Speaking OF the recent Democratic
convention and its work the Hartford
Herald says:

Herald says:
Let IL be remembered that the dominat-
ing idea and aim OF tho Democratic Ma
tlonal Platform il the defeat OF Roose-
welt.
There you have it clearly stated.
The greed for Office, so says the Her
aid, is the dominating factor in the
party that enunciated the St. Louis
pla form. Principles have been cast
aside. Former party leaders have been
sent to the rear aud the great
Democratic party comes before the
people in 1904 practically repudist-
ing it's platforms OF 1896 and 1900.
The financial issue-tree silver-"16
to / or bust" is no longer a question
for the voter. The defeat of Roose-
welt is the dominating idea and aim
Of Democracy. And why defeat
Roosevelt? Is it because the policies
of his administrator are obi e ctiona-
be? 1t cannot be that. for the most

JUDGE PARKER, the Democratic
candidate for President, was so un-
certain in his financial views in 1896
and 1900 that he voted for Bryan and
free silver, and he was so silent in
1904 that the most astute had never
express himself on the money ques'
ton.
1t was not until twenty-four hours
after the proposed gold plank i'll the
St. Louis platform had been abandon
ed and after the Presidential nomina-
ton had been nailed down "hard and
fast that Parker made up his mind
to let the party know where he stood
on the money question.
If Judge Parker was sensitive
about accepting a nomination un-
der false pretenses, why did he not
give his great and good friend Hill at
least an inkling of his views before
the convention had made its choice
and while there was yet chance to
nominate some one more in harmony
with he strsddling platform adopted?

THE Republican party seeks Il

ard, the main issue in two campaigns
which resulted in as many Republican
victories, has been firmly and irrevo-
cably established and is no longer an
issue, so says the nominee of your
convention. So if all the facts and
circumstances connected with Dem
ocratic affairs for the past ten years
be considered, we think it will be
easy for any fairminded person to
agree with us and with our esteemed
contemporary, the Herald, that Dem
ocracy's dominating ideas and aim
is to get the offices; let principles be
trailed in the dust if it needs be.

GRANTS AFFIDAVIT
A HARD BLOW TO DENNISON

Des Moines, July 8. ~ Up at the gov
ernor's office on Capitol Hill is a bit of
evidence that removes the last ray Of
hope for Tom Dennison in his fight
against extradition What is more in
teresting, Dennison is the author Of
his own undoing His entire case be-
fore the Omaha judges has hinged up
on his ability to establish an alibi and
show that he was not in Iowa during
the two or three weeks following the
Pollock robbery and could not, there
fore have gone to California Junction
and dug up the diamonds from the spot
where Shercliffe buried them. He fur
nished the testimony of more than a
score of Omaha policemen and detec-
tives to show that they had shadowed
him night and day for three weeks fol
lowing the robbery and could swear
positively that he had not been out of
Omaha Slowly but surely the state
showed the falsity of this evidence,
the principal rebuttal testimony con-
sisting of hotel register from Daven-
port, containing Dennison's signature.
Dennison vigorously denied that the
signature was his. 1t appeared immed-
lately below that Of P. Grant
Patsey Grants Affidavit.
Now comes the discovery in the gov
ernor's office. Among the papers filed
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier., 1904-07-09

in the Shercliffe case Is an affidavit
prepared by John NJ Baldwin of Coun-
Gil Bluffs, signed by Patsey Grant, in
which the latter swears that on No
vember 8, or 8, 1892, he and Dennison
went to Davenport to purchase a
gambling house. This affidavit was filed
six years ago and was for the purpose
of assisting to obtain Shercliffes par.
ole. Dennison had employed Mr.. Bald.
win, the well known attorney and poll.
tician of Council Bluffs, to assist in
obtaining the parole.
This testimony was forwarded to
Omaha yesterday, but was placed in
the hands of the states attorneys too
late to be used in the proceedings
there. 1t will be used in the supreme
court of Nebraska and Of the United
States against Dennison unless the lat.
ter realizes the futility Of further re.
sistance and voluntarily surrenders to
Iowa authorities.
Dennison's attorneys argued their
motion for new trial before the three
district judges who, have tried their
case at Omaha. The judges turned Il
down and insisted that there had beer
no errors in their proceedings
Dennison then asked six month.
in which to complete his appeal to the
supreme court. The judges granted
him but thirty days.

