If you coulll analyze his case and those

Party Odium Under j"Dckllon.
H Jefferson was the founder of De-
mocrncy Jackson is its patron "aint. Af-
ter the Jeffersonian period , 1801-2 : ; , came
m the Jncksoninn , iS ° ; i-40. : ; The signifi-
cance ot the- Jackson era or Democracy
lies in the fact that he was able to build
a machine from the rabble or the less .
educated classes , that enabled him act
unlly to assert his Claims in conflict with
the Constitution and against the idea
or Republiemism. He assumed a position -
tion between Congress and the people , as
it were ; as a patriarchal ruler of the re-
public. 'Tho ' curse or Jackson's administration -
ministration : was that it weakened respect -
spect for Il.w. The first clear symptom :
of the decline of a healthy political spirit
was the election and re-election of J'ck-
lion to the Presidency. His administration -
tion paved a broad way for the demor-
nlizing transformation or the American
people. Under Jackson , politics were
vulgarized and American society was deprived -
prit'el of its rightful influence over gov-
em anent.
Partisans , Not atriob.
The twenty years from the defeat or
Can Buren in StO to the defeat of
Douglas in 18GO brought additional dis-
. . ester and odium upon Democratic :111.
nistr\tion. The strength of the party
. has always rested in the Solid South , ;
and the uneducated riffraff of our great
cities. During the years mentioned the
Southern Democrnc llursued a policy or
territorial expansion , notou't , oC patriotic
or broad motives , but for the sole pur-
pose of increasing the number or slave
States , and thus preserve the sectional
balance in the Senate. These years are
memorable in history for the struggle ;
for territorial acquisition , the struggle ;
over the Wilmot Proviso , the Compro-
mise of sO ; : ; , the repeal of the Missouri :
Compromise , for the Ion , ; agonyin Kan-
sas , for the sensational Dred Scott decision -
cision , and for the reconstruction of the
party on strictly sectional lines.
Rapid : \Iornl1Jccay.
During all these . ' ' -
weighty : bistor-m3k-
ing years , the Democratic party : was
the : willing accomplice of the Southern
, .
, JI'
lIave-bolder in his efrom > to perpetunttt
: hp institution of human slavery and to
xtellll slave labor at the expense of free
\oor. The sacrifice or principle .eces-
l iated by this relationship led to rapid
leeay. The party ceased to produce
great leaders. Men of conscience ( and
: ournJe ; , like Thomas H. Benton , left
,1. The significance of this period is the
: lIustration it gives ; of the disastrous re-
sults of a betrayal of principles , to the
morals , honor and usefulness of a party.
rue people have not trusted the Demo-
: ratic party since , except during the two
grief ; nightmares or the Cleveland ad-
ministrations.
Party' kamcfnl Record.
Founded on the wrong side of moral
and political ethics , it spent the first
sixty years of iti existence along the
lines of a.ggrandizement and narrow
partisan le islatill. ( While proCessing
in its platform to be the friend or the
masses , it perlii3tenly enacted laws
which bound them to penury : and dis-
tress. While publicly advocating a
broad , Intelligent citizenship , it voted
against individual freedom. While beat-
ing the tom-toms for prosperity : to the
people , it voted against cheap postage ,
the Homestead law , tnd the Resumption
If iJfccie Pi 'ment. Claiming to be in
favor or a higher standard of living for
the Tforkin man , it enacted free-trnde
measures which sent him into indefinite ,
enforced idleness , and reduced him and
his family to the level of the pauper
labor of Europe Professing the utmost
patriotism , it gave all possible aid to
the robellion.
Some Comparisons.
Contrasted with the grand old Repub-
liean party : the one abolished slavery ,
the other upheld it to the last ; the one
put down the rebellion , the other sup-
ported the rebellion ; the one preserved
the National faith and credit , and paid
the National debt the other ' '
, tried every
scheme and expedient to sN.lltify the republic -
public and avoid the debt ; the one pre-
served the standard of value unchanged ,
tlll other sought to tamper with it and
destroy it.
Gets Worse Instead of Bettcr.
rhe profession and promises of the
Democratic party , during ; the past forty-
three years , and the absence of nil ller-
fermance arc as notorious ns eYer. They :
show the lack of ideas , or purpose , but
abound in hypocritical dogmas and
flatulent pretenses. It has "I'eyersel }

During Cle\'eland's administration : our
National debt increased a half million
dollars a day in the face of the IlnrtJ."s :
promise or better times. Each day we
lost half a million dollars in foreign
trade. During that administration the
value of farm products decreased more
than fire hundred million dollars. Dis-
trust and panic paralyzed the great industrial -
dustrial system , of the country. Banks
closed their doors ; business houses assigned -
signed ; the balance of trade was against
us ; capital withdrew from the fields of
leitimate enterprise into secret places ;
labor was forced into unwilling idleness ;
we bad deserted mills , smokeless factories -
ries , silent machinery. 'Ye had : tramps
and beggars , industrial armies , starving
women and children. Two million n1lle-
bodied men were Legging for work-
the opportunity to earn bread for their
starving families
Unworthy of Exlstenca
This happened during the administration -
tion ot the Democratic part which dur-
ing fifty years has added nothing to
progress , nothing to the cause or liberty ,
nothing / to freedom , nothing to the glory
of our common country. This is the
part that , no matter what it promises ,
always goes into partnership with calam-
it , } ' . It feeds on disaster and fattens on
despair. The only time it has had con-
trol of this country during this gener-
ation , it shut the doors of industry and
clothed labor in r:1gs. It fought under
the dishonored banner of free silver , it
opposed keeping our flag / l11 the Orient , I
and advocated that it be lowered in
I
retreat md trailed in the dust of dis- ,
honor. Such is a part of the record of
the party of calamity , professions and
promises-tbe oft-defen , discouraged
disorganized , disgraced : , divided , decrepit
oM Democratic , party. It stands today
without an issue , without a principle ,
without a policy ; ' " " without a platform ,
without a leader and without ! mope.
In closing we quote S. E. Kisc , of
the Nebraska Independent , who puts
these words in Br 'an's mOlith as regards
Parker and his part :

