But will Mr. Roosevelt have a mer

Tom Watson, Mr.. Roosevelt's side

annex, says he will. "The unspeak
able Addlcke” agree with Watson.
Former Senator Pefler, of Kansas,

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

York In bidding for votes In announc
ing his annual picnic on East river.

TOAWDMBMNr ' ~-—
"Tbe lode pent vote, Including the
'fickle labor element,’ is according to
this circular, to be obtained befbre
success can be had. 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. Bliss Is the treasurer of tbe Re-
publican National Committee, with

These are tbe last words of this ex
traordinary circular. 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. *

Mr. Hunter gives four reasons for tbe
destruction of tbe plants in tbe fall.
First, be sajs, fall destruction pre-
multitule of weevils which
would
otherwise become adult within a few
w eks of the timo of hibernation.
Aon d a proper manipulation will
bring ab ut the destruction of a great
many weevils which are already adult/
Third, it has bceo shown cinclusive

the winter are those which reach ma
turity late In tbe scasi n. Those ma
turlng are unable to survive the long
period of hibernation.

makes it pess b e to practice fall

tbe early planting ot the crop tte fol

Tbe proper time for the destruc

tbe affidavit of J. M. Richardson, bn

Alderman Oiiveio, arore at this
juncture and stat d that he only wish
ed to call attention to the f ct that
the report of the c mamittee and res
olution of council both seemed to have
been prepared beta e the e« idee ce was
concluded and tbelr action seemed to
ferrtd, Is to cut tbe roots two or three
itlsbes below tbe surface by tbe use of
an ordlna'y plow or lister. The
other is poll tbes'alksby the uss of
a lever with a toothed notch wh'cb
grasps the bare of the plant. Tbel.t.
ter process is belt r wbeo the plants
ha'eb en killed by frost. When they
are green or tbe ground is dry it is
frequently a difficult matter to remove
them with these levers. The drpart-
mtn.’s ge. eral recomrm ndatlon.
therefore, is that the plants should
be p owed out. After the staks have
'TKtnme* dry enough, they should be
burned.* - - •

The p...iut may be rat ed that tbe
burning < f the plants in tbe fall re-
mov(3 valuable fertilizing constitu

practice would reduce seriously tbe
fertility of the s 11. Mr. Huntei’s an
swer to this is that the pn sent gen

additional diaft upon tbe so'l is in
