Goes for Teddy.

Judge Parker, who was the Dem
ocratic presidential candidate in
1904. is taking anSactive part in the
present campaign, and. as the Char
Ileston Post says, he is bombarding
Roosevelt with thirteen inch shells.
Judge Parker is dealing in his spec,
ialy. taking up practically where he
left off in his own campaign against
Mr.. Roosevelt, the charge that Mr..
Roosevelt's agents in 1904 made
some very shady financial and po-
litical deals with the "malefactors
of great wealth" in Wall street.
Judge Parker has now the proof of
his statements, in the revelations of
the insurance investigation and in
the Hartman letters, wherein Mr.
Roosevelt is shown to have had per-
sonal communication with this "un-
desirable citizen" upon the question
Of raising funds to promote his
election, and to have offered to con.
fer with him upon matters of State
and to consider especially his sug-
gestions as to railroad legislation
Judge Parkerswas stoutly denounced
by Mr.. Roosevelt four years ago
for presuming to intimate anything
of this kind, but it has all come out
in the Indictment, and there is no
gainsaying the statements that
Judge Parker is now able to make
and is making with convincing eff
feet. Before he gets through Judge
Parker will show that Roosevelt was
the liar and not himself. !

There Is no more picturesque nor

when he was in congress as q repre-
sentative from Washington. There has
never been n Democrat. at least during
my experience. at the capital so apt at

the biting tongue, hesitated to attack
Colonel Lewis.

within the bounds Of possibility that
the national ticket might be carried.
Colonel Lewis pointed out these rea-
SONS for confidence IN certain other
states: IN Connecticut the issue is the
absorption of the New York, New Ha-

Central, which has offended the people,
and the Republican national committee

1t. In De!a ware the elevation of Du

conspiracy, to place in the highest
financial counsels has disgusted the
voters. In New Jersey the Republican
party is torn by fractional fights and
rent by diSsension over Sunday clos

tween state prohibition and local op-

Against the State.

The decision Of the Court Of Ap-
peals in the dispensary case, which
sustains Judge Pritchard, means
that the receivers appointed,
Messrs. Arthur, Henderson and
Mccullough would have the right to
distribute the funds, amounting to
$500, 900, according to testimony Of
fered those concerned. 1t was the
contention Of the State authorities
that the federal courts did not have
this jurisdiction and in order to
have q record and make test case
the matter was brought before the
S)uth Carolina supreme court and
SO decided.
The State says both Gov. Anse
and Attorney General Lyon, when
notified of the decision had very lit
t t comment except that the case
would be fought out in the United
States Supreme Court and that ev.
cry effort would be made to show
that the contention of the whisky
houses interested wa wrong. In
the meantime the securities invUlv-
ed in the case are in the hands OF
the State treasurer and will remain
,ere until an order from Gov. An
sci orders them turned over to the
receivers.
We believe that the United States
Supreme Court will sustain the de-
cision of the Court of Appeals, and
that eventually the receivers ap-
pointed by JUICE Pritchard will
come into po session of the dispensa-
ry funds an di5perse them as direct
ed by the United States Courts. We
are sorry that this is so, but there is
no remedy for it now. Had the dis
pensary funds been allowed to re-
main in the custody of the State
Treasurer where the original dis
penssry law pla ed them tn re
never wtu'd rave been any cult in
the United States Court about them.

Serious Republican Reverse

The Springfield Republican, which
is a supporter of Mr.. Taft, made
the following admission in reference
to the Maine election a few days be-
fore it was held: when it is re-
membered that the Republican plu-
rality was 81, 160 in the State cleo
tion of 1904, "a, 1872 in 1900, and 49,
377 in 1896. a faI! below 20, 900 would
have to be considered encouraging
to the opposition party, while any
thing below 10, 900 would be count
ed as more or less srrious Bepub-
lican reverse" AS the Republican
plurality was only 5000 they have
met a serious reverse and the DEM
ocrats are more than encouraged
Of course, the Republicans will at
tempt to account for the result in
Maine on all sorts Of preteXts, but
they may as we'll face the stubborn
facts, which are tk.t that the peo-
pie have lost all faith in the Repub-
lican party and have determined to
make change in the adminiStra-
ton Of affairs.

Favorable to the Democrats.

in presidential years always have
been eagerly anticipated, and the
result has been accepted as indica-
tive at least Of Republican euthusi-
asm or the want Of it throughout
the country. The result in the past
of the Maine election in September
has been q pretty accurate forecast
Of what the country would do in the
presidential election in the Novem-
ber following. A prominent Republi-
can paper said before the cleo
ton that the result of the
Name election will furnish some
indication of the extent to which the
resistance to Mr.. Bryan's candidacy
may have lessened. Accepting this
as true, review Of the Maine elec-
tion figures for the last twelve years
will be interesting.
In the election Monday the Re
publicans carried the State by plu-
rality of 5000. Now let US COM
pare this with their pluralities in
other presidential years since Bry-
an has been a leader Of the Demo-
cratic party. In 1896. when Bryan
was candidate for President for
the first time, the Republicans had
a plurality in the September elec-
tion in Maine of 48,377. In 1900
when Bryan ran the second time the
Republicans had a plurality in Sep
tember of "a, 1872. and in 1904, when
Judge Alton B. Parker was the
Democratic presidential candidate,
they carried the State in September
by 27, 16O plurality. In the election
Just held, as stated above, the Re-
publicans only had a plurality of g.
QUO, which is 4,503 less than they
had in the September election OF
1892, when Cleveland was elected
President
The vote Monday was the largest
polled in the State in many years,
b ing nearly 100000, against 1884,
$50 in 1904. This shows difference
OF 1880 votes over the vote OF
1904. The gains were entirely with
the Democrats, that party increas-
ing it's vote l5,577, while the Repub-
lican vote fell off 3.2l7. This is sig-
niicant as it shows an enthusiasm
on the part of the Democrats and a
luke warmness on the part OF the
Republicans. A dispatcn from
Portland, Maine, says the result was
much closer than any of the Repub-
llcan leaders had anticipated. They
hoped and expected t at th' ir pi1t'
would make a better showing, but
t,ey have been very much disap-
pointed in the vote, which indicates
tnat Bryan will be the next Presi,
dent.
The result Of the election this
wear shows that the resistance to
the candidacy of Mr.. Bryan is one
third less than it was to Grover
Cleveland in 1892, when he was
elected President by q landslide; it
shows five-sixths less resistance to
Mr.. Bryans candidacy this year than
it did in 1896, and nearly four-ffths
less than 1T did in 1900. This shows
how Mr.. Bryan has grown on the
people of the country in the last
twelve years. We have no doubt
but that the Maine figures are true
forecast Of the balance of the conu-
try, and indicates that Mr.. Bryan
will win a grand victory in Novcm-
brr for the people against the trusts
and corporations. We believe now
more than ever that this is a Dem
ocratic year.
