- "The present campaign on the
part ot the Republicans is one of
humbug and . false . pretenses,
peculiarly RooBeveltish charac
teristics." : Coming from ' Mr.
Hill, formerly a " Senator from
N.ew York, President Roosevelt
and the Republican party are
eutitled to congratulate them
selves. Discredited in hiB own
patty, distrusted by the closest
friends of Judge Parker, ostra
cised by Grover Cleveland, des
pised by' Mr., Bryan, contemned
by Tammany and so peculiarly
odious aud foul smelling poli
tically to his party is Mr. Hill
that bis party and his paity'r
leaders nave compelled uiui to
jump overboard to prevent the
ship going on the rocks even
before the day of election. A
dittribe of ihat sort from a man
that character is a tribute to the
principles of the - Republican
parly aud to the directness of
purpose and sincerity of Theo
dore Roosevelt.
The speech of Mr. Hill to
call it so by courtesy was not
the last soug of the dying swan
but the last wail of the kicked
out political;. 'Heavy though
the other weights are around
the neck of Judge Parker; Done
was so heavy as the political re
putation of David Bennett Hill
for no man of hit party trusts
him in politics, and least of all
the men who kuow him With
him it wa? a choice of beiug
thrown overboard bodily or
jumping and when he looked
into the faces of his fellow voya
ges he jumped.

Unle-s a stumpetie to Panuma

likely to be filled up with thou
