party has suffered in the state of New
York and In the nation.

fork ana IN the nation.
Judge Parker is man of positive
ideas on all matters relating to society
and government as those matters are
used in their broadest sense. And on
these matters he has expressed his
opinion with vigor, emphasis, and
courage. Nothing but mental lassi-
tude or Incidence has led to the asser-
tion that he is without opinions.
There never was any reason why he
should advertise them. There is a
wealth of them on record, to be OBJ
tanned by all caring to make the eff
fort. There runs through them all
stands apparently immovable and that
is almost protest against the ten
dency OF the times on the part of any
of the three great divisions of the
government to encroach on the com
stitutional functions of the others. He
sees in that tendency dangers that
threaten the fundamental possession
of power by the people and the possible
loss of their power to express their SOW
ereigu will through their representa-
tives chosen by themselves. He is
safe rather than sensational. He
thinks for himself. There are no
clouds in his convictions. His capacity
for the presidency is indisputable. His
character is of the highest excellence
and his Democracy is so absolute and
SO honorable as to be nowhere capa-
BILE of attack or of doubt by any DEM
ocrat in the world.
Parker is a strong candidate. Of
that let all in interest take timely no.
tice. The fact that the committee on
resolutions agreed on the Platform so
as to avoid fight on the floor of the
convention is a significant pointer
that Parker will poll his party vote.
The same may be said of Roosevelt.
But after all it is the independent voter
that decides political contests in the
nation. They hold the balance of
power in the American electorate.
They have decided all of the presiden-
tial contests since 1872. General
Grant is the last president who was
elected on a strict party vote and since
that time the independent voters in
this country have increased fourfold.
Can Roosevelt carry New York?
This is the burning question of the
hour. New York has not cast her
vote sincce 1868. She is the most
doubtful state of any in the union. In
1883 Washington was unanimously
elected president and since then there
have been 2S presidential elections.
Fourteen times has it been carried by
the Democrats and the same number
of times by the Federalists, Wings,
and Republicans. The nomination of
Henry G. Davis for vice president has
put the cap sheaf on the south's 169
electoral votes and we venture the
prediction now that unless the Repub-
licans can corral the electoral vote of
New York, Roosevelt ami Fairbanks
will be defeated

PARKER AND DAVIS.

The smoke has just cleared away
from the most momentous and memoir
able political battle of modern times
and we can now dispassionately re-
view the work of the st. Louis conven-
tion and justly estimate the worth and
character of its candidates. No Dem
ocratic conclave ever witnessed such a
heroically contested struggle for SUI
premacy. Every element of ambition,
jealousy and hatred was an intensity
ing factor in the contest. Endeavors to
vitalize booms for unconsidcred and
inconsiderable candidates came to
naught. Even the cunningly devised
strategy of the anti-Parker men to
lift themselves to control behind the
career and character Of Grover Cleve-
land did not sweep the convention
from its moorings. The destinies of a
great party were shaped in four days
of the most forensic battling on record.
Never before were there so many vital
issues to be settled, with large factions
of the party aligned on opposite sides.
Bryan was the great popular figure
and Hill the silent Napoleon of the con-
yention. Threatened with disruption
nv the conflict of oniniop op ,ooocurao
the Democratic party emerges from its
most history-making convention intact
and strong for the great battle of bal
lots next November by the selection of
Judge Alton B. Parker of New York for
president, and eX-United States Sen
ator Henry G. Davis, of West Virginia,
for vice president.
