NEED NOT BE NEW YORKER,

The Democratic papers in New York
State are beginning to sing the old song
we have heard before, to the effect that
If the party wants success in the next
campaign it must select a New Yorker
for its candidate for the Presidency
We had thought that when Mr.. Whit
rey, Mr. Hill, Mr.. Coler, and some of
the other bright lights had been laid
uron the shelf New York would be will
ing to look beyond the borders of that
State for the head Of the Democratic
ticket, but it seems we were mistaken
Chief Justice Parker, of the Court of APP
pcals, is the man now being doomed by
the Buffalo Times and other papers in
the State.
1t was at one time supposed that Judge
Parker would be a candidate for the
governorship instead of Mr.. Coler but
he could not get his consent to give up
a certainty on the bench for a chance
to be Governor.
The Buffalo Times contends that the
nomination of 20 New York man of I'M
deniable integrity and ability is abso-
lutely necessary to Democratic success
in 1904 All must concede the integrity
ana ability of Judge Parker, but we do
MOI concede that his residence in New
York State adds to his integrity and
ability or the probability of his election
should he receive the nomination. In
riher words we 90 not believe it Is impos-
sihle for the Democratic party to sue
coed EXCEPT when man from New
York heads the ticket. The party would
win lust as easily with a man of ''unde-
nlable ability aud integrity" from some
other Sood State.

MR.. WIsE'S N0(0GlETY.

We said yesterday that A1r. John s.
Wise would gain nothing by histatest
effort to Insult and degrade Virginia.
The papers throughout the country are
commenting on his speeches before the
Federal Court in this city, and but few
OF them have good word for Mr.. Wise.
Even the papers which disapprovc the
cause of ignorance of the situation or
for other cause. condemn the disfran-
chisement of the ignorant and ~enal
southern voters. do not approve Of MIR.
Wise's methods and condemn his stump
speech before the Chief Justice.

a lawyer, engaged in prosecuting legal
contention. will find more or less
sympathy among the northern people,
with whom he makes his home. but
such a man is harmless before the
grandest judicial tribunal in the world
Nevertheless. sooner or later the STATE
Constitutions of several OF the Southern
States, including Louisiana, Will be lu-
diciaily examined. That Is q. contingency
for which the southern law officers must
be prepared"

on the statement Of a northern paper
that Mr. Wise had lost his mind and
become a mailman. says:

cityt, a good-sized fee and notoriety are
not to be despised, and when both can
be obtained at the same time some lit
tie sacrifice of honor and State pride
do not betolsen madness, but rather a
cool and calculating reason. No; Mr..
Wise is not mad. He has turned his back
on his own State and his own people.
and has made UP his mind that In his
New York career he has no need for Old
friends or old principles. He has made
some fame and money through this
course, but the name that will stick to
him longest is the gift of the southern
press-'the renegade Virginian. /"

riety as well as fee he has 1t, But
