The hypocrisy and sham of the Democratic Ftate campaign in NVw-York have been BO plain to all eyes that the party organs have found it aln...sr Ininossihli to say a good word for their [ate, and have been compelled to join tbOSC who from selfish motives and for purposes of personal revenge have been slandering Re pubiii.;j.i officials. Tie energy of the Democrats ha 6 been entirely d to reckless assertions of corruption ■gainst an administration which has uniformly responded to the best public sentiment, which killed the ITrmf II gas grab, the Niagara power pral). the West st. franchise grab and v\fi-y other measure of doubtful propriety, and gave the State improved tax laws, good roads, tene bouse and employment agency reforms, and better administered public institutions. Tbes» frlflndorous charges have one by one fallen to the ground. Supporters of Judge Her rSck now confers that there was nothing iv the Seville charge. Judge Herrick misquoted : ~ < in an attempt to show extravagance iv *he hospitals; but In reply it was demonstrated that they were run at a les» cost per patient tl.nn undor Governor Flower, and that the In mates were properly cc re.l for on a diet more liberal than the one prescribed by the most emi nent expert in the country. In sharp contrast with their professed desire for "reform," but in complete harmony with the Indecent character of their campaign, the Demo crats nominated a candidate for Governor who had already shown himself unworthy of trust. Mr. Berrlck had to conspicuously misconducted himself a«, at the same time, a judge and bos? of a most corrupt political organization, and had been so severely denounced by the Demo cratic papers, that it took them some days to get their breath and give him any positlTe support. Thr'.r own findings against him as a bad judge and a corrupt politician bare stared them in the face all through the campaign. Judge BEerrick has gone up and down the State repeating reck less untruths; has coin pared President Roosevelt with the blackmailing Derery police and then sought to run away from his indiscretion only to I*> compelled to acknowledge that he was cor rectly quoted. Against tills Judicial manipulator of election frauds the BegmbUcaiM have presented an hon orable, capable and independent man. ing rec ord as an honest legislator is not attacked. His Independence of party pressure to do what he thought wrong has been proved, notably in his rfsUitane* to all the persuasions of Governor Black and the organization to vote for the Payn <'oafiroiation. The only attacks made upon him have been abandoned by the reputable Demo cratic papers. To-day the Democratic campaign In New-York has degenerated int« a mere de* perate attempt, by slanders and appeals to prejudice, to put the old Hill crowd In the places from which they were so bardly^dlslodgcd, in spite of many scandals, when the people re volted at the election theft of Hill and May nard. With them once again in power, led by n desperate and bold politician like Horriok, iho taxpayers of New-York would have to prepare tot a long season of einluranoe. I on:: Now. vote! There is something to vote for to-day; and there is something to vote apainst. Vote for courage and inftnliuo!?s, and therefore vote against tlie man who dared not declare himself In favor of the gold standard until he had se cured his nomination by the votes of free silver men. and who dared not protest against the trusts until bis owu campaign treasury had beeu filled with trust contributions. Vote for truth and honor, and therefore vote against the candidate who has gone about bear ing false witness against his opponent, and who when convicted of untruth has tried to wriggle out of his predicament by misrepresentation. Vote for progress and prosperity along as sured and approved lines, and therefore vote against the candidate, the platform and the party whose only programme is chaos and whose only proposal Is a leap into the dark. Vote for Roosevelt, and therefore vote against the candidate put forward by David B. Hill- Hill, the "head deTil," who carried one election by stealing it and who wouldn't shrink from at tempting to carry another in the same way. Vote, and vote the straight Republican ticket, national, State and local, without scratching, without fear and without reproach! Vote! THE RAKE'S PBOORBBS. The one clear characteristic of the Demo cratic campaign for the Presidency which in destined to end in a disgraceful defeat to-day has been Its progressive degeneration. Yet it did not start on a high plane. The St. Louis convention— a seething conglomerate of hostile factions— was betrayed Into choosing a candi date of whose character and opinions so little was known that it readily accepted the as^u I' ance of his accredited agents that its will was his law, only to find too late that the man who twic*i supported Bryan had suddenly be come convinced that the gold standard was irrevocably established. The cowardly silence of the platform on the financial question wrs of a piece with its strad dles nnd subterfuges in respect to other mat ters, but it Contained some professions of be lief and purpose which guve hope of a respecta ble effort to defend them. BforeoTer, many honest Democrats trusted their candidate in spite of signs which they ought to have discerned. He was Hill's polit ical pupil and constant friend. All through the canvass for the nomination Hill had been In complete charge of his Interests and his honor. It was to Hill that he had confided his fort unes at St. Louis, and Hill's successful manage ment had been dishonest. Yet it was possible to plead the candidate's recent unfamiliarily with