Gov. Roosevelt Is probably convinced by this time that there are some Bryan Democrats In New York "If Sir Thomas Upton has gone Into the corner business to stay." says Joe Loiter, "he had better make arrange merits In advance to bury the corpse" Joseph has been In the corner business himself. Mr. Croker lads an odd tale of Roose velt. He says that the Rough Ruler onty ronseuled to become the vice presidential nominee after he had been assured that McKinley was a very sick man. ar.d could not last bis term out. Mr. Croker aaserts that this Information came to him through u Republican “who Is on the In gtda." The total registration In New York city foots up CU.IRO, an Increase of about 11 per cent, over the largest registration heretofore recorded. In previous Import ant elections an average of about D4 per cent, of the registered vote had been poll ed. Should that proportion hold goal In the election next month. New York city's total vote would be in the neighborhood of flO&OW. The serious illness of the I lowagcr Em press Frederick makes It likely that her mother.

Lately, how ever. be has become one of the most rabid of the supporters of "Brummagee Joe” tn his policy of annexing the while Boers of South Africa. Annexation, there fore, wouki aia-tn to be a babil which grows upon one. Kabbt Charles Fleischer, of Boston, one of the most prominent Hebrews In the country, voted for McKinley four year* ago. "I have spent some part of the past four yoars," he says. "In regretting that vote " He will not make the mistake again, bat will vote for Bryan oxt month. He looks for hard tiroes wtthtn the next four years, imj matter who Is elected, and belter times following, no matter who Is elected. "In nny case,” he says, "give me a decade of material hard ship and suffering with our country's Democracy untainted rather than a ren tury of unbounded prosperity under an Imperialistic i a public."

Kentucky has enacted an el.vaion law to take the place of the Goebel law. but M ta not to go Into effect until after the presidential election. It la unfortunate that thr law was not enacted soon enough for the approaching election to he held under 11. Several months ago we pointed out that the presidential election might ta- sat dose that the result would depend on the election In Kentucky. And If that should bo the case, ami that slate should give Mr. liryan u small majority, ll la almost certain that the Republicans would dispute the result ami carry the election Into CongrertX They would Insist that the election In Kentucky was not a lair one— that It hail been carried by the Democrats by unfair means. The chances are of course that Mr. Bry an will carry Kentucky by such a ma jority that there will be mi grounds for disputing hi* right to Its electoral voir, but, assuming that he will carry the state, his majority may be small. The feeling between the parties there t* extremely bitter, and the Repuhltcant. as well as the Democrats, are going to makn extra ordinary efforts to elcig their ticket. Th Democrats have practically admit ted that Ihe law Is an unfair one by re pealing It. To that extent they have fur nished the Hepuhlt.hmi with an argument tn the event that the right to the state's electoral vote should lie contested. And It looks as If the Kentucky quarrel would get Into national politics even If there should be no dispute over the electoral vote. There Is almost certain to be con tests between candidates for Congress Home of the districts are pretty evenly divided between the Democratic and Re publican parties. If there Is a chance for u contest a defeated candidate for Con gress Is pretty certain to take It. Anel the KepuhlMin* would court a contest of that kind lit order to get a chance to attack the Goebel law If for no other nel son. It Is to be regretted for more rea sons than ono that the new law ikies not go Into effect until after the presidential election. The New York Sun's ullack upon Gen Hubert K Mr, In connection with hi* name having l>**cn voted Into the Hall of Fume, has called forth a spirited, argu mentative reply from Col. A.

THE MOHNING NEWS: FRIIXY, OCTOBER 2. 100a thh ropiximw iiKtHD mow. The Mlddle-of-thr-Road Populist* h*v* st lasi beet, heard from. Mr. John M Parker, the Chairman of Ihe National 1 Committee of that party was given a | chance yesterday lo sjjTihrough Hit newt* papers of Ih* country that "this me mor al)!* campaign Is drawing to a close," Ju*t why Mr Parker should refer to Ihe cam paign as "memorable" Is one of ihe things that Is not easy lo understand. It would be appropriate for Senator Jones, Chairman of the Democrat)- National Committee or Senator Hanna. Chairman of the Hepubll can National Committee, to call It "m<m orabtr." because Ihelr respective iar'l s have been pilled against each other—have occupied Ihe entire atienllon of the coun try-bul Mr Parker s |atiy has not Ixen In ih* con lest Practically nothing hs been heard of It or from 11. It has been as quiet as If It were dead and. as a umtter of fact. It is In a moribund ce .- ditlon. What sci nia lo trouble Mr Park’r at Ihls lime, and what he while* the people to know. I* that four year* ago ”;h- greft principles of Populism were prostituted that the greed of political pirate* night be oatlsfled with power and plunder." He seems lo ttnd satisfaction, however. In the assertion that the Middle-of-l ho-Road r ganlxailon "la again In the hands of fruc Populists who will never surrender It to either of the old parllee." From the present oul'ook there will !■• no occasion for thoe* who now have con trol of II to surrender their contro,. Thr organisation I* melting away >o fas that within another year or two there wbl le nothing of It to surrender. The fact that Mr Parker, In the greater part of hi* ad dress, confines himself lo ancient history, instead of dealing with present condition*. Is ample proof that the branch ol ;he Populist party which he represents tin seen Its best day*, and that ll Is bul lit tle more than a name. Still. Mr. 1 erker seems to think ll* corpae Is worth srvlng. because he < lose* his address as follows •’Let nothing drier you from doing yur whole duly In the work of saving the l’eo pie's parly In ihe coming election ” The Inference Is that Mr. Paiker thinks then IB danger that the remain* of the par y will bo mode ;.wv with l<efore ele tlcn day I* over He la unne. essarlly dl turiMfel ovr the matter. till VAIS’S HBMKOI FOR THE THt *T EVIL. In answer to questlona by the New lurk Herald. Mr Bryan named the legal rem adles he would recommend for smashing the trusta. They are as follow#: "First -Enforce the demand in the Dem ocratic platform for legislation which will place trust-made articles on the free list. "Second— Provide by law that before any corporation organised In any stat* shall iki business outside ol that state. It shall he granted a license by Ihe Federal rov‘rnment. "Thlr4-Provlil# that the lcen** of < corporation doing Interstate business ho forfeited the moment the corporation at tempt.* to monopolise any branch of bus iness.” In connection with Mr. Bryan’s answer the Herald published Interviews with a number of well known lawyers to the ef fect that the proposed remedies wouki no# accomplish the object aimed at Home of them raised one collection and some of them another. The most seri ous objection was to the second remedy, for the reason that It would lake from the stales rights which they have-that It would lend strongly toward# the Re publican doctrine of centrsllxatlon. Hut the fact must not he overlooked that ob jections would be raised to any remedy that might be proposed. The difference between Mr. Bryan’e po sition In respect lo trusts and that of Mr. McKinley Is that the former has a plan for dealing wHh them and that Ihe loiter has none. Mr. Bryan shows that he Is In earnest, whtle there Is no evklence that Mr. McKinley proposes to do any thing to protect the people against trusts. In fact, Mr. Hanna, who le the spokes man for Mr McKinley, soya there are no trusts—that Is. such trusts as the govern ment Is called upon to destroy. If Mr. Bryan should he elected there would be an earnest effort to get rid of the trust evil, while If Mr. McKinley should lie given another term trusta would have everything their own way. just as they have now. It la openly charged that the reaaon the Republican party does not take a more deckled stand against trusts Is that It In drawing heavily upon them for money with which to conduct its cam paign. If this rnarge ta well foun<led the country wouki lie more trust-ridden dur ing the next four years. If the Repub lican party should be successful, than it Is now.
