The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1904-08-11

mont as Wall street broker, bond
buyer or racing man. On the turf
and in Wall street his reputation is
| good-he plays the game according to
the rules.
| But the Democrats do not want such
man to be the adviser of their can
didate or in any way intimate with
| him. They would look forward with
apprehension to his influence in a
Democratic administration
Patrick H. McCarren-It is only
| necessary to mention his name in or
| der to arouse wonder at his being re-
ceived by the presidential candidate.
Another Trust Advocate.
Mr.. McCarren is another gambling
racetrack man, but Oh a lower stripe
than Belmont. In the legislature of
New York his role is VIGOROUSLY that
of trust advocate. He is universally
recognized at Albany as the spokes-
man and agent of the gas trust, the
sugar trust and other trust wanting
advice and assistance Certainly
| when Judge Parker knows this he will
not accept assistance or advice from
that source
Mr.. Lawson of Boston, a man of
large means and of intimate acquaint-
ance with public affairs, has declared
publicly that Mr. McCarren is on the
secret payroll of the Standard Oil
monopoly at salary of $4,000 year.
DIR Lawson quotes H. H. Rogers and
Rockefeller, the rulers of the Standard
Oil, as his authorizes for the state
ment. He has offered to donate $780,
900 to the national Democratic cam
paign fund if McCarren will prove
that he is not in the pay of the STAN
dard Oil company These facts are
of course unknown to Judge Parker.
They will unquestionably cause him
to drop McCarren from his list of con-
fidential advisers.
Cochran a Turncoat.
w. Bourke Cockran-Charges have
been made against this gentleman by
Harper's Weekly and backed up ener-
getically in the New York Herald re-
Gently by statement from George
Harvey, the editor and owner of Har-
per's Weekly. 1t is unnecessary to
go into these charges here, but Judge
Parker will probably want to investi-
gate them before including Mr. Cock
ran in the list of those whose advice
would be welcome to Democrats.
Mr.. Cochran has exercised his SOW
ereign right to be a turncoat in poll
tics. He has deniea that he was paid
$1,000 night to talk against the
Democratic party, and his denial must
be accepted.
There is no doubt, however, that
he did use such ability as he has
against the Democrats. There is no
doubt that six millions of Democrats
the six milnons who must elect Judge
Parker-consider Bourke Cochran and
those like him as traitors.
A Violent Superstition.
The American feels safe in say
ing, on behalf of Judge Parker, that
the characters of these three men
were unknown to him when they &C.
cupied so much of his time last Thurs
day. or that day obtruded themselves
upon lis society and took advantage
OF his courtesy to give the impression
that they are in his confidence
1t need hardly be said that no three
men in the United States would be
more dislike< by the Democratic party
ad advisers of their candidates than
would these men.
They represent the disgraceful bond
deal, the racetrack, the corrupting in
fiuence of the trusts, the traitor ele-
ment in the Democratic party. Their
names and their company constitute
a heavier load than any man could
bear, no matter how great his per-
sonal integrity or the general conf
dence in him.
