NEW SWIMMING RECORDS.
Daniels Deprived of Fresh Figures on
Account of Lack Of Timers.

Two new American record performances
marked the close of the Olympic swimming
championships at st. Louis yesterday, the
record breakers being Rausch of Germany
and Daniels of the New York A. c., but
owing to the failure of the officials TO pro-
vide three timers for the 440-yard swim.
only two watches caught Daniels time. SO
that he is deprived of record. The New
York A. c. made another clean team sweep
winning first honors with 40 points, with
Germany second with 33; Hungary third.
with II. and the Olympic A. A. of San
Francisco fourth, with 16 points. The Chi
cago IA. scored points; Missouri A. c..
g: Mugge Institute st. Louis. 5, and Phil
adeiphia Swimming Club and Chicago Cen
trail Y. M. c. A. tied with points each for
last place.
The surprise Of the day was the defeat
OF the German swimmers in the diving con-
test. DR.. Sheldon saved the honor for
america taking first place. Sheldon was
justly entitled to first honors. as every one
OF MS dives was clean. On the other hand.
the German swimmers struck the water
with their breasts and one swimmer. Heff-
man, IN two dives, landed on his face. AL
though Hoffman won second honors, there
were those present who thought that Kehoe

Under Suspicion.

The judges at Charter Oak Park. Hart
ford, became suspicious of the driving OF
Mcpherson behind Angus Pointer In the
first race yesterday afternoon, and warned
him after the first heat that he must drive
his horse to win. Again, In the second
heat, Mcpherson did no better than second
place. and when the horses came out Tor
the third heat Mcpherson was removed
from the sulky and Andrews was put up be-
hind Pointer. The horse took the next three
heats and the race. the fourth in 2.06, re-
markable time for a fourth heat. The
judges will make an investigation to find
what interest, If any, Mcpherson had in
the pool box.
Fereno was favorite in the 206 trot, but
he took only one of the three heats. A
break lost him the first. and he and Cas-
plan sprinted home nearly together in the
two others. Don Carr, the fayorite in the

Refers to Republican Platform.

L shall not take up your time. however,
with any reference to the great issues upon
which our party. through it's platform and
candidates confidently appeal to the people
for Endorsement, but crave your indulgence
while briefly refer to a single feature of
the platform of the republican party.
That platform opens with declaration
of that party's many years of control of
the government coupled with the assertion
that it has displayed a high capacity for
rule and government, which has been made
ever more conspicuous by the incapacity
and infirmity of purpose shown by it's op-
ponents.
This challenge to a comparison of dem
ocratic and republican administrations
since the republican party came into ex-
tstence should be welcomed. Fortunately
we have eight recent years of democratic
administration of the executive department
of the government which we will gladly
compare with any similar period since 1860.
1.-The comparison will show that under
democratic control the administrative pur-
ity of the fathers was observed in the con-
duct of the government. that no one of its
departments was permeated as of late with
corruption riyaling the days of the star
route frauds, that a successful effort was
made to check the growth of expenditures,
that it resulted in each instance in cutting
down the expenses within the control OF
the executive department of the govern
ment below that of the preceding admins

Reliance in the People.

1.-THE great tribunal of the American peo-
pie may be implicitly relied on to decide all
questions with unerring and exact justice
when all the evidence is in and delbera-
ton had, and those who would hold place
as leaders Of the people must be SO thor
oughly American, 50 discreet, 80 farsighted
and so sure of the pulse of the people as to
discern the course public opinion Will take.
Though the instant Judgment of the peo-
pie may be often at fault, the ripe and
final decision Is always for the right. And
the part of leadership is to know the right
and to honestly. periodically, fearlessly and
zealously advocate 1t.
*Just as long as the press can discern and
lead the unhurrfed and well-consdered
judgment of the people, so long will its
power grow nightly. and so long will 1t
hold It's place in the front rank of the I'M
faltering and vigorous march of national
PROCESS. To the upbuilding of the power
Of the press and to the best use of that
power you have devoted yourself. There
are questions of great import to be passed
upon by the people in November. questions
that it will be your duty, and therefore. 1
am sure, your pleasure, as well. to present
honestly and SO clearly that the people will
understand them.

Parker received the delegation Of demo-
cratic newspaper editors at Rosemount to-
day. He addressed them as follows:
1T is indeed great pleasure to welcome
to Rosemount this body of representatives
of the great American press, one of the
mighty forces In the upbuilding and
Strengthening Of sturdy American citi-
zenship. You have been In conference to
the end that your work in this campaign
may be as effective as possible Organized
effort and concerted action must always
increase the effectiveness of the common
endeavor of many hands.
1.-THE leaders who have made thorough
fare through history down which in all the
centuries their fame will march with giant
strides have all been men who, though un-
moved by hasty expression of the hurried
judgment of the people, were yet guided in
all their public tcts by the knowledge of
what the deliberate and mature Judgment
of the people would be. So the great pa
perS are those which anticipate the careful
Judgment of the majority
