JOOSEVEU AND LINCOLN. yEGBOES LINK NAMES. Enthusiastic Bally at Cooper Union —fflgg* n * an d Woodford Speak. from an audience composed almost entirely 4 negroes, there rose at Cooper Union last eiyht such a burst of enthusiasm for the Re publican party— the party of Lincoln, who freed the slaves, and of Roosevelt, who recognizes the oolored man's rights and gives them equal place with the white men— that the great stone arches of the old hall echoed to the applause a, the name* of Lincoln. Mr Kinley and Roose «flt ware voiced by the speakers. For the Dem ecrttlc i arty— the party of disfranchlsement for the negroes in the South— there was small mercy. H;w«* greeted the name of Judge Parker and in smaller measure that of Mr. Cleveland. The meeting was held under the direction of the Colored Republican Club of the City of New- York, and was one of the largest of the cam l^iyn. It was alp one of the liveliest and most unconventional, for when a speaker would drift Into the "camp meeting" style of exhorta tion the renonses he got from the audience were as varied and fervent as any that ever greeted preacher from the pews. The hall was taronged and many were standing in the rear. Charles S. Anderson, president of the club, tad a member of the Republican State Com mittee, presided. With him on the platform were General Stewart L. Woodford, General James S. Clarkson. W. 11. Johnson. C. C. Ja robs. candidate for Congress from the Vllth DJftrict of South Carolina; W. L. Cohen, mem ber of the Republican National Committee from Alabama; the Rev. John Henderson, of Bethel Chur-h; the Rev. W. H. Brooks, of St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal Church, and John E. Rob tnfon. of the Colored Young Men's Christian As ioci'-itior.. Herbert Parsons, candidate for Con- IT***, arrivtd at the meeting when it was under way. r:.'ine most political meetings, this one began with a prayer by the Rev. Horace Miller, who suited for a blessing on the meeting, the cam falpr. and th» candidates. The Rev. Dr. Brooks tie 1 Introduced Mr. Andaman, the chairman, in a epeecli. in which he said: "A white man who votes the Democratic tlrket may be excused on th«* rlea of Ignorance. For a colored man, with his great training in the university of American slavery, it means nr<t!.::i£ but Inexcusable cussedness. If a fe« are dying for the fleshpots of Egypt the ma jority <-f us are shouting that before we will be ►lave* we'll go into our graves. We believe Id fref-dnm, this flag of ours and Theodore Eoosevelt." Mr. Anderson declared that when he saw an tudlence like the one before him, and was in troduced 'by a minister of the Gospel, he felt that earth and heaven had combined against hen and Herrick. The Republican party never made mistakes in its candidates. It had made r.o-.e tB choosing Theodore Roosevelt for the candidate for President, and It had made none in choosing Frank Wayland Higgins. a great, ./•-out-:, loyal, royal Republican, to run for governor.

In the National Convention which nominated Abraham Lincoln for President. "After these years," said General Woodford. "I come here with a heart full of the memories and Inspiration of Lincoln. Our wiee, conserva tive, but brave. Secretary of State, John Hay, said in the address he delivered in commemora tion of the fiftieth anniversary of the birth of the Republican party, that 'whatever may be the questions which confront the Republican party, we shall never go wrong if we ack what Lincoln would have done under those conditions and then try to do what Lincoln would have done." So I come to you asking what Lincoln, if he were with us in the flesh, would have us do In this contest between Roosevelt and Par ker. Lincoln was avowedly a protectionist. The Republican party stands for protection, for giv ing to Americans in America the first chance to do the work and supply the wants of Americans, not giving the chance to men of other lands. "What is our duty to the Philippines? I will not lay much stress in pointing out the strange insincerity of the Democrats, who claim that the Constitution should protect the Filipinos, when they deny the protection of the Constitution to the negroes in our own States. When a man goes into the equity court he must have clean hands. When the Democratic party seta itself up as the guardian of the yellow skinned men in the Philippines It would better demonstrate Its sincerity and ability and honesty by doing Jus tice to the yellow and black skinned men here at our own door. It will be very difficult for my dear friend Parker— don't hiss; be Is a courteous gentleman, an excellent lawyer and an honest Judge; we'd like to keep him here in this State to become a Judge again If we could —It would be difficult for him, I say to reach across three thousand miles of continent, and seven thousand miles of sea, besides, to protect the Filipinos in Manila, but It Is comparatively easy, if he believes in the guarantees of the Constitution and pledges of the Declaration of Independence, for him to go South and put out the fires of lynchings and crush the attacks on humanity, nnd see the yellow men and the black men protected by the Constitution. As I know my friend Parker" "He s a good swimmer," observed a voice from the audience. "Yes." continued General Woodford. "and he'll need all ms natatory art on the day after elec tion to keep his head above water in Bait Rlvar. Possibly :he Democratic party and its distin guished candidate are not as sincere as they might be on this question of human rights. The Philippines came to us as a result of war. It were cowardly to thrust them back, a prey to European nations. We are giving