 Parker and Tammany.
 Judge Parker in his speeches ire quently refers to the pure ana uhue- filed stream of politics rom whlcR ne emerged and was advanced to the New York iudiciary. Judge Parker, If l am not mistaken was closely associated with the managers of the cam2%4gn that elected David B. Hill Governor of the State of New York.
