One week from next Tuesday either Alton B. Parker or Tbedore Uoose relt will be elected president of the United States. IfGeo gi B. Oortel* you, official fat-fryer of tbe Republi can party, knows what be la talking about, It la all over but the about ng, BoUkevelt la as good aa el< cted, and the vottrg on the atb of Norember will be a mere matter of form. Mr. Bromvelt, so tbe official fat fryer wooM have tbe public understand, will have tbe jolllest kind of a walk over. Indeed be wlH hare so many electoral votes that, Tike the old wo man In the shce, with her numerous children he won’t know what to do with them. But will Mr. Roosevelt have a mer ry, or any othdr kind of a walkover? Tom Watson, Mr.. Roosevelt's side partner, who Is running a Republican annex, says he will. "The unspeak able Addlcke” agree with Watson. Former Senator Pefler, of Kansas, described a few years ago by Republi can organa as "the be whiskered and lantern-jawed oslsmity bowler," Is of the same opinion, and says so from the stump. Astrologers and palmists have been consulted and have added to this convincing array of evidence And last, but by no means leaht, Elijah II, otherwise known as Powie. the Prophet, bas bad a vision which eonttrms tbe predictions of Oortelyou and bia distinguished aids before mention* d. CAH THE PRESIDENCY BE BOUGHT? Devptte the apparent o mtidemedls played by these eminent conserva tives, Mess's. Co telyou, Watson, Ad dicks, Peffer and Djwie, Uoo.evelt will not be elected, unless supporters of Parker and Davis In New York, Indiana, Connecticut, New Jersey, West Virginia, Montana, Nevada. Colorado, Delaware, Wisconsin and Illinois prove to be less vigilant than It Is believed they are, and will be un til tbe close of tbe polls. There Is no doubt that the Republic™ managers bate planned to buy tbe prisid^roy. Evidence acoumulatrs that they are preparing to use an enormous corrup tlon fund In tbe pm chase of ih. iloai- log vote In certain states. They have been accused openly of this intention by two bigb-clias independent news papers, the New. York Time's and tbe Brooklyn Eagle. The accusation Is snpporled by that sort of circumstan tial evidence which oftentimes Is more con vino ng than direct evidence. That tbe disclosures made to tbe newspa pers named, and wolch have been published by them, and not denied by the Republican managers, are true no honest man doubts The victims who furnished the information are the heads of large corporations which are not particularly Interested In the Republic in campaign, being among tbe corporations which do not depend for business success upon the tariff, or other class kglslaton. They were "sandbagged” and forced to give large auma of money to tbe re publican national committee, the in- ferenoe being that if they failed to do •o they would "bear something drop.” Mr. Oortelyou, It should be borne in mind, was formerly secretary of the department of c immerce and labor, a department created ostensibly for the C hile benefit, but actually manage! the per.ooal and political inceie t of Theodore Rojeevelt in anticipation uf bis nomination for tbe presidency. Whether or not the infamous plan to buy tbe presidency fur Roose^tlt can be put through, depends upon tbe v.g llance of tbe local committees and in dividual voters, who are earnestly supporting Parker and Davis. Tbe Democratic national committee is lo on of evidence from every In tbe union which convinces It that the dean, unpurchasable vote of the country which favors the election of tbe Democratic ticket is at least a third larger than tbe like vote favor ing tbe Republican ticket. And the committee is convinced that the drift la with tbe Democrats at the present time. Parker and Davis will certainly win the election if the wholesale de- baanchery of the ballot contemplated by tbe Republican man&geis can be prevented. To this end the Democratic natlanal committee, with powerful aid from Democratic and Independent sources, is bending Its energies. If every Democratic voter will consider himself on guard to protect tbe purity of the ballot, Parker and Davis will jnake aa great a sweep as did devo id and Stevenson io 1892. INFAMOUS REPUBLICAN CIRCULAR. Tbe Republicaif corruptionists, with millions already in their campaign chest, are crying, begging, browbeat ing to get more. They have made a secret appeal to Wall street Interests, which belles their professed confidence in a Roosevelt walkover, but indicates that they Intend to raise every dollar possible and buy the presidency at any cost. A Wall street man who received one of these appeals from the headquarters of the Republican na- commlttee, sent It to a peisonal , Prof. Henry Lcomis Nelson, a her of the faculty of Williams college. Prof. Nelson says of It: "Its English is tbe English that. would be need by a district captain of New York In bidding for votes In announc ing his annual picnic on East river.