them teach ers, peace and order, and when they are fit for self-goernment we will give them self-govern ment. In the mean time, we will keep faith as McKinley pledged it, and try to lift them to a higher plane of manhood for their Inhabitants and a better future In the place among nations. "I don't know what the Democratc party has done for the yellow and black men, but I do know, that Abraham Lincoln signed the pro clamation which gave freedom to every black under the flag. I don't know that the Democratic party ever wrote into the Constitution of the State or nation one line or pledge to lift the blaok nearer to manhood. The Republicans pledjred liberty and citizenship, without regard to color. The Republican constitutions held the Idea that citizenship was without regard to race, creed or previous condition of servitude." "Go on: give "em some more broadsides," yelled the audience, ns General Woodford paused. ' It's too much like Bring on fishing trawlers." he replied. Then, his voice trembling a little, he t^ald that when he was a young man he had done what he could for the fathers of the pres ent generation of negroes. Nov.- he was an old man, and he might never be able to speak to another such audience. He wanted to say a f-w words from his heart. The future of the black man was absolutely In his own hands, said the general. If the colored men behaved taemselves, lived honestly, respected their own manhood and were true to themselves, they would gain the respect of this nation as sure as the sun would rise. In IKS 3 a woman In Connecticut was Imprisoned fir teaching: negro women. Now Hooker Washington was support «.l in hfs work by th*» best men of the South. General Woodruff* made an earnest appeal that the voters would remember the party which bad brought about this condition. General Janes S. darkson would not make any "speech." He paid that "so lone as the Republican party lived the pledges placed In the Constitution by Lincoln would never be re pealed." Mr. Anderson declared that he had to "get rid of a speech which had been moldering in his mind," and for half an hour kept his hearers laughing at his apt descriptions of the Demo cratic candidates and "issues" as contrasted with Republicans and their deeds. Running against the "matchless Roosevelt," he said, were a "mystery from Esopus and a reminiscence from West Virginia." He didn't know why they took ■board the Ancient Mariner, except that possibly he could pay the freight. The Democrats argued that there had been many strikes in the Repub lican regime. There had, he admitted. Like the Pib!ic-1 character who "waxed fat and kicked." the workmen, prosperous, could afford to strike. It was not like the Cleveland limes, when the Coj(of- armies and the poup brigades were abroad. "Those poor fellows didn't strike," said he: "they were struck" Dr. Ernest Lyon, Minister to Liberia; George Wlbeean, jr., of Brooklyn; John E. Robinson ar.d A. B. Humphries also spoke. PARKERS "DEATH LIST" TOO BIG. Taft Shows That His Estimate of Lives Lost in Philippines Is Ten Times Too Great. Ithuca. N. V.. Oct. 26— Secretary' Taft spoke to a mas.- meeting of citizens here to-night. Among other things he said: When Judge Parker leaves Mr. Atkinson, an anti-imperialist of high degree, he takes ur* an other, said to be "a recent student of conditions In the Islands." No man but an anti-imperialist, and completely blind*d by the lntensest prejudice, couM make the report of the conditions in the Philippine Islands which Judge Parker has unfortunately been deceived into accepting and giving the widest pub licity. He say» that we have wasted two hundred thou sand ';ves in the inlands. This estimate of the deaths caused by the war in the Islands, and by our !.eing In the Islands, is Quite as far from the truth a« his statement of the cost of the Philip pints to the l'nit«tl States. In this resoect h» can not t-vrn rely on the statement? of the. Democratic textbook, and wher» he obtained the information dors not appear. A careful reading of what Judge P.:rker says would !<'ac] one to suppose that he re ferred only to the loss of life among Americans, and. If that is what he mt-ana, then these are the facts. In the six fiscal ye.^rs ended June 30. ISO 4. and including the year *nded June 30. H99. there were killed of the American army, including regulars, volunteer* and Philippine Bcouts. officers and men. I.CFT. There died from disease, from accident, from drowning, from suicide, and from murder, enough of offic<r» and men in that same period to ln creaee the total lo«s of officers and men to 5.264. which seems to be a somewhat large deduction from the two hundred thousand lives stated as our losses by Judge Parker. But suppose that we in clude the losses of the insurgents as well. The of ficial reports show estimates by American officers In command In the various battles and skirmishes during the insurrection. These are purely esti mates and upon close Investigation in a number of instances have been found to be very greatly exaggerated, due to the natural tendency of one side to exaggerate- the losses of the other, espe cialH srben the dead are not counted and tht whole matter is a matter of conjecture and esti matey Even with this the number of killed of tht insurgents is shown to have l>een 15.365 in six years. A reduction of that by one-half would not be at all unwarranted, in view of the circumstances un der which the estimates were made. The meeting was In charge of the Tompkins County Fremont Club, composed of three hundred veterans who voted for "The Pathfinder" and who have declared their Intention of voting for Koose v, it and Fairbanks.

