
adopt the plan of shutting off the
searchlight of publicity by withhold
ing the charges as a bar to any in
quiry into things done before his own
administration began, as is being done
at Washington at this postal inquest
or to shield men higher up" but be-
gan to collect evidence and prosecute
in earnest. Attorney Folk deserves
credit from everyone for his honest
efforts in sending boodlers to the
prison, let them be 'high up in of
fee or millionaires.

The Fourth.

o, Nation! thy own festive day
Begins ere yet night shades have
fed.
Hear! hear the guns! near and away:
Behold the east in blazing red.
From hills of Maine to Georgia S
strand.
From the Atlantic's surging sea
To the Pacific, Der the land
Awakes the nation of the free.
Today life's struggles all forget
In one grand jubilee unite,
And guide the cleaning sun to set
With pealing bells on every height.
So echo meeting echo blends
In wondrouS symphony of sounds
Til every town and city sends
Its JOY the country's borders round
o. Freedom! this belongs to thee,
For thee these starry banners wave
All DER the land from sea to sea
For thee the martyred soldiers
grave,
So boom the cannon; peal the bells!
Commemorate thy glorious sway.
Till Heaven shall hear the news it tells
And bless our nations natal day.

manufactured goods and enable
American manufacturers to form a
trust and obtain higher prices?
?. How can duty on goods protect
labor?
,. With labor on the free list and
Immigrants floclling to- this country
unchecked at an average rate of 5000
per day, why should l vote for a sys-
tenn to make goods dear and increase
the cost of living?
4. Being farmer and knowing that
the price of grains are fixed in for
eign free trade markets, why should
/ vote to maintain a bogus tariff on
wheat and corn which serves as a
cover to, the genuine protection on
manufactured goods?
5. Why should manufacturers who
are selling goods all over the world at
free trade prices be encouraged by a
high tariff to sell the same goods
here at so or 100 per cent higher
prices?
6. Why should 1 vote money out of
my pockets and into the pockets of
the protected trusts?
z Does the Protective Tariff league
think that we young voters are ever
lasting chumps and that we can be
duped by it's thinly disguised sophis-
| try?
These and other similar questions
taken before and after, will render
tariff league literature innocuous and
harmless even when taken in ton
lots. The tariff league is supplying
it's sophistry to 5000 papers per week
1t has kept steadily at this work for
Is years. Its members have become
millionaires and multi-millionaires in
the meantime. They are interested
in having the farmers and working
men believe that all prosperity. our
good crops, our fertile soil, are due tC
protection. They know well that pro
lection" enables the trusts to skim
the cream off prosperity and leave
only the skinned milk for the farm
ers and laborers. But can we blame
them for asking us to support this
system? We can stop the tariff plum
dering when we know and vote foI
our own interests.

After the First voters.

The American Protective Tariff
league, an organization composed of
1000 protected manufacturers who
pay 500 year each in dues and who
contribute generously besides, is send
ing thousands of circular letters
throughout the country in an endeav-
or to secure the names of all first
voters in 1904. The letter says that
"a great number Of young men do not
look upon protection as a vital inter
est to themselves and to their coun-
try. No time should be lost in plac-
ing in the hands of such young voters
a series of protection literature es-
peeially adapted"
It is suggested that the young vo-
ters. when they get the numerous
par,-rl.Iats which will be sent at the
expense of these protected manufac-
turers. ask them a few questions like
the following:

should vote for tariff duties which

KINGS SHORT OF CANDIDATES
Little Interest in County Ticket and Few
Care to Risk Defeat.

Owing to the rumpus between the Demo-
cratic organization in Brooklyn and Tam
many over the city ticket, little interest
has been manifested In the coming Demo-
cratic County Convention in the neghbor-
ing borough on Saturday night. The gen.
eral expectation that the fusion candidates
will sweep Brooklyn by big plurality.
at least, as they did two years ago. has
caused a significant dearth Of candidates
for the various offices, and among MIR.
McLaughlin's numerous political worri..
ments Is the difficulty Of obtaining men OF
solid standing in the organization to round
off the county ticket.
In previous years there was host OF
aspirants for each place on the ticket, but
In this disturbed era it looks as though
there will not be contest for single office.
At the meeting OF the executive committee
Yesterday afternoon. to consider the Mayor
atty problem, it was decided to hold an
other meeting on Friday evening to pre-
pare the slate.
The candidates most favored yesterday
were: Assistant District Attorney Martin W,
Littleton for President OF the Borough ;
Henry Hesterberg. for Sheriff. Matthew E.
Dooley, for Register; Conrad Hasenfiug,
for County Clerk and John F. Clarke for
District Attorney.

NIXON WON'T TELL
Whether He Would Accept an Independent
Nomination or Not.


