already been printed-that he personally planned

prBLIC DISAPPOINTMENT.

| II IS announced from Esopus on the authority
! of an intimate associate that Judge falhei'

didate 10 be improper. Will act accordingly anu
that "the only condition upon which he VIII
make any speech anywhere Will be the fact
that he has some definite thing 10 say ana that
| ''he is convinced by his own reason that some
given time and place best suits the saying of
''it there and then" This explicit statement is
accepted as authentic by the Democratic press,
and il seems necessary to conclude, therefore,
that the voters will be compelled TO 90 10 the
polls without having become much better ac-
quainted with the Democratic candidate than
they now are. He reserves the right 10 make a
speech here and there in case any topic of COM
manding Importance presents itself 10 his mind,
but the probability seems to be that such an
occasion will not arise. 1t Is unlikely that any
additional and urgent issue will be developed
hereafter and his speech of acceptance did not
indicate disposition on his part to attempt TO
lay one or more of the existing issues before his
countrymen in a light. 1t is, should
say, rea sOnably safe TO assume that from now
until the election the Democratic candidates
only utteranCe on public questions will be made
in his formal letter about six weeks hence
From the general point of view. think
that Judge Parkers decision IS 10 be regretted.
Prior TO his nomination, owing partly TO cir
cumstances and partly to temperament he had
given the public few opportunities TO ascertain
his views on national affairs, and 1t must be
confessed that his recent speech TO the nOtifCa-
ton committee did not go far toward satisfying
the natural and legitimate curiosity Of the
country. Indeed II has been so dlversely inter
preted by his most devoted and anxious sup
porters as TO increase rather than diminish in
a multitude OF minds the previous uncertainty
TO his political opinions. We dare say that
many persons will feel that they have right
to know great deal more about n man for
whom they solicited TO vote than they have
heretofore been permitted 10 learn about Judge
Parker and that they should not be Obliged 20
wait until October for what may prove TO he
nothing more than an incOnclusve amplifca-
ton Of the unsatisfactory and actually confus-
ing address which he delivered fortnight ago
But, waving the question Of obligation we are
sure that the people will be generally dsap-
pointed at the announcement that the Demo
cratic candidate means to deny them the pleas
ure of seeing him at close range and hearing
him discuss the issues
From the personal and party point Of view. on
the other hand, Judge Parker's decision NAV be
wise. A succession Of speeches which, whether
because Of lack Of practice or for any other
reason, produced an impression OF timidity and
mental incertitude such as was generally de-
rived from his recent response to tho commit
tee, could scarcely fail TO be injurious.
New-York tribune., 1904-08-25

Judge Parkers newspaper supporters are still
struggling valiantly TO find some common
ground TO stand on. Each friendly critic is
persuaded that his Interpretation Of the Judges
rather oracular and murky utterances is the
correct one. and each belabors his neighbor for
misrepresenting the candidates true purposes
and Intentions. THE Evening POST took a try
last Saturday at defining the real issues" Of
the canvass. Yet even its conciliatory and per-
suasiye logic fails 10 uncover a true basis Of
harmony-a canon Of Interpretation to which
warring editors may subscribe as authentic and
final.
