belated Parker declaration for the gold stan
dard. and all agreed that il the State convention
on August : should attempt to reverse the
party on the financial question by adopting n

cratic leaders toward catering to the demands

that steps be taken at to prevent the State

other Indiana districts. and the action of the
platform committee of the State convention will
be awaited with uneasiuess by radical Democrats

vention. who has just returned from there. Is
in this city Asked for his opinion OF the con-
vention's work. he said;
Il am naturally not satisfied with either

tion OF Judge Parker secured by fraud and
deception. Had Judge Parker spoken before
the convention he did after the nomination
1t is safe to say that he would never have re-
ceived the nomination The money question
discussed before the committee plat
form for over fifty hours. Judge Parker was
fully advised OF the differences and OF the re-
suit through the press dispatches. II not by his
personal representatives. but he silent as
clam until the nomination was made
Had Judge Parker sent his telegram to the
committee even to the convention before the
nomination. 1t would have been as brave and
as honest a course that pursued by Mr.. Bryan
in 1900 But Judge Parker waited for hours after
he had been nominated and until he and his
friends felt that the action OF the convention
could not be undOne before he declared his
position on the money question. IL was a shame
less trick. I think, far from being Mandatory.
that Hill and Parker cannot be too strongly
condemned for their trick upon the currency

The New York Times, in a recent
editorial took up the study briefly oil
civic pride. 1t does not believe the
merchants and business men of New
York city are doing all they should for
the municipality; it considers New
York selfsatisfied and says so. In
summing up its discomfort with the
attitude Of New York merchants in
general the Times pays the following
tribute TO Denver.
1t is well enough all these things.
But why stop at this2 Why not drink
in some OF the spirit Of any Western
clty-for example, Denver. That city
sent a famous drum corps to Boston
during the G.. A. r. reunion. The hun
dred or SO lads beat the drums and
sang the praises OF Denver. They
wanted the G. A. r. reunion in Denver
next year and got 1t.
New York send out a drum corps ?
Impossible. Terrible!' That is what
the average merchant of New York
would say. And why? If drum corps
will bring visitors to New York then
let New York get drum corps"
