Echoes From The Democratic National Convention

Temporary Chairman Williams is joker,
even though he does not realize that brevity
is the soul of wit. Harpers Weekly tells the
story of his joke on a newspaper reporter
who inquired of the minority leader in the
house how his presidential boom was getting
along. With great gravity Mr.. Williams as
sured the reporter that everything was
auspicious for his boom. Recent reports
from Missippi especially were highly encour-
aging. "Toomsuba, Ofanoma, Noxopater,
Nanachehaw, Toccopola, Tabbville and
Grubbs Springs, [ am told, - he said, ''are al
ready for me, while [ have every reason to
believe that | shall have the undivided sup
port of such places as Nittayujma, Wahalak,
Bolatusha Hushpuckena, Pelahatchie, Militia
yuma, Estabutchee Ittabena Scutch Gin
quqin PaWtickfaw, Otoc, Leggo, Yellow
Rabbit, Chunkey Station, Hambone, Devo-
lente and Whynot." When the reporter had
recovered himself he asked GLOW do you
spell those?" The Mississippi statesman pa
tiently spelled all the words, with never
smile to disclose his lack Of seriousness Will
liams is as profound in his humor as he is
long-winded in speech.

MR.. GEORGE COTTRELL.

Mr.. George Cottrell is bright brainy
young man. Up to eight years ago Mr..
George Cottrell was a level-headed respect
able Republican. For eight years Mr.. George
Cottrell has tried to be something else than
Republican. Figuratively speaking, Mr..
George Cottrell has for eight years ''cast
pearls before swine" Mr.. George COttrell
has turned his back to the Democratic party
and will no doubt be found working for the
success of Republicanism which furnishes
further proof that it is utterly impossible to
make a good Democrat out of thorough
bred Republican. We doubt not that he has
relieved his conscience of great load and
the party of Lincoln and Grant will, true TO
the teachings of the Bible always welcome
the return Of it's prodigal sons. There are
others who have gone astray. Let them fol
low the worthy example of Mr.. Cottrell.
Mr.. Cottrell has in part given his reasons
for abandoning Democracy, but he has not
fully made public the cause There are many
reasons why a Republican, affliation with
the Democrats is unpleasant and one Of these
is that Democrats do not want Republicans
in their party or to represent it in its con
ventions. When the three parties united in
this state, the Democrats, Populists and Free
Silver Republicans the combination carried
everything but as soon as the election was
over the Washington Democracy politely,
but firmly informed the other two branches
The Seattle Republican., 1904-07-15

Judge Parker has no show IN the world
of carrying a single Western state for, Bryan
himself in the palmy days of "free silver
16 to l. only carried the Western states IN
1896, but lost them all in 1900. Parker is
not one-tenth as strong in the West as was
and is William Jennings Bryan, and there
fore will not get vote West of the Mis-
sissippi Parker, owing to bitter party
strife in Illinois, will loose that state by
greater majority than did Bryan either time
he ran. Parker cannot expect to carry In
diana, as in that state the Republicans are
thoroughly united and with Fairbanks, In
diana s favorte son, holding second place
on the ticket. that state will go overWhelm
ingly against the Democratic nominees.
Granted for sake of argument that Judge
Parker will carry the state of New York,
the vote of that state would only swell the
vote of the E'solid South to some extent
but would fall way short of electing Parker
On the whole Parker and Davis, Democratic
nominees for President and Vice President,
have not one-half as good prospects for elec
ton this year as did Bryan and Stevenson in
1896, or Bryan and Sewall in 1900.
The Seattle Republican., 1904-07-15

If the financial question is not the issue
in the present campaign then, in Heavens
name, so far as the Democrats are concerned,
their platform has been patterned after the
Republican platform. There seems to be no
doubt but that Judge Parker is for 'sound
money ''-favors the gold standard-but the
Republicans have done that for the past eight
years and brought prosperity to the coun-
try through it and what's the need of chang
ing?

In nominating H. G. Davis, the West Vir
ginia octegenarian, for Vice President, the
Democrats have exhibited their usual

The party was only throwing sop to the

and at the same time with the view if he

Senator Tillman's mouth went off with

cause to weep.

The smiles that Hill and Bryan exchanged
at st. Louis indicates that Miss Democracy
and her olive branch accomplished wonders.
The dose of medicine that the sage Of Ne
braska took made him sick for several days.
The fair miss however was content to rest
on her laurels and refused to undertake the
task of reconciling the Lincolnite and old
tub Cleveland.

ignorant to try to explain anything and so

such candidates as the Democrats of the
North select for them. Notwithstanding the
fact that the South always gives the Demo

all the votes cast for them in the electoral

she was informed that her son had been
nominated for the presidency. You wept too
soon my dear madam, you should have
waited until you heard from the voters next
November, when you will then have real
cause to weep.
The Seattle Republican., 1904-07-15

The platform straddle' issued by the
Democratic convention might have deceived
a great many voters if Candidate Parker had
not have opened his mouth to explain, and
according to Democratic precedent, put his
foot in it instead The "Parker Telegram"
has already become famous, and, it's advent
must have been gratifying to the Republican
leaders almost beyond measure.
The Seattle Republican., 1904-07-15

Ex-Candidate Bryan says: Il will vote
for the ticket" Perhaps he will but he
hopes in his heart of hearts that no one else
besides himself and Judge Parker will vote
for it, and The Seattle Republican is rather
inclined to think that, for once, he will get
his hope. Poor old Bryan he is truly
thing of the past and the same seems equally
true of the Democratic party, which has been
domneered by William Jennings Bryan for
the past eight years.

For over huaorcd years there were

resulted, until some twenty years ago

For ten years more there was inter

There Is stIll debt OF 1900, and the little

The people themselves are very ioysl,
and each year raise 900 toward the run

about $3.50 year. This is a very good
showing.
Rev. Charles g. Fogg and his estimabic

erting wide influence for good. Instead
OF horse aud carriage, Mr.. Fogg en-
