CHARGES OF FRAUD MADE.
Company Confer with District.
Attorney jerome.

New York, Aug. 7.--Following charges
Of fraud in connection with the affairs
of the Merchants Trust company, the de-
positOrs of the institution tonight an
pointed a committee Of three to meet and
confer with District Attorney Jerome
and lay before him evidence OF alleged
wrong doing. Charges were made at
the meeting that the receivers had re-
fused bids for the assets of the corpora
ton which would have enabled the de-
positors to have received their money in
full.
A committee appointed at the last
meeting OF depositors reported that It
had had a consultation with the Vice
President OF the New York Trust COM
pany and Edward Lauterbach, .he re.
ceivers' attorney. Mr.. King. II was
said, denied that the receivers had re-
ceived bonafide bid OF &2,3oo.0oo for
the assets. This sum Is slightly in ex-
cess Of all liabilities. It was said.
james II. Moore said he had seen proof
In the Office OF r. Clarence Jones e. Co.
that such an offer had been made.
II was stated that an offer OF So, 400, 0OO
for the assets OF the company would be
made in the depositors interest In a few
days.

in spite Of trust exactions, how can he
explain the unchecked eagerness of re-
publican officials in every department Of
the government in Washington to grab
more than their fair share Of the said
prosperity by every known kind of job
berry and corruption? How will he allay
the alarm OF the people at the constant
~ growing aggressions upon local self
government through the invasion of the
reserved rights of the States: how ex-
plain the oNtravagant appropriations. tho
heavy taxes and the growing deficits?
The Democratic party in 1908 will not
let these things be forgotten, and there
are many other sins of the Republican
party which will be brought to the at
tention of the voters. If the Republican
party under the lead Of so strenuously
honest a President as Roosevelt riots in
extravaganza and corruption. what can
be expected Of it under a weaker head?
The democrats may well insist upon
an answer to this question, and effcctu-
ally 10 Insist that 1t is time to turn out
the rascals who have detied party dlsci-
pline and loyalty in order to violate the
laws OF God and man.
Tho Wing party lived misprably and
died little lamrntcd because it had but
one poHt!cdl principle WNlcn was hatred
of Andrew Jackson and all his works.
while all Its other alleged principles look
ed merely to economic measures on which
the popular mind was often shifting.
Tho Democratic party can win in 1903
by uniting on its time -honored political
principles and showing makcshft meas
llrcs into the background. The preserva.
ton of local self government By n,ain-
tanning involate the guaranteed rights oe
the State; opposition to robber tariffs
which tax the people one dollar for tho
gantly protected monopolies opposition
TO imperialism. which in the Philippines
alone has already cost the taxpayers Of
the United States two-thirds the amount
Of the Understanding national debt; de-
handing that taxes ana expenditures ho

usurpation by the executive of legislative
and judicial functions; honesty fidelity
and capacity in the public service-these
are some of the principles on which.
with a trusted candidate. the Democratic
party can make great fight in 1905
And they are principles worth figuring
for. Specific measures may come into is
size before the national conventions meet.
less than three years hence; but the broad
and fundamental principles OF democracy,
by the application Of which the country
was kept happy and prosperous for more
than half a century, are the platform
ON which the party may well plant itself
now.

town of DennisOn. there to engage in
banking and in the practice of law.
These occupations. it seems. however.
will not occupy all his time nor the most
of it, for he is expected to mingle freely
with the republican politicians and vot-

part in the congressional campaigns Of
1906.
Mr. Shaw is convinced that the people
OF Iowa are fond of him. and he is
r"putcd to have hopes Of their support
for the presidential nomination In tho
national republican convention of 1908.
He thinks that the situation will not be
favorable for "A man who lives 80 clos"
to Wall street as Elihu Root does. and
he may shrcwdly surmise that Mr.. rafts
unpromising struggle with the unprom-
sing Philippine question will not help
the latter's boom.
Mr.. Shaw may point with significant
finger to the fact that the Republican
party has never Yet taken a presdon

pcrsuasively that the year 1905 will be the
best possible time to do 50. Zachary
Taylor was the only president Of tho
United States ever chosen from the banks
of the Mississippi but his Jefferson Par

time to cross the stream higher up.
Other candidates will not agree with
him.
