REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, June L-Intense religious
excitement prevails at Tangier on account
Of one Of the annual Mohammedan pill
grimages, and because OF the presence
there of seven American warships. SEN
to back up diplomatic demands for the
release Of Ion Perdicaris. Kidnapped by
Raisuli. a bandit.
Rear Admiral Chadwick cabled the
Navy Department to-day that the pres
ence Of the American warships has a sal
lutary effect; that one italian warship
has arrived at Tangier and that an Eng
lish. warship 10 expected. This is his
answer to European criticism that the
United States acted too vigorously in
making q naval demonstration at Tangier.
Advices nave been received that the ne
~gotiations for the release Of the captives
will be pursued with fresh vigor within
a few days, when the religious festival
now in progress has concluded. The
French Government Is known to be ex-
ceedingiy busy In its endeavors to infiu-
snce Raisuli to release the captives on
less onerous terms than the exorbitant
monetary and political ransom he has
already named.
The Shereef OF WeZan Is regarded as the
most potent medium between the French
Government and the bandits. and 1t is be-
lieved that. on account Of his reputed d.
rect descent from Fatima, the beloved
daughter Of the prophet, he will be able
to work better al a time Of intense re-
iigious feeling like the present than here
tofore.
The impediment which this religious fes-
tival constitutes makes the Perdicaris
case much like the abduction Of Miss
Stone by Bulgarian brigands. The efforts
Of tho United States to communicate with
the Porte on that occasion were frequent
ly blocked by the frequent religious fes-
tivals which brought the entire govern
ment momentarily to a halt.
Rear Admiral Chadwick reports that the
Marietta, which yesterday was at Glib
for supplies. has returned to Tan
gfer.

Special Correspondence
Washington, DC, April 27, 1904.

Washington, DC, April 27, 1904.
National politics of the democratic
brand is still holding the boards as
the one great attraction here in the
national capital. The action OF the
New York state convention on last
Monday, in endorsing Judge Parker
and instructlng for him has been
the chief topic of political converse
ton around the capital and in the
democratic CLOAK room. There are
divergent opinions as to the effect
OF this action on the respective can
didacies of Parker and Hearst.
Many of the rampant Parker men
are pleased at this action, and say
that it practically settles the matter
and assures the nomination of Par
ker. On the other hand, the friends
of the Hon. William Randolph Hearst
say that this action ON the part of
the democrats controlled by Hill,
will have exactly the opposite effect
expected by the friends of Judge
Parker. They claim that this is the
tail wagging the dog. In other
words, the upstate end of the demo-
cratic party in the state of New
York, which is utterly powerless in
an election, that end of the state
always giving an overwhelming re.
publican majority, has dictated to
the only democratic end of the state. |
the city of New York and it's en-
virons. The delegates from Greater
New York simply asked to be al
lowed to go to the convention unin-
structed and to be allowed to make
the best nomination in the interest
OF the party which the exigencies of |
the situation at that time demanded. |
They claimed that there are many |
things that can happen between now
and the 9Th OF next July, and thai,
the hands of the great New York
democracy should not be tied when |
the country needs it to put the eter.
nal kibosh on the republican party |
and the criminal trusts and d'the pre-
datory wealth Of the country that is
now debating the legislation OF the
country, state, and national.
The appeals of the New York city |
democracy we're unsvailing, and the
Hill-controlled delegates of the re. |
publican end Of the state walked |
over them rough-shod and manacled |
them to one candidate, and that can
didate, undoubtedly a good man
and clean man, but one who is
endorsed by August Belmont, Gro
yer Cleveland and David B. Hill
and the entire gang who left the
democratic party in its hour OF need.
A man who says nothing himself,
but is endorsed by such men a.
those named above, certainly mus.

have given to them his confidence
and his position on the questions
agitating the people Of tho country
evidently suits them down to the
ground. II they do 90, then they
should not suit the great mass Of
the common people Of the country,
for those men represent all there is
to the rapaoity of riches and the
lust for loot among the criminal
trusts and the special privilege grab
bers OF this great country. 1t is the
consensus Of opinion here among
the leading western and southern
democrats that il Judge Parker is
defeated for the nomination he may
attribute it to the company he keeps,
for they utterly repudiate the kind
of democracy for which Hill, Bel
mont, and Cleveland stand, and
look upon their activity in demo-
cratic politics at this time ~ an
attempt to republicanizs the demo-
cratic party, and they say there 10
not room in this country for two
republican parties and will have
none of it in theirs.
Another thing that has caused un.
favorable comment In connection
with that New York state conven.
tion is the platform adopted as the
expression OF democratic faith and
an enanoiation of democratic prin.
ciples. 1t ID tho very kind of a
platform shat might have been ex-
pected from convention controlled
by the Hills and Belmonts OF New
York politics. Itis good platform
tor the democratic platform to stand
on if it's purpose 10 to avoid giving
cause for alarm to the intrenched
special interests which now have
possession Of ths Federal govern
ment. But as . message from the
democratic party Of the state OF New
fork to the democratic party Of the
nation, II Is sn absurdity. 1t was
al effort to present declaration of
principles which should avoid the
calamity Of offending the trusts and
it was a distinct success. 1t will
fool NO man who knows what true
democracy means and what it stands
for. The so-called democratic con-
vention in the state OF New York
will, in the opinion Of some Of the
shrew dest members OF the democrat
10 party in this city, react against
the candidacy Of Judge Parker and
rebound to the benefit OF the man
whose position on every public qaes-
ton 10 as easily found 40 the Rocky
Mountains In Colorado, who is
democrat because be believes in the
people aud the Cause Of the people,
the Hon. William Randolph Hearst.
