Tie Republican party believes
in reciprocity that will benefit tho

fesses to believe in aHy brand OF
reciprocity that promises to hood
wink voters at the polls.
4 famous French chef, visiting
in New York, says he cannot un-
dcrstand why the American peo-
pie do not eat more soup. He
ought to be told that they had an
overdose of it when the Democrats
were in power.
Democratic papers insist that
President Roosevelt is the issu e.
That is a high tribute to the abb
sense of vulnerability in the Re-
publican record Of the last eight
years.
We are surprised that Tom Wat
son is surprised at the political gy-
rations Of the Democratic party.
Tom belonged to the organization

John Sharp Williams declares
that Democrats do not die in Office.
They are dying, however, to get

Unable to point to any act of
President Roosevelt's administra-
tion that is censurable, the Demo-
Gratis are expressing the fear that
he will proye his dangerous char
acter if he is elected. Funny, but
that is just what the voters of the
nation are thinking about the
Democratic party.
In making wagers on the elec-
ton results the Democrats will not
even accept the Is to l ratio. Some

Tom Watson Lifts tho LID.

In his speech accepting the nom-
ination Of the Pol.ulist party for
the Presidency, the Hon. Tom
Watson drove home some rather
startling facts to the Democratic
national ticket in the past two
presidential campaigns. That is,
they were calculated to be start.
ling to the Democrats and to cause
them to put on their thinking caps.
Among other things he said this:
''The mass of the Democratic
party feel outraged at the way il
which their leaders have sold them
to Wall Street. l do not believe
that the six and a half millions OF
men who followed Bryan witt
cheers on their lips and warm con
victiOn In their hearts can now be
delivered like cattle to the Cleve
landites who knitted the ticket o,
bolted in 1896. l believe that the
great majority Of the men who
voted for Bryan are men of con
viction; l cannot but hope thoy
will realize that l ana fighting theil
battle now."
Mr. Watson was calling atten
ton of the $500, 900 Bryan Demo
Gratis to the way they had beer
sold out at St. Louis. It was cyl
dent Of course to every one tha'
the silverites were in control of th,
St. Louis convention of the demo
cracy. By a vote of 3o to Is, il
the committee on resolutions, the
gold plank proposed by the eastern
conservatives was stricken from
the draft of the platform that thu
committee was engaged in draw
ing.
BY some that was considered Z
very crafty stroke or politics. Mr.
David B. Hill of New York though,
80; he put his finger alongside hi'
nose and said to himself, in effect
"Now we will not offend the 8, 500,
600 men who followed Bryan, and
without whose votes we canno'
hope to win." Then, twenty-fou1
hours later, when the conYentiol
was ready to adjourn, having
adopted the platform and made th'
nomination for president, ant
when in fact hundreds of delegate
had left the town, along came th'
gold telegram of Judge Parker
"Fine" said Mr.. Hill, ''that saves

In raising the cry of "eonstitu-

cidentalIy called attention to the
fact that the Democratic conven-
ton of 1864 made that the issue
and applied the same brand of
abuse to President Lincoln that
they are now heaping upon Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Democrats may
also rest assured that history will
repeat itself and they will be lick

The Republican party put the

propose, to unsettle business, dis.
