There is no denying the fact that
the democratic leaders have thrown up
the sponge and are willing to call .the
fight off. Every leading democratic
paper in New York practically concedes
that Parker is defeated. They are giv
ing various reasons for the tad state
of affairs, but all avoid the one great
and overpowering cause of the slump
in democratic stock. ' The truth is that
the populists knocked Parker out with
their Cooper Union meeting. The pop
ulists just rose up and "swatted" him
on account of his gold standard tele
gram, and his , spongers and trainers
have never been able to revive him
enough so that he can stand, unas
sisted, on his feet. The New York
editors all know that, but they won't
even mention it. A visit to Wall
street and an interview given out by
one long-haired, wild-eyed and cranky
pop, went a long way toward over
throwing the schemes of that end of
Wall street that claimed to have the
only "safe and sane" politicians in the
whole Unifed States.
In 1896 and 1900 the democratic par
ty bound itself by the most solemn
oaths to "unalterably" oppose the gold
standard, and in 1904, without blinking
an eye, declared the gold standard was
"irrevocably"., established, and their
"unalterable" opposition was altered
in a hurry.
' The czar has appointed Senator Plat
onoff to the place made vacant by the
assassination of his minister of the
Interior. How long he holds his place
may be determined by the way he ad
ministers his office, or it may depend
upon what the nihilists think of him.
If they don't, like him, he may vacate
the office as suddenly as his predeces
sor." ; '" - ' "J;
The Japs have driven the Russians
away from the biggest coal mines in all
Asia and taken possession of them.
Now if they will only capture Baer and
put him in charge of them, they "can
get a revenue large enough to run a
war for a hundred years.
Fairbanks is the great republican
spellbinder of this campaign, but so
far the national committee has not
been able to induce any newspaper to
publish one of the great spellbinder's
epeeches. Watson's speeches have
been printed in hundreds of little week
, lies and there is a demand at the pop
ulist national headquarters for nearly
a mill ion1 more which can not be fur
nished because the committee has no
money for postage or to pay for print
ing. You stingy old pop that howled so
about ten cent corn and high freight
rates, you had better go down into
yourbreeches for a few dollars, or you
will get it in the neck again in the
near future, and if you do, you will
get no pity from anyone.
Therepublicans are very much dis
gusted at the barbecues that the pop
ulists are holding. They say it is an
appeal to the stomach. Well it is an
honest appeal. When the republicans
marched some hundreds through the
streets of Lincoln carrying dinner pails
under a banner Inscribed: "Four more
years of the full dinner pail," the
whole thing wasafraudheJiniia
as empty then, as they are likely to
be next winter. Some of them had a
little piece of Wienerwurst jammed un
der the lid so as to show outside and
the remainder of the pail vas as empty
as the stomachs of those 9.000 men that
the Harvester trust discharged, the
other day will be next winter. When
ever the populists announce a roast
ox, the roasted ox will be there and
not empty dinner pails
Senor Atillio Bruniallo, the Italian
councilor of state, at the meeting of
the science congress at St. Louis, bald:
"The problems of constitutional law
are justice and the welfare of human
beings." AH of which sounds very
much like the "paramount Issue" de
scribed In the letter of acceptance

At the meeting of the National Hank

The deadest spot In all the held of
politics this year in Ohio. Since Mc
Lean and the republicans have got un
der the one banner of the gold stand
ard, there is peace from the lakes to
the Ohio river.' Unless Tom Watson
concludes to make a speech or two in
the state the silence will not be bioken.
When Tom Johnson announced his
adherence to Parker, the reformers
folded their banners-and silently dis
appeared to rally again only when an
other leader comes Upon the scene who
they believe wilL never surrender to
Wall street. Tom Johnson's glory has
forever passed away.
The. democrats engaged' in the re
organizing as soon as the polls were
closed after the election of 1900. They
finished up the first job at tae close
of the St. Louis convention. Hut they
were just getting their hands in at that
erort of work. The other day they went
at it again with Parker as chief di
rector in New York city. This last
reorganization put- Gorman on the
bridge of the old hulk, Belmont at the
wheel and Bryan in the stock hole.
But that is not to be the last of it.
When the election is over, Bryan 3ays
that he is going into the business him
self and attempt another reorganiza
tion.
The republican spellbinders are go
ing through the land all declaring that
the republican party has kept every
pledge that it ever made. It never
made any pledges except to Wall street
and no one deniesthat It has sacredly
kept.evgiv.one pf tlms. ?to:i wbt.
air on that subject. :
The Denver Forum, in d.sciibing
Bryan's speech in that city, say3; ' His
blows lacked steam, the bid grand rush
of oratory was hot there," and it adds:
"Many of Bryan's friends were not at
the meeting, and he was so hedged
about-by Cleveland democrats white in
the city that many respectable people
did not care to see him."
Van Alen, the noodle-headed dude
who inherited millions, wanted to go
as ambassador to some foreign ccin
try and he contributed $50,000 co Uro
ver Cleveland's campaign fund, Cleve
land appointed him, but the disgrace
was , so great that the uproar pene
trated to every part of the country and
the appointment had to be revoked.
The other day Van Alen became a
British subject, declaring that America
was too yubjar a country for a gen
tleman to live in. He will go to Eng
land and along with William Waldorf
Astor, draw millions of dollars Irom
this country to maintain his magnifi
cence there, every dollar of which, will
be earned by the toil of the poor crea
tures who will continue to vote for the
Cleveland democracy and ItooKtvoit
republicans. ' '

- In the merger trust suit, every dem
ocrat on the supreme bench stood by
the trusts. At the time the utciaion
crats excused the action because all
these democratic judges belonged to
the reorganizer faction. Now tbat fac
tion is the democratic party. Those
are the men who will rule its destines
for the next four years. The principles
and policies of the democratic patty
are irrevocably fixed for that lehgth
of time. Gorman is on the bridge of
the old democratic ship, Ceiuiout at
tho wheel and Parker in the chart
room, and Uryan in the stoke hole. If
the ship changes its course even one
point during the next four years tnc
orders must como from the man on
the bridge, not from the fellow m the
stoke hole.
The magazine writers in dilktante
articles condemning the trusts and the
political roign of the dollar, ta.k about
such a condition as "benevc-K-nt feu
