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

1t appears that Judge Parker of
Esopus is going to 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-
ton 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 judge
should be is shivered into splinters. Two
years ago the country knew nothing of
Judge Alton Il. Parker of New York,
and little of Henry Gassaway Davis of
West Virginia, two men picked up, for
n 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 n 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
eminent 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, 1.-THE greatest good for the
greatest number" and who, above all,
seems incompetent for the best manage
ment of the United States
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1904-09-29
RAILWAY MANS VIEWS.
Country Is Prosperous, and Roosevelt
Will BE Elected.

z. II. Hartman. one of the best in
formed railway officials in the country,
says 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 we'll as the large ones are
we'll supplied with funds, and this fact
insures careful investment and mini
mics 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 enc can af-
ford to change"

CONVENTION OF CLUBS.
Low Rate of Fare Secured by LeaHuers
for indianapolis Meeting.

At the request of the officers of the
National Republican League, who are
working up interest in the convention of
Republican Clubs Mt Indianapolis, Oct.
8 and q, the Central Passenger Associa-
ton has conceded a rate from all points
in the territory Of the association of one
fare plus % cents for the round trip.
The selling dates are Oct. 4, 5 and 6 and
the return limit Oct. o, thus enabling n
visit to st. 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 vigor and
that an attendance of Mt 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 ut once.
The League men are especially pleased
with the low rates of fare secured, and
anticipate large audiences to hear Secre-
taries Shaw and Taft aud Senators Fair
banks and Bevcridge, and Hon. George
a. Knight of California.

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

John B. Stanchfield, one of the leaders
of the New York Democracy, said in a
speech at Schenectady:
They (the Democrats) do not stand on
their past, but they present n live inter
probation of live issues"
Truly, the Democratic party does not
stand on its past. 1t darcs 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 the
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 laundering OPP
position of which its history is a 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.
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1904-09-29
SUGGESTIONS TO DEMOCRATS
Great Thoughts of Great Democrats
Should BE Widely Circulated.

The Democratic party is boasting of
the fact that in this campaign it is
sending out 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 matter of fairness in speaking OF
people who vote the Democratic ticket,
that quite number of them can read.
However, this is merely suggestion
to the men whose business it is to handle
the Democratic campaign of education.
To 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 recent speech
that the President advocated lynching
as n punishment for stealing.
They should issue 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 the
objector from ear to ear.
There is an old saying that lie we'll
| stuck to is as good as the truth. 1t
| is not sound proposition, but there is
| in it suggestion as to what the Demo
| Gratis might do with their money in cir
| culating 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.

The Issue in a syllogi.tic Nutshell.

In one crisp sentence of eight words
OF his letter of acceptance President
Roosevelt has given the first premise for
conclusive syllogism:
First Premise-"A PARTY FIT TO
GOVERN MUST HAVE CONVIC-
TONS"
Second Premise-The Democratic
party from Judge Parker down to Tom
Taggart has no convictions.
CONCLUSION-Therefore the Demo-
cratic party is not fit to govern.
And there you have the process of
reasoning that will decide this election.
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1904-09-29
CATHOLIC PAPER BOLTS
Sunday Democrat, of New York, Pre-
fcrs Roosevelt to Parker.

The Sunday Democrat of New York,
one of the oldest Irish-Amercan and
Catholic journals of the United States,
has declared for Roosevelt 1t says edi-
torially:
For more than thirty years, in political
storm and sunshine, the Sunday Democrat
has supported the Democratic party, advo-
Gated Its principles and sustained Its can
didatcs. During all that period 1t has
rendered valuable service to the party.
To-day, believing that courage to carry
out the constitution and laws OF this coun-
be realized and appreciated, and feeling
confident from his actions In the past that
the interests of our people will be best
served by his election, this journal has
concluded to lend its support to Theodore
Roosevelt for President of the United
States -
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1904-09-29
Democrats mire Rooseyelt.

Radical Democratic newspapers are
forced to admit that President Roose-
vet's letter of acceptance is a strenuous
presentation of the issues from Repub-
lcan 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
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.

The Party for Young Men.

Edward Hoch, Republican nominee for
Governor of Kansas, in an address at
Marion, in that State, said:
But now these vociferous gentlemen
have suddenly discovered that the gold
standard is all right, and their candi-
date for President blandly announces
that that question is 'irrevocably set
tied. Young men should join a party
that espouses good principles and poll
cies at the beginning, and not a party
that opposes every good thing until it is
'irrevocably settled against it, and then
tags along with a belated approval of all
that it had stubbornly opposed"

PARkER'S DEFICIT SCARE.
1t Is Easily 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 toling over his
empty sentences,
Ellis cogitatlve faculties immersed
In cogibundity Of cogtatlon,"
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 deficit at
all, when it comes to realities. The Re
publicans delghtedly accept the chal-
lenge of the Democratic candidate for it
gives them a chance to show few sta
tistcs themselves.
Judge Parker asserts" says a Wash
ington dispatch to the ehicago Chron-
icle, that there is now a deficit of $40,
100000, instead of surplus Of $S0,0O0,-
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 $40,O00,OOO in round numbers, but
during that time the United States paid
S50,0OO00O for n Panama canal and adj
vanced $4,500O0O 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 $42OO0,000 from the $54,5OO, 900
paid for the purchase of the Panama
canal and the encouragement of an ex-
position of worldwide scope and impor-
lance, he would find balance of $12,-

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 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-
publican wave of prosperity.

Rear Guard Action.

Already in the presidential campaign
of this year the Democrats are fighting
"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-
ton" appears to be about over

THE 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 plutocratic odor can be found;
But the public still suspects there's
something doing
In the subway 70 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 limelght 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 each plum in
the pie.
"Yes, it is triae lonesome, this seclu-
son,"
Says August, "but you bet the plan is
sound.
For Dave and amt longin' to be hoo
docs"
Then they hit the trail for Rosemount
under ground.
