FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1904. REPUBLICAN TICKET. For President: THEODORE ROOSEVELT Of New York. For Vice President: CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS Of Indiana. Presidential Electors: J. N. Hart, of Polk. G. B. Dimick, of Clackamas. A. C. Hough, of Josephine. J. A. Fee, of Umatilla. THE SAME OLD TACTICS. Evidently the word lias pone out from Esopus ami Democratic head quarters to ignore the money ques tion entirely, the tariff question and other great issues of the campaign and devote the entire energies of spellbinders and editorial writers to pounding Roosevelt. This is not the first time by any means that such tartics have been resorted to. It will be interesting and instructive to o back to the campaign of 1 StJ4 when the war and Lincoln were called failures. Ix't us quote a plank from the Democratic platform of tliat year which reads as follows: " lu'xol ii'J . That this convention does explicitly declare, as the sense ot the American lteonle, that after ,four years of failure to restore the Union by the experiment of war. during which, under the pretense of a military necessity, or war power higher than the Constitution, the Constitution itself has Urn disre garded is every part and public lib erty anil private right alike trodden down, and the material prosterity of the country essentially impaired, justice, humanity, lilerty, and the public welfare demand that immed iate ef Torts be made for a cessation of hostilities. &c., Even McC'lcllan, the Democratic nominee for President, could not stand this and absolutely repudi ated the platform of his own party. The triumphal election of Lincoln of course followed. Coming down to 1(2 we find again the Mine condition of affairs, (irant was called a tyrant, a czar, an emperor, a kins anil the plat form of that year contained the fol-j lowing plank : j " J lie rresiiieiit of the Lniteil .States has openly used the powers and opportunities of his high otlice for the promotion of jiersonal ends. lie lias kept notoriously corrupt ami un worth v mi WANTED: A LEADER. It is already evident that the l'arker campaign needs, most of all. the quickening that an issue would give to it. If it be said that there are issues enough, ami mat me vot ers can take their choice, the retort is that in great Presidential cam paigns a candidacy should le pre sented in such high color that it w ill command the attention of fourteen million voters and seize niton their imaginations. If the personality I to wanting to effect this, the candi- huy must have the support of un idea not many ideas, but one ulea that embraces all the rest. In the present case the Parker candidacy is in jx-ril from its own grayness. True, a contrast to the flamboyant red to Roosevelt ism is desirable, but a contrast can not be an oblivion and succeed in politics. primf' field lU'inibltxin. o OXLY JEERS FOR HILL.

The Republican Committee and the Republican seakers and editors of the country have no attack to make whatever upon tho candidates of tho lVmoenitio party; they prefer to discuss tho issues of tho day : to jMiint to tho record of Republican legislation; to call attention to tho promises and pledges fulfilled, and above all to emphasize (he groat prosHrity of the people during tho last seven years under Republican administration and a protective tar iff. These are the questions that should U' discussed and upon the result of this discussion and ukiu the merits of the arguments used, the people should decide whether we shall elect in November Judge Parker or Theodore Roosevelt.

It is eloquent testimony to the character of the man that no Parker orran takis at its face value Mr, David 1!. Hill's promise to "retire" from active polities. Some of them see in it a deep and dark game. If Hill could have his old law part ner Staiicbbeld nominated for Gov crnor? If he could have bis arch enemy, Judge Herrick, "kicked up stairs" to the Court of Apjteals and out of. his way? And if he could have his other enemy, Justice Cul len. punished for the part he took in putting dow n Maynardism ? These would lie rich rewards for a cheap promise to damn the j tarty no more and to cease from nauseating the people of the State with toanut in trigue. The only way to guarantee the elimination of Hill's malignant influence from the national politi cal life is to vote against the iiiemlicr of the firm of Hill & l'arker who represents that bunco combination on tlie Paliot. .ev I oik rrexs. NOT THE FIRST. Henry (Jassaway Davis is not the firt rich man whom the Democrats have nominated for the Vice-President in the hope of securing liberal contributions to the campaign fund. In J.HS0, as running mate to Han cock, "the suiterb." they named William II. English, of Indiana. Mr. English, who had lx'cn promi n in the places ofim-lit in polities when a young man, jtower and responsibility to the det riment of the public interest.
