Comment on Judge Parker's telegram
to the st. Louis convention is generally
favorable throughout the country. In
Washington few business men were will
10 be quoted and most of the politicians
are away. But the politicians and news
papers are everywhere deeply interested
and almost as generally favorabIy i'm
pressed-as the following will indicate:
John r. Mclean:
What the Democracy most needed
was leader-eficient, intrepid, self-re-
liant-and Judge Parker has shown that
he possesses every needed quality. The
nomination of former Senator Henry G.
Davis as Vice President was a master
stroke Of policy"
The Hon Simon Wolf:
ION Saturday morning coming from
Gaithersburg to the city. after having
read the Democratic platform. | said
to "A gentleman seated next TO me. that
I was willing to wager that before night
a telegram would be received from Judge
Parker. declaring himself for the gold
standard; that the convention would re-
cede, and Judge Parker would be given
the credit Of being a great and honest
man.
What I prognosticated transpired
As to whether this piece of stage
scenery is real or pre-arranged 1t is not
for me 10 say, but If an ordinary mind
like mine could grasp the situation.
why should not the astute brains Of
Hill and Sheehen have outlined Just
such a possibility?
THE Republican party has always
been in the open, and outspolcen on
every question. Its candidate. from
every standpoint is high-toned and hon
orable, whose opinions need not be
forced from him. but he is manly and
fearless at all times.

to the Republican convention:

team. Neverta eless, we have no fears
OF pulling through in the end with a
good victory FOR Mr.. Roosevelt. 1t will
be only necessary to redouble our efforts
