thoughtful consideration. This, In
part, is what he said In conclusion to
the Democratic editors at Esopus:
"The Democratic party is not ma
chine; 1t is body of citizens who be-
lieve that on the whole its fundamen-
tai principles are best adapted to the
conduct of the Government.
among so many patriotic and In
telligent men it Is inevitable that d.
vergence of opinion as to minor ques-
lions and differences of view as to the
correctness of the disposition Of dead
issues should be found. The party
is concededly united to-day as to ev-
cry vital article of faith which can
reasonably enter into the pending can
vass.
AS TO ALIENATION OF ALLIES
Our adversaries are intrenched, in
full possession of every department OF
the Government, and 1t is mistaken
policy that would drive away voters
who would help to Gust them.
"The cause cannot be advanced by
attacks on others within the party
with whom we have had disagree
ments, but who are now working with
us for a common result.
Cali men who have attained any
degree Of prominence have their
friends, and the exercise Of ordinary
prudence forbids the alienation of al
lies who are willing and anxious to
assist"

FOUND HIM FULLY
WORTHY.
Judge Parker's Great Appeal for Uni
ty and the Impression it Made.

The occasion Of the visit Of the
Democratic editors to Esopus presented
the candidate Of the great party in a
new and edifying light.
Having fully committed himself to
acceptance of the leadership Of the
Democratic hosts in their battle for
the rescue Of the republic from the
ban and blight Of corruption in office
long continued; having given his
earnest, honest heart to this great
C.dse, he stinted no words to call the
leaders of Democratic thought to a
binding sense Of solemn duty. He has
started out grandly to perform his
obligation Of response to the great
honor done him at st. Louis. Nobody
who has ever known Judge Parker,
or who is familiar with his official
and political record, doubts moment
but that he will prove in the future as
he has showed In the past: not only
that public Office is a public trust, but
that party honor is party trust. That
he will discharge the obligations of
both to the highest honor of his party
and the eminent credit of his country
none doubts who knows him.
He has made great appeal for
party unity for public duty. He has
commended his party to all the citi-
Gems of the republic, by basing his ap-
peal upon the very highest grounds.
The great, silent, thinking vote of
the country must surely respond will
ingly to this call to national duty. It
Is not assuming too much for the
character and ability of the Demo-
cratic candidate to repel the idea that
his call to duty to the Democratic
editors Is the mere echo of selfish
ambition. Not In all the political his
tory Of this country has there been
a man cleaner and freer Of the dross
Of sordid ambition. Honors have gone
after him and followed him to find
him ever as modest as competent, ever
as true and courageous in public place
as In the no less honorable walks of
private life that in the broad concrete
Of American citizenship has given the
greatest glory to the American name.
Our country has recently been car
ried too far along the path Of dis
credit to its good name. Judge Park.
er has asked that all citizens unite to
keep the republic in the path Of hon.
orable safety. What he said In this
vein is well worth repetition and

GRAND CALL TO DUTY.
Judge Alton B. Parker's Greeting at
His Home to the Democratic Editors.


A widely representative party OF
Democratic editors has just had an OPP
portunity to see and take some mental
measure of the Democratic candidate
for President of the United States.
Their timely and justifable curiosity
has been happily and abundantly re-
warded. That he has more than
reached a satisfactory height OF ex-
pectation is, according to the testi-
meRy of an impartial press, fact in
disputable and unquestioned.
Judge Parker received the editor
visitors at his Rosemount home, with
a dignity and cordiality which cap
tivated every guest. Unaffected sim
plicity and manifest sincerity marked
the bearing Of the man and deeply
impressed his visitors. The good words
oftentimes spoken Of him by his
friends were fully justified in the ex-
cellent impression wrought by his
own individuality. The superiority OF
the man was palpable in every accent
and gesture, and all his demeanor
marked him worthy of high honor he
wears.
The Introductory words Of Col.
Knapp, editor of the st, Louis Re-
public, were peculiarly apt.
I'VE rejoice" said Col. Knapp, ad-
dressing the candidate. that the prin-
ciples and policies of Democracy have
found so worthy an exponent in 1904.
We are proud Of the man who has so
impressively demonstrated that he
would rather be right than be Presi-
dent"
Responding to this greeting the
Democratic candidate Immediately, in
a happy way, commended the leaders
of his party by contrasting the cabinet
officers of the last Democratic ad-
ministration with those of their sue
ceeding political opponents. The re-
hinder of the characters of the men
he named and extolled warmed the
hearts of his admiring visitors. They
knew he spoke words of conviction
which represented the general public
impression. They knew and reflected
that every one Of the eminent Demo-
Gratis he named left Office with a clean
record Of duty, honestly, faithfully and
excellently performed. No scandal at
tached to the regime Of any Demo-
cratic cabinet officer. Not the slight
est question limiting of occasion or
propriety for investigation ever arose
as to a single executive chief of the
last Democratic administrations. The
suggestiveness of the Judges allu-
sions, in view of the extravaganza. the
recklessness and the disregard of Of
icial obligations exhibited by Republic
can cabinet officers was so patent and
forceful that 1t naturally delighted his
hearers. 1t gave forth thought we'll
and constantly to be borne in mind
during the vital stress of this cam
paign.

from as many different standpoints
as the parties to which he has be-

enough to say that he is an expert
accountenant, he is more, great
financier who can finance govern
ments off hand, that would require
the best thought, careful investiga.
ton, research and years OF study OF
the brightest and most learned men.
Atkeson can tell just what the per
capita is and ought to be and how
TO increase the volume OF money,
and has a mass OF statistics at hand
that would make an ordinary in.
divldual dizzy to contemplate. The
only trouble with the public Is that
it doesn't fully appreciate Atkeson's
great abilities in that direction.
Why, he can give Coin Harvey both

credit sensational stuff sprung on
the eve OF election. The last tinan.
cial statement OF the county was
published in May, six months ago,
and II there was anything wrong
why was it not exposed, and not
wait until too late to be fully refuted
before the election.
While 1t is a common expression
that figures won't lie, it is well known
that a. many conclusions can be
drawn from a mass Of figures as
there are accountenants who start
with conclusion they desire DEM
onstrated. In this case Atkeson,
backed up by the Republican party,
starts out with the desire to con
vince the voters that there IL some
thing wrong with thecounty finances
as managed by the Democratic party,
and Of course, any demonstration be
, makes with the figures must bear
him out In this assumption.
While the balances he copies cor.
rectly from the different statements,
the conclusions he draws are based
upon false premises and are mis-
leading and confusing, as they are
meant to be.
