OUR NEW YORE LETTER
Weekly Letter on the v
New York Situation by
V Hon. Henry M. McDonald.
New York, Sept. 10. Editor Inde
pendent: During the past -week the
following people's party state ticket
has been selected for the state of New
York: Governor, Alfred J. Boulton of
Brooklyn. Mr. Boulton, who is ex
ceedingly prominent in labor circles,
having filled at different times the
principal offices connected with the
Federation of Labor, was in 19C3 the
candidate, upon the citizen s union
ticket, for county clerk for Kings
county. In a total vote of 210,S3G (a
vote greater than that polled for Jus
tice of the supreme court in Nebraska
the same year) Mr. Boulton ran about
7,000 votes ahead of Mr. Low, candi
date for mayor, who received 101,251
votes in Kings county; the larger vote
received by Mr. Boulton than that
polled by Mr. Low indicates the for
mer gentleman's great popularity. I
belieye that no stronger nominee could
have been named for the head of the
ticket.
Mr. Charles J. Spaulding, the nom
inee for lieutenant governor, is a lead
ing merchant of Buffalo, N. Y. Mr.
Orsen L. Drew, nominee for secretary
of state, is an attorney of standing
of Rochester. Mr. Drew has always
been very active in radical "movements,
nnd secured for the liberal democratic
ticket in his ward alone over 300
voles in 1902. Mr. Louis Manz, nom
inee for comptroller, is a leading opti
cal manufacturer, also of Rochester.
Mr. Manz has always been prominent
ly identified with the people's party.
The nominee for treasurer, Mr. Frank
S, Rose, is prominent in labor circles,
being the president of the Iron Mould
er's union of Albany. Mr. John F.
Gaffney of Utia, nominee for attorney
general, is a leading attorney in that
city, having for several years served
as city Judge. Mr. Simon G. Levy of
New York city, nominee' for state en
gineer, is a business man of standing,
who has for more than twenty years
been prominently identified with the
single tax organizations of New York.
Edward N. Heath of Buffalo and Au
gustus Babcock of Binghamton, nom
inees . respectively for chief Judge of
the court of appeals and associate judge
of that court, are attorneys of ability
and extensive practice In their respec
tive cities. William A. Coakley of New
York city, one of the electors as large,
is president of the Lithographic union,
and a gentleman of great influence in
labor circles. Marius G. Martyn, the
other nominee for elector at large, is
a furniture manufacturer of James
town, N. Y. Mr. Martyn is a gentle
man of the highest reputation in busi
ness circles. The remaining thirty
seven 'electors, representing the several
congressional districts in the state, are
gentlemen of excellent standing, every
one of whom, owing to the esteem with
which he is regarded in their several
localities, will attract votes to the
people's party ticket. Great credit
should be given to Mr. M. A. Palliser of
this city, Judge Samuel S'eabury of the
city court of New YorK, and Mr. J. W.
Forrest of Albany to whom the selec
tion of the state ticket was entrusted,
for the great wisdom they have dis
played in making up the ticket.
During the past week the organiza
tion of the different counties through
out the state in the interest of the
people's party, has been vigorously
pressed. The greater, portion of the
counties have already been organized,
and in many counties organization by
assembly and election districts, is now
being actively undertaken. In fact,
every possible preparation i3 being
made for a vigorous, active and ef
ficient canvass of the state. I am well
Justified in saying that measured by
membership and resources, the people's
party of the state of New York is
doing much more in the way of careful
canvass than either the republican or
democratic parties.
Referring to the condition of the
democratic campaign in the state, I
may say that the vote in Vermont on
Tuesday last greatly discouraged the
democratic managers, both at national
and state headquarters. These gentle
men had fully expected to keep the re
publican plurality in Vermont below
25,000. Great was their chagrin when
the Wednesday morning's papers anr
nounced that the republican plurality
was 32,500, being 244 votes greater
than' that obtained by McKInley over
Bryan in 1900.
Respecting the feeling at national
democratic headquarters, I think I am
Justified in saying that at least three
fourths of the democratic executive
committee have ' given up - hope of
electing Mr. Parker. There is no en
thusiasm whatsoever, over; the candi-
Bltfelow's Sermon
. , Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 11. At the
Vine Street Congregational church,
today, the pastor, Herbert S. Bigelow,
discussed the Scriptural injunction to
take no thought for the morrow. Mr.
Bigelow said in part:
"If one were going to preach a ser
mon on the. duty of forethought and
thrift, On the duty of taking thought
for the morrow, he could hardly do bet
ter than use these same illustrations.
"Behold the fowls of the air! They
do sow and they reap and gather into
barns, and not a lazy sparrow of them
waits for a father's dole of food.
Consider how the lilies grow. What
marvelous industry is theirs! ' Gath

