THE VENERABLE Mr.. pLArr

| Thomas c.. Platt,. of New York, the
same aged party who thought he had
accomplished one of the greatest works
| of his life when he pitchforked Theo-
dore Roosevelt onto the vice presi-
Dental shelf four years ago, is now of
>the opinion-or says he is, which
amounts to the same-that Col. Reose-
welt will beat Judge Parker even as
| Grant beatyGreeley. Platt was seven
ty-one- years-old- the day he made the
| statement-qufte old enough to know
better. He does know better. He
knows that he has very little chance OF
| retaining his hold as one of the bosses
| of the majority machine in New York.
He is very firmly convinced that Par
ker is going to carry the Empire state
| against Roosevelt-and he is not GO
+! ing to weep any senile tears when the
fact transpires. The prophecy was in
dulged TO give inspiration to the ma
| chine men, to induce them to look
after the state organization and the
legislature. incidentally he announced
| the principle upon which the cam
paign is to be. conducted,
| Plat accuses Judge Parker of hav-
| Ing conspired to secure the nomina-
| ton on false pretenses. He takes the
position at first assumed by some of
4 the raI Of
! gans of the country after the conven-
| ton, and since abandoned by the more
respectable of the organs. He pre-
sumes upon the bigotry of the petty
leaders of the party of which he is an
ornament to carry on a campaign Of
vlllllcatlon. But it won't do. Tom
| Platt is in desperate case. He has
been compelled to- the seeming OF
supporting Roosevelt. He had to get
into line or get out of the organization
| With the administration backing him
Odell would have been strong enough
to depose the ancient altogether.
Platt got in out of the wet. He is not
now SO anxious for the election OF
Roosevelt as he is to maintain his ma
chine in some sort of repair.
| If Platt were not known as an nm
scrupulous politician, lacking in nrinei-
! pie as he is deficient in moral restraint
in political affairs. his charge that Judge
Parker seonspired with six OF seven
hundred delegates at st. Louis might
be worth disposing OF seriously. But
what Platt says cam have no weight
with the voters. of. the country. His
tortuous course in politics demon
| strates that he has no knowIedee Of
politieaf honor. 1t is not conceivable
| to man like Plat than an asnirant
for Office would take chance ON miss
ing his aim by taking the public into
his confidence. 1t would be utterly
impossible for man like-P Plat to con-
ceiVe of the high motives which In
spired Judge Parker to make his posi-
ton known at the risk of losing a
presidential nomination According to
his lights all men are base.
If Plat has his way and the cam
paign in New York is managed ac-
cording to his IDEAS. Judge Parker
ought to go Gown TO Harlem river

The Outlook

The Democrats prospects of carry
ing New York may be conceded to be
bright, and the records show that the
same means which in a given cam
pa1gn prove effective also in carrying
a number of other states in it's vicinity,
SO their prospects of carrying the ceun-
Try are bright in the same proportion
In which they are bright for carrying
the home state of both candidates
Nothing is to be gained by concealing
the true state of affairs. The Repub-
lfcans have a long, arduous campaign
cut out for them.-Detroit Journal

a Rich Candidate

Republicans are Mortified that the
sord1d Democrats nominated very
rlch man for vice president. They had
already nominated a man reputea to
be worth $9,000,OO8. and fiattered them
selves that they had done pretty slick
thing But when the Democrats NOM
mated a man in comparison with whose
barrel Fairbanks barrel looks like a
tomato can, they become censerious
about the nomination of very rich men.
Happily, there are lots of reasons for
nominating Henry G. Davis besides his
fortune.-PhiladeIph Record.

st. Petersburg, July 5. The latest
dispatches from the seat Of war are To-
the effect that General Kuropatkin IS
still at Tatchekiao ard that the Japa-
nese forces are stationary at Senuchen

but they are maintaining their advance
from Fengwangcheng over the direct
main roads to Liaoyang, where the eff

There are only twelve miles between
General Count KelIers force and the
Japanese army, and a collision between
them is not regarded as unlikely. The
japanese evidently are hoping in case
of success to compel Kuropatlzin, with
General Stakelberg's corps, to fall back
from Tatchekiao on Liaoyang and thus
force an evacuation Of Newchwang.

WITHa good many people the Fourth
of July, 1904, will be remembered as a
day in which they succeeded in maxi
ing themselves as near barbarians as it
is possible for civilized men to bel
come under the guise Of enjoying
themselves. The diabolical inventions
for making noises We're up to the full
limit Of the ingenuity Of man, and il
they had been properly used would
have been bad enough. But when
grown men would explode dynamite
caps under the feet of unsuspecting
persons and almost deafen them it was
beyond the verge of reason, and it was
still worse when they found nervous
persons and deliberately followed them
UP in order to torture them, or as was
frequently the case inyalids in the priI
yacy Of their homes were purposely
annoyed by these funny (" persons
there was certainly no excuse. These
persons doubtless Thought they were
celebrating the day, but when it came
to attending the public services and
add to their limited knowledge of what
the day really means they were con-
spicuous by their absence, So far as
the band music was concerned no one
could enjoy it and that part of the OBJ!
servance Of the day was a great dis
appointment to many. Some measures
should have been taken by the author
titles to keep the noise-makers away
from the band stand, as is done in
other towns where band concerts are
given.

THERE is every indication that the
coming Democratic convention will
be one of the most notable in the
history Of the country. There are
10000 seats in the Coliseum, where
the convention is to meet, and local
committees have already received and
filed over $4,000 requests for seats.
This is only the beginning Of the
flood Of applications, for when the
delegates arrive probably every one
of the thousand will have from ten
to one hundred requests to make for
seats. Most Of the applicants up to
date have asked for tickets admitting
them to every session, although d
few would be content with tickets
good on the day when nominations
are to be made. There are, according
to the best estimate 10000 persons lib
st. Louis today whose homes are i1
other countries, and almost without
exception these persons have made
applications for seats, saying that
they regard this convention as the
best opportunity that they will ever
have to study the political customs
OF American parties.
