ROOSEVELT, BIG BOSS.

Col. Roosevelt, in his appeals to the
people everywhere, is voluble in dc,
nouncing the bosses, In his teIc.
graphic letter TO Col. C.. t. Loose, Ma.
tional Republican Committeeman for
Utah. the same appeal is carried.
"Down with the bosses and support
me- is the tenor Of his whole plea
and argument.
1t is manifest, however, that In this
Roosevelt is simply striving to make
himself the big boss of all. No man
III this country has ever heretofore ap,
pealcd so furiousIy, so cgotistically,
and so dlctatorially for the privilege
of bossship as Roosevelt has done. He
demands to be considered as the spe-
clal representative Of the plain people
and vet the big trusts, the Steel Trust.
the Harvester Trust, are not only for
him viciously, openly. shsmclcssly, he
is their special candidate and pet.
There has never been Presidential
candidate upon whom money was spent
with ANYTHING like the lavishncss that
money is now being spent in the cause
Of Col. Roosevelt. A good deal of out
cry was made because Senator stephen.
son of Wisconsin spent 100000 TO cap.
ture 100000 votes. But. in the county
Of New York there was spent in the
Roosevelt interest 81 900 on an en-
rolled party electorate of $4,000.
Stephenson spent less than at a rate
a InHr IN, Er
can vote Of Wisconsin,; but In Hoosc.
Welt S interest, almost dollar vote
was spent III the primaries in NcT
York, SO that, if Stephenson is to be
damned for lavish expenditure of mon
~ at elections, Roosevelt should nc
doublv damned for much greater
uroportionatc expenditure.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

The Democratic State Convention
held in this city on Tuesday was more
than ordinarily enthusiastic and well
attended. Great opportunities were
afforded to the speakers TO gloat over
the apparent disruption Of the Rcpub.
hcan party by Col. Roosevelt, and
State Chairman Thurman did not fail
to gloat accordingly. It was fair
shot. however, and no fault is to be
found with it. The Republican party

campaign of 1880, when friends of
General Grant. unwiSelv for him,
pushed MS name as candidate for
third term. The party, however, re.
covered from the disruption that was
threatened AT that time, and il is quite
within the boundaries of proba bility
that it will recover again this year
from 4 Ike inharmony.
The proceedings of the convention
were sprited, and there was a hope
unanimously expressed of Democratic
victory this year, not, however. by
reason of any special attractiyeness in
Democracy or Democratic principles,
but all by reason Of the assumed dis
ruption of the Republican forces.
Tho delegates were uninstructcd
which in itself tended to harmony, as
there probably would have been earn.