EDUCATION IN POLITICS
Parker Ta1k. of lt : : , hut Relles on the
8trenltth of TammDn
Judge Parker says this :
11ene\'e1' a great question of public
importance has arisen , it has been presented .
8entell and cbampioned through the press
and on the rostrunm hy the educated
thinkers ! of the country who , for the
tunic being , are the real lender , and
trader whose banners the organization !
leaders hasten to mar hal their forces
lest their power shall he o\'erthrown.
'hut Judge Parker has . said above
is true and right and scusible. : : But
what , after the expression of such nn
opinion , is Judge Parker's course ? It is i
very true that the educated thinkers
of the commtry should conduct the affairs -
fairs or the countJ. , . But what is Judge )
Parker doing ? Upon what and whoa
does Judge ! Parker rely for carrying the
State of New York ; one of the ,8tltes ,
the influence of whose electoral cotes is
great in the results of the Presidential
campain. ! He relies upon nil un - American -
iem combination known as Tammany
Unll. It is absolutely impossible that
the man could hope to carry : his own
State without the aid of this , most cor-
rupt orgmizntion , , ' in the greatest city : '
oC the country-an organization that has
simply become nn enormous fester upon
the State in which it exists. But it has
been accepted in all exigencies , by the
Democratic party , which. to the credit of
that party , is a : little above Tammany.
How ridiculous , under the circumstances -
stances , is the attitude ot the more or
less qualified jurist who lives in Eso-
pus ! Think of a man who even talks
of the influence of the educated man in
politics and who at the same time must
depend entirely for his success , in the
State of New York , upon a couglomera ! -
tion of the most uneducated find"icious
elements ever gathered together ! in the
making of a political pool in a great
city. It is hard to say it , hut \lr. Parker -
er cnnnot even afford to be respectable
in his c."lIlanations. He cannot afford
to talk about educated people or about
educated influence back of him , or about
nil that is good and broad and culti-
\'ntetJ back of him because , without
Tammany hack of him in his own State
he bas not the shadow of a hope , and
Tammany is the worst force there is
pelWcally-n discredit to the country. I
This isthe nub of the thing. This is I
I
.
the statement oC the thing. If this respectable -
srJeetnhle jurist ! up in Esopmts pretends to
say that the educated human beings in
this. country can , under any circumstances -
stances : : , be with him , whJ' , necessarily ,
he must cut himself awayfromm 'nll1-

to cut himself away ; from ' :11111Qln---

Parker Is thc Hope of Trnsts.
( New York Tribune. )
James J. Hill's selection or Judge
Parker ns his candidate is si nificant.
He is angry ! with President Roosevelt
simply : md solely for interfering with
his lawless schemes to monopolize the
railway : : traffic ot : the Xorthwe..t. He
turns to Democracy and Judge Parker
because he sees in them license to work
his sovereign and imperious will in the
domain ot business without restraint on
the part of the government. And \Ir.
J. J. Hill is an ble , experienced , hard
headed man , who knows what he is
about. lIe is not in the habit of buying
gold bricks.
During the last Democratic adminis-
tration the government borrowed hundreds -
dreds ot millions oC dollars during a time
or profound peace , to pay current ex-
penses. During the McKinley administration -
tration it prosecuted a foreign war to
a successful conclusion without borrow-
ing a cent , and since the war closed nIl
of the War taxes hate been .removed.
WHO WE 1
, SHAUWE , HIRE
An Untried Ian , or One Who Has
Made a Good Record.
The good results of the affairs of a
nation depend nlmo"t absolutely upon I
its relations with other nation ! There
is , under the present condition ot thought
and affairs , an adwnncenment in the
worlll-n community or nations. The
one among those nations which exhibits
the greatest honest and tact and com-
mon sense , is the nation which will
be to the fore.
Under the administration of the party
that is now controlling the affairs ot
the Lnitell States has occurred such extraordinary
traoroinarr diplomatic success as has
perhaps never been excelled by any na-
tion at any time. This success has accrued -
crued because or the tact and sense ot
the present President of the United
States , assisted by his Secretary at
State. The record bas been something
extraordinary , and aU the civilized worlll
has recognized it.
Tact and sense are just ns much a
requisite in the conduct ot the affairs
ot a nation n'3 they arc in the affairs
of a corporation 01' nn individnal. 'Ye
reward those who exhibit tact and sense
. by continuing them in place , for our
own benefit. The conclusion : need hardly
be expresetl. , ; Any American citizen ot
intelligence will know whom to vote for
this fall.
Cannot Be Trusted.
( Albany ( X. Y. ) Journn1. )
The people of this country have learn-
ed by sad experience that no matter who
is the individual to lead the Democratic
party in the national conflict , they cannot
trust the Democratic party when in
power to do the right thing at the right
time.

When the hitter personal attacks 0:1

the inevitable reply : is that "Roosevelt
