The Independent Vote.

1t begins to be apparent that both
of the great political parties are bas-
ing their hopes upon what is called
the independent vote" By that term
up the parties and their platforms, as
the mutations of politics bring about
changes, and who determine for them
selves, regardless of hide-bound polit.
ical considerations which party offers
the best inducements for the welfare
Of the country and consequently aud
incidentally, their own welfare
In the election of 1896 the independ-
ent vote cast the ballot which decided
the result. There were two main part
les in the field, Democrats and Repub-
icans and there was one issue; free
silver against sound money. Demo
Gratis, who had voted with their party
for years and to whom separation was
d genuine pang of regret, felt con-
strained to leave the old party and vote
with those of al opposite political
faith for the reason that the country's
welfare was above and beyond party
questions. Their intelligence taught
them that free silver was a delusion
and snare. Many of them regretted
that their party had been carried
away in moment Of excess to indorse
such d policy, but as long as that had
occurred, they felt they could not in
justice to their intelligence follow.
They voted the Republican ticket be-
cause it was the ticket of sound monev
and good business.
Practically the same thing occurred
In 1900, except in that year another
issue was injected into the situation.
This time the Democrats had adopted
as their ''param cunt ISSUE policy of
retreat in the Philippines. Again the
independent vote was brought face to
face with proposition which involved
another pang, another separation from
old associations. But be it said to the
honor and credit of the American
people, again was the country's well
fare and the country's honor placed
above party consideration The men
OF intelligence and independence said,
in effect well, the Democratic party
has seen fit to we'd itself to this policy
of retreat and scuttle. We do not be-
lieve in it. and much as we love the
old party we will have to part com
pany on this question"
It seems that similar occasion i
now arising. The Democratic party
has been largely reorganized; it has
received an infusion Of new blood
sees upon the horizon a new star of
hope, and yet falls short of meeting the
requirements of the day. The indie |
pendents Will probably have to heave
another sigh and bid another fond
farewell to the old party as they SO to
cast vote with the Republicans for
sound business ard stable conditions. |
What do the Democrats offer the in
eeendent voters, the calm, cool, in
telligent men of the country, who can
not be ratified with twelfth hour tel
egram and who will not be misled by |
5pecious talk? These men will sift the
Democratic promises, scan the Demo
cratic platform and when they have
weighed the promises ard the platform
in the balances they will be found

RooseveIt's Letter of Acceptance.

Theodore RoOsevelt's letter of &C
ceptance is out. How vastly different,
how outspoken and positive are the
Presidents utterances on all issues
now before the people, when compared
to the hesitatiug, half hearted state
ment OF Judge Parker who confesses
that even should his party be success
full in electing him President, the Dem
ocratic party could do little ''reform-
lngn for some years to come.
We take pleasure in giving a
few excerpts from the letter of accept
ance of President Roosevelt, knowing
that the. matter will be keenly relished
by that class of Americans who honor
and appreciate man like our Presi-
dent, who fearlessly meets every issue
squarelY, and leaves no one in doubt
as. to where he stands. In opening
MIR. Roosevelt, said:
It is difficult to find out from the
utterances of our opponents what are
the real issues upon which they pro-
pose to wage this campaign. 1t is
not unfair TO say that, having aband-
oned most of the principles upon
which they have insisted during the
last eight years, they now seem at a
loss, both as to what it.. is that they
really believe, and as to how firmly
they shall assert their belief in any
thing. In fact, it is doubtful if they
venture ,resolutely to press. single
issue; as soon, as they raise one they
shrink from it aud seek TO explain it
away. Such an attitude is the pro-
baby inevitable result of the effort to
improvise convictions, for when thus
improyised it is natural that they
should be held in tentative manner.
II, Fhe party now in control of the
government is troubled by no such
difficulties We do not have to guess
I at our own contentious and then cor
rect the guess if it seems unpopular.
The principles which We profess are
those 10 which we believe with heart,
soul and strength. Men may differ
from us, but they cannot accuse US of
stiffness or insincerity. The policies
we have pursued are those which we
earnestly hold as essential to the ma
tionai welfare and repnts Our ac-
tions speak even louder than our
words for the faith that is in us. We
base our appeal upon our record of ad-
minisJration and legislation during the
last seven years, in which we have had
complete control of the government.
We intend in the future to carry on
the government in the same way
that we have carried it on IN the past.
A party whose mem bers are radically
at variance on most vital issues, and il
united at all, are only on issues where
their attitude threatens widespread
disaster TO the whole country, cannot
be trusted to govern in any matter. A
party which, with facile ease, changes
all it's convictions before election can
not be trusted to adhere with tenacity
to any principle after election. A |
party fit to govern must have convic-
tions. In 1896 the Republican party
came into power, and in 1900 it le-

SHARP PRACTISE,

Miss Christine Tlngllng Of Liverpool
has come 10 America for the odd pur-
pose Of teaching public speaking to
American women,
A bright young reporter interviewed
Miss TinlIng the other day lie hoped
that she would say ridiculous and alb
surd things bout her mission here
things that would work into q funny
story-but she talked very sensbly She
perceived at once that the reporter
desired 10 make game of her and she
called his line Of questioning sharp

rs q game at which two can play, and
they who try 1t usually meet their
match"
Then smiling, she told the reporter
an appropriate story
"a farmer" she began went 10 an
agricultural fair with $500 IN his packet,
As he lived distance, during the pro-
gress Of the fair he was obliged to put
up az an inn. on the evening OF his
arrival he deposited his $500 with the
inukeeper
Keen this for me he said, until
ask for It,
But when, some days later, he came
to depart the innkeeper knew nothing
about his money
There must be some mistake the
rogue said, You didn't leave any $500
with me-
And so, Willy nilly, the poor farmer
had 10 go away empty-handed, Nothing
he could say or do would compel the
landlord TO return the money 10 him.
