enthusiastically indorsed the brave and
manly stand of Judge Parker, and that
the whole country has so favorably re-
celved 1t. The whole party is in the posi-
tin 1 wished it to be, having indorsed
the present gold standard. The financial
question is now entirely out of the cam
paign and the Republicans are unable to
drag it in. The road to successful cam
paign has been cleared
Hill talked with Parker over the long
distance telephone before framing this
statement 1t will probably be a week
before any of the Democratic managers
will be able to do any work on plans for
the campaign Hill said today there was
no immediate necessity for holding a
conference, and added that everybody
needed rest. He said the report that he
might go down to Esopus and talk with
Parker was without foundation.
