SERVANT AND NOT MASTER
Parker Is Taking Commands from All
Of the Nasty Cliques Of Dem
~ ocratic Party.

With ridiculous inconsistency the
same organs of the democratic party
which raised the loudest cry of "anti-
Imperialism" have welcomed Judge
Parker's nomination because they say
that he is the master Of his party.
These journals assert that they have
found the Man whose authority will
hold In check the delinquencies of the
party. This imperial-democratic COM
bination is strange one, but It Is
only In this way that certain Parker
advocates can excuse to themselves
their Identification with the party Of
obstruction and disaster. ~
But the fiction that Parker Is big
ger man than his party is rapidly dis
solving when viewed In the light. of
the passenger list of the Esopus rail-
road station. To the careful eye the
much Wanted Parker telegram never
appeared masterful. Judge Parker and
his managers submitted to the Bryan
objection to inserting any reference
to gold In the st. Louis platform, al
though Hill had gold plank all writ
ten out. That was not mastery, but
yielding. Then when on the day. after
the nomination the gold democratic
papers refused to support Judge Par.
ker unless he would make a declara-
ton on the currency question, the Judge
by noon of that day had written and
sent a telegram declaring for the gold
standard. although he had voted twice
for Bryan ON the silver platform. Was
that the act of master?
All the revelations at Rosemont since
the nomination was made, says the
Troy IN. W Times, indicate that the
judge Is not directing the rebellious
elements of his party, but taking COM
mands from them. Belmont was prob
ably the favorite Of the Judge and his
intimates for chairman of the natioanl
committee. but when objection was
made in certain quarters Belmont
was declared out Of the race. Then
German was desired. but German re-
fused to take orders from Esopus, and
the man whom Hill and the lite CO.
terie that succeeded in nominating
Parker wished least of ALTON Tag
CART, of Indiana,-was forced upon
them as chairman of the committee.
Now comes Charles F. Murphy to
Rosemont. leading the tiger 80 that
Parker may see its size. Murphy has
said In q public interview that unless
the right kind of nomination for gov
ernor were made Parker could not get
the vote of New York state. Did the

cratic state committee. IS
Instead OF Judge Parker showing
himself the master Of his party. he has
become the servant Of even 30 repug-
nant An element Of that party as Tam
