DEMOCRACY’S COAT OF ARMS
(Candidate Parker, in a letter to a
correspondent, says that the arms of the
Parker family show three stags and a
chevron charged with a trefoil slipped.J
Old Dame Democracy sits down
And knits her puzzled brow
Into u deep ami lasting frown—
"1 can't decide, somehow,”
She sighs, "which one of these designs
Shall be my coat of arms;
The figures and heraldic lines
Have rather lost their churms.
"For instance: Here’s u mule couchant—
His ears are both askew,
His legs all limply lie aslant
Cpou a field of blue.
A placard tied upon his tail
Tells why he cannot run—
This motto: ‘Do uot work, but wall
About 10 to 1.’
"Again: Here’s one discreetly drawn;
The mule is ou its feet,
Hut thin uud rough and weak and wan
As though it did not ent.
The shadow of a portly man
Seems to be set net ride,
And this dark motto meets my scan:
‘Pet (irover Cleveland ride.'
"And here a tiger is rampant,
With red lights for his eyes—
The mule, concealed, is very gaunt
And looks ou with surprise.
He reads the motto, which is big,
And which is printed thus:
‘In old New York you have to dig—
The gruft lodongs to us.'
“They will not do. Ah, here is one
That 1 will have to choose:
A mule, in fright, before n gun,
His ueek held in a noose.
Ills heels tied by a telegram
Inscribed: ‘From Parker—quick!’
Helow, a platform, built of sham—
The motto: ‘You can’t kick.* ”

ACCEPTANCE SPEECH.
EXHIBITION OF AMBIGUOSITY
AND CIRCUMLOCUTION.
Finett Collection of Telling Allusions
on Kecunl Failure of Republicans to
Control Weather or Stay Progress of
Comets Noted by the Hage of lS.opns.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Committee: I have resigned the posi
tion of ltoad Commissioner to accept the
nomination for Deputy Overseer of the
Universe offered me by the grandest
convention of the grandest party in ex
istence. I have deemed it best to open
the campaign with a resignation, in or
der that 1 might become accustomed to
the thing and, without undue attrition,
be enabled to exhibit the same spirit in
November.
1 shall endeavor to express myself in
a manner which will be no discredit to
the party of which 1 have become the
standard bearer. I shall not assume the
methods of speech of a distinguished
predecessor, for it is not my style nor
iiubit to coin such original expressions
as "innocuous desuetude" or "pernicious
activity,” but 1 flatter myself that, in
the verbal feats of ambiguosity and cir
cumlocution, 1 can give an object les
son, as it were, to the eminent fisherman
to whom I have made allusion.
Praises the Platform.
The sublime platform recently con
structed at St. l.ouis, apparently out of
loose boards left over from the Louisi
ana Purchase Exposition, is assuredly s
marvel of compact quotations from an
cient and modern sages. As a matter of
course, it makes a liberal use of the de
ceased Thomas Jefferson—as a party we
always use the deceased Thomas Jef
ferson—but it goes farther and promises
to correct every known and a consider
able number of unknown wrongs and out
rages, wherever, whensoever and how
ever they appear in the boundless uni
verse. It vows to pry into, inveatigate,
drag out and jack up the scandals and
breaches of public trust, which we all
know exist everywhere, when we are out
of office. Gentlemeu, 1 approve of the
platform.
Liberty.
Incidentally I will now refer to lib
erty, and 1 feel that 1 may do so fear
lessly, as it is a well-known assertion, if
not a fact, that many crimes have been
committed in the name of said liberty.
Liberty is—in short, liberty is something
we always refer to in the platform.
Power a Menace.
Thomas Jefferson said about ail there
was worth saying about power, but 1
may add a few well-chosen words of
wsrning. There is danger in the very sir
of Washington—nay, in the air of the
entire District of Columbia. I do not
fear it. and I may never have to breathe
it, anyway, but, feilow citizens, I warn
you against The microbe of power which
infests the lend watered hy the historic
I’otomac. The power which seeks to
do things, to accomplish work, to create.
to finish and actively set things going
is something our historic party ia sa
credly pledged to combat to the eud.
Imagine a power so ruthless that it even
threatens to tear a canal across the
isthmus of Panama and to build vast
dams and reservoirs and irrigate the arid
reaches of the West! We are opposed
to power.
The Weather.
