KEEP ON REPRINTING 1T.

Judge Alton e. Parker's refusal to stand for the
Presidency platform which ignores the money
question and leaves IN binding force Democratic
doctrine the free silver coinage planks Of 1896 and
1900 does signal credit TO the firnness and courage
of his public character. Judge Parker is widely
respected in this State for the conspicuous ability
he has shown in politics and on the bench. and
for the purity and integrity of his private life
Every who knows him esteems him The Re-
pubIicans of New-York have nothing but good
words say about him in his private capacity and
in his judicial activities. His message. therefore,
10 the convention. which, misled by the unfounded
OF his representatives at st. Louis, Of
fered him nomination on terms offensive to his
sef-respect, viii surprise familiar with
Judge ParkeTs honorable achievements and hon
orab.e record.
That is what The Tribune said Sunday morn
ing last. 1t was entirely just and deserved on
The facts as stated, and we are glad to reprint
it. We observe that Democratic papers IN all
sections of the country are pleased with ii, and
are also reprintng It We are glad Of that too,
for probably their readers are not blind enough
TO miss the perfectly we'll known fact, which
we now carefully point out 10 their Editors.
Judge Parker did not refuse 10 stand for the
Presidency on a platform which ignores the
money question" He sent no such refusal"
as was reported in New-YOrk at the time the
above lines We're written.
On the contrary, he merely dropped the veil
which for months past he had studiously held
over his opinions, and which he made the New
York State Convention hold over them, too; re-
vealed the secret that he now personally thought
the gold standard fixed, and said that the con-
vention, which was only able 10 nominate him
by a twothlrds vote. ought now TO know II, so
that if this view was unsatisfactory 10 the
majority, they might nominate somebody else.
Not only did he not refuse TO stand on a plat
form ignoring the money question" and ''of-
fensive 10 his selfrespect." but the convention
expressly told him that his personal views on
that particular subject made no difference. as It
was not issue in this campaign. They added:
Therefore there is nothing in the views ex-
pressed by you TO preclude man entertaining
them from accepting nomination ~ said plat
form" So he accepts IT; and there he IS, a
much smaller man than he seemed in the dis
patch on which The Tribune of Sunday morn
ing commented.
And now, will THE Brooklyn Eagle" reprint
its statistical proof that instead OF being strong
in New-York, Judge Parker is shown by the
election returns 10 be one of the weakest candi-
dates the Democracy has put before the people
for ten or twelve years?

CITY T4YES

Our tax rate announced IN the various bor
oughs Of New Iork is not generally regarded as
seriously excessive but it should be borne IN
mind that the budget for this year was settled
by the Low administration before it went out
Of office, and that Tammany deserves no credit
for the principal parts of it. Next year, after
the Tammany Board of Estimate has appor-
toned the expenditures, the people of New York
will find out what sort OF municipal manage
ment Colonel Mcclellan is giving us, so far as
the outlay Of public funds is concerned.
Great numbers of Cities towns and villages
have higher tax rate than that imposed upon
this metropolis in 1904. 1t cannot be disputed
however, that the valuations of real estate under
our laws ara extremely high. and such vaIua-

awhile, the President might have amiably con-
scented TO see them, in consideration or the
trouble they had taken, but they preferred to
be abrupt and departed leaving him IN igno-
rance Of their arrival When he did learn OF
their visit he sent them word that If they cared
to come again at a convenient time he would
be glad to see them. Having thought the mat
ter over, and perhaps received instruction IN
the proprieties from their superiors In the or
ganiZation, they seem to be satisfied with that
proposition, and will probably appear some day
next week, duly announced and accredited.

lect have clutched at as an omen Of victory at