THTRSPAi. or'TOliKK L' 7. 1004. 1111- VETERANS AIiOLSED (MEEK VOX ROOSEVELT. Generals Sickles, Howard and King Speak in Brooklyn. A great crowd of Civil War veterans from all parts of Brooklyn gathered In the Clermont Aver.ue Rink last night and cheered themselves hoarse for Theodore Roosevelt, "the man of peace who was not afraid of war if it was necessary to keep the flag flying." The occasion was a mass meeting under the auspices of the Union Veterans' Patriotic League. Most of the speakers were soldiers, with Genera. Daniel E. Sickles. TJeneral Oliver O. How ard and General Horatio C. King leading in rank. There was particular Interest In the utterances of Generals Sickles and Kin?, who were formerly Democrats. The rink was filled even to the side galleries. It was an audience of gray haired men, nearly «-very one wearing the button of the Grand Army of the Republic or the emblem of the Sons of Veterans. A thousand small flags had been dis tributed among the audience, and the effect of the frequent cheering was increased by flag waving. George W. Bruce president of the New-York State organisation of the Veterans' League. «nd the pre rtrtlng officer of the meeting. In his opening speech predicted the election of Roosevelt and Higgins. "His life Is an open book. " he said, in speaking of President Roosevel'. "While other men are think ing, he Is getting there. He has taken the people Into his confidence: they believe in him and are going to elect him. I know Frank W. Higgins. too," he continued, "and I know that there has been much nonsense talked In reference to his nomina tion. I waa at Saratoga, and had not been there two hours before I saw the trend of that conven tion. Htgglns was not nominated by the leaders, but they were compelled to have him. He Is a business, man who doesn't put all his goods In the front window, and when you elect him you will find that you have elected a Governor." General Sickles won his audit nee before he had said a word, and waa cheered for several minutes. He said, in part: I am here to give a few reasons why in oldtime Democrat, as I am. finds himself unable to vote with his party. I met you here before in 1900 and 1896. Bryan was then the candidate, but I found myself unable to stand with him. To-night, it true, the candidate does not bear the same name, but he stands on practically the same platform. It is true that my old friend Judge Parker sent a tele gram—a manly telegram— to St. Louis. But, un fortunately, a telegram does not make a platform. It only binds the man who Bent it— not those who receive it. The convention did not modify its plat form, and I find tnynelf facing the same conditions as I did when Mr. Bryan was a candidate. As I could not accept him then. I cannot accept his sub stitute. Judge Parker's advisers have jiersuade.i him to haul down the flag In the Philippines. No objection was made until this year to the right of the President to indicate and point out the disabilities entitling a pensioner to an allowance- Is not old age a disability preventing men from earning a living by manual labor? Roosevelt is not the only President who has made old age a disability. Cleveland made old age a pensionable cause, fixing the -age at seventy-five. McKinley made such an order, fixing the age at sixty-five. Not until Roosevelt's time, when he fixed the age at sixty-two, was there any question of this con stitutional right. General Horatio C. King was introduced as an other Democrat who had "seen the evil of his way." He began his speech by saying: For many years Iv«- followed the Democratic flag, and I have no excuse to offer. But In 1596 the thin dilution fed out by ih« Democratic party as a f>latform was a little too thin for my political nour shment. ami I voted for William McKinley. In 1900 the gruel was even weaker than it wa« in 1836. ami I broke off all connection with the party that showed no sign of coming back to common sense, and Joined the Republican party. General Oliver O. Howard was not allowed to begin his speech until the veterans had «ung a verse or two of "Marching Through Georgia." Thf- cheers v. hlch General Howard led for "the Old Flag and Theodore Roosevelt" were loud and long. A REPUBLICAN SURPLUS. Office of Secretary of State Far Different Under Democrats. [bt telegraph to thh tribune.] Albany, Oct. 26.