Without the exhibition of any undue
bitterness, speaking calmly of oar op
ponents, as should become an ex-Itoad
Commissioner, I would call your atten
tion, gentlemen, to the fact that under
a Republican administration the last
winter was the coldest In over fairly
years. What has followed? lias the
Signal Service been reformed? So far
as any intelligence has been transmitted
to me, the bureau of the Agricultural
Department to which 1 have just made
casual reference remains in almost pre
cisely the condition in which It was a
year ago. 1 wish to refer to this matter
with all broadness and dignity of percep
tion, but, while I would not directly
charge maladministration in the prem
ises, 1 feel at least justified in calling
the attention of the American people to
an existent state.
The Holt Weevil.
Furthermore, gentlemen, and bearing
in mind the graceful remarks of your
chairman, 1 would call attention par
ticularly to the boll weevil which has so
ravaged the cotton cibp under a Repub
lican administration. It is true that cer
tain ostensible attempts to check the
evil have been made, hut why should the
boll weevil have nppeared at all? What
necessity was there for a boll weevil un
der any circumstances? It is the old
story of Republican oppression of the
South. And the chiDch bug is undoubt
edly impending!
Knckc's Comet.
But, gentlemen, and 1 am not un
mindful of the fact that I Was practi
cally renominated a second rime on a
platform supposed to be thoroughly ex
purgated in spirit if not in letter. 1 would
call attention to the fact that under this
same Republican administration Mncke's
comet is to reappear again this full nud
tear its senseless way across our solar
system! The Republicans admit the fact
themselves, and having, unfortunately, a
majority of the educated class in their
ranks, including almost all astronomera,
they should certainly be conversant
with the situation.
November.
Gentlemen. I could, were I so inclined,
refer to Che fact that, under this same
Republican administration, it is admitted
that November ia coming again; No
vember, with its lowering skies and long
gray stretches of hub-deep muddy roads
and consequent strain upon the farmer's
herseflesli. Gentlemen, the farmers are
the bone and sinew of the laud. A
calamity to them is a calamity to all.
That other things than bad roads are not
uulikely to occur to some of ua in No
vember next may be a fact, but upon
that we need not dwell.
Imperialism and the Tariff.
It is quite unnecessary, gentlemen, to
allude to the fact that our utmost voics,
the longest "hswl on Unalaska's shores”
—if I may be allowed ,o misquote < 1
ly In the manufacture of a simile—must
be raised against imperialism and the
tariff. Under the heel of imperialism
what has not come to pass, but we need
not at this time go into details; it suf
fices that things hare come to pass. As
to the tariff, it is well known that under
its operation certain industries have
flourished outrageously. Under ita ne
farious workings we are competing with
the world in trade and even the farmer
is becoming, in some cases, far too opu
lent. Take, for instance, the one who
raises wool. He gets far more for his
wool than he would were the Australian
product allowed to enter free of duty.
V\ hy should the wool grower be thus
benefited? We feel, as we have felt for
a long time, that ail is wrong with the
tariff. We may be a trifle vague con
cerning our own attitude as to what we
ought, could, would or shonld do with
the tariff were its adjustment in our
hands, but let that pass.
Tronblea All 'Hound.
The land is rocked by business and
industrial troubles. Men are standing
against men, arguing, striking and oc
casionally working. Nothing has been
done to bring all this to a focns. Where
is the hand of Power? What would
Thomas Jefferson do were he with us in
the flesh to-dsy?
No Second Term.
In conclusion, gentlemen, I wish to
remark that 1 seek no second term. I
feel that even a consideration of such a
thing as a second term would be un
timely. I feel that we all, in common,
are convinced that all thought and energy
should be concentrated upon obtaining
the first one. tientlemeu, I am satis
fied with the platform, with you and
with myself. Could there be a more mag
nificent outlook for the party of Thomas
Jefferson, to whom, 1 believe. I have
already referred? Could there be an
outlook more full of promise?
BOILED DOWN FACTS.
1. In politics “the outs" want to
got In ami must find fault with "the
ins."
2. There are many good men In all
parties, but parties must be Judged bi
results.
3. During Republican administra
tions we have usually bad "good
times,” while during Democratic ad
ministrations we have usually had
"hard times." The panic of 1X1)3,
which business men remember, occur
red during the administration of dro
ver Cleveland, and. some people think,
was due to changes In the tariff urnl
the currency.
4. While perhaps some things might
b- bettered, do we went ant radical
cbnitaea in the Government policy
jaat now and are we likely to get any
more honest, patriotic, fair, able nad
eafe man for President than Theodora
Roosevelt?
