Is. the Republican pnrty's carrying out the
threat made In the rational platform TO
reduce the Southern representation IN
b Congress In proportion to the number OF
colorcd voters dsfranchised@ by constitu-
tions of various Southern States. This
n would mean such reduction Of the
lulilbcr4of Democratic votes in the cleo
toral college, and OF the number VI DEM
ocratc members OF Congress. that 1t
would be useless to hope to see the Dcn-
ocrats gain, control Of the government
for many years to come. ~
IT Is upon these grounds That the Dem

Parker Not to Speak.
The chief feature of the day in poitl-
s cal circles was tho announcement by Ma
tional Chairman Taggart that Judge Park
er will not make any campaign speeches
other than those he may deliver at Rose
mount. when visited by Democratic DEL
egations.
Reference was made last night to the
fact that Judge Parker was resisting
the great pressure being brought to bear
on him to make addresses5in some OF the
doubtful States. Although he has again
formally declined to naked stump cam
S4rnign, tits believed by many Democrats
that he will have to make one or two
speeches before the ca npaign Is over.
There is a widespread demand that he let
the people hear him from the iustings.
Chairman Taggart's statement regarding
Judge Parkcr's decision. OF which the
/ National Chairman approves. Is as fol-
lows: h3.
..shortly after his nomination.. Judge
(. Parker set about the consideration OF
his course of action toward the conduct
y OF the campaign. He consulted many
men OF large experience In such matters
and made an examination Of the course
n OF every successful candidate. That done.
he decided as 1t was necessary for him
TO do what his course should DO and he
caused that decision to be made general
~ known. 1t WAS to the effect that he
would not go upon the stump; that such
speeches al he should deem Is desirable to
4 make could DO made at Rosemonnt. fol-
lowing inlthat respect the Mckinley pre-
cedcnt OF 1896 u, y.

had marked out for himself, lie believed
K then. as he believes now, that he de-
cided rightly, and no amount OF entreat-5
ling would bulge him. His record during
ali his life proves that clamor will not,
move him one iota The incident Is closed
and those in charge Of the campaign full
~ approve of the determination Of Judge,
Parker.
Hungarians for Parker.
The visit which Judge Parker received
this morning from n large delegation OF
slIungarians. is looked upon as significant,
There are 10000 Hungarian voters In this
city, and they always vote together The
delegation which called on Judge Parker
to. day assured him that lie would re-
#ccIve almost the solid support OF the
IIungarlans Of New York.
Democrats are naturally jubilant at
tho enormous crowd, which was at the
reception at the Manhattan Club last
might to meet Judge Parker. There were
twice as many people present as were
