Told Mt Reception at New York Re-
publican Club to state Candidates.
1t seems hard lines to say that the
Democratic brother Is not competent to
conduct the business of this great state
and ought not to be instrusted with
these larger responsibilities which come
with the construction of the barge ca
nal, but | can tell you the reason why.
We all wondered during the Spanish
American war why 1t was that when
the feet at Santiago was about equal
to ours it was sunk in twenty minutes,
while ours received only one shot, and
we all wondered that while the fleet ut
Manila was about equal to ours Ii was
sunk In nineteen minutes and we re-
ceived no shot.
People all over the world could not
Washington had difficulty In finding
out how 1t could have occurred. But
coming on from Washington at the
close of the last great victory | had as
my fellow companion that delightful
wit and most charming man and ae-
tor. old Joe Jefferson. and l said to
him:
II have been In Washington, and the
naval experts cannot tell why 1t Is that
Cerveras y fleet should hive been lost In
twenty minutes and not shot hit our
fleet. and the same thing happened at
Manila bay"
Aud Mr.. Jefferson said to me, "As
an actor of fifty years experience l
can tell you-the Spaniards had not re-
hearsed."
The trouble with our Democratic
brethren IN that In the forty -four years
since the war, having been in power
only four years and in our state not
having seen power for the last ten
years. they have not rehearsed. ZAP

not one upon which the people of the
state of New York will lift the cur

which they abandoned. They resent
the fact that some one else should try
to do that which they were not willing
to try TO do.
Parker's Trust Advisers.
"They went to ST. Louis with princi-
pies; they came back without them.
They were clay In the hands OF the
Pat McCarrens OF Standard Oil, Bel
mont of the Louisville and Nashville
and German of the sugar trust. The
very first speech Of the campaign was
made in Brooklyn by Senator Bailey
pf Texas under the auspices of the
Standard Oil company lobbyist. Pat
McCarTen. The chosen advisers of Mr..
Parker are the men who led for the
trusts and corporations when the tax
payers were looted during Cleveland's
second administration. From German,
who reeks with the foulest trust legis-
lation for twenty years, to Carlisle.
who wrote the sugar schedule ut the
dictation Of the sugar trust, and Bel
mont OF the secret midnight bond deal
down to Olney, who, In effect advised
the too willing Cleveland to lend the
United States army to the Pullman
Palace Car company in Chicago, the
notorious old band of boodlers are
there
Every line of the platform seems TO
be In trcmble lest 1t should displease
the beneficiaries of class legislation.
Every tone of its quaking voice seems
to say to the corporations, Don't be
afraid; | won't hurt YOU. With the
anxious fear of Snug, the Joiner, In
Midsummer Nights DAam,' the ap-
parent lion kindly dissipates the fear
of his audience by assuring them In
advance that Its roar Is only for stage

Lincoln ON Colonization and Expe-
diency.
tFrom the New York Sun.l
II the Hon. Edward NJ. Shepard or
any other Democratic orator is really
anxious to measure by 'the acts or ut
terances" of Abraham Lincoln the Re
publican policy with regard to the ac-
QUESTION of foreign territory, said
orator will find in the annual message
Of Dec. 3, 1861, Mr.. Lincoln's opinion
on the subject, briefly but clearly
stated:
Having practiced the acquisition of
territory for nearly sixty years. the
question of constitutional power to do
SO is no longer an open one Win us"
Mr.. Lincoln was not referr.ns to the
acquisition Of adjoining territory with
view TO its ultimate erection into
statehood. He was discussing a plan
OF colonization for the benefit of both
the free colored people already In the
United States and the slave who might
be liberated "at some place OIL. places in
climate congenial to them He
said further:
ITO carry out the plans of coloniza-
tion may involve the acquiring of ter
ritory. and also the appropriation of
money beyond that to be expended in
the territorial acquisition. On
this whole proposition, including the
appropriation of money with the ac-
QUESTION of territory, does not the ex-
pedieney amount to absolute necessity
that without which the government
itself cannot be perpetuatedY"
How Lincoln would have been de-
nounced for his ideas of colonization
and expediency as the supreme law If
some of the orators now devoting their
attention to Mckinley, Roosevelt, Hay
and Root had been vocal forty-five
years ago!
