When matters in the postal department

When the people of the State Of New

When his party nominated him to
stand on platform of gold he did not
| Wobble on one of silver with gold trim
mings of his own as his opponent, Mr..
| Parker. A man said to me a few days
| ago that Judge Parker had clean re-
/ cord and only for this expression |
might never have knowR what some
men call cleanliness. Judge Parker
was rocked ia a so called Democrat era

not work with old republican dad, 50
! Mr.. Parker Topped over, and if he had

| W. j. Bryan took charge of the iufanC
and soon found 1t was in poor health and
finally died on his hands. He WIS like
the man that had the wolf by the ears,
afraid to hold 1t and afraid to turn it
loose, and tried very hard to rosurrect
] it in 1904, poor thing.
MI. Parker cuntri buted next to the
largest sum of money to the Bryan cam
gAan fund. He then voted twice for
Buan and ne is now found on che gold
standard platform, and how he has cvcl
been n one place long enough to estdh-
l~u any record Is something | don't IN
dcrstana, However / may take q DIFF.
ferrnt view OF what it takes to estab-
li~h OF cieanneSs and it may take all
this and more of tue same sort to come
uyIu the standard OF clean record but
IL dan'J look that way to yours truly.
If Parker's record was 50 clean WHY
didn't be show up at the st. Louis con
venuon. Why, my dear Sir, he knew
there would be some good democrat Is
there who would ask him some cues
tiODs Of IN embarrassing nature about
the cause Of his trying to be in the mid
die of the road and on both sides at the
same time
Hearst was said to be revolutionary
and it is possible he may be. However
be is q man of some hrmness He has
never been anything but democrat,
ana If tue New York World is correct
in its figures of one million and four
hundred thousand dollars spent bv
Hearst to secure his nomination, i,
looks like he was headstrong enough &c
be- called anything. II these figures
are correct and Hearst only got l5l
votes, ne paid SO, SS3 for each vote he re-
ceived.
The New York World seems to have
some doubts about that amount BEING
spent at all, They are inclined to tht
opinion that there is a considerable a.
mount that was not spent and II this be
true as soon as the election is over anG
and the smoke of the political battle
blows over, Hearst viii, in all probabil
ity try TO find out where all this none,
went 10.
When Bryan arrived at st. Louis br
expressed himself as being uncompro
m.singly opposed to the gold stand ard
and held out that way until be was in
formed by Dave Hill that he was on Tn,
wrong side the table to get pie, tina
there was no chance FOR Hearst, and /
be Bryan failed to make fair weatbe
with Parker bis free silver platforr
would be left without leg TO stand on
lie then agreed 70 support Parker. bu
said 10 went against the grain.
