Bourke Cockrsn. after being re nominated by the Democrats of the Xllth Congress District last night, put his word barrel on tap. and it flowed for twenty-seven typewritten pages, am ply satisfying whatever of thirst there was In the audience for Democratic paregoric. He claimed everything in sight for the Democratic party. start- Ing In by describing the Creator's directions to Adam bs forming th« doctrine of the Democratic party. He dwelt lovingly on the assertion that the government of the country had always been on !•• niocratic principles, regretted to be forced to state that they had practically always been admin istered by Republicans, and reached his climax when he said the reason for this was that the peo ple ioii«=id< red the Democrats lunatics and didn't «lar© trust the government to them. He told his audience he believed in frankness. He was frank, with a vengeance. Judge Parker, after his refusal yesterday to an swer a question on his attitude as to allowing the negro to vote, will read with delight Mr. Cockran's remarks on the need for Democratic candor. Mr. •'"ockran wound up by saying Mayor Mc- Ctellan was giving this city the best government It ever had. Mr. Cbcfcran'a speech in part was as follows: ■ It is well to bear In mind that Democrats never differ about principles which constitute Democracy. When the flrsi man was informed by his Creator that he must eat his bread In the sweat of his brow, he was sho-wii now li" could support lumseir In the largeel abundance, the greatest comfort ana ihe most perfect peace. In that sentence is com prised the whole economic law and the whole Dem ocratic doctrine. Democracy Is merely the applica tion of that revelation from Heaven to human gov ernment. • ■ . , ,_ The unbroken tendency of the country for forty years may be defined as steady adoption of Demo, cratic policies and the almost equally steady per sistence in intrusting the enforcement of them to memb#rs of the Republican party. The awful crime which has provoked a form of popular ven geance outside the law and repugnant to it. de moralising to all classes and threatening to the 6tabllltv of democratic institutions, was first com mitted 'when the Southern States groaned under the hideous travesties maintained by the carpet bagger. Not all the waste of war. not all the treasure expended in prosecuting It, not all the lives sacrificed In the course of It endangered the Republic half so seriously as the lynching* which the best people in a great i ortlon of the country believe are the only means of effectively defending and protecting the sanctity of their womanhood. They or- the direct fruits of Republican ascend ency The danger to republican government, and Indeed to organized society, which they involve Is part of the price which the country is forced to pay for abandoning -even temporarily— Democratic polities of Justice for Republican policies of ex- Nowhere l?i world Is the gov^j-ntnent Itself Nowhere In the world Is the government Itself held in higher affection and nowhere are the men who administer it held in less c.-teem. The Amer ican people are profoundly distrustful of politi cians This popular distrust extends to politicians of both parties but 1 think for different reasons. Republicans are very generally regarded as cor rupt out somehow or other they have succeeded in persuading the people that the Democratic poli ticians are crasy. and the electors, believing them selves redured to a choice between crazy men and corrupt men. have preferred to trust the. corrupt, probably on the ground that rogues can be dealt with according to their roguery, while lunatics cannot be dealt with at all. I think the whole trend of results ought to leave little doubt that the opinion Is widely held. Now. the Republican does not deny that his hand Is in the national till and that it will remain there, but some way or other lie appears to have succeeded In persuading the people that the Democrats who denounce his rob ben- would paralyai all commerce and wreck all property if they were allowed to drive him away. And to the people have preferred submitting to peculation, which, however grievous and demoral izing, leaves them something of what their labor produces, rather than risk what they think might be the total destruction of their Industrial system by well meant but utterly extravagant and ruinous political experiments. To restore confidence In the Democratic party the first essential step Is to establish not that its leaders are honest, for that. I think, is generally conceded, but that they are sane. The really effective Republican arguments are all In whisper*." the whispered conditions upon which corruption funds are supplied. But the Dem ocratic party cannot deal In whispers, if It b« Democratic, -for it *a« no promises to make ex cept those which should be proclaimed on the housetops?" It can never win by suppression of its views: evasion I* declaring its purposes. It ab hor* secrery ami perinheß In mystery. Publicity is the very breath of Its nostrils. If it Is to gain a victory it must- march to battle with banners flying drums beating, war cries resourdlnK. Its one battle cry is 'equal rights to all men. special privileges to " none, the fullest protection to all fruits of Industry, stern resistance to every at tempt at plunder, pitiless pursuit of every plun d For my part I never could -understand why any one should hesltnte about candor In expressing opinions. If nny man Is ashamed of his opinion he should abandon it. I have always. In matters of conviction, held that there are but two courses open to an honest man. He should express It or change It. To hold an opinion of which li» is ashamed Is to in* Indefensible and almost in comprehensible. By these principles i have always t <-<;i guided In my own conduct. SILVER CLUB'S STORMY SESSION.

