gether the individuals whose personal
differences might interfere with har-
monious work for the national ticket
his callers during the three days of his
present trip to New York included rep
resentatives of every wing of the DEM
ocratic party.
In this connection conspicuous among
those who visited the candidate today
were Dr. John H. Gardner, who had
been the host of w. J. Bryan whenever
the Nebraskan came to New York, and
Alex Troop of New Haven, who served
as chairman of the Connecticut state
committee and conducted an enthusi-
astic campaign for Mr. Bryan four
years ago.
The incident which has created the
most notable comment was the meet
ing between Senators German and Ray
ner of Maryland. accompanied by the
announcement of their close political
associates that whatever differences
heretofore existed between the Mary
land leaders had been dissipated, az
least so far as the present campaign
is concerned.

other whose coming is said to mean
unity of effort from the opposing or
ganizations Of the Illinois democracy.

Parker and Wall Street.

In February, 1903, The Wall Street
Journal stated that Judge Alton B. Par
ker would probably be the selection of
the "high finance" for the Democratic
nomination in opposition to President
Roosevelt That prediction has been veri
we'd. The Wall Street Journal now ven
lures the opinion that Judge Parker will
have in the coming campaign the sup
port, partially open but mainly con-
cealed, of the Interests" in the hope
that he will be successful in defeating
Mr.. Roosevelt.
The signs of this are clear and nu-
merous. Judge Parker is supported, of
course, by many Democrats in Wall
street, because he is the Democratic
candidate, apart from other considera-
tions. But he is supported, also, by the
"court circular" type of newspaper which
has no politics but the politics of the
dollar, and the court circular" press
makes no secret of the reasons why it
supports him, these reasons being, in the
main, that he will not do what Presi-
dent Roosevelt has done and that he may
possibly undo some of President Roose-
velt's work. The essence of ''court cir
cular" journalism is in that it seldom
acts without motive and motive di-
rectlV connected with the interests of
the "high finance" It's support of Judge
Parker, therefore, is the best indication
that could be desired of the attitude of
the ''high finance" in the matter Judge
Parker, in this campaign, is unquestion-
ably the candidate of the interests"
as against President Roosevelt.

Does Not Appeal to Prejudice.

The Republican party is not demagag
ical. At no time has it ever attempt
ed to divide the people into classes. 1t
has not appealed to the prejudices of the
tent to ask for continued recognition on
its record.
One of the greatest fallacies of the
Democratic party for the last eight years
has been the apparent aim of its lead
ers to convince the voters of the country
that it is the real and only friends of
what Mr.. Bryan designated as the "com-
mon people," In its last two cam
paigns the Democratic party, through its
platforms, orators and newspapers has
sought to create the impression that this
nation is divided into classes and that
the Republican party represents the
wealthy class while Democracy stands
for oppressed plain people, In add
dition to being demagogic, such teachings
are positively dangerous, or would be if
so much reliance could not be placed
on the hard, common sense and intelli
gence of the American voter. But the
"reorganized" Democracy, claiming its
restoration to sanity and saneness, has
included the appeal to class prejudice
in its platform plank which declares
that owe favor revision and gradual
reduction of the tariff by the friends of
the masses for the common veal"
The only intelligent Interpretation of
this declaration, granting the honesty of
the party making it, is that the Demo
cratic party believes that we no longer
have free republic, built on the corner
stone guaranteeing the political equality
| of all American citizens, but that we
have government of classes, the arts
tocrats and the plebians. Such a decla-
ration, by a great party organization, is
unjust, un-American and a betrayal of
American political faith.
Aside, however, from the inappro-
priateness of the declaration, the asser-
ton that the Democrats propose to re-
duce the tariff, for the benefit of the
masses, will appeal to intelligent voters
more as threat than a promise. The
tariff should, and it will be, revised by
the friends of that protective policy
which has been so instrumental in build
ing up the industries of this country. The
Republican party always can be depend
ed upon to do the right thing at the
right time. The party's record in the
past is clearly an evidence of its ability
to handle judiciously all complex ques-
tions, and in doing this there will be no
attempt to trim the sails to meet the
shifting winds of prejudice, nor will there
be cheap play to the galleries in an at
tempt to curry favor with discordant
elements.

but two choices open to them now; one
is to support Loyalty and without capti-

We speak now of a few malcontents
whom you may still hear sneering about
the successful candidate and the recent
convention. They are well represented
by at least one newspaper that we could
name, published in principal city of the
state. Let these take their choice. If
they are Republicans, they will follow
the party like the rest of us. If they
are unwilling to do that, let them say so
and get out. Republicans are in no
mood and longer to tolerate the secret
enmity of which there are still evil
dences in few quarters, and repri-
mand is in order.
