Johu b. stanchfeld, one of the leaders

speech at Schenectady:
They tthe Democrntsl do not stand on
their past. but they present a live inter
probation of live issues"
Truly. the Democratic party does not
stand on its past 1t dares not stand
on its past-on its advocacy of free
coinage OF silver, on its demand for the
hauling down of the dag in the Philip
pines. on the business paralysis that
marked the last period during which the
Democratic party was in control of the
government; on its declaration that the
war for the preservation of tie Union
was a failure: on all the blundering op-
position OF which its history is 4 con-
tinuous record.
The Democratic party does not and
dares not stand upon its record, because

THE UNDERGROUND LINE.

Virtue reigns supreme to-day about
Esopus;
1t Is purged of all that jars the proper
mind.
The thing that's most conspicuous round
Esopus
Is the absence of the peanut eating
kind;
And in all the air that circulates at Rose
mount
Not a plutocratic odor can be found;
But the public still suspects there's
something doing
In the subway to Esopus, under
ground.
In the cold and shady distance they're
remaining,
Willy Dave and wicked August all
alone.
Their base presence no more casts a dark
reflection
In the Emelight that descends around
For the candidates declared he never
knew them:
He repeats it while the white robed are
around;
Then he coyly turns one ear to earth and
listens
To instruction from the subway under
ground.
And August smiles serenely Ger at
Davy.
And Dave looks back and -winks the
other eye;
And all the while they keep right on ar
ranging
The place and style of each plum In
the pie.
''Yes. it is a trife lonesome. this seelu-
sion,"
sound.
For Dave and 1 amt longin' to be hoo
doos.'
Then they hit the trail for Rosemount
under ground.

PARkeR's DEFICIT SCARE.
Il Is Kssity Exploded by an Appeal
20 Facts and Fixurea.

The Ulster County candidate, labor
Ing hard over Judge Parker's speech to
the faithful Democratic editors, scissored
out some statisticr with which to ham
mer the Republican administration. But
while the judge was toiling over his
empty sentences.
His eoriisilve faeul,ie. irnme,ed
his aptitude for figures went on . vaca-
ton and he prepared, or accepted. some
very queer conclusions. which he gave
to the admiring editors with much pomp
and circumstance.
The trouble 10 that the Ulster County
politicisn's deficit is not a deficit at
all. when IL comes TO realities The Re-
publicans delightediy accept the chal-
lenre of the Democratic candidate, for II
gives them a chance TO show q few sta
tistics themselves.
Judge Parker asserts" says q Wash
ington dispatch to the Chicago Chron-
icle. that there Is now a deficit of S42,-
100000. instead OF n surplus OF $50. .o0o.-
600. which Mr.. Roosevelt found on be-
coming President. Both statements are
reckless, as careful examination of
the records of the treasury will show.
In regard to the deficit. the receipts and
expenditures for the fiscal year ending
June 30. 1904. show an apparent dencit
of $io.0o0oOo In round numbers, but
during that time the United States paid
$50. .oOo. 600 for a Panama canal and ad.
vanced S4.5oo.0oo to the Louisiana pur-
chase exposition. which latter amount Is
to be returned TO the government. II
Mr.. Parker will deduct his apparent def
cit of Si2.0o0,0oo from the S54.50o, 600
paid for the purchase OF the Panama
canal and the encoura cement of an ex.
position % worldwide scope and impor-
tance. he would find a balance OF. Sl2,-
