Weighing carefully all the argu-
ments advanced In the name of patriot
ism, or I'm the art OF politics, with in
tent to reach a correct judgment. this
convention is unable TO find wherein
anything has been shown by the DEM
ocratic party to justify a change OF
faith on the part of a single Republic
can. On the contrary, II has been
demonstrated I'm many ways and In the
vacillation of the Democratic candi-
dates that they are seeking merely the
confusion of Republican voters by
laying claim to established Republican
doctrines and by contending for hon
ors which rightfully belongs In spite
OF Democratic obstacles, to the Re-
publican party alone.

WAR IN THE EAST.

The significance of a Mukden
dispatch noting an unusual acti-
vity in that place is the subject of
much speculation at st. Peters,
burg. The theory that it indicates
the purpose of Gen. Kuropatkin
to evacuate the town is not gen.
orally accepted, military officers
there surmising that the commo-
tion noted is in connection with a
movement to check a Japanese
fianking operation.
In Russian official circles some
credence is given to the rumor
that Admiral Wren has left Port
Arthur with his ships, the con-
fusion resulting from a severe
storm on Tuesday being regarded
as having made such dash pos
sible. Time expired members OF
the Guards regiments in st. Peters,
burg and vicinity have been order
ed to remain with the colors.
There are indications that the
Russian warships in the Baltic
will soon be dispatched to the Far
East.

FAKE CITIZENS ARE
VOTED IN NEW YORK.
Claim Is Made That Naturalization
Papers Are FrauduIently Obtained.

Papers Are FrauduIentIy Obtained.
New York, Oct. Elm letter to
law committee OF Tammany Hall,
State superintendent of Elections Nor
gan to-day said
1T is a matter of common motor
iety that elections in the state or
New York have been tainted with cor
ruption through the use Of citizenship
papers fraudulently obtained from both
state and federal courts, and also
through the use of forged certificates
of naturalization"
He then referred to the recent ac-
tion of the State Supreme Court in
cancelling a number of naturalization
certificates and continued:
Large as the number of certificates
may seem which were cancelled by
Judge Gildersleeve, this number is but
a small fraction of the naturalization
frauds already discovered, and a
much smaller percentage than will be
discovered by this office by the first
day of registration for the general
election of 1904.
This investigation will be continued
by this Office within proper legal
bounds without Interference or dictav
tion on the part Of any organization,
political or otherwise, or set of indi-
viduals. At the same time, every con-
sideration which justice can extend will
be shown to the poor unfortunates who
have through ignorance COME into pos
session of certificates of naturallza-
ton, which by law they are not en-
titled to possess.
mo effort will be spared and every
power which is invested in this Of
fee will be directed toward bringing to
Justice those who have knowingly Sc
cured for these unfortunates fraudulent
certificates, the possession of which
constitutes a crime"

members of the United Clearing House
of Toxic to-day Count Okuma, the
leader of the Progressive party warn
ed the people to prepare for long
war, the date Of the termination of
which it was now impossible to fore
tell.
He predicted that the cost to Japan
for a two-years' war, including loans
which have been already placed and
the expenses consequent upon the war
at it's termination, would total $1,000,
100000, which would make the per

appeared to pervade the military, po-
litical and financial departments of the
Russian government, and that this cor

which threatened a revolution. 1t was
even reported that Lieut. Gen. Stoessel,
now defending Port Arthur, and upon
whose shoulders rested the RESPONSE
bility for the loss of a large share of
Russian prestige in East Asia, was
guilty of dissipation during the siege.
The speaker declared that the weak
ness of the Russians gave the Japan
ese many victories.
Despite her weaknesses. Count Oku-
ma said Russia possessed immense re-
sources and had tremendous advan-
tages in the size of her population and
the greatness of her wealth. and 1t
would be necessary for the Japanese
to make sacrifices in order to attain
success. He predicted that the war
would cost Russia from one and a half
billion to two. billion dollars, and said
it would sknpossible to raise loans
or to increase the taxes in Russia, be-
cause the limit had been reached.
The Count predicted that it would
be necessary for the Japanese govern
ment to borrow S25O,OOO,GOO next year,
and added that if $75,OOO.0OO were Sc
cured abroad the country must face a
depreciation in the values of its securi-
ties.

sources, and expressed the fullest con-
