ASTONISHING NEWS TO PARKER.
Kx-Jtiilse P*rk«i is described as having been
astounded at the discouraging news given to
him yf Chairman Taggart, although he declare!
that there «as all the more reckon for ener
getic work 0:1 the part of the national corn
inUtre. Mr. Tag*rart is reported to have ex
plfftnad his rJtafiwWnaflo'n to spend money in
M«lne and Vermont, on the ground that all ho
rouIJ command would be nedsd to carry tho
«lo«fctrul States above named, and he fe'.t he
cusiit ;o husband his resources In th-j hope that
— Hftilnff. might occur to warrant tho ex
penditure of large sums 5n some particular local-
Hate Witt 'l:t result of turning the tide in favor
».♦ :h- ocratlc nominees. Mr. Parker did not
accept this view of the situation, and the result
has been a. ehe.ngf in the programme oh crici
lasliy oatUned by the national chairman.
.".;.'. raggart was further compelled to re
port .-•- MrpriaJafj charge of aenUanent among
Catholic totem all over the. country, a |ax*e
proportion of whom have In th* past supported
llt« Democratic ticket. To President Roosevelt
personally, It is declared, is largely due this
eSiiuiga of sentiment. His policy In the Philip
pines. where the Church has been fairly dealt
with, Secretary Taft's justice toward the friars
and Mi praise of the work of the Catholic
Church in the Archipelago constitute the chief
reasono for the change. Second only to that
:!■ y. nowever. has been the appointment of
Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, as a mem
ber of the Federal Indian Commission, thus giv
ing- that Church an opportunity to be heard in
behalf of its Indian schools, in which it takes
srcfll pride. The openly expressed admiration
of Archbishop Ireland for President Roosevelt
lias also had an influence hitherto unappreciated
;■■-- the public or by the Democratic managers.
The friendly disposition of Senator Aldrich tow
ard the Catholic Indian schools within the last
two years promises to prove a factor In reduc
ing the Democratic vote in his State, for, al
though the Church takes no part in politics, Its
member* are quick to recognize and faithful to
r •member a friend. "The Boston Pilot, 1 ' the
leading; Catholic newspaper in New-England.
recently declared In favor of the Republican
ticket, and It has been followed by other Cath
olic publications throughout the country. *"
-.hat the Democratic managers are at a loss
♦or means to stem this tide against their party.
Chairman Taggart expressed himself as thor
oughly disheartened at the persistent quarrel
ling «f the New- York Democrats, although hi
*.tiii believes that the State can be carried by
Earlier and Davis. He feels that the straggle
between Tammany and Hill is setting a bad
example to- Democrats In other States, and is
riving the Republican press material for dis
- patches which are being 6ent all over the coun
ir- and are calculated to depress all the work
ers in the Democratic lines. Altogether, things
are reported as looking extremely blue at Eso
pus. and little wonder is expressed that Mr.
Tag'gart Is finding It difficult to make an ener
getic can pa _ , .
Chairman Cowherd, who returned to Wash
fißgtoa rron; New- York to-day, although aware
nt the discouraging prospect before the national
: chairman, does not regard his chances of suc
cess" as to meagre. He has hopes of gaining a
number of eeats In the House; and will, if he
j;a<is it possible to raise the funds, push the
campaign actively In a number of close Con
press districts. He believes he will be able to
*r.a.ke a creditable showing on Election Day, re
• pardiess of the fate of the national ticket