Oct. 3.— An attempt to pledsro the Indians Silver Club to Judge Parker has resulted in failure, and after a stormy passion It was agreod that every man should vote as he pleased. Tin. club, before taking any action, decided to wait un til Judge Park'-r's letter of acceptance was pub lished. Many of them resented his statement re garding the gold standard, and will not support him. It was determined to leave every member free to do as he please-* According to Dr. 1... N. Howard, who Is president of the club, and who had talked with the thirty five or forty members of the club and heard from as many more. It will be a close race between Parker, Watson and Roosevelt to determine who will get the most votes out of the club. Dr. Howard thinks Parker will rot pet more than one third of the ISO members in this city. m GOFF WARNS THE GRAND JURY. Tells Them to Preserve Their Equilibrium A Time of "Great National Excitement."

G. DAVIS' S BLUNDERS. Cleveland Not President in Fiscal Year of 1892. | FROM THE TMBCN* Bl'REAf.] Washington. Oct. 3.— Amazement Is expressed here at the blunders made by Hen*. G. Davfe in his letter accepting the Democratic nomination for Vice-President. The most striking Is his selection of the fiscal year 1832 as one of the years of '.he Cleveland administration and his quotation of the total and per capita expenditures of that yetr for purposes of contrast with those of the fiscal year 1304. President Cleveland was not elected until November. 1892. four months after the close of the fiscal year which Mr. Davis selects as a sample of his administration, and was not inaug urated until March 4. 1833. almost the close of the fiscal year of 1893, so that the first fiscal year of his term, properly speaking, was that of MM. It is pointed out that by selecting the third year of the Harrison admlnlstartion he secured an ad vantage of $22,000,000 difference In - the total ex penditures of the government and a difference of 13 cents in the per capita expense. Mr. Davis also utterly falls to show the increase of ex penditures of the Cleveland administration over those of the preceding Republican administration, and leaves it to be Inferred by the inattentive reader that increases in the expenditures are co incident with Republican rule. Mr. Davis reiterates the usual campaign fulmina tlons against trusts, but doe" not suggest a rem edy. He was probably restrained from prescrib ing the Republican remedy of federal prosecution of contracts in restraint of trade by the Albany Democratic platform, and the assurances of Par ker's managers that the Presidential candidate will hold that federal prosecution of corporations char tered by the State is a violation of the Constitu tion. In fact, -t Is remarked. Mr. Davis follows his arraignment of the trusts with a paragraph on violations of the Constitution, apparently intended to reassure any timorous contributor* to the Dem ocratic campaign fund. Mr. David's charges of extravagance against Re publican administrations have not even the merit of originality, having ail been uttered by Judge Parker in more amplified form, and effectually dis proved by the sound thinkers and experienced economists whose attention was called to them by Parker's letter of acceptance.

