 at New York.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Judge Parker set out "whirlwinding' again last night, making two speeches, one at Carnegie hall and the other at Cooper Union, here. e
 The judge was in tiptop form His campaign managers are only sorry now that they did not send him on a tour of the country. They believe that if they had done so there would be no doubt now of Democratic success.
 The judge went first to Cooper Union, where the Watch on the Rhine'' was being intermingled with the ''Star Spangled Banner and thousands of the sons of the fatherland and their descendants awaited him.
 The German-American Parker union had invited the judge to address the German voters, and hearty welcome was prepared.
 A flight overa Connecticut has been planned by the. Nutmeg State man agers, stopping at Bridgeport, Hart ford and New Haven.
 At Carnegie hall big crowd was in waiting to give the Democratic candj- date for the presidency a greeting. 1t was several minutes before the ap- plause which. signaled his appearance on the platform died away. Then the judge spoke briefly in part as follows:
 II have come here from a crowded meeting of another great body of in dependent voters--from the German American meeting at Cooper Union.
 "We have no more independent, no more law abiding, no more useful, no more loyal body of citizens than those who acknowledge themselves the off spring of the great Germanic mother, the fountainhead of much which is best in our modern civilization.
 "In the hands of the independent voter lies the balance of power, and it is well that this is so. A country de- priyed of the advantage of an inde- pendent vote strong enough to deter mine the result of an election when moral issues are at stake has sunk to a point where mere political advantage and selfish greed alone are recognized as Swaying human action.
 "I recognize on behalf of the Demo OloLlC D1l " IhdI tIiC OuppOl JlA tAlS campaign of the independent vote gives not alone an assurance of vic tory, but an abiding faith that that for which we are contending is the right
 'Now, what are the issues upon which you are called to adjudge in this campaign? Tn very fact they are both few and simple.
 "We have grown tired of seeing in dividuals made rich by legislation, and we fear the results which have arisen and will arise from familiarizing our citizens with the idea that wealth is to be acquired through governmental fa- voritism.
 "The instant it is recognized as ac- cepted doctrine that the government of the United States is dispenser of fa-, vors that instant it becomes, I had all most said, the "duty'' of every great combination of capital to seek to con- trol the government.
 Moreover, in it's train this great evil of partial monopolies fostered by the tariff has brought its twin sister. do- nestle monopolies, to feed upon the. people.
 And the, highest reward which I shall hope to gain will be that I have kept the covenant now made with you, to be your constitutional and your du- dful representative, to the end that we, the people of the United States, may live over again in experience and in re- suit the historic days of simplicity and prosperity in this land born of high re- solves and nurtured in the truth of principles.
