CONVENTION OF CLUBS.
Low Rate of Fare Secured by Leasuer.
for Indianapolis S1eetin9.

AT the request of the officers of the
National Republican League. who are
working up interest in the conversion OF
Republican Clubs at indianapolis, Oct.
5 and &, the Central Passenger .Associa-
ton has conceded a rate from all points
in the territory of the association of one
fare plus % cents for the round trip.
The selling dates are Oct. +, = and g and
the return limit Oct. o, thus enabling Il
visit to st. Louis. 1t was agreed that
these fares should be rendered other as
sociations east and west. No card or
ders or certificates are required on the
dates mentioned.
President Moore OF the National
League, after consulting with President
Z. w. Mcclure of the Indiana League,
and representatives of the Illinois organ
%lzation, returned to Philadelphia. He
said the organization of Republican
clubs was being pushed with vigor and
that an Attendance of at least 1000 dele
gates from the various State and terri
torial leagues was expected at Indian
apolis. Headquarters will be opened at
the Denison Hotel in that city AT once.
The League men are especially pleased
with the low rates of fare secured, and
anticipate large audiences to hear Secre-
taries Shaw and Taft and Senators Fair
banks and Beveridge, and Hon. George
A. knight of California.

Tho Weakness of Parker and Davis
Grows Palmer Hnch Day.

1t appears that Judge Parker of
Esopus is going to New York City to
run his own campaign. The revelation
has come, but it has come more swiftly
than most of us expected. The revela-
ton is simply this-that the idea of the
country that the Democrats had nomi-
mated n fine old judge whose character
led up to the standard of what . judge
should be is shivered into splinters. Two
years ago the country knew nothing of
Judge Alton Il. Parker OF New York.
and little of Henry Gassawny Davis of
West Virginia, two men picked up. for
a purpose, by the men who controlled the
Democratic national convention. How
clear to everybody now must be the sit
ua1ion! Instead of this stately judge
who sent the stately telegram to st.
Louis, appears, and for all p~ermanency,
merely Il decent creature of the famous
New York politician, David Bennett
Hill.
1t is all queer. 1T appears so unsub-
~stantial and Indifferent that Hill could
have nominated one of his creations for
the Presidency.
AS the days pass in his autumn of
1904 the eyes of the American people
are opening as to the political situation.
There is no anguish following the open
ing. 1t is practically all over. save the
exhibition of a certain exuberance next
November.
1t is impossible that such a people
as are the voters of the United States
could vote generally to place the gov
eminent in the hands of Tammany and a
weak but crafty Democratic leader,
whose aims and objects have seemed
ever to be for himself alone, one who
has never heard or thought of the ex-
preston, the greatest good for the
greatest NUMBER" and who, above all,
seems incompetent for the best manage
ment of the United States.

THE UNDERGROUND N

Virtue reigns supreme to-day about
Esopus;
1t is purged of all that jars the proper
mind.
The thing that's most conspicuous round
Esopns
Is the absence of the peanut eating
kind:
And in all the air that circulates at Rose
mount
Not a plutocratic olor can be found:
But the public still suspects there's
something doing
In the subway to Esopus, under
ground.
In the cold and shady distance they're
remaining,
Willy Dave and wicked August all
alone.
Their base presence no more casts "A dark
reflection
In the limelight that descends around
the throne;
For the candidates declared he never
knew them;
He repeats it while the white robed nre
around;
lhen he eoy!y turns one ear to earth and
listens
10 Instruction from The subway under
ground.
And August smiles s%eren.iy Der at
Davy,
And Dave looks back and winks the
other eye:
And all the While they keep right on ar
ranging
The place and style of each plum in
the pie.
Yes, it is a triae lonesome, this seclu-
SION"
Says August, "but you bet the plan is
sound.
For Dave and 1 ~sa't longin' to be hoo
doos.'
Then they hit the trail for Rosemount

ADMISSION.
Parkcr's Party Afraid to Stand on IL,
Past Record.

