JUDGE PARKER'S LETTER OF &C.
CEPTANCE.

ance which will be made public, with
simple ceremonies, at his home at
Esopus, New York, on August 10. 1t
is said that after the document has
been completed it will be submitted
to a number of the leading Demo-
Gratis. This courteous act by our
nominee is commendable, but the
people of the country feel that he
alone is entirely able to cope with
every question of passing interest.
1t is said that the letter will touch
on the following questions: Money
an elaboration of his st. Louis tele-
gram; trusts and the taritf-on the
former he is in hearty accord with
the party, and on the latter he favors
such reduction as will benefit the
masses; the right of the South to set
tie the race question without interior
ence; a strong protest against impe-
rialism.
The letter will be prepared in the
same way that has characterized
and made famous his celebrated
court opinions.
Our nominee regards the financial
issue of greater Importance than did
the convention, and he will elaborate
on his brief expression of views that
was afterwards adopted by the dele
gates. He will do this in manner
that will not be offensive to those
who still hold to the doctrine of flee
silver.
On the question of trusts, frank
and manly stand may be expected.
The extent of his views is of course
unknown with any degree of GER
tainty, but Democrats who are in
close touch say that his expression
will be perfectly satisfactory.
What will interest us most will be
plain outspoken stand on the race
issue. His plea will be to let the
South alone in dealing with this criti-
cal question. He is thoroughly op-
pose d to Federal interference or legis-
latire enactments that treat with
the franchise of commonwealth ly-
ing in black belts. He has promised
Senator Daniel that he would reaf-
firm his sympathies with the Anglo
Saxon race when it came time for
him to speak publicly to the Democ-
racy that had honored him with it's
confidence.
The above is an outline in a dis
patch from Judge Parker's home, to
one of the daily papers, and gives an
epltome of what everyone believes
will be one OF the greatest utterances
of any public MIN. Outside of his
position on currency, no one can
speak authoritatively for Judge Par
ker regarding his views on any pub
lie question. While he has always
kept himself in keen touch with what
the world is doing, yet so long as he
remained on the bench it was regard
ed as a course of wisdom not to
take a prominent part in public af-
fairs. His enemies have been sore
provoked because they could not Sc
cure an anti-convention statement,
vet at all times he was assured by
his friends that this was the only
safe course. So far as known, Judge
Parker made no effort to secure the
leadership of the party. His cam
paign was absolutely managed by
those who believed that he was the
man of the hour to carry the flag of
victory to the White House and plant
it there for the next four years. Not
until now have we the right to
know our leaders views. He will
give the vo ters an ample opportunity
to draw from his statements their
own conclusions whether or not he
Is 4 safe man to trust with the lead
ership of the greatest nation on
earth.
