The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1904-07-15

York is united, and in saving $50 l
deny the charge that has been spread
broadcast over the country that
there is discussion. In the conven-
ton whose instructions we delight
to obey there were two resolutions
offered and each of these invites the
country to consider the fitness and
character of our candidate. The
first was 1.-The Democrats of New
York favor the nomination for Pres
ldent of the United States of that
distinguished Democrat and eminent
Jurlst of our own State, Alton
Brooks Parker; and the delegates
selected by this convention are here
by instructed 10 present and support
such nomination at the approaching
National Convention, and said dele
gates are hereby further Instructed to
vote and act as unit in all matters
pertaining to:said. convention, in &C.
cordance with the will of. the ma
jority of said deleg ates. And this
was adopted. The other resolution
was realizing that electoral votes of
New York are absolutely essential
TO Democratic success we. submit to
our brethren throughout the country
that Alton b: Parker, a Democrat
in the prime of life, has been elected
by a majority. of over 10, 600 to,the
chief position in the judicial system
of this State, and for six years has
discharged the duties of his high
Office with such unvarying dignity,
such ability and scrupulous fidelity
that if his term were to expire this
year he would undoubtedly be chos-
zen to succeed himself by the con-
curing votes Of 3, air his fellow
| citizens"
Therefore, repeat that this is
! the unanimuos voice of New York
inviting the country to consider the
fitness, ability and availability of
our candidate. The country, anx-
ious to win in this great crisis, call
ed upon New York as the battle
ground. New York answers with a
candidate who carried the State by
5000 majority. The country call
ed upon New York for the best of
its brain and blood, and New York
answered with man who cut his
way throughout poverty and toll I'M
til he found the highest peak of
power and honor in the State. The
country called upon New York for
a democrat, and New York answers
with a man who learned the simple
lessons of democratic faith in the
furrowed field, who took them with
increasing strength to the bar and
finally honored them by his exalted
station on the bench-a man who,
throughout his career from poverty
to power; never in fair weather or
foul forsook the standards of his
party faith or deserted the colors of
command. The country called upon
New York for democrat free from
factional dispute, and New York
answered with man friendly to all
factions but favorite, and afraid
of none; a man who will take coun-
sci and courage of both, but who
will take the bitterness of neither
man who will not stir the hatred
of the past nor share the aciimony
of the present, but who will lead us
TAP toward the future into a cloud
less atmosphere of party peace.
The country called upon New York
for man who measured up to the
statue of his lofty place aud New
York answered with a candidate
WHO grew from youth to man il the
humble walks of life; who lived and
learned what all our common folk
must live and learn; man who
| ripened with advancing years in the
rich attainments of the law until he
went, by choice of those who knew
him best, to hold the heavy scale of
justice at the highest point of our
great judicial system, where, with
the masters who drive commerce
over the wheel of time, he surveyed
to the very ground every inch of
this great Republic and with ex-
banding vision the material growth
with glory of his state.
"The country called ugon New
York for man to fit this, the criti-
cal hour and place in our national
life, and New York answers with 4
man who puts against the strenuous
sword play of swaggering admin
istration simple faith in all the
perfect power of the Constitution,
man who puts against an executive
republic the virtue of constitution
al republic, man who puts against
executive usurpation a knowledge of
and deep love for the poise and
balance of it's three great powers, a
man who puts against the stealthy
hunt with the big stick a faithful
observance of constitutional re.
straints.
"The country called upon New
York for a man of stainless charac-
ter in private and public life, and
New York answered with "a nan
whose path leads from the sweet
and simple Preside of his country
home where he enjoys the gentle |
society of his family, to his place of
labor and honor at the head of one
of the greatest courts in Christen-
dom. And now here, through his
active and useful life, has aught but
