We hear no more of any action being
pushed.
The American people. are not so OBJ
fuse that they cannot understand these
things. They know the need that was
felt by the Republicans early in the
campaign of substantial support. They
know that it has been obtained. They
see the real trusts lined up behind the
administration. And they see, lying in
operative and ineffective and unem-
ployed, the weapon that the adminis-
tration sought to forge. What conclu-
sion but one can they draw? To hold
a terror in suspense and let it fall or
ward away the blow according as the
threatened one obeys or follows your
will is the essence of graft" Ethically
it matters nothing whether the con-
sideration be personal or political, be
favor or cash. The transaction is the
same. Before the emergency of this
campaign the administration has sign
ed away it's manhood and its honor.
Let those who believe in the good faith
of the men behind it look the facts
daringly and honestly in the face and
explain them otherwise if, they can.
Before heaven and the great jury of
our people we believe and we declare
that they must find the Republican
party and its leaders guilty"

Contemporary Comment
Challenges Republicans

1t Parker's letter. is positive, can
did and coura geous. 1t has been as
serted by the opposition that his ac-
ceptance speech was lacking in these
respects; that it resembles judicial
deliverance, a decision, or dissenting
opinion from the bench. too closely to
serve as a campaign rallying call. But
they will make no such criticism on
this effort. It will put some animation
and vigor. into this hitherto incom-
parably dull campaign by enthusing
the Democracy not less than by chal-
longing the Republicans to fresh as
saults on the Democratic lines. No
deiverance that has marked the prog
ress of the canvass has commanded
more prompt and interested attention
than will be accorded to this virile let
ter, and if activity does not displace
Indifference, if excitement does not
supplant the unusual calmness of the
scene, no part of the responsibility will
be chargeable to the Democratic can
didate--Washingto Post

from Brooklyn tells a good story on him
self. During his vacation this summer he
was suddenly seized during the night with
a severe pain in the side. He is extremely
nervous, but, withal brave. His groans
awakened his wife, who tremblingly asked:
why, dear whatever is the matter?'
''Oh, 1 have terrible pain in my side"