— John F. O'Brien has "made good." rf Secretary of State. In common with the other departments of the State government, this office, under the present incumbent, has be^ij put on a business basis. Instead of the business being conducted in a slipshod manner, it is now done on a system, with the result that a branch of the government, which wan a dm* on the treasury, now turns a neat sum into the treasury annually. From 1890 to 1883. the la*t four years the Demo crats were in charge of the Secretary of State's office nt Albany, the expenses of the office were $26.522 SO more than the entire fees received for that period, while in the last four years— to 1904 — under Republican rule. 1100,907 was turned into the State Treasury In excess; of all expenses: the above showing in connection with the fact that from April I*. I*ll. to January 1, 1534, 150 volumes of original business corporations were filed in the Secretary of State's office, while from January 1. 1894. to May 24, 1904. the number of original volumes of business corporations were 357. which is more than 200 per cent more business in that department than had been transacted in the eighty-three yean previous to IS9I. At the close of the last Democratic administra tion, in 1833. the work of recording was rive years behind. There was no general index of records mid papers of the Land Department, which made searches difficult. Every year since 1894 has wit nessed an increase in the efficiency of the .affairs of the office. The credit system, by which fees due the office were annually lost to the State, by failure of those receiving the credit to pay the same, has been abolished. This system was in entire violation of the law. as the statute prescribed what fees shall be charged and requires the Secretary of State to collect the same and turn them over to the State Treasurer. How moil this has been donr is indicated by the fact that 8*2.5^7 33 was turned into the State Treasury by the Secretary of State's office for the fiscal year ended October 1, 1904, as against WT.013 4« for the last year of Democratic control.

Last Despairing Effort of Campaign Managers of Lost Cause. With the leaders of Tammany Hall betting that Parker's plurality in New-York County (Manhattan and The Bronx) will not exceed lio. (MN>, ard with certain defeat staring him in the face in New-Jersey and Connecticut, ex- Judge Parker yesterday yielded to pressure from William F. Sheehan. August Belmont and Mayor Carter Harrison of Chicago, and consented to go on the stump for the remainder of the cam paign. His programme and speaking Itinerary until Election Day have been completed. He will speak In three States, New- York. New-Jer sey and Connecticut, and. In addition, there have been arranged receptions for him in this city and Brooklyn. The candidate will go to Rosemount to-mor row, leaving here at 10 a. m., and on Friday he will address c. delegation from Orange County. Saturday and Sunday he will spend at home. Monday he will come here and address a meet ing at Madison Square Garden, to be held under the auspices of the Parker and Davis Business Men's Association. On Tue.sday night he will attend a reception at Newark, and address a political gathering; on Wednesday night he will attend a reception here, to be given by the Parker Independent Clubs; on Thursday night he will spealfat Hartford. On Friday he will be at his headquarters here at the Hotel Seville, and on Saturday a reception will be given for him at the Brooklyn Democratic Club. He will return to Esopus on Sunday, and will spend Monday, November 7, quietly at hla home. On Tuesday he will go to Kingston to vote. Re turns from the election will be received at Rose mount over special wires. Mayor Harrison, who made a hurry visit to the city on the request of William F. Sheehan, told Mr. Parker that he thought It was too late in the campaign flbr speaking to do much good, but that if he hoped to carry any of the doubtful States he would have to get out and show him self at once, as^rnany Democrats would not vote for a candidate they knew nothing about. Never was there a greater state of chaos In a national campaign than that presented at this time by the Democrats. A month ago Mr. Parker, after thinking the matter over with great deliberation, said that he would not go on the stump, as it was more befitting a candidate to stay at home, as McKinley did in 1806. and let the people come to him. Mr. Parker's campaign managers tried to make the best of It. They said that there would be delegations at Esopus every day. and that the candidate could* speak to many thousands in that way. This seemed like a good scheme at first, but as the delegations which made the trip up the river usually consisted of less than three hundred, the managers soon tired of the Idea. The end of the visiting delegation plan came on Saturday last, when a lot of "Bob" Davls's men from Union Hill called on Judge Parker, heard his speech and then took away a<? souvenirs two of his young pigs, some stray cats and a lot of the candidate's seed corn. These. It is said, are being advertised as prizes at a big dance to be given in Union Hill this week. The. preliminary canvass of this county by Tammany Hall, showing that Parker and Davis would have a plurality not to exceed «>T>.