arrived here to-day, assuming the character OF
amiable but sadly disappointed peacemaker
rREAcIERoUs CHARACTER
of the proposition made by John Kelly be easily
understood when Judge Parksr's position with regard
10 Tden is recalled to mind. Judge Parker was the
originator and leader of deep laid secret conspiracy
against Governor Tidens nomination in which he was
joined by the Canal Ring, whose frauds and rob-
bcrss Tilden had exposed and attempted to punish
HIS opposition TO Tlden legitimate
and manly, not open and above board but carried
IN cowardly manner under the cloak and mask Of
assassin The consprators met Judge Parkcrs
residence, and well known canal operator and ex-
Commissioner, closely connected with the Ring,
one OF the number. The conspiracy was, therefore,
not against Governor Tilden alone, but against
that principle OF reform which he had initiated the
State government and which forms the sole living
issue in the present campaign and the only one on
which the democratic party stands the slightest chance
OF winning. To nominate Parker therefore. would bc
to abandon the policy Of reform Initiated by rlden in
the State and TO abandon also all hope OF winning in
the Presidential election. OF course Governor rilden
might as well initiate the example OF Governor sey
mour and the field as allow Judge
Parker's name to be placed on the State ticket.

those who favor his nomination, ana the

prevails that he s Tdens choice. There is no doubt,
however, that he Is regarded by democrats lacking

Tllden and antTiiden factions still seems inevitable.

When such IS the lceliEg united and vigorous cam