weaving .them, with threads of sun
light, into garments of white and gold!
"Take no thought for-the morrow?
The squirrel Is wiser, munching his
winter's store. The ants would laugh
at that philosophy. You could not
teach it to the bees.
On the wood pile, picking his way
from chip to chip, was a great, green

stick to strike him, exclaiming, 'He

They next morning they beheld a won
dious sight.
"Already this toiler had half cov
ered himself with strands of silk, and
reaching out in all directions to the
sides of the jar were - threads like guy
ropes holding his building in 'place.
There was no sound of hammer, and
no motion that the eye could see. Yet
a mighty work was in progress. The
jar. presented -that appearance of pur
poseful confusion such as one sees
about the works of man, when beams
and rafters and scaffolding and ropes
and cranes make a hopeless tangle.
Thread on thread, a line here and a
line there ropes and props and sup
ports, a veritable maze of them, and
out of this seeming disorder the struc
ture grew, as though there were an in
telligence there which knew the rea
son for every thread and a million un
seen hands to do the work. 'In the
sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread.'
This was not a curse Invented for
men. It is a beneficent law which cm-
braces the universe.
"What did Jesus mean? Doubtless
he meant that man ought not to labor,
save in the way that the birds and the
lilies labor. And how is that?
"Consider the lillea, how they grow.
They do not grow pale spinning for
others. They toll, but their toll is not
a curse. You see no anxienty in their
faces because they are not afraid of
going to the poorhouse. You see no
arrogant and no hatred becauao there
la no slavery among them. They 'do
their work In peace and fill tho world
with beauty whllo they live. So with
tho birds. They build houae and gath
er food. The differruc between man
and the bird la not that man worU

ence Is that all bird work, but among
men. Home live in Idleness and others
do double work.

