PARKER A DISAPPOINTMENT.
studied silence Disgusts His Sup
porters.

[From the Boston Transcript
It has become comical thing in
New York comical to the Republicans,
but tragic 10 the Dcmocrats-th the be-
hayior of Judge Parker when lie comes
to town He goes to his hotel. He
shuts himself up Nobody can see him
but the persons with whom he has ap,
puintmcnts. and they tell nothing that
he says lie has not spoken 10 the
public on one of these visits nor by
any chance to any one who will speak
to the public. lie has now been in
New York nearly a dozen times since
he was nominated. At first he has
spent only night, but now lie stays
days mt time, and he has practically
taken personal charge of the cam
paign. He has secret audiences with
men all day every day he has been
here, and yet no reporter of a single
paper has caught a word that he has
said except two or three remarks about
the weather. Nor does the public
know what he does or what he says
in his political conferences. At the re
cent reception given 10 him ut the
Manhattan club he would not speak.
Such a silent candidate for the preSl-
deney not only was never heard of be-
fore, but no man would have been be
lieyed who should have said that any
candidate for the presidency could be
so silent Every conceivable effort has
been made to induce him to make at
least one public address during the
campaign. But it IS given out that he
is immOvabie III his silent resolution.
But Mr. Parker has Il studied silence
that is driving his supporters almost to
madness. for they are beginning to ask:
Is il studied? Can lie talk Did he
ever talki Has he anything 10 say
Did he ever say anything that the pco-
pie could understand or care 10 hear,
his one famous telegram always cX-
ceptedY The fear is creeping over
them that perhaps he has nothing to
say except such argumentative doctrl-
nal things rs 20 to make official speeches
and letters of acceptance.
There is something almost stupid In
such conduct This is the talk you
may now hear in disappointed Demo
cratic circles. What's candidate for
but to make as favorable an impression
as possible on the public: Especially
what Is the bounden duty of silent
ana unknown candidate but to say
something. 50 that the people may
come to know him.

Roosevelt has shown himself to be not

does great things and does them
grandly.
Is it surprising that he should be an

The Bennett -Moulton Co.

The Bennett Moulton Co, which is
playing 81 weeks engagement at the
Johnson Opera house, played, perhaps,
the most successful performance Of any
50 far. Wednesday evening. when the
feautifuI war play The Belle of Vir-
t,ini"." was given before a big au-
di4nce one feature of the engage
rncr-- in this city was the invitation ex-
tened by Manager Mckay to the
rneirb-rs Of Heath Post, G. A. r., to
attend this performance, and in ac-
ceptan.c Of his generosity a body Of
SOM sixty members of the Grand
Army had seats in the hall. The piece
was one especially adapted to an au-
diplIce made up as il was and the play
s.rs hal Very sEI. ID hrtic listeners and
admirers in tE" r..Iiks "f tn" veterans.
The presentation of the play was all
that GOULD De- wished for from an arts

Changes to Northern Bank Building.

The Northern National Bank build
ing is to be remodeed i'll some respects.
kcr.airs to the present roof have been
contemplated for some time so that
low it mas been decided to make the
building three full stories IN height and
build a fiat sloping roof.
The building is occupied by the Hal
lowell Savings Institution as well az
the Northern Bank. and although il
may not be generally known, ii was
the first brick building built in Iiallo-
well. The building WAS 1emodeled in
$3.50 although structurally it is the
same building erected probably more
than 50 years ago. The builder was
probably practical craftsman, as the
building is as firm and stable as if bu,
a few years old. 1t was built and oc-
cupiel by Nathan Batchelder, one OF
the prominent traders in town.
Referring to the buildings in the vi
entity of the bank, it may be said that
the store south, known as Union block.
replaced a wooden building which was
standing when the bank building was
built. For many years after this the
space now occupied by Spaulding's and
Leigh's stores was vacant and good
view of the large amount of shipping
in mid-stream was to be had at this
point.
