fer it stand absolutely condemned for
refusing to allow an impartial inyestiga-
tion. We find indeed that the sacred af-
fairs of this government have been used
for selfish political advantage. 1t is bad
enough to use questionable methods. in
sering a nomination or an election, but
when any officer worthy of trust is given
the sacsed trust Of Office he should draw
the dead line.
Il have Travelled pretty thoroughly
over this country since ths beginning of

a greater opposition toward Roosevelt on
the part of Republicans than ever was
been exhibited toward any candidate for

PLAINFIELD, Oct. 20. 904-"As' a
result of our conference, Mr.. Parker dis
abused his mind of any idea
that men who voted the straight ticket
during the last two campaigns would be
disloyal to the party this time, and I
learned that the Democratic Presidential
candidate is wonderful man. said Jas.
e. MARITIME in an enthusiastic talk with
a reporter yesterday.
In response to a summons, Mr.. Mar
tine, the Democratic Congressional can
didate in the Fifth District, was cIoseted
with Mr.. Parker in his private apart
ments at the Hotel Seville in New York,
yesterday, for half an hour.
In speaking to the correspondent, Mr..
MARITIME said: ''We talked at length over
the situation in New Jersey, and in fact,
of other so-called doubtful States.
''Why, do you know, Mr.. Parker was
perfectly familiar with the Republican
faetional fight in this district and dwelt
upon its Importance in the present cam
paign.
I assured him that the Democracy in
New Jersey is united and that I believed
we would carry the State by 1900 ma
jority. 1 showed him letter which I
had received for. Mr.. Bryan soon after
the Presidential convention, in which the
Nebraskan said:-
"'I feel that we have good candidate
and a good platform, and that we are GO
ing to win. Mr.. Parker is a good man.
l told him that that wanted to let him
see the letter 50 that he would know that
the party is no longer divided against
itself, and that factional strife is forgot

John Sweeney gave the history of the
candidate for Governor aad his efforts to
restrain railroad domination as compared
with John W. Griggs and Mr.. Stokes. At
this time the Pennington delegation ar
rived. Upon the presentation, of Mr..
Black the applause was almost indescrib-
able. He spoke briefly, but straight to
the point. In Lambertville the railroad
owns main stem of over three miles,
valued at s34o,255, on which $1,24o tax
is paid.
Under the Democratic plan, this would
be increased to over $1,000. He express
ed an anticipation of victory. \
Other speakers were Robert L. Stew

George Hanson. To-
The spirit of enthusiasm shown is
gratifying and highly encouraging. The

MILES SANGUINE

NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 1904.-Among
those who called on Judge
Parker at his headquarters at the Se-
vile yesterday were Alexander II. Rob-
ertson and Henry A. Bishop, candidates
respectively for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor Of Connecticut. Mr.. Robertson
was the bearer Of the most encoura ging
kind of reports from his State. He told
Judge Parker that the Democrats held
the. State safe. according to the most
conservative estimates.
I have every assurance" said Mr..
Robertson, 'that Connecticut will be
found in the Democratic ranks. The last
few days haye made a perceptible differ
ence in the situation and to my mind
there is no longer any doubt that both
the National and State tickets will be
victorious
Gen. Nelson a. Miles was one of the
earliest callers ON the candidate. He
told Judge Parker that he was gaining
strength every day of the campaign and
that when election day arrived he would
certainly be swept into the White House
on a tidal wave of popular votes. Gen.
Miles has recently been in the west.
So far as my impressions direct me-"
said the General, there is not the least
room for doubt as to the outcome of this
election. Every sign indicates that Judge
Parker will be elected. The Republicans
are sure to get surprise when the vote
of the Western States is counted. Out
there ityis plainly evident that there has
been a revulsion of feeling. Some of the
States that are now counted as close but
safely Republican are likely to be found
in the Democratic column when the time
comes.
Everywhere that l have been there
has been one thing apparent, and that is
that the Republicans are not satisfied
with the situation, although of course
there is no end of Republican talk about
a clean sweep
Another caller at the Seville was
Congressman Bowers of Mississippi.
There were delegations from several
other States, and all brought the same
areport-that the Democratic ticket was
gaining in strength daily.
Senator McCarreR hurried over from
Democratic State headquarters at the
Hoffman House late In. the afternoon for
conference with the candidate on the
situation in Brooklyn He was, closeted
with Judge Parker for nearly an hour,
the chief topic of discussion being the
heavy registration in all Of the city dis
tricts
s'The greater the registration, /" said
Senator McCarren aftsrward, s'the more
certain Is Democratic success. This un-
usually heavy registration means that the
independent and mugwump voters are all
coming out this year, and they never
come ont except when cunning for some
candidate, They never come but to vote
for somebody, but to put in a ballot
against him for soma reason. In face Of
the registration figures Democratic yic-
!, tory i assured. =
