WATsON's LETTER OF ACCEPT
ANCE

The chief purpose of Mr.. Watson, the
Populist nominee for President, in his
| letter of acceptance. seems to be to
/ create the impression that the Demo-
cratic party isn't worthy of the conf
dence of the people and that it's nomi-
nee for President is tool of Wall
street. 1t is natural. of course, that
he should hate the Democratic party
for the reason that, having left it to
become a member of the Populist par
", it seems to get along better with
out him Perhaps he thought it would
go To pieces when he left it and that
it's fragments would gravitdte to the
Populist party, making the latter the
great party of the country. That it
didn't go to pieces, but on the con-
trary. has grown stronger. is some
thing for which he can never forgive
it, and, doubtless, he will devote the
remainder of his days in attaching IL.
He is gracious enough to say in the
course of his speech that he thinks
Judge Parker "a very worthy man.
but what he says about him would
seem to justify the belief that he
doesn't think him entirely worthy, be-
cause he says, in effect that Judge
Parker permitted the expenses for his
two years campaign for the nominal
ton to be paid by Wall street, and
that he didn't make known the fact
that he was in favor of the gold stand
nd Ia
tional Convention of his party to make
another nomination. The inference
from this is that he wants to be under
stood as saying that Judge Parker re-
manned silent on the money question
because he thought he couldn't get the
nomination if it were known that he
was gold standard man. If Mr.
Watson really believes Judge Parker
tricked the convention how can he
afford to say he thinks he is a very
worthy man?
of course Mr.. Watson has high
regard for Mr.. Roosevelt. He says he
has no words of abuse for him. He
thinks he is "a brave, honest con-
scientious man" He cannot give him
his support, however, because he
doesn't approve the principles for
which Mr.. Roosevelt stands-princlpIes
which, he believes. are "hurrying this
republic into a sordid despotism of
wealth"
Mr.. Watson doesn't expect to be
elected. 1t is doubtful if he thinks
he will get a. single electoral vote, but,
Judging from the tone of his acceptance
speech, wouldn't he feel he had ac-
complished a great thing if he sue
ceeded in drawing enough Democratic
voters to his standard to defeat the
election of Judge Parker? Wouldn't he
be satisfied with the result of his cam
paign work? There are good reasons
for thinking he would. If his speech
means anything it is that he would
much prefer the Republicans should
win the election, since his party has
no chance of winning it.

A GIFT Gone Wrong.

]. S. Duss, the bandmaster. recalled
that a friend of his in Western Penn
sylvania would have a birthday in a
few weeks, says the New York Times
and in kindly remembrance sent him q
fountain pen. That his friend was not
keeping up with the inventions of the
age was impressed upon Mr.. Duss
when he received the following ac-
acknowledgements:
My Dear John-You may judge how
well the new pen writes by reading this
letter. I had only to dip it in the ink
three or four times, and wrote three
long letters. I thank you very much
for such a nice pen.
Your friend,

are several poultry farms in Chatham

letter of acceptance of Mr.. Roosevelt,
which has been in the course of prep

the sections on civil service reform;
Secretary Shaw to go over those por-
tons dealing with our increased pros
perity; Secretary Morton to handle all
possible references to the expensive

edit the paragraphs dealing with our
successes abroad, that letter should
prove wonderful piece of work. The
usual Republican unscrupulousness
can probably make all evidences of
graft, postoffice scandal, and high
prices of necessities seem just the re-

why the party should be continued in

A Washington paper announces that
a prominent politician who called at
the White House has assured the
President that the utmost harmony
prevails in the ranks of the Repub-
licans in all sections of the country.
The same issue of the paper contains
accounts of the row in Philadelphia
between Israel Durham, Quay's sue
cessor, and his chief lieutenant; a re-
hash of the Delaware fracas; an ac-
count of the latest developments in the
Republican split in Massachusetts; a
story of a threatened division among
the Maryland Republicans; and a fore
cast of the result of the factional fight
in Wisconsin. Just how all these ac-
counts are reconciled with the inter
view with the politician is hard to see.
1t seems to be a peculiar faculty of
the Republican mind to avoid seeing
things which are disagreeable.

A CAMPAIGN OF PERSONALITIES.