Kelly \ said, to have him remain away until after the I sUtute of limitations had run out on the lighting I \ deal. By a miscalculation. Kelly said, he came i j back too soon and was arrested. • Kelly declares the politician said that the new j j Circuit Attorney, for which ©face nominations are ) to be made by the Democrats to-day, would be j "bis man." Kelly asserts that he refused this offer. j ! and that he makes this confession to satisfy the , pangs of an accusing conscience, to obey the re- -, Quests of his wife and to do what he can to make . atonement to the public and prevent other young , men from following the path which h-» decUres has | ! led him to ruin. • In his confession Kelly details the story of the , city lighting deal, for which he says a boodle fund , of $47 COO was divided between the nineteen mem ; bers of the combine at Julius L*hmann\«» birthday ' party. He declares that the politician mentioned 1 gave him the boodle fund, and that ***** » tv ; Lehmann'B bouse, and that he there divided It Kelly In his confession continues: I know, from my own knowledge and from the : statement- made to me by thus* on O»2*^_JJSJ bribery has been going on In the Municipal Assem, , I bly of St. Louis for the U*t twenty-nve years. , i Hardly a bill parsed that body in i he laat SSms*» ' of a century unless it was paid for. We aux noi ' fear exposure and punishment for the reason that > we believed that no one would dare to do .it. In i caee of attack we knew most of the l* l lo^^./'^ , many of the large financiers of St. 1^ ui » i^ v ' ( ?_, i ; ' with us. A former Prosecutor showed some signs : or starting after us. but he was biutted on When the present Prosecutor /Circuit o £ l u ° Folk Is meant here) commenced his war or. us. wt ! tried to intimidate him by threats o f ««=f s '' nnta tt t _ lo S , i and when this had no effect we laid aU 1"?-*! , trap* for bUn, without success.

This plan was P^'JggSi "| not only by members of the House of Peleg ites ' under indictment for boodllng. but by I prom.n^nt j financiers of St. Louis, who feared exposure, aid < j Dy those who gave us the money. Of the combine Kelly had this to say. We never thought of passing a bill out of which i any money could be obtained unless we were _ p.ta • I for our votes. We went about it in a 1 !■!■ ■.■.■■■ j way. and had combine tins-, at »<»«»fi^« and fixed the bribe prices which we were so recet\» | for our votes by a majority vote of the conMn*. ■ : Then we would select one of the combine in whos« honesty we had confidence to go out and get me ■ money." agents would rarely ever betray us. In 1 Theee age.its would rarely ever betray js In i one or two Instances they confiscated parr or trie i money, but as a general rule they were honest wltn . 1 us. Among ourselves, understand, we had a nig.i code if morals, and It was considered extern-. > , dishonest for a number of the combine to o-p. I bribe money without dividing it among his fellows. We had a fixed schedule of prices for various bill?. according to the value of the franchises or privi i leges given. We hardly ever received leas than , i $1,000 for the combined vote. We considered It be- | neath our dignity to take la** than that. On one or two occasions, though, we got aa low as **> each for our vote*, and some of the boy« took IB each. ' but were ashamed of it because the price was so I Our combine was not alone: party Itre.v Both ! Democrat* and Republicans belonged to It. My ex perienc* has been that boodlers line up according to their own Interests and not under party Btaas> nnls. Democrat* and R*p':t>ll.-an» in St Louis , usually nominate men Is go to the House of £♦•*- gate* for the m>n*v they can tn^ke out or n Ba-n party m*n votes for his own fellow, and eMber one 1 I tlutt gets in serve* those who rob the city of fran chises. I believe this h~* be»-n tolerated in W. Louis because mn many of the large corporations or j 1 the city are mixed up in boodlln* one way r>r an other. The head* of these ccrporation* used to think It le?s trouble to buy what they wanted than to elect honest men to the House of legatee. J There are many otli-r things I can and will tel!. \ later m. but this vrtll d.-» now. This, in brief Is ; i ray story and the confession of my tnfamv. I w- 1 1 l!ev^ though, th.it If the people of St Louis allow I this man »a prominent politician In named* to go 1 ■ f»n and control both political parties and put Mi ! men In office, the public will be his' as guilty as , S 1 urn to-«lnv Such la hit" hod on the community , • though. It i«eeo>» helpless. If I knew anything! , , could d-> that 1 have not done to nrouse the people i of this city, or any of the people of this Stnte. to , i the necessity of putting a stop to corruption. I would gladly do It. I am now suffering the renalty for my crimes. , lam degraded an.l disgraced I don't want to pr. eh but Ido want to sound the alarm to the pu»- ; ! li(^ as one would to- a friend whose house Is on fire. A few w*»ks ngo this man teM us "'.c'"' 1 , either get a continuance until a new Circuit Ar i tom< y was elected, that his man would be put jn . , and onr cases would b<> dismissed, or we con id . rleml guilty and stay In tall "nti! next January and he would then see that me w*re pardoned. I I hnve !e*ermlne«* not to h«» under his dominion wr 1 lonrer. 1 shall endeavor for the rest of my life to ; j atone for fhv wronjrx I have done.
