SENATOR FAIRBANKS' REPLY. "I accept the commission which you bring with a profound sense of the dignity and responsibilities of the exalted position for which I have been nominated. My utmost endeavor will be to discharge in full measure the trust, if the action of the convention shall meet the approval of the American people." The above is the expression of a dignified gentleman, a great statesman and a patriotic citizen.. The dignity and modesty of this expression are characteristic of the man who received "the unsolicited and unanimous nomination by the Republican party" at the Chicago convention. ' 1 ' The entire address is a comprehensive, though brief, summary of the policies of the Republican party. It is a positive statement of what the Republican party has done, and, by so doing, has "brought great honor and prosperity to our common country, and which, if continued, will bring us like blessings in the future." It is not only a scholarly and comprehensive statement of Republican policies, but it is a hopeful statement. The Republican party "preserved the integrity of the republic"- and as a party it is proud of a backward glance, once in awhile, but its chief aspiration is to meet the problems of the future and solve them in such a way that the whole people may be benefitted. The Republicans can point with pride and satisfaction to its record in recent years. Its record up to the present hour is a triumphant one because it has met bravely all the serious questions that have confronted it, and not only met them but settled them, some of them, for all time. Backward glances into history bring joy to the Republican partj. ,

"They have strangled the party to save the organization," said Bourke Cochran when the St. Louis platform was presented. Bourke Cochran is a level-headed politician and is able to "size up" the situation about right.

The South Dakota Democrats, in their last State convention, indorsed Parker and passed a resolution renewing their allegiance to Mr. Bryan. This means that the South Dakota Democrats have indorsed Parker and silver. ; :

WHAT BRYAN SAID

Declared Parker's Candidacy Represented Greed of Lawless Corporations. PARTY SURRENDERED TO WALL ST. Four Mcnths Ofd Utterancs cf "The Commoner" on the Origin and Purpose of the Candidacy of ths New Yorker Possible Effect of the E!2ction of a Candidate of the Trusts on the Character cf the Supreme Court. The issues of tae campaign of 1004 are denned not by the platform adopted at Saint Louis, which is meaningless, but by the candidate nominated for president, whose personality and associations are significant. The issue raised by the Saint Louis convention, dominated as it was by the Eel-mont-Hill interests, is this: Shall President Roosevelt be rebuked by the people of the United States for his interference in the anthracite coal strike and for his initiation of the Northern Securities prosecutions, at the dictation of the Wall street coterie, lor whom the president's activity in behalf of the people has made him an "unsafe" man? The origin of Mr. Parker's candidacy and the influences to which it is under, obligation for its triumph, are well understood. . They never have been better described than by William Jennings Bryan himself, when he wrote as follows in "The Commoner" of April 8th, 1904: "Mr. Cleveland's nomination Is out of the question, although he is the first choice of the plutocratic element in the Democratic party. Mr. Olney has removed himself by his advocacy of Mr. Cleveland's nomination, and Mr. Gorman's chances seem reduced to a minus quantity by his failure to secure the co-operation of the Democratic senators in his position on the Panama question. Mr. Hill is not a possibility, but he has taken up the candidacy of Judge Parker in the hope of making himself the "power behind the throne." As some of the Democrats are considering Judge Parker as a 'harmony' candidate, it is important that the real nature of his candidacy should be examined. Pie is first of all Mr. Hid s candidate, and that in itself would be sufficient to raise a suspicion in regard to his position on public questions. The Hon. David B. has a legislative record that enables us to easily ascertain his position on public questions a record so antagonistic to the Democratic party that he refused to give any open support to the ticket in 1896, and did not even disclose, until some two years after the election, how he voted. In a letter written shortly before the election he told a New', York Republican that he had not decided what he would do, concluding with the statement, T am a Democrat still very still.' "Mr. Hill has made himself the Champion of Mr. Parker in New York, and it is not likely that he would do this without having an understanding with Mr. Parker as to his own position with the administration. It can safely be taken for granted that In case of Judge Parker's nomination and election Mr. Hill would be the controlling figure in the administration, and that would mean that those who attempted to. reach the White House would have to wade through peanut shells knee deep. "Mr. Hill stands for everything bad that Mr. Cleveland stands for, and lacks the brutal frankness that has given Mr. Cleveland most of his popularity. But Mr. Hill's support, dangerous as it is, is not so detrimental to Judge Parker as the corporate support which is gradually gathering about him. The Washington Post recently described the situation as follows: " Tn the meantime Parker stock has been having a little boom. It is now almost generally conceded by Democrats here in Washington that he Is the most likely candidate. Many matters have taken shape to help him, although the attitude of the New York Democrats still worries the party leaders. Judge Parker so It is learned hero from men who are in close touch with the thought of the financial and business world has, through appropriate channels, given assurances that If nominated and elected president his administration will be conservative. He will see to It that the large Interests are fairly treated. This campaign of enlightenment from Judge Parker is described as progressing methodically, but with dignity. The Judge's attitude on many of the questions before the public are not well known, but, nonetheless, business men in high places are being acquainted authentically with his views in outline. '"The criticism of the magnates against Judge Parker has ber tha'. he had not been tested. The? cou'd not tell what he might do shou" t tby turn out and seek by heroic efforts o place him in the White Ho-'se. Should their efforts succeed, he might not, after all, be able to conduct 'a safe administration.' But there is distinctly a better feeling in business quarters toward him.' " "There is no doubt that the corporation interests have an understanding with Judge Parl er f.-.t x'chout such an understanding thry not think of supporting him. Th decision in the merger case shows how Important It Is, that president should be in sympathy with the people rather than