devious political methods and to assume that when the beneficiary emerged Into the standard hearer every doubt of his mental qualifications and his robust integrity would disappear. * In that mood Judge Parker's speech of ac ceptance was awaited. ]t was Inept, irresolute, unlnstructive, uninspiring -a crushing disap pointment. The letter followed. It was not quite so feeble as the speech, but it had ir> power to lift the dead weight of the Demo cratic campaign; and then the party manage ment went to pieces. It had a f<-\v issues, as we have eald. for which a stiff fight mij;ht have been made without discredit, if there had been any sincerity behind them. But the discordant leaders could not harmonize, or even agree to disagree, and when they began to fear one another's eyes out. Instead of advancing on their adversaries, the semblance of an honorable con test for principles vanished. After that there was nothing left but the wretched devices arbicb desperation is always tempted to employ. The managers abandoned such issues as they had, and with one accord resorted to defamation. Then for the first Time they got together, and, shameful to say, found that they had not merely a candidate, but a leader. Whore such leadership has conducted the Democratic party the country already infalli bly discerns. Tl:e chasm yawns. It will close to-night over the wreck of frantic hopes and impure ambitions. DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN MUSIC. A Democratic mass meeting, such as that at Madison Square Garden last week, surely sug gests strange and puzzling reflections to any one familiar with the outlines of American his tory for the la>t half century. To such a one it must have been a pathetic sight to see thou sands of men and women, presumably Demo crats, keeping time with flnf.'s and feet, and fven cheering and occasionally singing the chorus of the grand old patriotic songs of the Republican party still vibrant with the Btirrlng music ct the war for the Union. What reflec tions, for instance, must arise in Democratic minds when the band plays, to the waving of thousands of little banners, that war tune that has In it the victorious tramp, tramp of Sher man's legions marching through Georgia to the sea! Yet Democrats joined in tho ringing chorus: Hurrah! Hurrah! we bring the jubilee. Hurrah! Hurrah! the flag- that makes you free! So we sang the chorus, from Atlanta to the pea, While we were marching through Georgia. Have words lost their meaning and lias sound obscured sense and the facts of history? liow i lse can a Democratic mass meeting permit bands to play such airs when it is recalled that the Democratic party opposed the war. opposed giving freedom to the slave, and even at pres ent in one great section of the Union has prac tically disfrancbised the colored voter, while its candidate for the Presidency dares not say whether the boa«ted party of the Constitution will enforce that much praised but little r« garded document in its entirety? it has tears in plenty for the "little brown brother" in 1 1 j o far away Philippines, notwithstanding the fact that the future of that same "little brown brother" bus never looked so bright with prom ise as since a Republican administration car ried the Bag of liberty to those shores and planted It iv place of th«» standard of despotism. As to the "black brother" in the Democratic South, that, of course, is a different matter, and it is an offence against party proprieties even to ask its candidate for the Presidency what he has to say as to the constautional rights of that same black brother. To an Impartial observer some such reflec tions ns the foregoing are naturally suggested as the band plays the stirring melody of Bbei man's men while thousands of Democrats seem to be excited to a One glow of patriotism by th , strains. But the Inconsistencies do not stop here The band next strikes up "The Red White and Blue." and enthusiastic Democrats join In the old chorus: The army and navy forever Three ebasrs for the red, white nnd blue. And white the Democrats are staging and waving the litrie campaign banners the disin terested observer thinks of the present Demo cratic campaign against the army and naw and wonders why the Democratic managers do not put "The Kcd, Whito nnd Blue" on their index cxpurgat.-rius f ,nd forbid good Democrats to sing it. Soiu. -what similar thought.- arise as th-- baud 111 the interval before the ipeakinc strikes up "There'll Be a Hut Time iv the Old STEW- YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 8. 1904. Town To-night,' 1 with its memories Of the brief war winch won for the American navy new laurels at Manila Bay ami Santiago, gave Cuba a place among republics and brought Porto Rico and the Philippines under the American Hag. These are achievements of which Americans are proud. But why should a mass meeting called by the party which belittles that war anil avows its intentions to undo its results in part as soon as possible applaud so vociferously the martial air which inspired the colored troops as they rushed up the hill Of .San JuanV But perhaps these manifestations of the crowd are thoughtless and the Democrats In mass meeting assembled are ignorant of their party's and the country's history. That supposition. and that alone, can satisfactorily explain such inconsistencies. When the speakers begin doubtless we shall hear them uttering genuine Democratic truth, clear, logical and consistent, glorying in their party's history and properly, holding up, as in days gone by, Republican ideals and achievements to scorn. But no. Here comes Judge Parker and refers to Lin coln's exalted example as a