ENTRAVAGANCE RUNS RIOT.
Extravaganza is running riot il
federal, State and municipal govern
ments in spite of the we'll directed eff
fors of some excellent ctli ials. The
Indebtedness Of the municipal govern
ments is steadily piling up, bond is
sues are increasingly frequent and the
people have not the satisfaction II
many instances Of a full equivalent
in Improvements for the money ex
pended. And the federal govern
ment is leading in the race OF great
expenditures. Ere long the peopls
will demand a reform in administra
tive expenses.
And they will do it now If they
are made to appreciate the whole
truth.
''The Democratic partyis nota ma

conduct OF the government.
Among SO many patriotic aud IN,

''Our adversaries are entrenched IN
full possession Of every department OF
the government and it is a mistaken
policy that would drive away voters
who would help to GUST them. The
cause cannot te advanced by attacks
on Others within the party with whom
we have had disagreements, but who
are now working with US for con-
mon result. All men who have at
tanned any degree Of prominence have
their friends and the exercise OF ordi-
nary prudence foroids the alienation
Of allies who are willing and anxious
to assist. The coming election is not
to be determined by the September
vote in hopelessly Republican States
where local issues and candidates even
are grievously Handicapped but the re-
suit in Vermont only admoaishes US
and there can be no harm in giving
voice to the admonition-that har-
m ,nious cooperation Of all and the
elimination Of personal, factioual, and
unim portant diff orences involving no
surrender of principle, are essential
to success"
Applause greeted Mr.. Daniels in
PRODUCTION of Mr.. Knapp and during
the latter's speech there were many
shouts of Good for you!" and similar
expressions Of appreciation.
WITH CLOSEST ATTENTION.
Judge Parker's speech vas listened
to with the closest attention by the

him speak. Judge Parker read mos5
| OF his speech and made no departure
from the written text. Heread with
great care and deliberation, using few
or no gestures. The editors frequent
" applauded and several times broke
into cheers and laughter at the speak
er's attacks upon the Republican ad-
ministrat:on. The highest pitch OF
enthusiasm was reached toward the
close when he deprecated attacks on
others within the party.
Cries Of Good" That's right"
and the like broke from various parts
Of the audience and for several me-
nents the speaker had to wait for
quiet.
Editors from the various section OF
the country brought to the candidates
reports of the political situation in
their territory.
After the speaking was over udge
