PARKER'S DEFICIT SCARE.
1t 10 Easi1y 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.
Ills cogitative faculties immersed
In cogibundity of cogitation,'
his aptitude for figures went on a vaca-
ton 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 a deficit at
all, when it comes to realities. The Re-
publicans delightedly accept the chal-
(enge Of the Democratic candidate. for it
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 S42.-
100000, instead of a surplus of $4,000
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 In apparent deficit
of $4O,OO0,O0O in round numbers, but
during that time the United States paid
$5O,OOO,0OO for a Panama canal and adj
vanced $4.50O.OO0 to the Louisiana pur-
chase exposition, which latter amount is
to be returned to the government. If
Mr.. Parker will deduct his apparent def
cit of $40. 600 from the $54, 500. 600
paid for the purchase Of the Panama
canal and the encouragement Of an ex-
position of worldwide scope and impor-
lance, he would find a balance of S12.-
100000 and upward on the other side Of
the ledger"

Democrats Ad mire RoOoe Welt.

Radical Democratic newspapers are
forced to admit that President Roose-
yclt's letter of acceptance is a strenuous
presentation of the issues from a Repub-
lean standpoint. Even the New York
World and Denver Times commend the
Presidents Keynote The fact is. there
is not Il Democrat in the land who does
not admire Mr.. Roosevelt's direct way of
going at things, and all would vote for
him 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.

A Rear Guard Action.

Already in the presidential campaign
of this year the Democrats are fighting
a 'rear-guard action" The Russian
Gen. Kuropatkin has his troubles and
has been fighting ~rear-guard actions for
some time, but his condition is good as
compared with the condition Of the pres
ent leaders of the Democratic party.
The Democracy is fighting a rear
guard action" and about the only trou-
BILE the Republicans have in the premises
is that there will not be fun enough in
the campaign. Even the "rear-guard ac-
ion" appears to be about over.

SUGGESTIONS TO DEMOCRATS
Great Thoughts of Great Democrats
Should BE Widely Circulated.

Should BE Widely Circulated.
The Democratic party is boasting OF
the fact that in this campaign it is
sending out a great number of tons Of
literature, though why literature should
be sent out by the Democratic party no
one can understand. Upon second
thought, though. it must be admitted,
AS a matter of fairness in speaking Of
people who vote the Democratic ticket,
that quite a number of them can read.
However, this is merely a suggestion
to the men whose business it is to handle
the Democratic campaign Of education.
10 be consistent they must keep up
the campaign lies. In their tons Of lit
erature they must first reiterate the
falsehood of Senator Bailey of Texas,
when he declared in a recent speech
that the President advocated lynching
as a punishment for stealing.
They should issue a few million
pamphlets advocating the attitude Of
~Democracy's great representative,
Champ Clark, in assuming that when
some one in the audience disagrees with
the speaker on the platform it is the
prerogative of the speaker, after his
speech is over, to cut the throat Of tho
obJector from ear to ear. 8,
There is an old saying that a lie we'll
stuck to is as good as the truth. 1t
is not a sound proposition, but there is
IN 1t a suggestion as to what the Demo-
Gratis might do with their money in cir
culatlng campaign literature.
1t is to be hoped that they will be
grateful for these suggestions, but the
chances are ten to one that they won't.

HI underground LINE.

Virtue reigns supreme to-day about
Esopus;
1t is purged Of all that jars the proper
mind.
The thing that's most conspicuous round
Esopus
Is the absence Of the peanut eating
kind;
And in all the air that circulates at Rose
mount
Not a plutocratic odor can b. found;
But the public still suspects there's
something doing
In the subway to EsOpus, under
ground.
In the cold and shady distance they're
remaining,
Willy Dave and wicked August all
alone.
Their base presence no more casts a dark
reflection
In the limelight that descends around
the throne:
For the candidates declared he never
knew them;
He repeats it while the white robed are
around;
Then he coyly turns one ear to earth and
listens
To instruction from the subway under
ground.
And August smiles serenely DER at
Davy,
And Dave looks back and winks the
other eye;
And all the while they keep right on ar
ranging
The place and style Of Zach plum in
the pie.
Yes, it is a trihe lonesome, this seclu-
sion.'
Says August, but you bet the plan is
sound.
For Dave and l amt longin' to be hoo
doos.'
Then they hit the trail for Rosemount
under ground.

Parkerites Alarmed.

There are a large number Of Bryan
Democrats in New York State, and
their present attitude is viewed with
alarm by the Sheehan or
ganization. 1t is said every follower OF
w. j. Bryan will vote the Populist Ma
tional ticket. The Populists have put
Z State ticket in the field, the first in
many years, and a Bryan Democrat has
been placed at it's head. The Parke critics
are charging Bryan with bad faith. as
sorting that the detection Of the BRYAN
Democrats will cost Parker at least 25.-
600 votes.

1t is now said the Parker gold tele-

Retail Merchants Busy.

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 prospecting, for they
depend largely on the working people for
custom. Democrats who are bowling
calamity and hard times should retire
to the Halls of Silence at Esopus and
immune themselves until the campaign
is over lest they be engulfed by the Re

Parker's Neighbors Against Hin,

Congressman George J. Smith of the
Twenty-fourth New Iork District, in
which is Judge Parker's home, told
President Roosevelt a few days ago
that he had made a tour Of the district
and found no Republicans who would
vote for Parker. If the Democratic
candidate gains no votes among his Re
publican %neighbors. he certainly should
gain non elsewhere. In other words,
IL his popularity is not sufficiently great
to draw votes from those he daily comes
in contact with, he need not expect to
secure the support of Republicans who
know him only by what he has said and
done.
