JUDGE PARKER AS A VOTE GETTER.

Some sacrilegious computer has
taken the trouble to assemble the
facts and figures of the occasion
upon which Judge Alton b. Par
ker carried New York by q big
majority" The circumstance that
Mr.. Parker, the democratic nomi-
nee for the chief justiceship. was
elected in 1897 by 10000 plurality
over his Republican opponent has
been appealed TO by the the gen
tlemen who advocate his nomi-
nation as Presidential candidate
next year. 1t occurred, therefore.
TO the cOmputer in question. to
look into the incident little and
see what the argument amounted
to.
1t now appears that Judge Par
ker was elected in 1897, not because
his personality commanded an out
pouring of the people, but because
some 200, 900 Republicans refused
to 90 to the polls that year. As a
matter of fact, he did not bring out
anything like the full strength
of has own party. In 1898, the
following year, Augustus Van
Wyck, the Democratic candidate
for governor, received sc, 900 more
votes than Judge Parker did in
1897. In 1900 Stanchfield polled
$4,000 more. Judge Parker's
election was an accident. 1t did
not mean that he was strong. 1t
meant, simply, that the Republi-
cans would not vote for the nomi-
nee of their own party. The truth
Is that Judge Parker got the small
est Democratic vote that had been
cast in the State of New York for
twenty years, with one single ex-
ception, and that almost any Re-
publican candidate other than his
opponent on that occasion would
have buried him in oblivion.
We have always felt sure thai
Judge Parker is an estimable gen
tleman, just and upright magis
trate, and learned expounder O
the law, but we do not believe tina
he would make a strong candicat,
for the Presidency next year, anC
this conviction is based wholly up
on the facts connected with hi,
election to the bench in 1897. Ill
did not come within 100000 of de
veloping the normal vote of tn,
party, and his success was du'
wholly to Republican disaffection
For the past six years he has take
no part in politics. Nobody know
how he feels upon any of the grea
questions of the day. He is not il