ra . sympathy with the corporations. I The three judges appointed by Mr. Cleveland dissented trom the opinion

of the court, a-J as Judge Holmes stoinl with theoi. it would only require one mere 3.1U to change the decision, ev2n Brewer's separata opinion does not already indicate the possibility of an adverse decision in another czzz. "It Judge Parker were nominated by the influence of the corporations and ! elected with the aid cf their cbntribuI tiens, is tncre any do "It that his ap pointees would Le corporation men? Can the Democratic party aord to lend inteif 10 a movement to so make up the supreme court as to nullify the efforts of the peoule at reform? To secure remedial legislation the people must have not only the house, the senate, the president, but the supreme court also, and as the members of the supreme court hold ofSco for life, that department of the government i3 hardest to change. As president Judge Parker might appoint one, two, or even thre3 supreme justices,, and his appointments might bar the way to reiici icr tea or fifteen years. Can the party a5ord to tal.e such a chance? Jude Parker has been before the country as a candidate for a year, and in all that time he has never expressed himself upon a single public question or indicated his views on a single issue. Can wa ailord to nominate a question mark? If so, we need not be surprised if the voters indulge in exclamations. "Democracy's contest with plutocracy is not a sham battle or a make believe fight. It is a terribly earnest struggle, and the decision in the merger case has pointed out with great distinctness the possible result of a : mistake in the selection of a candidate. There are hundreds of Democrats whose sympathies are with the masses of the people and whose opiniions are known when who have had more experience in political life than Judge Parker, and who would poll more votes on election day. Some of these men have been mentioned; others have not. Surely among those who have been proposed or might be proposed it is possible to fine someone who will give voice to the Democratic conscience, and lead a charge against the cohorts of organized and predatory wealth.. . "If iur. Parker were a man with a record, if his convictions were known and his position on public issues clearly defined, Mr. Hill's championiship of his cause might not be sufficient to entirely destroy his availability, but with his opinions unknown and his aspirations in the hands of Mr. Hill, it is not unfair to regard Mr. Hill as the keeper of his conscience, and who is so poorly qualified to keep anyone's conscience? The fact that Mr. Parker is an enigma ought to remove him from consideration, and the situation is made still worse by the blight of Mr. Hill's support. When to this is added the overshadowing danger which the merger decision has pointed out, is it not time that the honest, earnest, loyal Democrats awake from their lethargy, lay aside the thought of compromise, and begin an aggressive campaign to save the Democratic party from the menace of corporate control? "If Mr. Parker is nominated, it must not be as a 'harmony' candidate it must be with the knowledge that he represents the same element, the same influence and the same methods which during Mr. Cleveland's second administration led the Democratic party through 'the valley of the shadow of death.' " A Racetrack Accident. Vichy, France, Aug. 4. Jay Ransch, the American jockey, was thrown in the races here yesterday and was carried off the course to the hospital. He is suffering from concussion of the brain. He has not regained consciousness. ' Affairs on the "Katy." Houston, Tex., Aug. 4. It is denied by the officials of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad that the road is tied up or inconvenienced to any great extent by the strike of the telegraphers. ? Of course the opposition is searching with a microscope to find flaws in the Republican platform, but they will find it very much like the man at the head of the ticket it means what it says, and what it says is 'based upon the experiences of the country. It is based upon what it has actually accomplished. It might be more attractive as a bit of literature if it were filled with glowing sunrises and sunsets, but the Republican party has a habit of dealing with facts rather than rhetoric, and when the reader studies this platform and compares it with the record he knows what to expect when the party is voted into power again. The St. Louis platform may be more lurid, and it may be more higL --o-iiding in various particulars, and a piece of fiction it may be very tractive, but the voter who read c. it . not likely to know any mort about what the party would do if T' xed in power than he knew before reading it. . . $ e a Here is what John V. Kern said of the recent Indiana state Democratic convention in his St. Louis speech: "In that convention there was no gavel rule.. The previous question was not moved. The roll was called whenever demanded, every aelegate was given the opportunity to vote his sentiments with the assurance that his vote was counted as cast." The sort of mental make-up that enables a man to talk like that in public remains a puzzle to & good many people.
