REPUBLICAN DUTY.
A month ago we had tho nerve to
predict that Roosevelt would carry
Nebraska by fifty thousand and
Platto coanty by five hundred. The
democratic papers now admit on all
sides that Roosevelt's plurality in the
state will be fifty thousand or more.
They have aot yet conceded Platte
county, but it takes time to convince
democratic editors. It took time to
coaviace some of thorn that tho gold
standard was a good thing and that
Oar Beloved Bryan was either off his
net or dishonest in his free silver
shoutings.
If there is no other argument that
will coaviace our Jacksonian brethren
of Roosevelt's ability to carry Platte
ooaaty. we must wait for tho election
returns. The fact that tho republican
have never made a determined and
harmonious campaign in this coanty
baa led to the opinion that there is an
invincible majority of seven or eight
hundred againt them. This year the
republicans of Platte county are unit
ed aad determined. .Evorythinc is in
our favor. Tho real democratic ma
jority is not half of what it has been
supposed to be. and with tho donhlo
assistance of the national ticket and
strong local candidates it can be over
come. It will mean work, vigorous
and united work, but it can be done.
We hope to be able to mako cood on
our Platte county forecast, as well as
on the state resalt. It depends on the
republicans of Platte county. 'Enough
democrats are already in line for
Roosevelt and for an honest and
capable county administration.

say that more than three millon of
oar fellow toilers throughout the
country are without employment aad
have been so since the time aamed.
In lSitT, after tho inauguration of

in the wages involves a dimiautioa ia

quently a proportional decrease ia pro

the hours of labor reduced or at least
maintained."

tend to make high prices for the pro

ily reduce tho wages of labor.
Labor unions have grown ia

because thero has been work for every
man who desired to work, aad the
wage-earners have been able to organ

even the democratic advance toward

Parker's Acceptance.
Judge Parker, in hia speech of ao
reutance, did not add to the aam total
of human knowledge concerning hia
position as a democrat who ia better
and more courageous tbaa bis party,
ilo thanked tho committee oa notifi
cation for the confidence shown by
tbe convention in not reconsidering
bin nomination after be had telegraph
ed that ho considered the gold stand
ard as irrevocably fixed by law. This
was substantially an nnpology for that
telogrum. The Ju-Jge did not further
offend the Brran wing of the party by
reiteratinir his conviction regarding
tho stability of the gold standard law.
or by xpanilinc nls views on the
financial question. lie rested on his
telegram and in all other things fol
lowed tbe motto of bis political men
tor. David B. Hill.' 'I am a democrat."
He is a democrat on the labor ques

that policy that they need not fear
for the republican senate will protect
the country from such a democratic
policy during hta incumbency of of floe
if he' should be elected and he gives
farther assurance bv declaring that he
will not ba a candidate for reelection
so ns to endanger the future by con
tinning a democratic administration
after a republican senate may have
bcn removed as a "brake on free trade.
Ia fact Judge Parker takes ao defi
nite stand on any question beyond that
of assuring his party that he ia a
democrat now as he was ia 1896 aad
1'JOO, notwithstanding his offense ia
sending n telegram to the coaveatioa
stating that be believed the gold stan
dard law irrevocable, after that con
vention had deliberately refused to
adopt that position.
Judge Parker straddled every ques
tion at tbe iEsue which he discussed
and did not even mention that most
recent democratic if sue regarding the
Panama Canal which Gorraaa raised
in the United States Senate last win
ter by holding up the treaty with
Panama and accasin g tbe administra
tion of irregularity and complicity ia
tbe revolution on tbe Isthmus. Bid
tho candidate consult Senator Gor
man and follow his advice ia thia
silence or did he find it impossible to
straddle the Panama Canal like an
other Colossus of Rhodes?

of acceptance has been to emphasize
