OUR NEW YORK LETTER

s president of the Lithographic union,
and gentleman of great influence in
labor circles. Marius G. Martyr, the
other nominee for elector at large, is
a furniture manufacturer of James
town, N. Y. Mr.. Martyr is a gentle
man of the highest reputation in bust
ness circles. The remaining thirty
seven electors, representing the several
congressional districts in the state, are
gentlemen of excellent standing, every
one of whom, owing to the esteem with
which he is regarded in their several
localities, will attract votes to the
peoples party ticket. Great credit
should be given to Mr.. M. A. Palliser of
this city, Judge Samuel Seabury of the
city court of New YORK, and Mr.. j. w.
Forrest of Albany to whom the selec-
ton of the state ticket was entrusted,
for the great wisdom they have dis
played in making up the ticket.
During the past week the organiza-
ton of the different counties through
out the state in the interest Of the
peoples party, has been vigorously
pressed. The greater portion OF the
counties have already been organized,
and in many counties organization by
assembly and election districts, is now
being actively undertaken. In fact,
every possible preparation is being
made for vigorous, active and eff
ficient canvass Of the state. am well
justified in saying that measured by
membership and resources, the peoples
party Of the state Of New York is
doing much more in the way of careful
canvass than either the republican or
democratic parties.
Referring to the condition Of the
democratic campaign in the state,
may say that the vote in Vermont on
Tuesday last greatly discouraged the
democratic managers, both at national
and state headquarters. These gentle
men had fully expected to keep the re-
publican plurality in Vermont below
$4,000. Great was their chagrin when
the Wednesday mornings papers an
nounced that the republican plurality
was 1880, being 244 votes greater
than that obtained by Mckinley over
Bryan in 1900.
Respecting the feeling at national
democratic headquarters, think am
justified in saying that at least three
fourths Of the democratic executive
committee have given up hope of
electing Mr.. Parker. There is no en-
thusiasm whatsoever over the candi-

Those Eastern Cranks

The description given to an AssO-

date. The much heralded convention
of democratic editors, who Mr. jose
phus Daniels. chairman of the commit
tee of arrangements for the convention,
states number 800 throughout the
United States. and to all of whom an
invitation to attend the convention at
the expense of the national committee
was given, assembled to the amazing
number Of from IA to 231, according to
the reports of different New York pa
pers A banker friend of mine, with
whom | am well acquainted, told me
that he had been a spectator at the
banquet, at which Colonel Watterson
of the Louisville Journal, and other
leading democratic editors spoke, and
that cit was the greatest frost that he
ever knew; that there was an utter
lack of enthusiasm, and that he (by
the way a democrat) was thoroughly
convinced that Parker would be very
badly beaten by Roosevelt.
Although early in the campaign, the
democratic managers are showing some
indication of panicky feeling. For
example, they have hired an additional
floor in the building which the nation
al committee occupies, apparently for
the sole purpose of having desk room
to which they can assign Bryan men
who are inclined to support the peo-
pies party, but whose financial condi-
tion is. such as to lead them to con-
sent to be placed on the democratic
headquarters payroll, on the under
standing that they will be only called
on for nominal services. / am glad,
however, to say that the democratic
managers have not in this way sue
ceeded in capturing any Watson men
of influence. AS a further indication
of alarm on the part of the democratic
magnates, | may say that although a
semi official announcement was made
some twenty days ago to the effect that
Judge Parker would not deliver any
speeches in the campaign, the party
managers are bringing great pressure
upon him to deliver dozen or more
speeches, the majority of them in this
state. He is also being urged to open
headquarters in New York in order
that he can give close personal atten-
ton to the campaign.
AS further indicating the feeling Of
hopelessness on the part of the demo-

words, "let us at least save New York
The fact is. Judge Parker is today a
much weaker candidate than the day
he was nominated. His nomination
was blunder, since he is gentleman
who lacks stamina and initiative be-
sides the men who were most active in
securing his nomination and who are
now closest to him in managing his
canvass, very greatly discredit his can
didacy in the minds of many thinking
people. His speech of acceptance Of
the nomination was weak and showed
him to be man without decided opin-
ions of his own upon public questions
of the highest Importance.
In brief, the voters of the country
are coming to know that Judge Parker
Is absolutely weak man, and ii elect
ed president, would give the country
an administration dominated to great
extent by what may be termed political
FOUNDERS of the Hill, Taggert, Sheehan
and McCarren stripe. The plain peo-
pie OF the country want nothing of this
kind, and consequently will, in my
judgment, give Mr.. Parker million or
more less votes than Mr.. Bryan in
1900. This million or more votes will
be cast for Watson and Tibbles, whose
ability and sincerity, together with the
clear cut. statements Of the peoples
party platform, making for the inter-
ests Of the people as they do, command
the respect of the voters Of the land,
and will consequently more and more
successfully appeal for their franchises.

thrift. on the duty Of taking thought
for the morrow, he could hardly do bet

Behold the fowls of the air! They
