THOROUGHLY EXPOSED.
The Weakness OF Parker and Davis
Grows Palmer Each Day.

Grows Palmer Each Day.
It appears thar Judge Parker of
Esopus is going 10 New York City to
run his own campaign. The revelation
has come, but it has come more swiftly
than most Of US expected. The revela-
tion is simply this-that the idea Of the
country that the Democrats had nomi-
mated fine old Judge whose character
led up to the standard of what a judge
should be is shivered into Splinters. Two
years ago the country knew nothing Of
Judge Alton B. Parker of New York,
and little Of Henry Gassaway Davis of
West Virginia. two men picked up. for
q purpose, by the men who controlled the
Democratic national convention. How
clear TO everybody now must be the sit
uation! Instead of this stately judge
who sent the stately telegram to St.
Louis appears, and for all permanency.
merely a decent creature of the famous
New York politician, David Bennett
Hill
1t is all queer. 1t appears so unsub-
stantial and Indifferent that Hill could
have nominated one Of his creations for
the Presidency!
As the days pass in this autumn of
1904 the eyes of the American people
are opening as to the political situation.
There is no anguish following the open
ing. 1t is practically all over, save the
exhibition Of certain exuberance next
November.
1t is impossible that such a people
as are the voters of the United States
could vote generally to place the gov
ernment in the hands Of Tammany and a
weak but crafty Democratic leader
whose aims and objects have seemed
ever to be for himself alone, one who
has never heard or thought of the ex-
preston. "the greatest good for the
greatest number" and who. above all
seems incompetent for the best manage
ment of the United States.

DEMOCRATS ADMISSION.
Parker's Party Afraid to Stand on Its
Past Record.

John B. Stanchfeld, one Of the leaders
of the New York Democracy, said in
speech at Schenectady:
They the Democrats) do not stand on
their past, but they present live inter
probation Of live issues
Truly, the Democratic party does not
stand on its past. It dares not stand
on its past-on its advocacy Of free
coinage of silver. on its demand for the
hauling down of the flag in the Philip
pines. on the business paralysis that
marked the last period during which tine
Democratic party was in control OF the
government: on its declaration that the
war for the preservation Of the Union
was a failure; on all the blundering op-
position of which its history is con
tinuous record.
The Democratic party does not and
dares not stand upon its record. because
its record would discredit the most en-
ticing promises that it could make.

RAILWAY MANS VIEWS.
Country Is Prosperous, and Roosevelt
Will Be Elected.

Will be Elected
e. H. Hartman. one of the best in
formed railway officials in the country,
says a continuation of national pros
perity is assured Recently he said to
a New York Herald reporter:
Conditions which in other years
caused panic and national distress do
not now exist. In all localities-in Ne
braska and Kansas, in the East and the
Far West-the local moneyed interests
are conservative. 1t is possible to in
vestigate with accuracy any financial or
Industrial question. The small money
centers as well as the large ones are
well supplied with funds. and this fact
insnres careful investment and mini
mizes risk There has been slow,
steady enhancement of values, and it is
still going on"
When asked for his opinion on the
probable outcome of the election. he said:
1T will be Roosevelt and Fairbanks.
Every one wants them. No one can af-
ford to change"
Milford chronicle., 1904-09-30
nemocrats Admire Roosevelt.

Radical Democratic newspapers are
forced to admit that President Roose-
yelt's letter Of acceptance is strenuous
presentation of the issues from a Repub-
lican standpoint. Even the New York
World and Denver Times commend the
Presidents keynote" The fact is, there
is not Democrat in the land who does
not admire Mr.. Roosevelt's direct way of
going at things. and all would vote for
linn if they could at the same time re-
tain their party organization. There
will be no real regret among Democrats
when Mr.. Roosevelt is elected. He is
ten times more popular with the mass
of Democracy than Judge Parker is.

CONVENTION OF CLUBS.
Low Rate Of Fare Secured by LeaEuers
for indianapolis Meeting.


for indianapolis Meeting.
At the request of the officers Of the
National Republican League. who are
working up interest IL the convention of
Republican Clubs at indianapolis, Oct
. and g. the Central Passenger Associa-
tion has conceded rate from all points
in the territory of the association of one
fare plus - cents for the round trip.
The selling dates are Oct. +. and g and
the return limit Oct. 8, thus enabling a
visit to 81 Louis. 1t was agreed that
these fares should be rendered other as
sociations east and west. No card or
ders or certificates are required on the
dates mentioned.
President Moore of the National
League after consulting with President
c. W. Mcclure of the Indiana League.
and representatives of the Illinois organ
ization. returned TO Philadelphia. He
said the Organization OF Republican
clubs was being pushed with vgor and
that an attendance of at least 1000 dele
gates from the various State and terri
torial leagues was expected at Indian
apolis. Headquarters will be opened at
the Denison Hotel in that city at once
The League men are especially pleased
with the low rates of fare secured. and

PARKER's DEFICIT SCARE.
It Is RasiIy Exploded by an Appeal
TO Facts and Figures.


The Ulster County candidate. labor
ing hard over Judge Parker's speech to
the faithful Democratic editors, scissOred
out some statistics with which TO ham
mer the Republican administration. But
while the judge was toiling over his
empty sentences,
"His cogitative faculties immersed
In cogibundity Of cogitation'
his aptitude for figures went on vaca-
tion and he prepared, or accepted, some
very queer conclusions which he gave
to the admiring editors with much pomp
and circumstance.
The trouble is that the Ulster County
politicians deficit is not deficit at
all. when it comes 10 realities. The Re-
puhlicans delightedly accept the chal-
lenge of the Democratic candidate, for 1t
gives them a chance to show a few sta
tistics themselves.
Judge Parker asserts. says a Wash
ington dispatch TO the Chicago Chron-
icle. that there is now a deficit of ST.
O0O.O0O. instead of surplus of SSuOOO.-
600. which Mr.. Roosevelt found on be-
coming President Both statements are
reckless. as a 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 deficit
OF S4O,O0000O in round numbers. but
during that time the United States paid
S5O.OOOO00 for a Panama canal and ad
vanced S4.50O,OO0 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 S42.OO0OO0 from the $j4.50O.OOl
paid for the purchase of the Panama
canal and the encouragement of an eX
position of worldwide scope and impor
tance. he would find balance Of ST.
O0O.OOO and upward on the other side OF
the ledger"

Rstnil Merchants Rusy.

Reports from every city in the country
tell of great activity among the retail
merchants. who are laying in stocks and
preparing for a lively fall and winter
trade. When the retail merchants are
busy the country is prospering, for they
depend largely on the working people for
cnstom. Democrats who are bowling
calamity and hard times should retire
to the Halls of Silence at Esopus and
immure themselves until the campaign
is over lest they be engulfed by the Re
rpblican wave of prosperity.