worthy one for the present President of the United states to fol low; and to "the last great speech of President licKinley" — a President who, when living;, was subjected to all the varieties of abuse and vilifi cation that Democratic ingenuity could devise. We may suppose that this was too much for the puzzled, Intelligent observer, and that, wearied with attempting to explain or to under stand present day Democracy, he joined the hundreds who. after satisfying their curiosity to see the Democratic candidate for the Presi dency, slowly wended their way out of the Garden. DERRICK'S THUKAT. So Judge Herrick Is already plauuing to re move the District Attorney of Albany County If he does not act In election matters to suit the Democratic candidate? The Judge-Boss Is still full of the lire of the old days when he rat on the bench and ran «t machine in Al bany, under which, according to "The Brooklyn Eagle," elections were worse than under John Y. McKane in Gravesend. On Saturday he met The District Attorney and threatened him With removal on January 2, and we can readily believe that if elected, be would carry out the threat, for according to the address of the New Democracy in Albany in ivit } i( > Bo conducted himself ;1 < a judge that "woe betide the law "yer practising at our bar who dares to dis agree with him In any political move or sug "gestion."' The removal of county officers who do not do the will of the executive in election matters Is a Democratic babit. It will be remembered it was one of the steps taken by Governor Hill in stealing the State Senate in 189 L The county clerks who would not m:ike and trans mit fraudulent returns under his orders were summarily removed and pliant tools of the Governor put in their places. One of these tools who was of not quite stern enough stuff for his business weakly obeyed an order of the Supreme Court and transmitted a true return from Dutches-; County, and that blunder com pelled Maynard to steal if from the mails to accomplish the Senate theft as planned. No doubt Jmi-e Herrick, if elected Governor, would be quite equal to removing sheriffs, dis trict attorneys and county clerks who failed t<> do bis bidding. He has long been known, as "The New-York Sun" says, as a "desperate political operator.' He is dearly planning to continue in the career which made him no torious as the daring and ruthless boss of a corrupt machine. THE CA .V.I DIA A RES IL T. Tho sweeping victory of the Liberal govern in, nt in Canada is of interest to Americans Chiefly in view of its' probable effect upon re lations between the Dominion and this Repub lic Expectations of that effeel differ. Some, we observe, are acclaiming Sir Wilfrid Laurier'a triumph as sealing the do. mi of "Chamberlain lam," as assuring closer relations between Can ada and the United States, and. Incidentally, as meaning the larger use of an American port as the terminal of the Canadian railway sys tem. It is difficult to see <m what good ground any one of these anticipations is based. S<i far as the American terminal of Canadian roads is concerned -to take the last point first - the Liberal victory mast mean a withdrawal therefrom, unless what we understand to have been explicit pledges are to be broken. Ac cording to the best information, an essential part of the railroad scheme of the Liberal g ivernment is that Portland, the terminal in question, is to be abandoned, and St. John and Halifax are to be winter ports " f the Grand Trunk system. It whs on the strength of that pledge that the Liberals carried New-Bruns wick and Nova Scotia. The original plan was, we know, to build the road no further east than Quebec, and to continue using Portland as the winter terminal. But then the Maritime Provinces rose up and asked what profit that would be to them, and why they should be taxed for the building of a road that would nut cross their territory or bring them a sin gle passenger or ton of freight; and it was to meet then* demands and to win their votes that the government changed its plan and de cided to abandon Portland and to build the road on from Quebec to Moncton at the state's expense. The. r"sy hopes of our friends in the beautiful city of Portland seem, therefore, to have Ktile basis, save In a possible repudia tion of pledges. There is no better ground for the theory of closer relations between the two countries. This railroad scheme, which is the paramount item of the Liberal programme, means in creased Canadian competition with the United States. It means a stronger bid for transcon tinental traffic. It means greater efforts t . di vert our wheat and other Western products from Xew-York and other United States ports to Quebec and Halifax, on the way to Europe. We have already called attention to the In creasing proportion of such products that is eeut abroad by way uf Canada. There can be no concealment of Sir Wilfrid Laurler's inten tion to innke. if possible, the increase more rapid and the proportion much greater. In creased friendliness to the United States has no place in the Liberal programme. Neither, of course, has hostility to the United States. But the keynote of the programme is a note of political and commercial independence, In volving competition, defiance and retaliation. That is the policy Sir Wilfrid Laurier has c »n siatently pursued since he took office in Can ada, and we see no real n to suppose that now In the hour oi his greatest triumph, he will abandon it As for "Chamberlainisni." :t is a mistake to suppose that because sir Wilfrid Laurier is called a "Liberal" and Mr. Chamberlain is called a "Unionist," or even a "Conservative," there is therefore an irreconcilable