England is trying to shake off the
policy of free trade which has Im
poverished her workingmen. Democrat*,
in the American paradise of the work
ingman, are trying to have us adopt the
■yetem which England, after half a cen
tury of diaaetrou* trial, la now anxious
to discard.

ROOSEVELT’S PERSONALITY.

Expressions.
SECRETARY HAY’S TRIBUTE.
Courageous, Resourceful, Frank, Patri
otic, Honest and Intelligent—Pains
taking in All Tklugs, with a Mar
velous Capacity for Work—
Hia Manlinesa Admired by
All the People.
From the New York World.
The paramount issue of thia campaign
ia not, aa you would have it, free trade,
or free silver, but you youraelf, Theo
dore Roosevelt.
Thia issue ia forced upon the country
by your unusual temperament and tal
ents—your own strong, able, ambitious,
resourceful, militant, passionate person
ality, your versatile and aurpriaiag
genius.
From Secretary Hay's address at Jack
sou, Mich.:
Secretary Hay’s Qneotlona.
“Even on this narrow issue they will
dodge most of the details. Ask them,
has the President been a good cllizea,
a good soldier, a good man in all pel*
sonal relations? Is he a man of lntsd
ligeuce, of education? Does ha know
this country well? Does he know the
world outside? Has he studied law, his
tory and politics? Hae he had great
chances to learn, aud has he Improved
them? Is he souud and strong In mind,
body and soul? Is he accessible sad
friendly to all sorts and conditions at
men? Has he the courage and candor
and the God-given ability to speak te
the people and tell them what he thtukal
To all these questions they will answer.
Yes. Then what is your objection te
him? They will either stand speechless
or they will answer with the parrot cry
which we have heard so often: He U
unsafe.
"Id a certain sense we shall have to
admit this to be true. To every grade
of law breaker, high or low; to a mi
who would rob a till or a ballot box;
to the sneak or the bally; to the hypo
crite and the humbug. Theodore Booeo
velt is more than nnaikfe; he la posfr
tively dangerous.
“But let us be serious with these poo*
pie. What are the coefficients of safety
in a chief of state? lie should have
courage; the wisest coward that trot
lived ia not fit to rule. And inteflk
gence; we want no blunder-headed hero
in the White House. And honesty; a
clever thief would do Infinite mischief.
These three are the indiepensables. With
them a man is all the more safe If bo
has a sense of proportion, a senso of
hamor, a wide knowledge of men of
affaire; if tie seeks good counsel; sod,
finally, If he it a patriot, if he krvee his
country, believes in it and aeekj la all
things its interest and its glory. AB
men may make mistakes; bat sarh ft
man as this will make few and no grave
ones.
“Such a man is oar President and «v
candidate.”
The Independent Preeo.
Naturally, Vw/ emphatic indorsements
of President Roosevelt’s personality and
candidacy comes from acknowledged
party organs, bat note the tributes fronn
influential Democratic ami Independent
papers in which the pertinent interrog^
tives of Mr. Hay are answered.
r rom the ritrsburg I>isp*trh (Ind.)t
As a party choice, none more saga
cious. none instinct with elements ef
popularity and exultant strength, nous
possessing more courage, the frankness
and honesty that magnetize, could hav*
been made. lie has deviated not a hair’s
breadth from the impulses of a noble
character or from promptings of a pro
foundly informed statesmanship.
From the Chicago Evening Post
(Ind.):
Such is the man chosen to lead ths
Republican party In this presidential
year. A man of courage, a man of sin
cerity. a strong man who frankly takes
the people into hla confidence, tells nbem
what he believes to be right, and thst ha
intends to follow the right at any coat.
From the Review of Reviews (IndJi
The President is a man of such varied
talents and activities, ami his adminis
tration has already been so full of ex
ceptional and diverting incidents tlmt it
Is quite too seldom remarked in tshe news
papers that the chief claim to distinc
tion in the present regime at Washing
ton is the high grade of regular, ordi
nary administrative work that charac
terizes the various departments almost
without exception. So indomitable a ca
pacity for work has probably never
been known in any executive post in th*
United States as Mr. Roosevelt shows
from morning until night every day, and
without apparent fatigue or impairment
of energy
From the Outlook (Ind,):
lli< utterances on all political issue*
have been more explicit than those of
' any other public man since Abraham
Lincoln, and his political experience and
personal courage have enabled him to
impart his convictions to his party.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledgw
(Ind.):
He has been honest, patriotic and th*
country kuows it.
