Mr.. DAVIS CONTRIBUTION
Democratic Vice Presidential Candi-
date Draws the Line at $5O,OOO.

Democratic Vice Presidential Candi-
date Draws the Line at $4,000.
A press telegram dated Cumberland,
Md, Sept. z, says:
ct is stated on reliable authority from
Elkins that the campaign contribution
of Henry G.. Davis will not be anything
like the amount the Democratic manag-
ers had expected. He has fixed the
amount for all purposes at $4,000 and
his brother, Col. Thomas B. Davis of
Keyser, w. Va, gave similar amount.
'Mrs. Elkins and Mrs Arthur Lee,
daughters of Mr.. Davis, are known to
have objected to their father contribut-
ing large sums, and his son, John t.
Davis, is said to have done likewise.
-Four years ago John i. Davis spent
large sum in four counties when his
Uncle Tom was candidate for Con
gress, but no results were obtained. Col.
Davis being defeated by a large vote.
Since then the Davises have little faith
in politicians judiciously expanding
money"
There's some sense in the Davis fam
lily, it appears The ex-senator himself
has always succeeded in hanging on to
his dollars.
How much better it will be to use
some of papa's money to buy pretty bon
nets and gowns with, than to, throw them
to the knocking birds of the Democratic
campaign committee!
And all for nothing, too!

TAMMANY "TAR WATER. /"

Will 1t Prove an Acce pta Bile Beverage
to Respectable Democrats:
Judge Parker's ''admonition," adj
dressed to his waning supporters. in his
speech to the visiting editors, has in it..
for all its rhodomontade, a shadow OF
the pathetic.
1t is little wonder that there are dis
sensions in the Democratic camp, as
staid gentlemen from the South, East
and West, men who have certain tradi-
tons of responsibility to reckon with,
find that their candidate is and always
has been cheek by jowl with David
Bennett Hill and hand in glove with
Tammany.
Judge Parker, recognizing the dangers
of his position, but unabl to shake off
the political associates and methods by
which he has risen, pleads fervently for
the elimination of personal, factional
and unimportant differences involving no
surrender Of principle" Such elimina-
ton, he declares, lis essential to sue
cess"
But will the Democrats drink the
Tammany star water?"
There is something to be sailor
there WAS-in favor, even. of star
water" Bishop Berkeley in his famous
eulogy upon that old-fashioned but un-
pleasant mixture declared: GIT is OF
A NATURE SO MILD AND BENIGN
AND PROPORTIONED TO THE
HUMAN CONSTITUTION AS TO
WARM WITHOUT HEATING, TO
CHEER BUT NOT INEBRIATE.'
Still, tar water went out Of fashion!

New York Tribune.l
To charge that the President Of the
United States is so reckless and un-
scrupulous that he means, if elected, to
grasp Mexico, the West Indies, Central
America and South America, and con-
solidate all in one huge American EN-
pire-that is moderate and proper polit-
ical discussion. "The candidate is the
issue"
TO recite, with scrupulous moderation,
the historic facts concerning the entry
into public life of the opposing candi-
date-facts that no man disputes or
dare dispute-that is mud-throwingw
TO mention that his first political
friends and creators were the ballot-box
suffers Of Stony Hollow and Jockey
Hill; that his debut as a political man
ager was, while a surrogate judge as
the State chairman for and personal
representative Of David B. Hill, who in
gratitude made him Supreme Court
Justice; and that, when he needed a
close friend to intrust with his bid to
Bryanites for the Chief Judgeship Of
the Court o. Appeals on the ground that
he had voted for Bryan, he chose as
such confidential representative the cleo
ton thief Danforth-to mention these
nndisputed and indisputable facts, it
seems according to the mortified Demo
cratic organs, is 'mud-slinging.
Well shivering souls, if those facts
imply mud then that is the sort of
mud your candidate lives in. You in

hide it. ''The candidate is the ISSUE"

Taggart Is Fascin ated.

