and disaster.
| Never in our political history has a

Judge Parker did in this dispatch
is not necessary to discuss at
length the excuse given by the man
ayers for not inserting a monetary
plank-that the money standard is no

committee on resolutions, after a con-
test lasting sixteen hours. permit Mr.
Bryan to throw out a plank that SIM

rected through Judge Parkers> timely
and resolute action the question would

party would have entered upon an
other campaign of decentralization ana

The party can now enter upon the
campaign with courage and hope It
has candidate who is the antithesis

Nomination of Judge Parker
| 1t was hardly expected by those most
| hopeful of Democratic harmony and
success that so satisfactory and inspir-
| Ing result would be reached with 81,
| little delay and with such cheering evi-
dence OF unanlmity and renewal of the
| old party spirit as has come with the
nomination of Judge Parker. There is
| every reason why all shades of differ
| ing sentiment should be acquiescent,
| satisfied, and little later on, when the
full wisdom of the choice made be-
comes apparent, enthusiastic. Judge
Parker, while acceptable to the more
conservative wing of the party, has al
ways kept strictly within the lines and
will not be disposed to ostracize any
one for differences of opinion in the
| past.
The more his character and views
are investigated and discussed the
stronger his candidacy will become.
/ Born of sterling New England an
| cestry, he retains all it's essential vir-
tues, without it's narrowness and an
| gularities. Sprung of stock that has
always kept close to the soil, he smacks
OF 1t still, still loves it. and finds his
| happleSt hours and most refreshing
recreation in caring for and cultivating
the acres he lives on. Not that there
fingers about him anything of the rus
| tic. He is gentleman of culture and
polish, noble figure on horseback, as
on the bench, and man who would
| give distinction to any circle. When it
is said that the fitness of his selection
to be at the head of the highest court
! of the great state of New York has
never been questioned, it means he
ranks high among the great lawyers
and jurists for which that state is emf
/ nent.
That he will, if elected. rank high
among presidents cannot be doubted
While his political and personal views
! both tend to the simplicity and con-
] serVatiSm which characterized the
/ early days, he is awake to new issues
and thoroughly familiar with the po-
lltical thought and history of the times.
/ His bearing and reticence up to now
indicate great dignity and sense of
propriety. With many of Mr.. Cleye-
/ lands qualities he possesses more of
] Mr.. McKinley'S conciliatory and popu-
lar temperament than Mr.. Cleveland
had, and will be certain, if successful.
to bring the party to a condition of
unity and efficiency to which it has long
i been stranger. Judge Parker's candi-
/ dacy will appeal to the conservative
element of the American people every
where. Many Republicans are tired of
/ the spectacular, and nervous for fear of
/ the unexpected. Judge Parker's election
would bring us back to a period of
| quiet, when it would be thought neither
desirable nor necessary that something
should happen every day. The country
needs rest.
In his personal character and home
1 life Judge Parker fills exactly the ideal
of average Americans who would have
! their representative men creditable and
/ conspicuous for their high qualities
without being In any way inclined to
| show or notoriety. He is an upright,
| faithful citizens, a model husband and
father, genial, kindly neighbor, and
| in the truest sense man of the peo-
| pie.
The attitude Of the convention shows
/ that there will be no dissensions In the
approaching campaign, and we conf
IDENTIFY predict that its nominee will
grow stronger every day as the canvass
progresses, and will be handsomely
elected in Noyember.-Cincinnati En-
