PARYeR'S DEFICIT SCARE.
1t Is Easily Exploded by an Appeal
to Iacts and Figures.

The Ulster County candidate. labor
ing hard over Judge Parkers speech to
the faithful Democratic editors, scissored
out some statistics with which to ham
mer the Republican administration. But
while the judge was toiing over his
empty sentences,
''His cogitative faculties immersed
In cogibundity Of cogltation,'
his aptitude for figures went on a vaca-
ton and he prepared, or accepted, some
very queer conclusions, which he gave
to the adniring editors with much pOmp
and circumstance.
The trouble is that the Ulster County
politicians deficit is not deficit at
all, when it comes to realities. The Re
publican delightedly accept the chal-
lenge of the Democratic candidate, for it
gives them chance to show a few STA
tistics themselves.
Judge Parker asserts" says a Wash
ington dispatch to the Chicago Chron-
icle, that there is now deficit of $42,-
100000, instead of a surplus of SS0000,-
600. which Mr.. Roosevelt found on be-
coming President Both statements are
reckless, as careful examination of
the records of the treasury will show.
In regard to the deficit the receipts and
expenditures for the fiscal year ending
June 50. 1904, show an apparent deficit
of S40,000,0OO in round numbers, but
during that time the United States paid
$50.000,000 for a Panama canal and ad-
vanced $4,500,000 to the Louisiana pur-
chase exposition, which latter amount is
to be returned to the government. If
Mr.. Parker will deduct his apparent def
cit of S42,000,000 from the $s4, 900
paid for the purchase OF the Panama
canal and the encouragement of an ex-
position of worldwide scope and impor-
lance. he would find a balance of $12.-
100000 and upward on the other side of
the ledger"

THOROUGHLY EXPOSED.
The Weakness of Parker and Davis
Grows Palmer Zach Day.

1t appears that Judge Parker of
Esopus is going to New York City to
run his own campaign. The revelation
has come. but it has come more swiftly
than most of us expected. The revela-
ton is simply this-that the idea of the
country that the Democrats had nomi-
mated fine old judge whose character
led up to the standard of what judge
should be is shiyered into splinters. Two
years ago the country knew nothing OF
Judge Alton 3. Parker of Ney York,
and little of Henry Gassaway Davis of
West Virginia, two men picked up, for
a purpose, by the men who controlled the
Democratic national convention. How
clear to everybody now must be the sit
urrion. Instead of this stately judge
who sent the stately telegram to st.
Louis, appears. and for all pernlanency,
merely decent creature of the famous
New York politician, David Bennett
Hill.
1t is all queer. IL appears so unsub-
stantial and indifferent that Hill could
have nominated one of his creations for
the Presidency.
As the days pass in this autumn Of
1904 the eyes of the American people
are opening as TO the political situation.
There is no anguish following the open
ing. 1t is practically all over, save the
exhibition of certain exuberance next
November.
1t is impossible that such a people
as are the voters Of the United States
could vote generally to place the gov
eminent in the hands of Tammany and a
weak but crafty Democratic leader.
whose aims and objects have seemed
ever to be for himself alone, one who
has never heard or thought of the ex-
preston, the greatest good for the
greatest number" and who. above al.
seems incompetent for the best mana Sc
ment of the United States.

UNWORTHY OF TRUST.
Gold Democra Is Stunning the Hill
Sheehan Com hi alton.

Gold Democrats Stunning the Hill
Sheehan Combination.
The Gold Democrats of Indiana are
unwilling to trust Judge Parker's spon-
sors. They are willing to contribute $10,-
600 to the campaign fund, bnt the money
will not be sent to the Hill-Sheehan
combination. They have asked Parker
himself to take the money. If the Demo
Gratis are unwilling to trust their leaders,
how can the mass of the people be ex-
pected to take any stock in the profess
sions and promises of the party? If the
Gold Democrats are correct in their esti-
mate of Parker's managers, the latter
are no better than gang of sand-bag-
gers. Sterling K. Holt, one of the lead
ing Gold Democrats of Indiana, said a
few days age: 1.-The Gold Democrats
are not going to be coaxed behind a
barn and relieved of their money and
then driven to the polls and voted"
1t is gratifying to learn that such a
man as Afr. Holt entertains the same
view of Hill and Sheehan that Repub-
licans do, but it is somewhat remarkable
that Mr.. Holt does not realize that Par
ker is merely the creature of his man
ayers, and that any money given to the
Judge will find its way. through some
channel, to Democratic headquarters.

THE UNDERGROUND LINE.