Tom Taggart is so fascinated by the
inscrutable mystery behind Judge Par
ker's speech Of acceptance that he can
not lay it aside long enough to take his
meals. He pores over it from morn till
dewy eve. He reads it in his bath at
French Lick Springs and drops to sleep
reading it in bed. He declares that the
elusive mystery of what it all means
becomes clearer with every perusal, and
that by the close of the campaign he con-
fidently expects that it y-ill be as clear
as the water of his own Pluto spring.

Repubrican vs.. Democratic rolicY.

Organization does much to maintain
the wages of labor, but organization of
wage-earners does not provide consum-
ers. Consumption of coal is always
greatest when mills and factories are run
ming full time 1t is the policy of the
Republican party to protect all indus
tries by wise and benefcent laws, while
If has been the policy of the Democratic
party. as evidenced by the last Cleveland
administration, to provide as much work
as possible for the artisans of other coun-
tries by removing the protection the tar
iff affords American workingmen.

The truth is, there is now more dis
affection in the Democratic party than
there was when Bryan was nominated
the first time. Neither Bryan Demo-
Gratis nor friends of w. r. Hearst will
support Parker. In New York State the
Bryanites have put a State pvpunst
ticket in the field and will vote for Wat
son, the Populist nominee for the Presi-
dency. In New Jersey the Hearstites
have organized the Peoples Demo
cratic party" and will fight the regular
organization. In Indiana and other
States the free silver and Bryan Demo
Gratis are in arms and will worry the
Parker party.

Would 1t Re Wise?

1t is conceded that the Democrats are
not on record on the tariff question. This
being the case, would it not be unwise
to trust tariff revision to the party OPP
posed to the principle Of protection, the
result being practically free trade, bring
ing industrial depression, hard times and
the inevitable lowering of prices on farm

Tom Watson acknowledges that the
condition of American workingmen is
now vastly improved, and that in their
homes they enjoy conveniences of life
which king could not command some
hundred years ago. If the Democracy

Parker's Election Would Unsettls
Business.

Eugene A. Merrill president Of the
Minnesota Loan and Trust Company Of
Minneapolis, in an interview in the Com
mercial West of Minneapolis says:
''Much has been said concerning the in
significance of the coming election so far
as it relates to business. 1t has been urged
that the maintenance of the gold stand
ard is assured, etc, but, while the theory
of the case is excellent, yet as matter
of fact the man with money to invest does
not want to be monetarily involved In
unsettling Of conditions through a change
of administration. The policy OF the party
in power is pretty well known and it's con-
tinuance in office will precipitate no diff
culties. The policy of the opposition may

some contraction in business and financial
enterprises at least temporarily until the

Morrison'e Nomination Assured
(Kootenai Herald.)

Many Of the counties Of the state
have held their conventions during the
past two weeks and the results have
been strongly favorable to Governor
Morrison for denomination. Even the
'favorite sons have not been able to
prevail against him In some counties.
This was notably the case in Latah
county where Mr.. Jenkins, one Of the
more prominent candidates failed to
secure his delegation. In fact, 1t II be-
Ing demonstrated that there IL no such
wide spread dissatisfaction az some are
want to make believe. In the early
part Of the campaign the governor
complacently remarked that he would
leave the matter to the people and the
people have been looking after his in-
terests with good results. We predict
that when the state convention meets
the Morrison sentiment will be found
10 strong that no other name will be
presented to the convention. The sew
enteen votes Of Kootenal are for Nor
rison and the outlook Is that ne will
have a large majority Of all the dele
gates from North Idaho.

Political Oriftwood

montpelier ExaminerO
According to reports received. Of the
various county conventions held the
past week In the state, Governor Morri-
son has a cinch on being renominated.
He has over 100 pledged delegates and
another 100 or 30 who, though not
pledged. are favorable to him, and he
only needs 143 to win.
It seems probable that when the full
count IL made there will be- no other
name presented to the convention
Cooling II no doubt a good republican
patriot. but he amt going to allow him
self to be knocked down just for the
sake Of allowing few dissatisfied pol
iticians chance to vent their spite on
Governor Morrison.

though the entire list Of officers In the
state house would be renominated.
