Judqs Parker's Regularity.

The Petersburg Index-Appeal has
undertaken to prove by sort OF mega
tive argument that Judge Parker voted
for Bryan in 1896 and 1900. A gentle
man in Petersburg who has seen what
the SPECTATOR has said on the sud-
ject, and the argument of the Index
Appeal, writes the SPECTATOR as fol-
lows:
Editor Staunton SPECTATOR:
1t seems to q rair minded Peters
burger that the Stanton SPECTATOR
has all the best of the argument in the
controversy as to how Judge Parker
voted in 1896 and 1900 Only Judge Par
ker Can say how be voted and this ne
has never done, so far as the public
knows. Yet be should have settled
this question long ago. 1t is simply
assumed that he did vote for Bryan.
This assumption is nothing in his Ia
vor 30 long AZ the matter is left IN
doubt. Indeed it would be better Tor
him for il to be known that lie I'D not
vote for Bryan rather than leave the
matter where it is; for as it IS, VIII t
becomes of the claim of fearless indie
pendence based on his now famous
telegram to the st. Louis convention
But the Index-Appeal says. in suit
stance, that if he had not voted for
Bryan he would have said so. why
leave the matter in doubt :? Is he
afraid of offending Gold Democrats by
saying he did vote for Bryan If be did
On the contrary, they would all adj
mire his fearless Independence. We
want him to quit playing into Tbs
hands of the Republicans, and we hope
the SPECTATOR will succeed in its at
TEN pt to force his hand. 1t certalni,
cannot render the party a greater bel
vice.