date. The much heralded convention
of democratic editors, who Mr. Jose
phus Daniels, chairman of the commit
tee of arrangements for the convention,
states number 5,100 throughout the
United States, and to all of whom an
invitation to attend the convention at
the expense of the national committee
was given, assembled to the amazing
number of from 74 to 231, according to
the reports of different New York pa
pers. A banker friend of mine, with
whom I am well acquainted, told me
that he had been a spectator at the
banquet, at which Colonel Watterson
of the Louisville Journal, and other
leading democratic editors spoke, and
that "it was the greatest frost that he
ever knew; that there was an utter
lack of enthusiasm, and that he (by
the way a democrat) was thoroughly
Convinced that Parker would be very
badly beaten by Roosevelt.
Although early in the campaign, the
democratic managers are showing some
indication of a panicky feeling. For
example, they have hired an additional
floor in the building which the nation
al committee occupies, apparently for
the sole purpose of having desk room
to which they can assign Bryan men
who are inclined to support the peo
ple's party, but whose financial condi
tion is. such as to lead them to con
sent to be placed on the democratic
headquarters' pay-roll, on the under
standing that they will be only called
on for nominal services.. I am glad,
however, to say that the democratic
managers have not in this way suc
ceeded in capturing any Watson men
of influence. As a further indication,
of alarm on the part of the democratic
magnates, I may say that although a
semi-official announcement was made
some twenty days ago to the effect that
Judge Parker would not deliver any
speeches in the campaign, the party
managers are bringing great pressure
upon him to deliver a dozen or more
speeches, the m'ajority of them in this
state. He is also being urged to open
headquarters in New York in order
that he can give close personal atten
tion to the campaign.
As further indicating the feeling of
hopelessness on the part of the demo
crats, the New York Times of this
morning closes an editorial in which
the absolute necessity of the nomina
tion" by the democrats of a strong can
didate for governor is urged with the
words, "let us at least save New York."
The fact is, Judge Parker is today a
much weaker candidate than the day
he was nominated. His nomination
was a blunder, since he is a gentleman,
who lacks stamina and initiative be
sides the men who were most active In
securing his nomination and who are
now closest to him in managing his
canvass, very greatly discredit his can
didacy in the mirids of many thinking
people. . His speech of acceptance of
the nomination was weak and showed
him to be a man without decided opin
ions of his own upon public questions
of the highest importance.
In brief, the voters of the country
are coming to know that Judge Parker
is absolutely a weak man, and if elect
ed president, would give the country
an administration dominated to a great
extent by what may be termed political
rounders of the Hill, Taggert, Sheehan
and McCarren stripe. The plain peo
ple of the country want nothing of this
kind, and consequently . will, in my
judgment, give Mr. Parker a million or
more less votes than Mr. Bryan in
1900. This million or more votes will
be cast for Watson and Tibbies, whose
ability and sincerity, together with the
clear cut- statements of the people's
party platform, making for the inter
ests of the people as they do, command,
the respect of the voters of the land,
and will consequently more and more
successfully appeal for their franchises.
During the-past week the-people's
party ticket for the state of Connecti
cut has been completed the nominees
being in all instances men of ability
and high character. As indicating the
drift of sentiment in that state, Henry
C. Dissell of West Hartford for many
years a member of the democratic
state committee of that state, has come
out for the people's party national and
state tickets. ..
The people's party in New Jersey
hold a convention at Atlantie City to
day, at which a full state and electoral
ticket will be nominated. I am told
that the managers of the party in that
state have already obtained an enroll-1'
ment of over 100,000 radicals.
Your readers will therefore see that
tne work of organization and canvass
ing is now being pushed vigorously
throughout the' east. !

Those Eastern Cranks
The description given to an Asso
ciated Press correspondent of the New
York cranks seems to have caused a
good deal of editorial comment in the
plutocratic press. Aa article in the
Baltimore News brought the following
from a local populist there:
"lothe Editor of the News: in
our editorial 'Mr. Tibbies and New
York Cranks' 'you suggest that the
candidate for the vice presidency or
the people's party would have check
mated the cranks in their financial on
slaughts by proposing to them his fi
nancial program for the nation.
"Very witty, to be sure, nut sup
pose Mr. Tibbies should retaliate by
propos?r.g that the democrats state
their own position on the money ques
tion before criticising his?
"So far as known up to date, the
demon ts stand as follows on the
money question:
"1. For the gold standard and bond
issues (Cleveland).
2. For free coinage of silver, or bi
metallism (189G and 1900).
3. For the proposition that the mon
ey question is 'settled' (1904).
"Which one of these Is the real dem
ocratic position?
"Again, the populist position on the
money question (which H that the
government should issue all the mon
ey, without the Intervention of banks)
may be 'cranky.' but It compares quite
favorably with tho Cleveland program,
whUh consisted, In a nut t;hell, of the
following;
"1. To Issue loud In order to Rd
gold; .then to pay out the gold for
greenbacks. This process repeated ad
Infinitum.
"2. Incidentally, to pay a 'premium'
or 'velvet to the banker on rath
transaction.
"if the .populist pofiitkm on the
money question I J absurd enough to
eauxtt mirth, surt ly the Cleveland plan
would meet with great approbation In
a lunntle asylum, anil that li where
any toislne man who attempted to
run M bu.tltterii cm such a plan would
be put by hU frlendi.
