AT the Des MONIES encampment the following
adopted in the constitution the objects of the
order. nau,y:
"First-To preserve and perpetuate, with
firmness. but without animosity, the principles
of the for the preservation of the Union,
contended for many battlefelds.
"Second-To exact from the Government
proper appreciation of the services of the
Union soldier in the preservation of the integ-
rity of this nation and just recognition of his
claims.
"Thrd-Practically as well as theoretically,
to secure recognition of the right of the Union
soldier to preference for positions of public
trust. and for employment by the Government.
"Fourth-To support the election to positions

ously to antagonize every who is inimca
or even merely Indifferent TO his interests
Fifth Effectively TO for the members
of the order and the widows and orphans of
those deceased; and.
"Sixth-To complete and enduring
forcement of the logical results of the of
the rebellion, which results include the discon-
American citizenship the elevated plane of
political and legal equality"
SO far, membership in the order has been
fined to batt!emen and the and grandsons of
battlemen.

POLITICAL and having all the necessary machinery and
being equipped in experience to act vigorously, it
would seem that no extraneous association, for the
same purpose, is requisite
To give an idea of the effect of organization and
cooperation, l would call attention, for example, to
the fact that there 10000 soldiers in the State of
Illinois, and that these could insure desired and de-
sirable election to any position of the State.
As to the entire country, the Pension Bureau es-
Inmates that there are still 1,032,41S soldiers of the
civil alive, excluding deserters To these add
their sons and grandsons. well as the sons and
grandsons of over million comrades who rest at
Arlington and in cemeteries all over the world, and
even half of such force, properly organized could
not only change the political complexion of any Con-
gress. But COULD DETERMINE ANY PRESI-
DENTAL CONTEST.

Judge Parker for Governor.

"All roads lead TO Rome as all indi-
cations point to the nomination for gov
ernor by the New York Democratic
State convention next month Of Judge
Alton B. Parker" said J. E. Van Auken.
OF New York, leading Wall Street
broker. in Che lobby OF the New Will
lard last night. There is a general
feeling throughout the State" said Mr..
Van Auken, that Judge Parker will be
nominated for governor by acclamation.
The Judge is not a candidate. but then
he is Democrat OF the class that never
shrink from the call of duty. He is the
strongest man in the party. not alone
In New York, but in the country, and
II he is nominated he will surely be
elected. And his election will be fol-
lowed by his nomination for the Presi-
dency In 1904. During the past few
weeks I've met and talked with leading
Democrats from every section of the
United States, and the consensus of
opinion was that the New York Dem
ocracy could redeem the State this fall
II 1t would nominate Judge Parker for
governor. Now when there is such a
strong sentiment throughout the coun-
try in favor of the judges nomination
it cannot but help have an influence in
the State convention. In my opinion
there will be no other name than Judge
Parker's presented to the convention" 4"
