DEFENDING Mr.. PARKER.

Recent Attacks or a Republican Organ

TIPTON, May 19.-[Special. The WASH
ington correspondence of tOday's Indian
apolis Journal, which refers TO the appoint
ment of James !. Parker OF this city to the
position OF law clerk in the interior de-
partment Of the attorney-generaPs Office,
does Mr.. Parker an unmerited injustice
by denominating him a chronic Office
seeker.
Mr.. Parker never sought but one posi-
ton OF public trust in his life. it being that
of representative from Upton county.
which place he filed with rare distinc-
ton. He was elected mayor Of Upton at
a time when the city was in republican
control and carried the balance of the
ticket through with him. He never
sought the nomination and was not in the
convention which placed him at the head
of its ticket. During the former Cleve-
land administration, at the solicitation of
Senator Turpie, ne went to Washington as
his private secretary and later on was
given a clerical position in one OF the de-
paTtments.

the practice OF law, being recognized as
one of the leading attorneys at the local
bar. Mr.. Parker is in no wise political
hack" AS the Journal is pleased to term

young democracy of Upton county. Each
succeeding campaign has found him on
the stump battling for his party's cause.
His personality is such as TO command re-

have ever been Inundated by his public
or private acts.

DUBLIN, May H. Special. IA member
of the liberal branch of the united breth-
rem church SAYS: al notice in THE SENT.
MEL of the 10Th special from this place in
regard TO the recent decision OF the U. 8
court in favor of the radicals, giving them
all the old property and attaching great
importance thereto.
Now the truth of the matter is that
Judge Taft of the U. S. district court over
ru ed our (the liberaD demurrer. the case
being similar to the Richmond case, which
they the radicals) gained in the same way
but afterward when the merits OF the case
were tried We gained the victory in our
state supreme court. and as their allega-
tions are entirely false. il will be an easy
matter to defeat them in the L. 5. courts
when the merits of the case are tried.
After the Richmond demurrer was de-
clded in their favor they made many mis-
representations and told many falshoods
and il that way no doubt many thousands
OF dollars vera extorted from the simple
and unsuspecting victims who belong TO
that side, and no doubt the author of
Tuesdays special had the same object in
view.
''Such Misrepresentation might have
been highly gratifying to the pharisees OF
old. but in this enlightened age will only
prove a boomerang to their authors and
the cause they represent"
