year and which made him a forceful
quantity in State politics. AT that
time there was not what subsequently
came TO be- well known, a Cleveland
Hill antagonism. And Democrat
could be earnestly for Hill without
being classed as anti-Cleveland, and
vice versa. In these days it is GUS
tomary on the part of the uniformed
and malicious to point out the fact
that Parker was anti-Cleveland be-
cause he was chairman of the eXecu-
tive committee of the State commit
tee in that first Hill campaign. AS a
matter of fact there were no more
devoted adherentS of the cause of
Clevelandism than those of Ulster
County, Il fact recognized in Washing
ton in this that the administration
ealled Augustus 'Schoonmnker, the
Democratic leader of Ulster, to be
Interstate Commerce Commissioner;
Thomas e. Benedict to be Public Prin-
ter and offered to Alton b. Parker
the coveted position of First Assistant
Postmaster General. Judge Parker
refused the office on the ground that
he was a struggling lawyer and could
not afford to forego his practice and
because his aspirations and ambitions
were wholly in the line of his pro-
fession of the law. So it is that Alton
b. Parker in accepting the manager
ship of the Hill campaign of 1885
made no declaration of factionship nor
ranged himself in opposition to any
thing politically save to the Repub-
lican side.
A Brilliant Campaign.
The situation on the Democratic
side after the adjournment of the
nominating convention was singular.
The contemptuous refusal of Flower
to accept the nomination, the no less
contemptuous declination of General
Slocum to fill the vacancy, the refusal
of others to come to the rescue, gave
such a blow to the Democratic cam
paign in the beginning that it was be-
lieVed that the battle was lost before
il was even begun. This was followed
by a long list of refusals on the part
of those who had been solicited to
take the management of the cam
paign. No one seemed to be willing
to ally or identify himself with what
seemed to be necessarily a losing cam
paign. In this juncture, when the
organization of the campaign, none
too long in time, was being delayed
for want of organizing means, Robert
A. Maxwell, then State Treasurer,
ever a pronounced Cleveland man,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
under the second Cleveland admins
tration, suggested the name of Alton
B. Parker as one eminently fitted
for the duties if he could be persuad-
ed to assume them, coupling the sug-
gestion with the assertion that such
assumption of duty was not in line
with the course of life Parker had
laid out for himself. At Hills soli-
citation Maxwell FASTENED to Parker
at Kingston, and persuaded him to
meet Hill on the Hudson River train
that afternoon. The proposition made
was not received favorably by Parker.
1t was not in line of his endeavor. 1t
was an interruption in his career as a
practicing lawyer. He modestly doubt
ed his capacity for that sort of work,

the up-country Democracy for many
years. were in Washington with the
new Democratic administration, Dear
ing important parts. The divisions in
New York County were still marked.
The County Democracy having been
earnest in the support of Cleveland the
previous year, when that of Tammany
had been sullen and reluctant, thought
it should have all the results and was
demanding control of the State re-
mocracy and the privilege of naming
the gubernatorial candidate liinss
County's position was peculiar 1t
had no friendship for Tammany; it
refused TO a"quieSce in County De-
'nocracys pretent;ons a11 Wls not in
support of Hill. The upstate De-
mocracy as a whole was disposed to
do that which the national admins
tration should indicate, in a desire to
support the first Democratic adminis-
tration in quarter of a century But
the head of that national administra-
ton was firm in the belief that it
should exert no influence on the situ-
alton and that the State should settle
its own matters uninterfered with.
It's members from New York were di-
vided as to the proper nominee. In
the meantime Hills friends were at
work picking up delegates, so that
name was the only one behind which
was a solid disciplined body. The op-
position was not concentrated on any
one. There had been a change Of
leadership in Tammany Hall and
rather as an opposition to the County
Democracy than as a matter of prin-
ciple the Tammany contingent de-
clared for Hill. Kings came in after
ward and mainly because of the as
sumption of the County Democracy
leaders of the right to dispense ma
tional patronage. And so Hill slipped
into the nomination by a bare ma
jority. Up to this time there had
been no consideration of candidates
for Lieutenant Governor. But so
soon as the gubernatorial nomination
was made. and under the circum-
stances. the Hill people felt the ne
cesSity of the nomination of a con-
spicuous name to strengthen the
ticket. Roswell 2. Flower was nomi-
mated and promptly declined but not
until after the convention had ad-
journed. 1t fell to the State Commit
tee to fill the vacancy. The Repub-
licans had nominated a popular SOL
der in the person of Joseph B. Carr
and Hill regarded the nomination of
one who could divide the soldier vote
of the State as essential, and not only
desired. but made a strong effort to
persuade General Slocum to take the
nomination. This General Slocum de-
clined and with some heat and after
no little discussion General Edward
r. Jones, of Binghamton, was taken.
Now in all of these events Alton B.
Parker was with his Ulster County
people and their allies in the upstate
counties who were for Hill, and at
that time he had not the acquaintance
of Hill.

Political History.

Again it is said that he was offered
the nomination for Lieutenant Coy
ernor in 1885. Being talked about in
a tentative way by leaders is one
thing and being offered the nominal
ton is quite another. The latter i'm
plies a strong and masterful control
of the machinery of the means by
which nominations are made. no
such control existed in 1855 by any
body. 1t was transition time. Hill
was in office as ,vernor ana had

Events surrounding the choice of

candidate for Lieutenant Governor.
There was a bitter contest between
General Slocum, presented by klngS,
and Roswell p. Flower, presented ~
Jefferson. AS a matter OF fact, the
interests about the leader, Manning,
were in favor of neither and the situ-
alton was complicated by the situation
in New York City, where the County
Democracy demanded the continuance
of it's possession of all the seats of
that convention belonging to New
York County, and Tammany demand
ed admission to half the seats. Kings
having the balance of power in the
committee on contested seats decided
in favor of Tammany's contention and
offended the central leadership, which
inclined it to the demands of Erie
County, which had presented Grover
Cleveland. There were two active
candidates for Lieutenant Governor
who were waging independent cam
paigns-George Raines, of Monroe,
and David B. Hill. of Chemung; but
in the formulation of affairs Raines
had attached himself to the cause OF
Slocum and Hill to that of Cleveland.
The latter'S nomination was a conSe-
quence of that of Cleveland. Ulster
County was an available asset of the
central leadership and Alton b. Park
er, q delegate to that convention, was
in that line and on it, at work, and
one of the strongest advocates of the
policy of going to Erie for the gu :
bernatorial candidate. But he was
not at any time offered the candidacy
of the second place on the ticket. Tne
siuation did not permit it. Nor was
he at that time widely known to the
