the Vladiyostock and Port Arthur

ceiyed with incredulity by the general

the correspondent. which attributed
10 General Kuropatkin the statement
that he hoped to finish with the Japa-

JUDGE PARKER AND THE pREsl-
DENCY.

There can be NO doubt that at the
present time the chances OF Judge
Parker as the prospective standard
bearer OF the Democratic party in the
coming Presidential election are on
the increase. In the State OF New
York she slogan OF the party is any
body to beat Hearst, and in their ef-
forts to send 80 the st. Louis con-
yention an anti-Hearst delegation,
the heretofore hostile factions OF the
party OF the Empire State have ap'
parently united upon Judge Parker
as she candidate who will receive the
solid support of New York. There
can be no question or doubt that If
David b. Hill and the Tammany
leaders have agreed upon united sup
port OF Judge Parker, he will receive
the undivided support OF that State,
and almost as certainly will be the
nominee of the st. Louis convention.
Democrats everywhere recognize the
necessity OF carrying New York in
the coming contest. Without this
they cannot attain success; with it
the probabilities OF success are
strongly in their favor. There Is al
so no doubt that Judge Parker 6
chances OF carrying New York, should
he be the nominee, are excellent; in-
deed theprobabilities are that with
Democratic factions there united
he will almost certainly do so.
All things considered, the signs are
propitious, and the first great step
to Democratic unity, which means
Democratic success, has been taken.
1t is said that Judge Parker has no
record on political questions, and in
some quarters this has been urged as
a reason why he should not De norli-
mated. We regard this, however, IN
der all the circumstances OF the pres
ent case, as a distinct advantage. He
is certainly a sound, safe and conserv-
alive man, who has the confidence
OF the business interests OF the coun-
try, and from whom no faction OF
the National Democracy can consis'
tently afford to withhold support.
