Choice
OF Democratic Can
didate for President
Discussed
speclal Do pallY Leader.

Special to Daily Leader.
Washington, D. c., Dec. 24.-The
Democrats here in Washington who
are the leaders of the party have been
indulging in good deal of discussion
and speculation as to presidential can.
didates lately II is a favorite theme
of conversation wherever politicians
do congregate. Apropos of This subject
the infornsltion given me the other
day by one of the leading Democrats
of New York state may prove of in.
tense interest to the Democrats of The
country and may guide them right in
making up their choice Of candidate.
asked him the straight question
about Judge Parker and his strength
in the state of New York, inasmuch
as the Parker boom seems to have Ia.
ken on new lease OF life since the
withdrawal of Grover Cleveland. He
answered me unbesitaungly that there
was much misinformation concerning
Judge Parker and his strength in New
York He said that Judge Parker. in
stead of being a strong man really was
weak man.
IAN that the people know about him
Is that he was elected chief Judge Of
the New York court Of appeals by
about 10000 majority in 1887. but they
do not know how that result was
brought about said he "The truth
OF the matter" he continued. and to
quote him literally. lis that he is the !
result of duke election, and that
under normal conditions he would
have been defeated from 10000 to 50.-
00o majority
ANY man can take the official elec.
tion returns of the state Of New York.
Tor The year 1897 and figure out the
result for himself. It will be remem-
bered that there were three tickets
for Mayor of the city of Greater New
York in that year The Democratic.
or Tammany ticket was headed by
iaobert Van Wyck, the Republican
ticket by B. f Tracy, Platts candi.
date. and the Citizens Union ticket by
Seth low, the present mayor
The Democratic candidate for chief
Judge of the court of appeals was
Parker. ana the Republican candidate
was Wallace a very unpopular candi.
date, because he had been forced on
ihe ticket by P,att On the Citizens
Union ticket there was no candidate
for chief Judge of the court Of appeals
aud on that very circumstance hangs
the election of Judge Parker. The
Citigeps' Union ticket got nearly l50.- \,
600 votes IN Greater New York. and
OF this number of votes about three. II
fourths of them were Republican on
account Of the unpopularlty OF Tracy, Il
PlaU's candidate for mayor. and the 4
other oneiourth were Democratic I
votes Very few of these vo,ers were h
sufficiently Interested in the election
of either Judge Parker or Wallace to /
mark a vote for them outside OF their ,
OVID column so q will be seen thai
nearly the whole OF the 10000 votes ,
were practically tdwn away SO far

Charles Emory Smith treats on the
Pennypacker libel law in the indie
pendent. and to begin with explains
thar the Governor Of Pennsylvania is
"a man Of rugged honesty and inner
n rectitude of character" but with
"a guileless simplicity and "a mental
twist which led him into ludicrous
displays that afford an unbounded
theme for satire SO simple is Pen
nypackcr, says Mr.. Smith, that he
grew hot over the cartoons provoked
by his silly remarks, and the polite
ians seized on his personal ~vexation
as expressed in his inaugural address
as a convenient excuse for applying
the muzzle which they had long want

suit was the law in question, which
Mr.. Smith pronounces zone OF the

by an American Legislature And
then Mr.. Smith speaks ably as TO the
value Of the newspapers as a check or

all affairs.

For Three Days He Lay Trembling
in an Abandoned
Cellar.

American personal freedom is too
wonderful for me to understand
said Emanuel Brooks, a refugee from
Kishinef, Russia, as he watched the
municipal court proceedings this
morning. Every man here seems to
have fair chance for his liberty
even after he is arrested
This was Mr.. Brooks first impress
sion of American justice, but after
hearing his account Of Russian meth
DDS one could scarcely wonder at his
surprise.
He was in business in Kishinef at
the outbreak of hostilities and was
forced to take refuge in an old, aban-
doned cellar in the rear Of his house.
He hid there for three days. Many
times during his confinement the
house and premises were searched by
the mob, but his hiding place was
not discovered. He was weak and i'll
aged to escape to another province,
where he was with friends until he
started for America.
The nihilists, says Mr.. Brooks, are
gaining power rapidly and shortly be-
fore he left Russia they began to hold
open revolutionist meetings and were
undisturbed by the police, who fear a
general outbreak il any of them
should be arrested. The revolutionists
are practically the only educated PEG.
pie in the land, and as education Is
almost reverenced by the lower classes
they are gaining an alarming hold or
the populace. The students form the
nucleus of the whole organization ant
have things their own way on thu
