LABOR HONORED BY DAVIS
Democratic Candidate Writes Letter
on the Way He Has Always
Treated His Employees.

The following letter from Fl. G. Davis
democratic candidate for vice president.
has been made public at Roanoke, Va:
Elkins. ". Va, Aug. IS, 1e04-Mr. I. ".
Johnson, Roanoke, Va.-My Dear Mr..
Johnson: 1 am glad to have your letter
calling my attention to the publication
placing me in an attitude of hostility to the
laborfng class. No one who knows me per-
sonally or is at all acquainted with the cir
cumstances of my life will put any cre-
dence in the statements to which you re-
fer. / think I can well claim that l belong
to the laboring class. For many years i
worked in the ranks as a wage Garner, and
Il know what 1t is to earn my living by
the sweat of my brow. On the other hand.
l have been a large employer of labor, in
railroads. coal mines, lumber mills, ETC.,
and have never had any serious trouble
with our men. 1 can recall but two in
stances in which there were strikes. and
these were of sh~ortduration and peaceably
settled. No man has ever been discharged
from our service because he vas a union
man. or been evicted from a ~company's
house for any reason. think You will find
that the conditions of the railroad man
and the miner in connection with the enter
prlses / nave directed will compare most
favorably with those in other localities Of
the country.
bave always believed, and my convic-
ton came from the hard school of expert
ence, that, measured by the character OF
the work he does, and the cost of living,
every man is entitled TO full compensation
for his services.
/ am charged with having instituted pro-
ceedings which led to an injunction against
strikers by Judge Jackson. of this state.
The fact is that l had nothing whatever to
do with the case and knew nothing about
the matter until l read of it In the news
papers. The injunction did not apply to the
men in our employment or pertain to them
in any way. On the contrary. | remember
on ore occasion one of our superintendent
suggested an injunction against our men
and | declined to consider it.
H. G.. DAVIS.

REPUBLICANS IN ANGUISH.


Republicans are beginning to be
alarmed at having nothing to be
alarmed about. They know that they
have kept themselves in power for eight
years because they succeeded in MAX
ing the country's flesh creep at the
thought OF what the democratic party
might do; and now they are wondering
how they can possibly live without be.
ing scared to death. They feel lonely
without their dear old bogey-men. A
tranquil life Is the last thing they want.
Their political ideal of happiness is to
be like the man in the Ancient Mari
ner" who doth walk In fear and dread
because he knows a frightful fiend doth
close behind him tread" Hence their
melancholy reception OF Judge l'arker's
speech. 1t showed them that their last
fond hope of passing the summer In o
state OF fright has vanished, and they
are naturally i~nconsolable at discover
ing that there is nothing to modest them
or make them afraid.
The New York Post says that the idea
OF the %country's being safe with a demo-
cratic president is gall and wormwood
to the republican managers. They meet
too many of their own party who say:
well, | guess We'll have a pretty good
president whoever is elected" And such
people, so deplorably at ease in Zion.
actually have the hardihood to tell re-
publican politicians that it is a good
thing for the country when the rival
candidate for the presidency is a man
so irreproachable and sound as Judge
Parker. This will never do. The ma
ton must not think of being contented
except when it is affrighted; and as for
republicans putting their armor by, TAX
ing it easy, and spending on European
trips what they ought to give to. the
campaign fund-why, that is enough to
make o party workers despair of the
republic.
1t was really cruel of Judge Parker to
disappoint them as he has done. Not
satisfied with robbing them of their
money issue, he has not given them q
single peg upon which to hang the
charges, which they had carefully pre-
pared, of his being an agitator and a
leveler. They somehow hoped that he
would step off the bench to display him
self as an arrant demagogue, but now
they can only turn mournfully away to
bewail his being so negative and so
maliciously 'dexterous" In not giving
them a handle.

Tbs last plate is very misleading, IN
that it leads the casual reader to I'M

lied a company OF soldiers and took
them to the seat of war, doing excel

souri, among the bushwhackers, and
later did excellent service N many bat
ties. 1t is because he took the most of
his soldiers from this place hat he now

Rev. Charles Frederick Goss, a noted
divine and author n lecturer. pre-
sented the monument 20 the city OF
Bunker Hill in behalf of Capt. Clinton,

The monument is the exact counter
part of the statue erected in Cincinnati,
also the gif+ of Mr.. Clinton. Another
monument will be given to another
city-this time to Wooster, o. When
this is completed the monument giving
will end, and Capt. Clinton will then
think he has done something to keep
the flame of patriotism alive in the
youth of the country, by placing before
them "the greatest nan that ever lived,
with the exception of Jesus Christ" as
he is wont tO+Say.
