so MUCH FOR HEARST

NE" 4OfK HefaAd-The democratic
party Of this state has been sold and it's
emblerns turned over to the purchaser,
but the democratic voters cannot be de-
ivered. The democrats Of the
state. betrayed and outraged, wilt cast
their ballots for the man nominated at
Saratoga and teach the sordid hucksters
that they are not to be bought and sold
New York Ssun-rn September; i've
years ago, the president Of the United
states was assasstnated at Buffalo. At
Buffalo this morning William R. Hearst
was nominated by the democracy as it's
candidate for the governorship Of the
state of New York. Let us accept the
inevitable with grace and resignation,
and let us hope that the party Of assas
stnation and the. torch has done to man
kind the only service OF which it was
capable and has extinguished itself for
ever. -..'. - +: ,
New York Press-1n obtaining the DEM
ocratic nomination at Buffalo Mr.. Hearst
has seized with iull grasp a two-edged
blade that IS capable Of severing the
eager hand that SWITCHES it. He gains
the badge Of party regularity, but with
It nothing that Is worth estimating, so
far as his present canvass is concerned.
He loses what careful students of po-
ntical conditions have regarded as his
most valuable asset in his fight for the
governorship Of New York-the leader
ship Of an earnest and popular opposition
to machines. ~@r
New York Tribune-Mr. Hearst's can
didacy represents a dangerous force in
politics. It has behind it much mistaken
but honest enthusiasm, as much insincere
and calculating support. It marshals the
forces Of unrest of class prejudice, OF
dissatisfaction, arttculate or inarticulate,
with economic conditions. The republic
an party must meet the .brunt Of this
attack by rallyfng behind itself the forces
Of order, of conservatism, Of progress
New York Stats Zeitung-What else
could one have expected Of the convention
/ In Buffalo? The trafficlzing and bartering
which characterize this gathering must
arouse in every true democrat the deep
est Indignation. ~.v-. - 4
New York Evening Post-By what in
famous bargain was Hearst led abruptly
to cease his arraignment Of Murphy
and take HIS Nomination solely from the
hands Of "a man whom he had again and
again declared It would be his great aim
to send to Sing Sing? 49,. - .>.~,..

by the highest bidder, s,and from this