M'CARREN NOT "DECENT. 11
MURPHY RAPS HIM HARD,
Hints Brooklyn Leader Should Be
in Canada — Unions Protest.
Tho war between Charles F. Murphy, leader
o* Tammany Kail, and Patrick H. McCarren.
chairman of the Democratic State Kxecutr-.e
Committee, is on again full tilt. Murphy, at
i Tammany Hall, said yesterday that IScCai
name should never be mentioned in decent so
ciety, and he apologized to those in hi? pres
ence for inadvertently mentioning McCarren's
i nani! . He hinted that If the chairman of the
State Executive Committee, who is one of Judi,'*
Parker's principal lieutenant*, had his just de
serts, as indicated by the police records In Mul
berry-st.. he would be a fugitive from justice
and in Canada to-day. McCarren last night at
the Hoffman House smiled grimly at Murphy*
dark hints, and challenged him to make ppeclflc
charges.
Mr. Murphy reached Tammany Hall about
noon, and took his sea'- at his desk.
"It is currently reported." said a ie\v«paper
mar, "that you have asked Chairman Taggart
to have Senator MeCarren removed from his
place as chairman of the State Executive Com
mittee."
"That is not so." said Mr. Murphy. "I shoulJ
'or ashamed to mention Mr. MeCarren'a name ii
decent company. Mr. Taggart is a d-soent man.
and l would not mention MeCarren'a name In
his presence. Is it. true that MeCarren lifts a:ud
that he wp.nted me to tell aotnethlng?"
"That's what he said in an Interview yester
day," was the answer.
"Well," resumed Murphy, "if he want a cer
tificate of character I should advise him to go
to No. 300 Mulberry-eU where they keep tabs
on people's doing?, if he pot the proper cer
tificate of character there, there might be a
couple of men sojourning In Canada for their
health, and I wouldn't be one of them."
•^lave you protested against McCarren occu
pying the position of State executive committee
chairman.' Mr. Murphy wa« askc.l.
"No," paid Mr. Murphy, "I have done nothing
of the kind." /,
Mr. Murphy* attention was called to a let
ter epnt to Cord Meyer, chairman of the Demo
cratic State Committee, by a delegation repre
senting the Board of Building: Trades. This let
ter stated that the board would use every means
in its power to defeat any party which retained
Mr. McCarren in the capacity of a political
manager.
Mr. Murphy read the letter from the labor
organization, and then remarked:
"I have nothing to say. It speak* for it
self."
John Duiifee. a former member of the Stale
committee, and ex-Mayor Kirk, of Syracuse.
called on Mr. Murphy at Tammany Hall yes
terday. The Tammany leader afterward said
the call was purely eoeial. Ex-Mayor Kirke
was with Murphy in his fight In the State
executive committee last winter to prevent the
Parker men from gaining control of the Mate
organization.
Senator McCarren's intimate friends who saw
him yesterday charged that the demand made
by the labor men with reference to Senator Mo-
Carren's removal was Inspired by Charles r.
Murphy and William A Doyle. Murphy lieu
tenant in Brooklyn. They said last nlßht that
they had scrutinized the list of names signed to
the demand and recognized the names of sev
eral of Doyle's election district captains at
Coney Island. Mr McCarren consulted August
Belmont and State Chairman Meyer, and they
advised him to etand his ground and let Mur
phy and his friends do their worst. They pledged
McCarren their unwavering support in his tight
against Murphy, and told him that it would be
only a few days before Murphy would be suing
Senator McCarren was at the Hoffman House
last night when seen by a Tribune reporter.
Asked about Murphy's charges and insinuations
against him. he said:
"Until Mr. Murphy makes some specific com
plaint I will not answer him. I propose to stick
to my lost as executive committee chairman
and get out as bis a vote for Parker and the
State ticket as possible. I have read the letter
charring me with connection with labor con
troversies and demanding my displacement .-.*
a campaign manager. I am not ready as yet
to n:ako any statement about it.
STILL EXPECT TROUBLE.
Police Keep on the Alert Against the
Beef Strikers.
In spite of the apparent inaction of that element
of the hi& strikers anil their frier.da which has
been responsible 'for the attacks on ntrSk«; break
ers, the police were especially on the alert yes
terday for more such outrages, and did not be-
Heve that the danger from them was lessened.
Th - heavy force of police-men under Captain
Laiitry, of the East Fifty-first-st. station, ("till
patrolled Flrst-ave. about East riftleth-Pt.
In the evening some disturbance occurred
about 6 o'clock, when James Sullivan, formerly
a butcher, but who for the last «ix years has
done tittle work, took his stand at P*orty-r?ixth-
Bt. and First-aye. and began to denounce the
trusts. He was taken to the East Flfty-first-st.
station and locked up on a charge of Intoxica
tion.
' The wagons of '.".:t; United Dressed Reef Com-
I pany which were sent out from the plant in
i Firpt-ave. in the morning were each accotn
%pan'ed by three mounted policemen, one in front
and one on each side. The wagons from the
Schwarz»chl!d & Sulzbe.rger plant were guarded
by the same number of bicycle policemen. These
guards accompanied the wagons an th^ way to
their destination, even out.«iu> the i;sf*:i! scene
oi hostilities, And ramo back with them \p the
plants. No assaults on the wagons were at-
I tempted.
The atrikerH helii a meeting last night at Tur
', tle Bay Hall, in Hecond-ave. Homer D. Call,
j th* international secretary, addressed them.
, The. packers, he said, were not doing bo well
j as they pretended, to be, and 8008 would have
I to give in or lose their customers. He said also
that many strike breaker* had become disgust
ed, and that dally they were giving up work in
the slaughter houses.
It was apparent, too. that work In the pack
j ing house* was at far below the normal con-
I dition. The number of men and vsgorts at
' work yesterday seemed email.

