Did ever a shifty politician utter a more bold-faced perversion of what he real* ly b* Hewed? If this were true, the t>r>f%k of the contributions to the re- pub) i< in nampalyn fund would he (.pent •! tomorrow, and Bryan would be deprived of one of the weapons he la now employing with most deadly ef fect against tt>a Republican candidate and party. w oaa earner* Mr. Roosevelt that the ft*feat of the republican nominee would bring lasting satisfaction** to more chan half of the people of this country,, not because they admire Bryan nod .consider Taft a dummy, but beca .se they want tha republican par* ty dislodged from power In order that the form Pt government established by their fathers may not perish from the earth, What is the difficulty, It may be asked, If more than half of the people wish to retire tha republicans from power? The answer le simple, and It is that so many do not feel free to ex* presa thetr wishes through the ballot box. Being In the employ of the tariff-fed trusts, and living from hand to mouth, they are desperately afraid. In these piping times of republican •‘prosperity, M of losing their Jobs and finding no other*. Fair warning was given them of the temper of their masters when the ateel trust In Ohio not only sent out Its employes to strengthen a Taft demonstration, but put a uniform on them In order that there might be no,-dodging. A go In the republican* are complain ing that they ran hardly get a cent ot money with which to run the Toft ampalgn, but no Xstute observer be lieve* a word of It. This Is a shrewd scheme to deceive the people. “The ob ject* of the** ostentatious pretenses •f poverty are two-fold,•* says tha Phi 1 * adelphla Record. "One I* to conceal oa much as possible from the American people the enormous sum* of money that are pouring Into the Coffers of Treasurer'and Promoter Hhcldon from the trust benaftclares to corrupt th* elections for president and congress. The oilier Is to deceive the democratic management a* to tha extant of the raaourcea tor promoting the ejection of Taft and a national house of represen tatives to maintain the existing sys tem of tariff spoliation." The gobbling up of the steel and Iron Industry of the South by tha ateel trust, with th# connivance of "truat- bustlng" Roosevelt, will long be re sented In this section, even though there be a hair doten democrats in every southern atate who foollrhty Imagine that there la something |» be galnod by voting for Roosevelt’s dummy. GRIEVING HIS FRIENDS. Th* newspapers that favor tariff re durttnn and. for tome Inscrutable tea son. also favor th* election of the r# puMlran nominee are no little .disturb *<1 ovor Mr. Taft's peralatent charge that the panlo ot 1899 was due to the Gorman-Wllson tariff bill of lift. Moreover, they are giving film fair warning of the consequences of hit foolishne*a—to employ no harsher term. v , The New York Evening Poat, for ex ample, eays: “If we may Judge from letters which coma to us, and from the comment which every one hear*, something like two hr three thousand hesitating voter* must be turned from Mr. Taft every time he expounds anew hla peculiar doctrine about th* Wilson unit ami lha panlo dr Ult. Wa do not recall any selection of an Issue* by d oandldate In any previous campaign, eo thoroughly calculated to do a intnl- maim of good and a maximum of harm t# hla political fortunes. It even aur pawses General Hancock's innocent de- scriptl. n of the tariff a* a local Issue.' Th* 4*outh Dakota audience, to whom Mr. Taft described the Wilson bill, on Tuesday, a* that great tariff measure,' •under the influence of whldb wheat went down below fifty cent*,' may pos sibly hav* included two or three farm era so densely Ignorant as to suppose that the two things had sore* relation one another. Out tha South Dakota speech was duly telegraphed and print ed elsewhere and we can assure Mr. Taft that for every muddle-headed farmer wbo might have been deluded, a hundred Intelligent reader* of hi* words, among hla natural supporters in other localities, were stirred to In- dig nation at them.

A more unfortunate statement has not yet bean mnde In th!* canvass, and If II attracts the general attention which It deserves tt Is .not unlikely to make Mr. Lnngworth the liurchard of toe campaign. It la well known that Mr. Roosevelt.

The two were on their way back to Mrs. Cook's, and were within a block of thfr house, when they met their tragic fate. • The !»ng island railroad track* curve sharply at Bor ough avenue, eo that It Is Impassible to see a train coming from either direction. Thera Is an added danger tn that Borough avenue u a new thor- oughfaro. not yet provided with a watrfhman at the railroad crossing. English and Miss Murphy were Just stepping on the tracks as the Amxgon- aett express came flying along, out ward bound from Long Island CUy, at fifty miles an hour.

Before the train could be brought to a stop It had swept on some dis tance beyond the scene of the trag edy, The grinding of the wheels under, pressure of the emergency brakes, fol lowed by the Jarring and stopping of the train, threw many passengers from their seats and caused a panic In the coaches.

To the Editor of The Telegraph: — I notice In Tho Telegraph, of even date that you warn democrats In black type against certain ticket* for the elate election Wednesday next, the tickets referred to ha\ing- been printed and generally circulated by the re publicans, and being a duplicate In every respect except one of the offi cial democratic ticket, tho exception being that the republican ticket car ries only the negative side of the dis franchisement amendment. You bane this very timely wurnlng on the fol lowing statements mado by your At lanta reporter In The Telegraph of October 5: "A large number of negroes will take part In the election on account of the disfranchisement Issue. While they will all vole against the amendment their votes will bo given th* regulav democratic candidate. It Is believed. Republican* will also vote the demo cratic ticket. "Plans hgve been taken by the state democratic wxecutive committee to in sure the adoption of the disfranchise ment amendment by printing only one *ld” of the question on the official ballots. Tbosit who fall to take notice nf this question will vote for the amendment; If both sides were pre sented and no notice taken, such votes would be lost. "It Is well, however, that voters closely scan all ballots at the polling places on election day. THe republi cans have printed JOft.OOO ballots, car rying th* names of all the democratic candidates but with only the negative side of disfranchisement presented. These will be distributed throughout the state." 8lnce you have become Interested In the success of the disfranchisement amendment, to the extent of warning democrats against pitfalls laid for It. ( call your attention to the following extract from a circular letter of In struction sent to the democratic exe cutive committee of Putnam county under date Of September 2ft. 1109, and presumably to every other county dem ocratic executive committee In th# state by the atate democratic exeqptlve com mittee. and signed In writing "B. M. Blackburn, secretary:” "It la very Important that all ticket* hear the constitutional amendment In the exact words aa they appear at the foot of thta tlcket, otherwise they can not be Iftgftlly counted. If your local commlttse dsslres to print th* negative aid* of these two amendments, you may do so simply by Inserting the word 'against' and scratching th# word 'for.'" You will observe that the ticket thus suggested is Identical with that pre pared by the republicans, and agalnat which you warn democrats, cx.'ept that It also provides for tho negative on the question of allowing the new county of Ben HIM to have a renresentatlv* In the legislature. Such a ticket. If It has been adopted hr a considerable number of county democratic executive committee* a* suggested, wilt seriously endanger the ratification of the disfranchisement amendment, unless the voters who ta- vor that amendment t"k# car* to mark out "against” and write "for" on that part of the ticket.
