within a moment he had the crowd
with him. lie extended his sncerest
| congratulations TO his listeners, without
| regard to political creed, because they
were the benehciaries of American

| the 81. Louis gathering, "a real con-

| at Chicago, held TO endorse one mans

| The speaker pointed 10 Mr., Roosevelt
| as a living example OF the lndeniable
tendencies towards one-man power"
| and then launched into an eulogy of
| Judge Parker, saying:
Judge Parker will strongly appeal to
| the conscientious voters of our country
| because Of his manly character, and the
| purity Of his private life. As for his
| public service to his fellow citizens, It
! can be said of him-and when the
words are spoken they constitute the
| highet praise that can be spoken OF
| man In this our mortal life, viz. He
| is an upright Judge He will appeal to
| the support Of the Democrats in all sec
| tions OF our country for the reason that
| he has been unwaVerng in his adher-
ence to Democratic principles; and his
| fidelity to the party is manifested In the
| fact that he has supported its national
| candidates through two presidential
| elections when Il costs an eastern man
| something to vote for some parts OF the
| Democratic policy.
"RIsing from the humblest walks OF
| life he has reached the highest honor
| that could be conferred upon him by the
| greatest OF the American states. He Ia
| pre- eminently a man OF the people, and
| In close sympathy with both their as
| plrations and the difficulties against
which they are obliged to contend in
| order 70 achieve them lie will make
an admirable constitutional servant,
and It Is one Of the chief evidences OF
his worthiness that he seeks to be no
other than this, II was an extremely
happy thought expressed by Mr. Little
ton who placed his name in nominal
ton before the convention, when In the
course of explaining the reason for the
| Judges silence he said:
''If you ask me why he has been silent
! tell you IL Is because he does not
claim 20 be the master OF the Demo-
| cratic party, but IL content to be its
servant
"The man who stands in that relation
ship to his party will stand I'm that re-
lationship to the whole American peo-
pie when elected to the presidency of
these United States; and that Is the
true relationship Of president TO the
people Of the United States"
COMPARES PLATFORMS.
Mr.. Roberts comparison of the two
platforms was, in part, as follows:
Just word with reference to the
platforms Of the two parties. This is
| atsHNl ,1i. a
Grafton Of the various propositions set
forth IN the respective platforms They
can only be noted now as TO one or two
things. It Is written In holy Scripture
that In the last days the wicked shall
wax worse and worse and truly,
though without the desire OF giving Of
Tense | think the Republican party Is
| fulfilling this prediction, II think more
| positively and irrevocably than ever be-
fore II proclaims It's adherence to that
| iniqutous, unequal class legislation
mscalled protection II announces 1t
as a cardinal policy OF the Republican
party Nor does Il stop at this, but
promises, IL granted a new lease of
| power, 20 extend II for the purpose OF
creating merchant marine by grant
ing subsidies for the building OF ships.
That Is, after destroying by its mis-
taken policies, the most magnificent
merchant marine save one found upon
the seas when &c first came into power,
It now proposes to employ the taxing
power Of the government TO rebuild
what it's protection policy destroyed.
In opposition to this avowed cardinal
policy Of the Republican party the
Democratic platform declares that we
favor revision and gradual reduction
OF the tariff by the friends of the mass
es and for the common veal, and not by
the friends Of it's abuses, It's eNtortions
and its determinations keeping In view
the ultimate ends of equality OF bur-
dens and equality OF opportunities
and the executlonal purpjse OF raising
a revenue by taxation for the support
OF the federal government In all It's IN
tegrity and ylrllity, but In simplicity
with reference to the money ques-
ton which has occupied prominent
part I'm the previous national platforms
the present platform is silent, ana prop
erly so, for the reason that the money
question by circumstance beyond the
control or influence OF either the DEM
ocratlo or the Republican party, has
settled for the time that question, The
circumstance referred to Is the Increase
In the production OF gold by which
there has been added In recent years