1t would have been strange indeed
If Mr.. Roosevelt had striven to keep
! the presidential campaign on high
plane. It is like him to want to get
into a scrap. The Republican cam
paign text book is. it is stated, made
up of personalities and insinuations.
For instance, il is insinuated that the
Democrats will have a big campaign
fund, and the question as to where
it will come from is asked. The an
swer given is that it Will be supplied
by the trusts.
There is no authority whatever for
the statement that the trusts will give
anything to the campaign fund of the
Democrats. On the contrary, there are
good reasons for thinking the trust
magnates are about all on the side
of the Republicans. Is it not a fact
that the newspaper in New York city
that is supposed to be published in
the interests of corporations and finan-
cial institutions is now outspoken for
very recently that J. P. Morgan & Co.,
and the group of capitalists acting
with him, had come out for the Re
publican ticket, and it is the impress
sion that the capitalists and trusts
magnates who own the biggest bank
in the country and are all Republic
cans.
The meanest feature of the book,
however, is the attack on Judge Par
ker's motives. In previous campaigns
the leading candidates showed
the utmost respect for each other, but
in this campaign it begins to look as
if it were Mr.. Roosevelt's purpose to
attack his opponent in such man
ner as to lessen the respect of the
people for him if he can. We assume
this to be the case from what is
to be found in the Republican text
book.
In speaking of the famous gold
telegram which Judge Parker sent to
the st. Louis convention the sugges-
ton is made that he had no idea of
sending it to the convention until he
was moved to do so by articles in New
York newspapers. 1t is also asserted
that Judge Parker's real hackers are
a lot Of capitalists and politicians who
are aiming to make all they can out
of him.
The manager of the Democratic
campaign in New York and also the
manager of one of the Brooklyn dis
tricts, together with various other
local political managers are, it is al
legged, hand-in-glove with the sugar
trust and various other trusts.
of course it is an easy matter to
make charges like these, but hereto
fore, if we are not mistaken, it has
been the custom to keep personalities
out of the campaign books. The pre-
sumption is that the President read
the book before it was given to the
public and it had his approval If Mr..
Roosevelt wants a mud-slinging cam
paign he will have to handle some of
the mud.
The truth doubtless is that the cam
paign is altogether too quiet to sat
isfy Mr.. Roosevelt-hence a campaign
text book that is full of personalities.
1t has been given out within the last
few days that in his letter of accept
ance it is his purpose to say some
pretty savage things about Judge
Parker. With such man as an OPP
ponent it is fortunate for Judge Par
ker that he has a clean record and a
stainless private life

Catlin Canal Company meetins.
The meeting of the stockholders
of the reorganized Cntlin Consoli-
dated Canal company, held at the
Odd Fellows hall Monday, was
well attended. There were nearly
900 shares represented. A board
of directors to serve the interven-
ing period between the close of
the present boards term and the
next annual meeting was elected.
The present board was elected for
the short term from September %
to January l, 1905.
The most important matter that
came before the meeting was fix
ing the assessment. Twenty-Five
cents, thirty cents and fifty cents
were suggested. BY three
fourths vote Of tho stock repre-
sented. the thirty.cents assessment
carried. w.
The question OF the best means
Of measuring the water in large
laterals was raised. After a dis
cussion by J. W. Longacre, S. W.
Cressy, W. H. McCnskill, J. L.
Gauger and others, a motion was
made by J. W. Longacre thnt the
company construct rating fumes
for all laterals carrying $50 inches
or more, the directors to select a
point where such tlume should
be put in and superintend its con-
struction. While the motion was
carried with no dissenting vote.
there was quite little opposition
to the plan on the grounds that
the larger laterals arr not the only
ones that are likely to be in need
of more accurate means of meas
ment.
1t Inns been n question among
many OF the water users ms to
whether the Catlin canal has u
sufficient capacity for its full de-
cree. Water Commissioner Crcssy
was asked .or an opinion at tho
the meeting. He stated that the
state engineer had found that tho
ditch was amply able Ia take care
of more than its decree at tho
operating ilumc, and i. W. Beatty
stated that the time they were car
rying the full 3i5 fee; tho ditch
was locked to 80 per cent.-Tri-