Nomination or Not.
When Lewis Nixon was informed last
night that the Brooklyn members Of the
City Committee were going to name him
as Brooklyn's candidate for Mayor at the
Democratic Club tonight. he said
al have no information that the Brooklyn
people are going to do any such thing.
1t is all news to me. Even IL it were 10
and knew it officially. l would not dis
cuss the matter tonight"
MIR. Nixon stated most emphatically that
he meant the regular Democratic nomina-
ton and no other, when he announced
himself as a candidate.
Then we can say for you, said reporter.
4that you will not accept an independent
nomination."
"No, you cannot say that either said
Mr. Nixon. Il simply refuse to answer
that question. There is no reason why
| should answer that question"
IF your name goes before the regular
Democratic convention as candidate for
Mayor and you are defeated there, will
YOU support the victorious candidate and
refuse an independent nomination If it Is
offered?"
Il will not answer that question: said
Mr.. Nixon. :,
Mr. Nixon was asked whether he had
consulted the Democratic leaders about
his candidacy or whether they had sought
him out. In reply he handed out this
little statement, which he had prepared
in anticipation Of just such question
II have not discussed the subject matter
of Yesterdays statement with any politicsl
leader of any organization. do not see
how there can be a mistake about my po-
sition when there cannot very we'll be more
than one Democratic nomination"
Mr. Nixon was asked IL he didn't regard
it as a queer thing for a man to announces
himself candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Mayor on practically the
eve of the convention, when he had made
no plans with any leader and had no assur-
ances from any leaders that he had chance
for the nomination. He replied that 1t
might be queer, but he didn't care.
< number of politicians called to see Mr.
Nixon yesterday. Some of them. we're
Tamrnany men. Mr.. Nixon received them
all in his private Office on the third
floor of 43 Cedar street. He said that none
OF the politicians called to see him on the
subject Of his announced candidacy.
The Lincoln Democratic Club was organ.
lied last night at Lincoln avenue in The
Bronx, and adopted resolutions favor1ng
Lewis Nixon for Mayor.

BISCHOFF AND TRAUTMANN.
Republican Convention Chooses the Fusion
County Nominees.

The Republican County Con vention. held
last night In the Murray Hill Lyceum, unani-
mously renominated Justice Henry Bisohon
for the Supreme Court and Ralph Traut-
mann for Sheriff. The convention was
colorless and formal.
Ex-Justice William N. Cohen, the chair
man. in urging that nominations for the
judiciary should be- made without regard
TO politics, remarked that Judge BischofY
had made such a record for himself on the
bench that he defied Tammany not to nomi
nate him. Mr.. Cohen probably referred
to the threat made by Mr.. Croker's friends
against Justice Bischon when Judge DAILY
was turned down
Mr.. Croker refused tolrenominate Justice
DAILY because the latter had declined to
appoint court clerk at his order. Justice
BischofY championed Justice DAILY, and the
threat was then made that he would never
get another nomination from Tanmany..
= Ex-Justioe Hall put Justice Fisohoffs
name before the convention. James p.
Davenport Otto A, Rosalsky and Alder
man Herbert Parsons seconded. The sec
Rotary was directed TO cast one ballot for
the nominee,
Col Abe Gruber, in naming Trautmann
for Sheriff, made his hearers laugh and
got in a slap at the Citizens Union by re-
marking that the Republican party furnished
more than rs per cent Of the votes given
TO every fusion ticket that it always fought
10 the open, and even has confidence In
its own telephone service
On the motion OF M. Linn Bruce, the

In accommodating Low, Grout and Fornsi
waa unanimously tndorsed

day were: For Mayor, Lewis Nixon, Justice
Morgan }. o Brien, Justice William j: Gay
nor and Edward M. Shepard. The discus.
sion narrowed down to Messrs. Gaynor and
Nixon. Justice Gaynor was finally aban,
doned for Mr.. Nixon, because it was held
that the candidate Of the Brooklyn men
ought not to be Brooklyn man. now that
the organization has conceded the right
Of Manhattan to the place at the head OF
the ticket.
To-day some OF the five will see Mr.
Nixon, and, 30 it was said last night, ask
him for the pledge that he will seek only
the regular nomination and, failing to get
that, will make no attempt TO secure an
independent nomination. II MIR. Nixon
promises that, his name will doubtless pc
presented by the Brooklyn five to the city
committee tonight as candidate for Mayor
and fight will be made for him on the
floor Of the convention. 49,,
William +. Mckinney, chief auditor OF the
Finance Department, was the man whom
the Ave proposed to present as brocklyn's
candidate for Comptroller, but yesterday
afternoon Mr. Mckinney went to the auc-
ton room and told MIR. Mclaughlin that
under no circumstances would he run on
any ticket against Mr.. Grout. The names
of Julian D. Fairchild and Andrew I. Sulii,
van were then discussed. and 1t was said
last night that Mr. Fairchild would be the
candidate