A great company of speakers, ‘tons of literature,' and ‘all the outfit' of a campaign ‘calls for a broad gauged management and lota of money.' "Again alluding to the lodepcn dents It Is stated: "This latter class (men not identl fled with any patty) was responsible for the election of Grover Cleveland In two national campaigns, a man of peculiar faults, utterly devoid of the qualities necessary to oote with the detles of tbe high vffloe of president of the United States. Tola unmanly and contemptible slur is made In a circular written and published lo order to secure money to be expended for the ehctlon of Theodore R.osevjlt. ‘‘The circular attributes the great building operations lu 'Ne v Yoik to tbe Repub lcan party's control of the national government, and siys that "If Judge Parker is elected those who now dwell in New York hotels will be driven to the tenement houses.’ The writer of tbe circular further re marks: T know of a hundred con cerns In this country that would ra tber give 150,000 each than change of party." * * „ "The circular then proceeds to deny Its own story of tbe prosperity which bas followed th^ administration and control of the Republican party, and its author, assuming a confidential air, says: Tf jou must know the truth, let me tell you thAt there is danger ahead! With Maryland and Kentucky out of the Republican column, with 50,000 ployment In Chicago, with thd failure'of crops in the Dakotas, with the odds agalost us lu Montana, with an Inside tight on In New York (half the Republicans ready to knife OJell (sic), with a cotton mill slump In New England, with such conditions no Republican with large . in vest ments can afford to run any risks.’ "Again: ‘Not one dollar of your money will be thrown away. It will be your bread cast upon the waters, which shall bring you. not only good returns, but you shall have four years more of, pn suer!tv. because you will be protected!” Was there- ever so shameless a promise madw in behAf uf a candidate for presideot? It is here proclaimed that a return in profit (.bread) and protection (by the tariff and from the operations of the anti trust law) will be paid back and given to camc&lgQ fund coni rlbut. rs, at the expense (if the taxpayers. r ‘Why not help a good thing? Do it today! Do It now! Hon. Cornelius N.

Comment is hardly necessary, but again It is well to repeat'the assertion of the Brook lyn Eigle and New York Timea^lhat tbe prelsdenoy Is to te purchased if it can be, and to add that this circular appeal to monied m<n furnishes eyt dence of the method to-be employed. True it Is, as Professor Nelson says: ‘The Republican campaign depends on money, not on principle, not on ar gument, but on money, and such vast sums are asked for that all Intelligent men know that tbe money Is not to go for legitimate expenses, but for cor- cuptlon, and, furthermore, tbe os cular bears evidence of the promise glvenfr tbat to contributors shall be furnished" bread" and "protedUon” for the.next feur years. In the history of all democrac'eq no such scandalous assault upon the Integrity of a people has ever Wn rnade as that which tbe Republican leaders, with Mr. Roose velt’s Cortelyon at their head, are now making. * \ Splendid Girt.

Word of a similar nature was received from Senator Gorman regarding Maryland. _ There to not believed to be as much chance for the republicans carrying that state as West Virginia, whatever course Is pursued from now on. The other state of which the democrats feel as sure! is Nevada, with its thres elec toral votes. The solid South, Mary land, West Virginia and Nevada make 169 electoral votes, just 70 lere than to neoereary to elect. There are eight states, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, De’aware, Colorado, Montana, Indiana and Wisconsin, having a total of 97 electoral votes from which they hope to obtain the requisite 70.