John B. S1anchtield. one of the leaders
of the New York Democracy, said in Il
speech at Schenectady:
They the Democrats) do not stand on
their past, but they present a live utter
probation Of live issues"
Truly, the Democratic party does not
stand on its past. 1t dares not stand
on its past-on its advocacy of free
coinage of silver, on its demand for the
hauling down of the flag in the Philip
pines, on the business paralysis that
marked the last period during which the
Democratic party was in control of the
government; on its declaration that the
var for the preservation of the Union
was a failure: on all the laundering OPP
position of which its history is a con
inuou record.
The Democratic party does not and
dares not stand upon its record. because
its record would discredit the most en-
ticing promises that it could make.

SUGGESTIONS TO DEMOCRATS
Great Thoughts of Great Democrats,
Should BE Widely Circulated.

ANSAy
The Democratic party is boasting OF
the Fact that in this campaign it is
sending out a great number of tons of
literature. though why literature shonld
be sent out by the Democratic party no
one can understand. Upon second
thought, though, it must be admitted,
as a matter of fairness in speaking OF
people who vote the Democratic; ticket,
that quite a number of them canfread.
However, this is merely a suggestion
to the men whose business it is to handle
the Democratic campaign of education.
To be consistent they must keep IN
the campaign lies. In their tons of lit
erature they must first reiterate the
falseliood of Senator Bailey of Texas.
when he declared in a recent speech
that the President advocated lyncllins
as a punishment for stealing.
They should issue a few million
pamphlets advocating the attitude OF
l)emocracy's great representative,
Champ Clark, in assuming that when
some one in the audience disagrees with
the speaker Oh the platform it is tho
p%rerogative of the speaker. after his
speech is over, to cut the throat of tho
oblector from ear to ear.
There is an old saying that a lie we'll
stuck to is as good as the truth. 1t
is not a sound proposition, but there is
IN 1T a suggestion as to what the Demo-
Gratis might do with their money in cir
culating campaign literature.
1t is to be hoped that they will be
grateful for these suggestions. but the
chances are ten to one that they won't.

OF RUS
Gold Democrats Stunning the Hill.
Sheelian Combination.


The Gold Democrats of Indiana are
unwilling to trust Judge Parker's spon-
sors. They are willing to contribute So
600 to the campaign fund. but the money
will not be sent to the H~ill-Sheehan
combination. They have asked Parker
himself to take the money. If the Demo
Gratis are unwilling to trust their leaders,
how can the mass of the people be ex-
pected to take any stock in the profess
sions and promises of the party? If the
Gold Democrats are correct in their esti-
mate of Parker's managers, the latter
are no better than a gang of sand-bag-
gers. Sterling II. Holt, one of the lead
ing Gold Democrats of Indiana, said a
few days ago: The Gold Democrats
are not going to be coaxed behind IL
barn and relieved of their money and
then driven to the polls and voted.''
1t is gratifying to learn that such Il
man as Mr.. Holt entertains the same
view of Hill and Sheehan that Repub-
leans do. hut it is somewhat remarkable
that Mr.. Holt does not realize that Par
ker is merely the creature of his man
ayers, and that any money given to- the
judge will find its way, through some
channel, to Democratic headquarters.

The rarty for Young Men

Edward Hoch, Republican nominee fo,
Governor of Kansas, in an address at
Marion. in that State, said:
But now these vociferous gentlemen
have suddenly discovered that the gold
standard is all right, and their candi-
date for President blandly announces
that that question is 'irrevocably set
1ied. Young men should join a party
that espouses good principles and poll
cics at the beginning, and not a party
that opposes every good thing init it is
lrrevocably settled against it, and then
tags along with a belated approval of all
that it had stubbornly opposed"

RAILWAY MANS VIEWS.
Country IL Prosperous, and Roosevelt,
Will BE Elected.

p. II. Hartman, one of the best in
formed railway officials in the country,
avs a continuation of national pros
perity is assured. Recently he said to
a New York Herald reporter:
Conditions which in other years
caused panic and national distress dc
not now exist. In all localities-in Ne
braska and Kansas, in the East and the
Far West-the local moneyed interests
are conservative. 1t is possible to in
vestigate with accuracy any financial OF
industrial question. The small money
centers as we'll as the large ones are
well supplied with funds. and this fac,
insures careful investment and mini
mizes risk. There has been a slow,
steady enhancement of values, and it is
still going on"
When asked for his opinion on the
probable outcome of the election, he said;
ut will be Roosevelt and Fairbanks.
Every II wants them. No one can af-
ford to change"

Democrats Admire Roo..v.,t.