SERIOUS FLOOD CONDITIONS
At AND NEAR KANSAS CITY

Kansas City. Mo-, July 8--All Of the
west bottoms on the Missouri side Of
the Kaw river, including the Union
depot and great wholesale district of
Kansas City will be covered by
water before the day is closed.
"a break which occurred in the Kaw
rivers banks near Armourdale, Kan
sas, last night is sending current of
water into the bottoms.
Serious Damage Feared.
The water rose slowly and while it
undoubtedly will do great damage it
is not believed that the tremendous
losses of last year will be duplicated.
This morning heavy rainstorm was
in progress at Kansas City and as far
west as Topeka, which will send the
Kaw still higher.
Sun Banishes Rain.
Kansas City, Mo-, July Sat 10
o'clock this morning the sun came out
here and west as far as Topeka the
rain ceased. The rivers at Abilene
and Manhattan, where the rain con-
tinues, are rising.
At 80 o'clock this morning the
water still continued to rise but more
slowly. 1t had not yet reached the
Union depot, where every caution has
been taken to protect movable prop
erty. Several railroad bridges were
damaged severely during the night, but
all are still intact and it is believed
that they will be saved.

Gratis have arrived and discouraged the

Waverly, a strong anti-H earst man.
Il do not believe in the compromise
proposed or any other" said Mr.. Mil
Ter. 1T seems to me that the Parker
men in Iowa would be foolish to COM
promise with Hearst men when down
here in ST. Louis the Parker forces are
certain to win an overwhelming VIC
tory. We have only to await devel-
opments and we in Iowa will win an
other Parker victory
Mr.. Miller expressed growing sen.
timent among Iowa men in st. Louis

here will knock the props from under
the Hearst machine in Iowa and thai
victory at Iowa City will be easy.

ST. Louis Iii

St. Louis, July 8.
Yesterdays test vote on seating the
Illinois delegation which completely
routed the Hearst and Bryan forces
leaves no doubt as to the outcome of
this convention and makes certain
Parker's nomination as foretold in
these dispatches two days ago that the
conservative element of the party is in
absolute control but would not rub it
in" on the Bryan faction, but would
rather adopt conciliatory platform on
which both factions could be united.
This was borne out at the morning ses-
sion of the convention when the COM
mittee appointed to call on the resolu-
,ttons committee and find how soon it
would be ready to report, came back to
the convention and reported that the
resolutions committee would not be
ready to report until o'clock tonight
and at that time would bring in un-
animous report signed by every mem
Der Of the committee, including New
York and Nebraska and platform on
which every democrat could stand.
Nominations Tonight or Tomorrow.
The convention then adjourned until
8 o'clock tonight and the nominations
will not be made till tonight or tomor-
row.
Fight in Resolutions Committee.
The resolutions committee has been
in continuous session all night and
have had big fight over the proposed
gold plank by Hill Of New York, which
was defeated in committee only after
Bryan conceded that he would consent
to ignoring the Kansas City platform,
which was the only reason this plank
was proposed. The income tax plank
also was tabled by the committee.
Nothing new has developed in the
vice presidential situation There are
plenty of candidates but none has
gained much strength.

BRYANs UTTER DEFEAT.
Eight Years After His Memorable
Speech He Meets His Waterloo.

st. Louis, Mo-. July 8. - Just eight
years to day after he made his me-
morable Grown of thorns and cross Of
gold" speech in the convention at Chi
cago, which won for him the nomina-
tion for the presidency, William Jen-
nings Bryan was fatty turned down in
the democratic national convention
late yesterday afternoon by an over
whelming vote of more than two to
one and after an extraordinary sue
cessful effort on his part to stampede
the convention.
He had the galleries with him, he
had even more than fair chance. so
far as the merits of the Illinois case
on which the test was taken went, and
yet the convention repudiated his min
ority report by vote of 647 to 299.
Shows Strength of Parker.
This is admitted on all sides to be
final test of the strength of the Par
ker movement. Practically all the
Hearst men voted with Bryan to unseat
Hopkins and Gable and the anti-Har-
rison delegates in Illinois and yet
Hearst-Bryan combination was only
able to poll much less than one-third
of the convention.
Repudiated in Committee.
To complete the dethronement of
Bryan and still further to mark the re-
turn of the democracy to it's old lines,
the subcommittee on the platform,
afteE listening to powerful argument
by Bryan, in which he advocated a re-
affirmation of the Kansas City plat
form, turned him down as completely
as the convention had done. He had
only third of the subcommittee as
we'll and the plank which was agreed
upon is as far as possible from a reaf-
firmation of the 16 to theory, which is
so linked with Bryan's name The f.
nancial plank, as reported to the full
committee Is in substance
declaration that the product of gold in
the Klondike, South Africa, and else
where has settled the question of a
monetary standard in the country and
removed it from the field of politics"
Bryan's Old State Deserts Him.
Every man on the floor of the con.
ivention was thrilled to the utmost to
see the states which once so solidly
backed up Bryan all recording them
selves on the conservative side.
The actual merits of the Illinois
case seemed to cut but little ice with
the delegates. All they. knew or cared
to know was that the committee on
credentials, following the lead of the
national committee, decided that John
P. Hopkins and Ben T. Cable were
duly elected delegates at large from
the state of Illinois and that the dis.
trict delegates seated by the national
committee were, with single excep-
ton, entitled to their seats.
