Comets Noted by the Sage of Esopus.
Mr.. Chairman INT Gentlemen of the
committee: have resigned the posi-
ton Of Road Commissioner TO accept the
nomination for Deputy Overseer of the
Universe offered me by the grandest
convention of the grandest party in ex-
istence. L have deemed it best to open
the campaign with a resignation, in or
der that l might become accustomed to
the thing and, without undue attrition,
be enabled to exhibit the same spirit In
November.
l shall endeavor to express myself in
a manner which will be no discrclit to
the party of which | have become the
standard bearer. | shall not assume the
methods of speech of a distinguished
predecessor, for it is not my style nor
habit to coin such original expressions
as "innocuous desuetude" or "pernicious
activity" but l hatter myself that, in
the verbal feats Of a%mbiguosity and cir
cumlocution, l can give an object les
son. as 1t We're. to the eminent fisherman
to whom / have made allusion.
Praises the Platform.
The sublime platform recently CON
structed at st. Louis, apparently out of
loose boards left over from the Louisi-
ana Purchase Exposition, is assuredly a
marvel of compact quotations from an
cient and modern sages. AS a matter of
course, 1t makes a liberal use of the de-
ceased Thomas Jefferson-as a party we
always use the deceased Thomas JEFF
ferson-but it goes farther and promises
to correct every known and a consider
able number of unknown wrongs and OUT
RACES, wherever, whatsoever and how
ever they appear in the boundless uni
verse. 1t vows to pry into, investigate.
drag out and jack up the scandals md
breaches Of public trust. which we all
know exist everywhere, when we are out
of Office. Gentlemen, / approve of the
platform.
Liberty.
incidentally | will now refer TO lii
erty, and l feel that l may do so fear
lessly, as it is a well-known assertion. If
not a fact, that many crimes have been
in the name Of said liberty
Liberty is-in short, liberty is something
we always refer to in the platform.
Power u Menace.
Thomas Jefferson said about all tho ro
was worth saying about power, but !
addha few w%ell-chosen words of
warning. There is danger in the very air
OF Washington-nay, in the air of the
entire District of Columbia. l do not
fear it, and l may never nave to breathe
1t. anyway, but, fellow citizens. | warn
YOU against the microbe of power which
lnfests the land watered by the historic
The power which seeks to
things, to accomplish work, to create.

From Secretary Hays address at Jack
m. Mich:
Secretary Hays Questions.
EVEN on this narrow issue they will
'odge most of the details. Ask them.
aas the President been a good citizen,
Il good soldier, q good man in all per-
Sohal relations? Is he a man of intel
iigence, of education? Does he know
thls country we'll? Does he know the
world outside? Has he studied law. his
fory and politics? Has he had great
'hances to learn, and has he improved
mem! Is he sound and strong in mind.
oooy and soul? Is he accessible and
iF'endly to all sorts and conditions of
men! Has he the courage n candor
ana the God-given ability to speak to
me people and tell them what he thinks?
10 all these questions they will answer,
les. Then what is your objection TO
MN! They will either stand speechless
or they will answer with the parrot cry
which we have heard so often: He Is
unsafe.
I'm a certain sense we shall have to
admit this to be true To every grade
OF law breaker, high or low: to a man
VINO would rob Il till or a ballot box.
10 the sneak or the bully; to the hypo-
crlte and the humbug. Theodore Roose-
Welt is more than unsafe. lie is posi-
lively dangerous.
But let us be serious with these peo-
pie. What are the coeficients of safety
III a chief Of state? He should have
courage; the wisest coward that ever
lived is not fit TO rule. And intelli-
gence: we want no bl~under-headed hero
IN the White House. And honesty: a
clever thief would do infinite mischief.
These three are the indispensables. With
them a man is all the more safe IL he
mas a sense of proportion, a sense Of
humor, a wide knowledge of men OF
affairs; if he seeks good counsel; and
hnally, IT he is a patriot, If he loves his
country, believes in 1t and seeks in all
things its interest and it's glory. All
men may make mistakes: but such q
man as this will make few and no grave
ones.
Such q man is our President and our
candidate"

you are very much mistaken. Such a

cry of The yellow peril I think it
would be wiser TO beware of the Mus

As regards the neutrality Of China
we IT 10 take the same position as
outlined by Secretary Hay. The integ-
rity Of china must be preserved at all
costs We 90 not want her for our ally,
and if she enters the war it must be as
an independent nation. or course. she
must fight 30 preserve her own nation

still while Russian soldiers are burning

being massacred.

She is lighting to preserve the peace Of
Asia and not Tor any ambitious pur-