«>oo, sent a cold chill down the spines of the Parker man agers. As thl= meant an 80.000 plurality for Parker below The Bronx, it spelled a sure de feat for Democracy. Mr. Sheehan grew desperate. He sent for Mayor Harrison, who reached this city yester day morning: at 0 o'clock. Messrs. Sheehan and Harrison spent some time with the candidate yesterday. They told him bluntly that if he didn't get out and do something for the ticket he would not have the slightest chance of being elected. He protested that he was on record as saying that he would not make regular cam paign speeches except those at his home. They retorted that the case was growing more and more desperate for him every day, and that the only thing left fr>r him to do was to try to elect himself. The meeting on Monday night at the garden will be under the direction of the Parker and Davis Business Men's Association. The chair man of the meeting will be Isidor Straus, and Hoke Smith, of Georgia, and others will mak speeches. CHEERS TOR SECRETARY SHAW. Noonday Audience Tells Him He'll Be Treas urer Four Years More. The noonday meeting of the Roosevelt ami Fair, hanks Commercial Travellers' League, at No. ;9*i Broadway, yesterday, drew a lars.> gathering. Word went up and down the street that Secretary Shaw would a-iuress the meeting, and when he ar rived he received a rousing: welcome. Ho said in part: This campaign means not alone a million homes, but it means the bread and clothes that are to be put into those million homes. It is not the strug gle for office. I am not in this campaign to put men in office. This contest is between principle*, and not between men. It is practically unim portant who are the candidates, but the important point is the platform. The Democrats promise us the best market in which to boy. The Republicans promise us the best market in which to sell. When Mr. McKinley was miking Kin tariff bill in 18S9, the famous McKinley bill, he looked over the country, over th«< list of things that wen brought in from abroad. H* looked to set if he could not give ■•- laboring; man something to do that he was not doing now. but that was being .lone by foreign labor. He put a tariff on pearl buttons. Every $1 worth that a foreigner brought <>\<--r he had to put S cents Into the treasury. Then be looked over the i;<t mi he saw the dia monds He put it tariff of 25 per cent on them.

As Secretary Shaw ended the emir? audience arore and cheered for live minutes, many going to the platform to shake hands with him. As he was leaving the hall, a voice cried.

Dr. Divine's book outlines broadly, and applies in detail, a relief policy applicable to Amer ican conditions. It is as interesting to the general reader as it is indispensable to thoM who are professionally engaged in any department of social or char. table work. Mr. HOMER FOLKS, Ex-Comm'r of Public Chmmturs, Xra York City, describe* it as "by far the most original and valuable book in its general field which has appeared in ten years." Dr. JEFFREY R. BRACKETT. Director of the School for Social Scrzice, Boston, adds : "Students and thoughtful workers in charity owe Dr. Devine a largpe debt for his new book on 'Principles of Relief.' Its name is very significant. A leader among social workers here lays down general principles to govern enlightened practice in the important field of relief of need."

Examine Carefully The Hock The thigh muscles in a sound animal ran down into a well- * knit, strong, bony and muscular hock-joint. The lower thigh bone should meet the hock at a fairly sharp angle. From thence the leg should go in a perfectly straight line to the pas tern. Avoid the smooth and neatly turned hock, especially if the' shank, as it joins the hock, is small. Choose the horse with broad, wide bone, of muscular appearance. There is always a certain amount of risk in buying a hone, no matter how careful you may be. but there is abso lutely no risk whatever in buying a VICTORIA whether it be the imposing and aristocratic Grand Victoria or the exquisitely artistic Miniature Victoria, it matters little— both eloquently t:Q of the high ideals, the consummate •kill and the years of untiring effort that have made the name of Studebaker «a preme in the world of vehicle building. r> . - Hint.. - to.— ! » •qnal to tbo tat: Wad.