Radical Democratic newspapers are
forced TO admit that President Roose-
velt's letter of acceptance is a strenuous
presentation of the issues from a Repub-
lican standpoint. Even the New York
World and Denver Times commend the
Presidents Keynote" The fact is, there
is not Il Democrat in the land who does
not admire Mr.. Roosevelt's direct way of
going at things, and all would vote for
HIM if they could at the same time re-
ain their party organization. There
will be no real regret among Democrats
when Mr.. Roosevelt is elected. He is
ten times more popular with the mass
of Democracy than Judge Parker is.

A Rear Guard Action,

Already in the presidential campaign
of this year the Democrats are fighting
a "rear-suard action The Russian
Gen. Kuropatkin has his troubles and
has been fighting rear-suard actions for
some time, but his condition is good as
compared with the condition of the pres
ent leaders of the Democratic party.
The Democracy is fighting a rear
guard action and about the only trou-
BILE the Republicans have in the premises
is that there will not be fun enough in
the campaign. Even the "rear-guard ac-
ton" appears to be about over.

PARkER's DEFICIT SCARE.
1t L. Easily Exploded by an Appea
to Facts and Ficures.

The Ulster County candidate, labor
ing hard over Judge Parker's speech to
the faithful Democratic editors, Scissored
out some statistics with which to ham
mer the Republican administration. But
while the Judge was toilins over his
empty sentences.
His cogitativc faculties immersed
In cosibundity Of cogitation,'
his aptitude for figures went ON a vaca
ton and he prepared, or accepted, some
very queer conclusions, which he gave
to the admiring editors with much pomp
and circumstance.
The trouble is that the Ulster County
politicians deficit is not a deficit at
all, when it comes to realities. The Re-
publicans delightedly accept the chal-
lenge of the Democratic candidate. for it
gives them a chance to show a few sta.
tistics themselves.
Judge Parker asserts,' saws a Wash
ington dispatch to the Chicago Chron-
icle. that there is now a deficit of $40
100000. instead of a surplus of SSO,OOo.-
OO0, which Mr.. Roosevelt found on he
coming President. Both statements are
reckless, as a careful examination of
the records of the treasury will shcw
In regard to the deficit. the receipts and
expenditures for the fiscal year ending

vanced $4,50O,O0O to the Louisiana pur-
chase exposition, which latter amount is
to be returned to the government. If

Parkerites Alarmed.

There are Il large number of Bryan
Democrats in New York State, and
their present attitude is viewed with
alarm by the Hill Belmont-Sheehan or
ganization. 1t is said every follower of
w. j. Bryan will vote the Populist Ma
tional ticket. The Populists have put
a State ticket in the field. the first in
many years, and a Bryan Democrat has
been placed at its head. The Parkerites
are charging Bryan with bad faith. as
sorting thai the detection of the Bryan
Democrats will cost Parker at least %
900 votes.

Parker,s Neipbbor, A~y,tn.+ u,,,

Congressman George ]. Smith of the
Twenty-fourth New York District, i'll
which is Judge Parker's home, told
President Roosevelt a few days age
that he had made a tour of the district
and found no Republicans who would
vote for Parker. If the Democratic
candidate gains no votes among his Re.
publican %neighbors. he certainly should
gain none elsewhere. In other words.
If his popularity is not sufficiently great
to draw votes from those he daily comes
in contact with, he need not expect to
secure the support of Republicans who
know him only by what he has said ard
done.

This increase of value has been esti-

States. A moderate estimate is from
81 to So per acre. For the rapid de-
velopment of rurai free delivery the
farmers are indebted to the Republican
parry.