difference between them. The difference is chiefly one <.f nomenclature, in fact, b< ,h were once free traders, and both are now protectionists. Both are, especially, practical advocates of free trade within the British Empire and pro lection againsi all the rest of the world. We must remember thai it was sir Wilfrid! Laurier who, as Prime Minister of Canada, flrsi made practical application <-f Mr. Chamberlain's prin ciple, even before Mr. Chamberlain's own enun ciatl d of it. in establishing .1 tariff system dv criminating hi favor of Greal Britain and other members of the British Empire. We have observed no tendency In Canada toward revocation of that system, on the contrary-, sir Wilfrid has been strengthening if and mak ing the ratio of discrimination moi« surely the reafSrmatlon and conflrmatJon of its übsenlial and basic principle cannot reason ably he iuferpn 1 ""! ™ « deathblow to "Cham berlalnism." It looks, then, ns though under its renewed leaM Of POWSC the Liberal covernment would z<> on governing Canada much n* it b.'is done in the past, only further de/vakfftnl "10" 10 policies it has been pursuing and carrying them on to their logical tßlUlnsli n That SOtsTSS will in VOlve v more marked and intense Cairdia-i livalry with the United States, Ins wWsdt ■ of Canadian commerce from our ports, the cii! tivation of closer relations with Great Britain and the strengthening ol the system of dis crimination against the United States in com mon with all the non-British world. That will not be enmity, or anything of which we can reasonably complain. It. will be simple busi ness, and it will doubtless be regarded and be met by the United States in a practical busi ness spirit. We are content to rest our case before the American people upon the fact that to adher ence to a lofty ideal we have added proved gov ernmental efficiency. Therefore, our promises may surely be trusted as regards any issue that is now before the people; and we may equally be trusted to deal with any problem which may hereafter arisa.— (President Roosevelt. The American citizen holds the sceptre to-day. Hill stole one election by means of his mis erable tool, Maynard. and the people of this State showed what they thought of the per formance when they got a chance at Maynard at the polls. The same Htll haa been trying to carry this year's election by making use of his disciple and chum. Parker, as a tool and figure head. To-day the people have a chance to show at the polls what they think of the perform ance. Vote early, but ccc to It that nobody votes often. Between Theodore Roosevelt and Judge Parker there lies an Impassable moral gulf.— (The New- York Tlm^s. True. The moral gulf is impassable between a straightforward, honest man, who. when he is charged ith practising extortion, squarely and vigorously and Indignantly faces and denies the charge, and the cowardly trimmer who makes th* charr-\ and. when challenged to prove it, whines tha;. he nev^r attacked his neighbor, and pretends that he was all the time talking about something else, which has received no reply. To-morrow the "I-told-you-so" man will have his Innings. Many of the railroads of the country are busy with the handling of freight and of passengers and will be overwhelmed with heavy traffic after to-morrow. The New-York Central and Lake Shore have decided to try the experiment of using seven thousand steel ties. If these prove to be more useful and to give more sat isfaction than wooden ties, they may be adopted largely on the great Eastern lines. If Parker could figure up the votes for himself ln the same way that he has figured up Amer ican expenses and losses in the Philippines he would elect himself by a majority bigger than the total vote. But. unfortunately for him, the votes are to be counted and the returns made according to the rules of arithmetic. Last Sunday's general election in Italy re sulted in a triumph for conservatism against socialism and the extreme radicals. That is a consummation devoutly to be praised, and it will work for the good of both state and church. THE TALK OF THE DAT.

From The Philadelphia Inquirer. Prom the swashbuckler, deilantly boasting and daring hia opponent to ouii» on when he (Parker) thought that then was no danger that the Presi dent would notice him. he has assumed the m«v*k attitude of a whipped bully when the President's vigorous laiisuuKe summons him to account. The incident will then lore nu down iii oampaigrn history aa just cue mure blunder o? the series that have followed the Democratic candidate from the moment that h? connived at his nomination by permitting varioui and Western delegates to believe that he held free silver views and then sought by a telegram to brins the gold standard Democrats to mm after the nomination had been. made. DISGUSTING THE VOTERS. From The Providence Journal. Judge Parker's reply to Mr. Roosevelt's scathing denunciation of him is puerile. The original charge was presumably false also, as stated by th« Presi dent, for Judge Parker has not produced < ne scin tilla ' proof 'n support of his reckless statements. .- spoken to the extent ol several thousand words, but he confuses the question and evades th>: point In a manner so cowardly that It must be a source of humiliation to his mends and aup porteis. These wore led to expect t'nat he would be abia to substantiate some one of his persistent and definite charges against the- President and Chairman Cortelyou, but he has failed to do so. The result must inevitably be the loss to the Dem ocratic national ticket "f many thousands of votes which may possibly turn ihe siale in doubtful States. A DEPLORABLE PREDICAMENT.
