WEDNESDAY, GGToBER 20, 1904.
A srRoNG asENTATIoN.

All of MT. Clevland's New York speech was good, but there is one para graph which deserves republishing Tn all Democratic newspapers. Speaking of Democrats, he said:
 They know that their country's pros perity, like the rains of heaven which freshen and beautify the ornamental lawn and at the same time make pro ductive the farm and garden. should be distributed among all the people in every station of life; and they will challenge the claim of party which boasts of a prosperity 1t has wrought which gives to it's pampered favorites added opportunities to increase their riches. while the poor and those who toll wait like Lazarus to be fed from the crumbs which fall from the rich mans table.
 That Is putting the facts in the style for which he is famous. Democrats everywhere, and at all times, ought to challenge the prosperity claims of their opponents and show where these claims are utterly false and misleading. The proof is not hard to obtain, for 1t is apparent everywhere. Robin Hood de- tended his depredations by claiming that he robbed the rich and gave to
 
 reversed that practice. If 1t is not the intentional policy of that Party to rob the poor and many and enrich the al- ready rich few, that is the result, and when they defend 1t they might as well admit that it Is what they intend. We insist that Democrats everywhere should make the tariff and its blight ing effects the paramount issue in this campaign. All other issues pale before the need of a revised and modified tar if. and honest government, and on these two the Democratic Party can well afford to make the fight. On them it can win. and the way to win is to educate the people so that they may be fully able to distinguish between right and wrong and choose the right by voting for Parker.
 The prosperity cry of the Republicans is partly hypocrisy and largely an in- suit to the intelligence of the American people. Certain protected interests are prosperous because of the advantages which protection gives them. As a general thing, the farmers are fairly prosperous and would be much more so, but that they have to buy so many trust -coddled articles, and but for the further fact that these same trusts SC .. cure a large share of what ought to be legitimate profit for the producers. Even if the farmers are more than usually prosperous, they owe none of 1t to the Republicans or to their ad- ministration.
 The Republican tariff offers one os the most vulnerable points that Demo- crats could possibly desire. Upon other question there Is more or less differ ence of opinion, and more or less ground for that difference among Dem ocrats. There ought to be but one opinion. and one feeling, among them on the tariff. As 1t stands at present. it cannot be defended by any one who believes in justice and fairness, nor by any one who believes in sound Democ- racy We should have had hot anti tariff campaign from the start, and 1t should have kept getting hotter. It is not too late now to follow Mir. Cleve- lands lead and keep the trusts, and tarin robbers on the jump til the polls lelass- That way 1ss victory.

MIR. CLEVELAND,S POWER
He May Not Re n Hero, But He Has
 the Confidence of the People.

NAC SVhAuCNNG Oh NMG hGORICs
 Washington Post.
 To our mind, this man presents the most remarkable spectacle in the his tory Of modern politics. The ovation he received In New York last Friday night exceeded in significance and i'm pressiveness any similar demonstration in the annals of the republic,-certain- " any that has occurred within the past eighty or ninety years. We have never regarded MT. Cleveland as a great man. His strength, his integri- ty of purpose, his indomitable courage we recognize. of course. But he has not been the prime mover in sny i'm portant national event. He has not appeared at the psychological moment in any national crisis or emergency. In the third year of his first adminis- tration he declared himself as the prophet of a purely economic Cospel and in the second year of his last sd- mintstration he encountered a defeat He has figured in no tremendous trag- edy such as the revolution of 1776 or the civil war of 1861. He has encoun- tered no such tragedies as those in which Andrew Jackson played an he- roic part, nor does anything in his public career compare with the tre- mendous drama that Zachary Taylor dominated when--himself a Southern man-he took the secession movement or his day by the throat and choked it into helplessness. And yet. without having flashed in war or controlled any sensational emergency, MT. Cieyeland @ holds the respect, the confidence. the imagination of his fellow citizens as no man, with the exception of Abra- ham Lincoln. has since the time of An drew Jackson. The people believe In him. Party lines waver and melt and disappear under his amazing influence It is inexplicable, but 1t is a fact which cannot be ignored. Had the Democ- racy been wise enough to nominate him as their candidate, not all the power of the embattled government. re-enforced by the persuasive elo- 9uence of the Roots, the Lodges. and the Tafts. could have prevented his election by an overwhelming majority. He may not be -the peoples hero-as heroes go-but he Is their rock, their refuge, and their citadel

DELAWARE POLITICS.

If the honest Republicans of Dela- ware have any desire to rid themselves and their State of Addicksism. it would seem that they now have the oppor- tunity Those who call themselves Regulars" have on more than one oc- casion had an opportunity to unite with the Democrats and overthrow Addicks and his gang, but they seem unwilling to do 1t. Now, however. 1t looks as if the Democrats have a first rate chance to down both wings of their enemies. As in Wisconsin, there is division in Delaware that ought to lose them the State. unless they think better of it and join forces again. Even if they do this, they ought to lose, under all the cir ! cumstances, but if they do not unite, the Democrats have the State. sure.
 The Republicans claim the State Of together. Addicks has many cards, and knows how to play them. He also is credited with much money and knows how to use 1t. Last, but by no means least. he has the countenance and the active assistance of the President. With all these advantages in his favor, he may be able to consolidate all the Re- publican forces and save the State, but it doesn't look that way now. It Is really Democratic State, though the Republicans have. for ten years, con trolled 1t by small pluralities, but If they will keep up their family row. they must surely go to the wall this year. As The Philadelphia Record says:
 In the meanwhile there is just one obligation resting upon every Delaware Republican who detests Addicksisun, and that is to stand by pr. Chandler. As he says, he did not seek the nomin- ation. or desire it, and when he was urged to permit his name to go before the convention he Consented upon the condition that his nomination would last until the votes were counted. He stated this to the convention, which ratified the understanding with heart, applause. Then when the duPont men supposed the work of the convention completed and went home, the traffick. ing Higgins men adopted a resolution instructing the State Committee, which they controlled, to trade with Addicks if they got a chance. The chance came and the trade was made, and the Hig- gins men are now on the same level as the union Republicans. They have, III tact, stopped fighting Addicks in order to get some of his money and patron- age,
 Dr. Chandler is under every moral ob-
 lgation to resist the disgraceful dicker by staying in the field.

Noticing The Advertisers prediction that the whites of Maiden, Mass. will dodge rather than vote for the negro candidate for Mayor. The Muskogee Democrat says:
 Of course they'll dodge. The negro is good enough to vote the Republican ticket and elect the whites to office, but when he asks for a division of the honors and perquisities that his vote makes possible, he is put on a back seat that the bad Democrats will gain the victory which would be awful-for the office-holding white man.
 It will be good joke on the Maiden ties, if they refuse to support the col ored brother on no better ground than he Is a negro.

 It is remarkable how many ''whiskey victims are being found in New York these days, following the discovery that certain saloon keeper was serv- ing his customers with an alleged whiskey made with wood alcohol Now, apparently. every time a myste- rious death occurs the allegation is that the deceased is a "whiskey vic- tim: Formerly 1t was heart faiI- ure" that carried them off.

One of the greatest mistakes made by the Republicans is when they quote from Mckinley. Roosevelt is so utterly different from the other. and has so completely failed to carry out the pledges he made on the death of tho President, that Republicans should let the dead rest when they are trying to boost the living.

The discovery that certain whiskey was mixed with deadly wood alcohol brings out a statement that fully S5 per cent of the whiskey sold is bad We suppose that would depend on the point of view. There are many who in- sist that it is all bad. while others say 1t is all good and better.