Taggart. who subsequently asserted that the situa- |

Marx Trying to Learn Names Under
.IV lnch Mongolian* Cast Ballots.
As the investigation of tht; naturalization
frauds continues at the hot pace set by A«
elstant District Attorney Marx, the alarming
magnitude upon which the defrauding ■cbowjeal
are worked In becoming more and more appar
ent.. Mr. Marx said yesterday that he had Just
received from bin agents a list of two hundred
Chinese who were believed to be voting under
Americanized names. This list, he said, pave
the Chinese names of the offenders. His men
were actively engaged In finding out the names
under which they had been voting. lie hoped
that all of the offenders would «oon be rounded
up. The Italians who were arrested last month
for voting: on fraudulent citizenship papers, |M
said, were about one hundred and fifty, while
the number of those actually convicted for the
offence was seventy-nine. Italian offenders
continue to be Rmwtert at the rate of about
eight a day, and yesterday Dninpaiij P. Meetze,
specialty employed- by the government to run
down naturalization frauds, arrested ten.
Th« length of Imprisonment for persona con-
Tjcted of violating the naturalisation lawß may
be aa much as three years, according to a recent
decision. Mr. Marx said that although he be
lieved that tho judges who Jrwucd tho papers
were to blame for tno frauds, the severest pun
ishment that could be meted out to them would
be a sharp reprimand.

I call upon the six and a half mlUlon voters
whose- political faith was crystallized In the CM
caso platform of 18% and In the Kansas Uty plat
form of 1900. and I ask them. hat is there In tha
Democratic platform of 1904 that bids you hope.
What la there for you in that platform- V\natau
you get out of it? To what extent ooes 1 writer
represent you? What la it that he proposes to > do
for you? 'if you believe In Republican /latrines,
why vote for Parker? Why not "co the *"""•
hog or none.- mil vote for Roosevelt.' By *- hat
right do the Democratic leaders undertake to
preach and expound to the American people any
economic questions?
GOING BACK ON THEIR OWN \VOPwD3.
How do we know that they have studied and
mastered • any of those, questions? Never In tno
world could It emphasize itseJf on any issue a-t h
did on lh« money question from lS9t> to the yea*
of i*> 4. If all the writings and all of tno spee^nes
which they made against the Republican party on
the money question were put Into printed form
and loaded for transport upon the backs of caiiwm
the caravan would stretch from one. en "to tne
other of the great Sahara Desert. Did they un
derstand the money question? If not. how do we
know that they understand any other question.
In their campaign book of IS* the Democratic
leaders aay: "We nrn unalterably opposed to
monometallism." In the famous telegram of I!H>4
their candidate fays in effect that he is unalter
ably in favor of monometallism. All of th* litera
ture of eight years Is to be destroyed. A.I of the,
prophecies of night years have been repudiated.
All of the dire calamities which were scheduled to
take pine* if the Republicans carried out tholr
policy on the money question have been put aside.
The "great party which pledged itself to the Ameri
,-an people, us unalterably opposed have shifted
over to the position of being Irrevocably in favor
of the gold standard.
Do the Democratic leaders suppose for one mo
ment that the voters of this country are going to
forget th" history of the last eight years? Do
they Imagine for a moment that when they stand
in it." attitude of confessing so coiossal a blunder
as they made upon the money question that they
are going to be trusted on any other question? I
again ask. Did they know what they were talking
about during tnose eight years, or were they sim
ply deceiving toe American people? Perhaps they
we.pi Ignorant upon the money question. If 80,
how will th»y go about convincing the voters that
they are wiser to-day than they were yesterday?
But perhaps they knew that the Republicans were
rl*ht. and were simply misleading the people. If
i*>. how will they go about satisfying the voter
that they are honester to-day than they were yes
terday?
AMAZING EFFRONTERY
It seems to mo to be th» most amazln* piece
of effrontery for the Democratic party to go be
fore th« American people and proclaim that for
.Ipht yearn they have been wrong and the Re
publicans have oe*n right, and at the same time
demand that the crowd which has been wrong
shall be put In the places of thoM who have been
right. It would l!i(f. c.l bo a miracle If any such
thin* would happen, and so far as 1 am concerned
I do hoi believe that It will happen.
Why do I my uo? Because I believe that If the
gold standard M right, as both of the old parti's
now say that It Is. tha people of the country will
... ,>... credit and the support to the m- who
wer« brave enough to pioneer Its way. tight Its
battles and win |i.« triumph.
Hut we are told that the Democratic party has
laken :i bray»- stand on t!- tariff queatlor. It
ha« declared that protection in robbery. If that
declaration int-ans anything it certainly mean'
rh.it any protection however small, la dishonest.
But they would n«ver dare to aay that the Ameri
can people must construe that language to mean
what It ordlnarlty would mean. Even those who
claim that th« words mran "a tariff, for revenue
only" will find coM comfort In th" letter of their
candidate ho declares that while he wouM b«
glad to see a renrtaloq of the tariff, he knows th it
he ojii.not bring It »0 piss. To MTI the trouble
••f any duubt upon that great subject, he stands
in his t-upltulatlon to the Republicans before ■
»ln»le gun Is fired Th« campaign has not even
L»«-«!ii opened before the standard bearer of Democ
racy commences his retreat. Therefore, thy great
tariff ijti-stlon may b« conilder«d as "waived,*
Jimf as the great money question Is "waived."

