West Side Stables, c. e. tull, Prop. RESOLVED That You Will be TAKEN OFF Your feet when You SEE THE BARGAIN 3". WE NOW OFFER flMlltMT iH IV V l llttl lINt I.OHSVIM.E, Ky., July 3. Commenting on the report from New York last night that Judge Parker has been selected to present the res olutions at the Denver convention uion ex-President Cleveland's death. Colonel Henry Watterson ald: "Any attempt to drag the dead body of Grover Cleveland from Its newly made grave Into the tu mult of national convention will de ceive no one. An Invasion of tbe grief of the noble lady who weeps amid tbe silence and solitude of granite bills, a blow at party con cord, It Is the act of a shameless hypocrite. Nor wss ever a profes sional ghoul inspired by a more mercenary spirit; because tbe sole aim and end of the Murphy-Con-ners crowd, aided by Judge Parker, is the perpetuation of tbe ascend ancy of Belmont-Ryan, to which democracy owes Its Ignominious and well deserved defeat. It was Bel-mont-Ryan money that financed nomination In 1904. It was Belmont-Ryan money that nominated him and It was Belmont-Ryan that made an anti-trust movement under such a brand absurd and lmMissl- ble. It seemed fitting that having made sacrifices for predatory wealth. Judge Parker should have lili recompense in bis rich law practice In the city of New York. He has had It, with It enrich ment, aud he should rest well con tent. That he ahould emerge fiom this highly paid obscurity to make trouble through sheer manevolence were pitiable Indeed, but that he should appear backed by the money of trust magnates and traction thieves appealing to Jefferson and Tllden, with the dead body of Gro ver Cleveland stretched upon the dissecting table is disgraceful. It is not only disgraceful, but Its mo tive Is grotesquely and transparently obvious. The wing of tbe demo cratic party In the slate of New York to which Judge Parker belongs and the group with which he la now act ing -.ongs waa the David Bennett Hill wing. They were Inveterate, the most Implacable enemies of Gro ver Cleveland. Tbey bated him and be hated them. Although amid the gloom of defeat, a band of truce was reached; there was never retl am nesty or oblivion on eltber side, so that tbe scheme to recall the ahade of Cleveland and to set this up as a death bead In comedy of a mock fu neral would be too dastardly and too gastly for belief. If It were not tbe last desperate play of the clique lot discredited politicians seeking rule or ruin at any cost. Standing about the open grave of Mr. Cleveland, those of us wbo knew him but did not alwaya ap prove of him nor agree with him were not only willing to let bygones be bygones, but that good alone should live after him. He is dead. He sleeps with those who went be fore from Jefferson to Tllden, and history ran be trusted to do him no Injustice. "Resurrected at Princeton and proclaimed at Denver, his name spells firebrand, and firebrand Is the sole initiative and purpose of the body snatcbers who propose to use it to conjure a dlssentlon whilst they iry to corrupt delegates. In Mr. Bryan and the reunited party democrats saw a hope of vic tory. On none other was there tbe smallest hope of union. That they reasoned truly has been shown by the fact tbat with the Ryan-Belmont barrel' on tap and Its agents flying about in every dlrecion, state after state refusing to be tampered with or tainted has declared for the Ne braskan. Seeing this. Judge Parker is put forward to deliver the usual final stroke of bravo, and under the pretense of honoring the memory pf Cleveland to plunge bis blade, reeking with poison, artfully pre pared, Into the heart of democracy. Tbat be ahould lend himself to such vlllany will engulf him in the scorn or honorable men and the detesta tion of thoughtful democrats." Colonel Watterson goes on to de precate the acts which tend to re vitalize old quarrels which have di vided the party in the past and de clares they should be thrown out as insane. "Coming from Connors and Mur phy, from Belmont and Ryan, Par ker and Sheehan, It will be thrown out as Infamous. They may de feat us, but they cannot debauch us." tt TAKIN Ttf-TStJW SfTj A "BAR."-fjAIN, MEANJ A (3AIN TOR. YoU.

J. O. MARTIN. July 8. 1908. Am Iraport&At ProMem Hval One of the problems of the poor man in developing a commercial orchard is making a living while his orchard is maturing. A 5 or 10 acre tract in the Meree Tract to be sold Tuesday and Wednesday July 14 and 15 will solve this problem It is near enough Medford so one can live on his land and have a. job in town; or he can live in town and whenever he has a few spare hours he can put this spare time in look ing after his little orchard. II it was five miles away this could not be done. The old gentlemen who wants more than a town lot to work on can apply the same rule; live on the land, or in town as his circumstances, tastes and desires may dictate. The professional or business man should have one of these tracts to satisfy his desires for a reasonable por tion ot rural life. When this tract is sold the next tract opened will likely sell at least f 100 per acre higher. Opportunities passed, often never return. Prices and Terms in reach of all. $100 to $150 per acre. 1-3 cash; balance in 1, 2 and 3 years at 6 per cent interest. C. H. PIERCE SON MEDFORD. OREGON