Virtue reigns supreme to-day about
Esopus;
1t is purged of all thai jars the propec
mind.
The thing that's most conspicuous round
Esopus
Is the absence of the peanut eating
kind;
And in all the air that circulates at Rose
mount
Not plutocratic odor can be found:
But the public still suspects there's
something doing
In the subway to Esopus, under
ground.
In the cold aud shady distance they're
remaining,
Willy Dave aud wicked August all
alone.
Their base presence no more casts dark
reflection
In the iimelight that descends around
the throne:
For the candidates declared he never
knew them;
He repeats it while the white robed are
around;
Then he coyly turns one ear to earth and
listens
To instruction from the subway under
ground.
Aud August smiles serenely DER at
Davy.
And Dave looks back and wiaks the
other eye;
And all the while they keep right on ar
ranging
The place and style OF eack plum In
the pie.
YES, it is trife lonesome. this secIu-
si0n,'
Says August, ''but you bet tse plan 10
sound.
For Dave and amt 'oDsin' to be hoo
docs"
Then they hit the trail for Rssesnount

DEMOCRATS ADMISSION.
Parker's Party Afraid to stand on Its
Past Record.

John B. Stanchfeld. one OF the leaders
of the New York Democracy, said in a
speech at Schenectady:
The (the Democrats do not stand on
their past, but they present live inf@i-
probation Of live issues"
Truly, the Democratic party t.es not
stand on its past 1t dares pot stand
on its past-on its advocacy of free
coinage of silver. on its demand for the
hauling down of the flag IN the Philip
pines. on the business paralysis that
marked the last period during which the
Democratic party was in control Of the
government; on its declara ton thai the
war for the preservation Of the Union
was failure: ON all the laundering OPP
position of which its history is a con-
tinuous record.
The Democratic party does not and
dares not stand upon its record, because
its record would discredit the most en-
ticing promises that it could, make.

SUGGESTIONS TO DEMOCRATS
Great Thoughts of Great Democrats
Should Re Widely Circulated.

Should Re Widely Circulated.
The Democratic party is boastins of
the fact that in this campaign it is
sending out a great number of tons OF
literature, though why literature should
be sent out by the Democratic party no
one can understand. Upon second
thought. though, it must be admitted,
as matter Of fairness in speaking OF
people who vote the Democratic ticket,
that quite a number of them can read.
However, this is merely a suggestion
to the men whose business it is to handle
the Democratic campaign of education.
To be consistent they must keep up
the campaign lies. In their tons of lit
erature they must first reiterate the
falsehood of Senator Bailey of Texas,
when he declared in a recent speech
that the President advocated Iynching
as a punishment for stealing.
They should Issue a few million
pamphlets advocating the attitude OF
Democracy's great representative,
Champ Clark, in assuming that when
some one in the audience disagrees with
the speaker on the platform it is the
prerogative Of the speaker. after his
speech Is over, TO cut the throat OF the
objector from ear to ear.
There is an old saying that lie well
stuck TO is as good as the truth. Ii
is not a sound proposition, but there ia
In it suggestion as to what the Demo-
Gratis might do with their money ia cir
culating campaign literature.
It is to be hoped that they will be
grateful for these suggestions. but the
chances are ten to one that they won't.

Country Is Prosperous, and Roosevelt

f. H. Hartman. one of the best in

says continuation Of national pros
perity is assured. Recently he said to
New York Herald reporter:
Conditions which in other years
caused panic and national distress do
not now exist In all localities-in Ne
braska and Kansas. in the East and the
Far West-the local moneyed interests
are conservative. 1t is possible TO in
yeStigate with accuracy any financial or
Industrial question. The small money
centers as well as the large ones are
well supplied with funds. and this fact
instires careful investment and mini
mics risk. There has been slow,
steady enhancement of values, and it is
still going on"
When asked for his opinion on the
probable outcome of the election, he said:
1T will be Roosevelt and Fairbanks.
Every one wants them. 40 one can af-
ford to change"

Already in the presidential campaign
of this year the Democrats are fighting
a ''rear-guard action" The Russian
Gen. Kuropatkin has his troubles and
has been fighting rear-guard actions for
some time. but his condition is good as
compared with the condition OF the pres

Democrats Admire Roosevelt.

Radical Democratic newspapers are
forced to admit that President Roose-
velt's letter of acceptance is . strenuous
presentation of the issues FROM Repub-
lican standpoint. Even the New York
World and Denver Times commend the
Presidents Keynote" The fact is. there
is not a Democrat in the land who does
not admire Mr.. Roosevelt's direct way OF
going at things, and all would vote for
him if they could at the same time re-
tain their party organization. There
will be no real regret among Democrats
when Mr. Roosevelt is elected He is
ten times more popular with the mass
of Democracy than Judge Parker is.

parker's Neiehbors Against Him.

Congressman George J. Smith of the
Twenty-fOurth New FORK District, in
which is Judge Parker's home, told
President Roosevelt a few days ago
that he had made tour of the district
and found no Republicans who would
vote for Parker. If the Democratic
candidate gains no votes among his Re
publican neighbours, he certainly should
gain none elsewhere. In other words,
if his popularity is not sufficiently great
10 draw votes from those he daily comes
in contact with. he need not expect to
secure the support Of Republicans who
know him only by what he has said and
done