the two old parties "were almost identical. ■««

cal? Certainly they are. Boiled down to Us real

sos m the management of tha national Democratic
party anything on earth except an effort to rind

Is merely a ouestion of catching the voter and
winning the- office. A frw years apo they we.r«
clamoring for the Income tax. What has become
of that demand? Who told them to drop It . Ihe
plain people of America did not. Th.; masses of
our people are in favor of such .i tax. almost
unanimously. The corporation kings who are
financing the Parker campaign are naturally op
posed to the income tax. it has dropped out of
sight. By whose orders?
ANOTHER DOCTRINE LOST.
A few years ago the Democratic party went back
to Its historic position upon the question of national
banks and proclaimed the old doctrine of Jefferson
and Andrew Jackson that the government should
retain in it* own handa the sovereign power to
create money. What has become of that doctrine?
What did they mean when they reproclalmed It
,ii 1596? Controlled as they were by Wall Street
bankers, theyrmeant in 189« when they made th*
declaration, just what they mean at the present
time, when they do not make it. They mean to up
hold the powers and tho privileges and profits c
th« national bankers, overwhelming proof of which
Is to bo found in the fact that when the national
banks came to Congress in 19>C asking to be re
» chartered for a term of twenty years not a single
Democrat in either th«» Iloit-** or Senate made an at
tack upon that system, which Thomas Jefferson
solemnly declared was or greater hostility to the
spirit of republican, government than a standing
army.
You may ask why do I consume more time ais
. nisslna the Democrat* than In speaking of th«»
1 Republicans. My reply is: It's an easier and
i quicker Job :o strike an open enemy rtscht between
! the eyes than It in to tear off the mask from the
: face of a pretended friend and show him to be the
hypocrite that he i.». The great mass of the peo
ple from whom I have entertained the hope of
support are in no danger of voting tho Republican
ticket. They know the Republican party stand* for
claps legislation. They know that If stands for na
tional banks, corporate wealth and special privi
lege. Hence. I have no fear that the people to
whom I shall appeal will make any mistake about
th«» Republicans. For I know they will do as I
shall do— right the Republican party with all the
power thnt Is In me as lon* as I shall liv*. T?ut

their purpose Is the same as that of the Republi

TIBBLES ALSO INFORMED.
W. Jay Forrest, of Albany, who has made a
close study of his neighbor. David B. Hill, for
yearn, made the speech informing Thomas H.
Tibbies of his nomination for Vice- President.
Mr. Forrest is violent in his use pf words, and
he was somewha* abusive in referring: to Bel
mont. Hill and John G. Carlisle. He predicted
that ona hundrid thousand Bryan Democrats
I would vote the WaUJti ticket in November, and
that Park<r W. ul* be burled under an avalanchs

Thomas 11. Tibbies. Mr. Watson's running
mat*, is a ruddy faced Mm of perhaps seventy
ftve. but there Is notbirj decrepit about him.
Hello. Tibbies said the familiar friend In
th» rtar seat, the person who always Is at
Cooper Union, to greet new faces.
The candidate said that he had spoken in
Coop»r I'nlon twenty years ago. and was glad
to be back. He attacked Judge Parker's reason-
Ing about the gold standard, and said: "Why.
God might change the gold standard, but Parker
says no.' 1 . .
Mr Tibbies went into a somewhat extended
discussion of money standards, and advocated
the quantitative theory of money, the same as
did Mr Bryan In lbt*» and 1000. He Insisted
that about all the money in the country is con
trolled by twenty-ttve or thirty men down In
Wall Street, and he culled these affluent person?
"the monumental thieves of all God's ages."
An Invitation was extended to those present
to greet tho candidates at a reception at the
Union s.iuar~ Hotel immediately after the meet-
Ing adjourned. Thither there repaired more
than a thousand people, who kept Mr. Watson
and Mr. Tibbies busy handshaking for more
than an hour.

Chief Engineer Olney of the Bureau of Pn^.

this corner had been delayed greatly by the re
cent strikes on the various buildings near fcj
which are in the course of construction. H?
said • that the work of paving at this nisei
could not be done until these buildings «•»»
completed, as the workmen were compelled t»
pile materials in the street. This would imply'
that the yawning chasm which exists at this
important Intersection will not be close.} m,

buildings is completed. If such is to be the
case, the dense cloud of dust that hung over th»
neighborhood yesterday and penetrated into
every corner was a grim foreboding of horrors
yet to come. As the theatrical season is ceuiag
on. and Is accustomed to reach its height in tae
