THE SOUTH'S FART.
It's Course at St. Louis Very Warmly Praised.
New York World.


 Thomas F. Ryan is entirely justified in claiming for the Southern Deno- crats and their leaders a large share of the credit for Judge Parker's nomi- nation and for the overwh elming vote by which his brave telegram was ap- proved in the Convention. The World on Sunday said that without the sub- stantially solid support of the Southern States, which must furnish two-thirds of the electoral votes necessary to d victory. Judge Parker could not have been nominated" And it instanced this action as proving that the prover- bial sagacity of the old school of South ern politicians is reviving.
 But it was not alone in the nomina- tion that the Southern delegates took the lead. When Judge Perker's "thun- derbolt message" came before the Con- vention for action no member of the New York delegation spoke for its ac- ceptance. Many of them had started for home The defense of Judge Par ker's position was splendidly conduct ed by Representative Williams. Sena- tors Daniel. Carmack and Tillman. Governor. Nardaman and others from that section.
 Tho South Is not only sane and safe" but sagacious.

 Tt was ordained, however, that there ,nr9o should be no Garrison finish to the crowds of people, and rapid prog ress was impossible. Furthermore, 1t was not right that the great Parker leader of the eonvention should be seen on the dead run. It might start ru- mors of all kinds. And rumors were dangerous just then. So the swift scut- tie became swaying cog trot. and the dog trot became a rapid walk. and the rapid walk the slow stride with which MT. Hill ordinarily moves abroad amongst men.

Sheehan looked at his ancient New York enemy in amazement at his breathless condt- tion and showed him a dispatch from Esopus telling that everything was be- ing done to reach Judge Parker The message said that the original gold plank telegram had been brought to the village telegraph office by the judges coachman on horseback. and that it would be necessary to send to the Parker residence to have 1t verified. This process, said the Esopus operator. would take some time.
 "'Well, we'll wait right here till the confirmation comes said Sheehan. firmly.
 Again the whole party settled to tho scrutiny of the crumpled bit of type written paper, when they were inter- rupted by the joyful news that the com vention had adjourned until 5:30 that afternoon. The people began pouring out of the narrow death trap exits from the inner shell of the building, and Dd- vid B. Hill eagerly inquired of the first man out whether the adjournment had actually taken place.
 "''Sure 1t has. pardner,' responded the person addressed, in considerable amazement. but keep your shirt on at 5:2o, and your tickets still good
 He didn't know that his interlocutor thought that Judge Parker's nomina- tion hinged on that adjournment. But known's reproof. He actually smiled in his relief and went slowly back over the route which he had just traverscd so rapidly. As usual, the crafty New going He just went. without word of expla nation to McCarren.

 We do not recall so much stress hay ing been put upon the physical quail fications of satisfactory Executive be- fore, but whether or not they be as i'm believes. the Judge fills the bill. In the language of former Senator Ed ward Murphy. a shrewd estimator of true form. he is a good man While MT Roosevelt has been wrestling with Japs the Judge has been pitching hay. He could not receive his call to duty after the traditional manner of MT. Cincinnatus and Uncle Israel Putnam because. as everybody knows, this is not the ploughing season.

"A Man Once More." ew York Eyenin0 Post.

The Esopus telegram heralded man once more. The calm, unassuming, un- known man sounded a single note, and two hemispheres have listened spell bound The Democratic Party has a leader once more. The man whom the party proposed to elevate on its shield for want of a better. the man who would look respectable and talk empty platitudes, has displayed masterful will that has instantly made his party as clay in his hands. Here was no pol itician to cajole his party or to cringe to it; here was the wisdom as well as the power of the ruler of men. A country gentleman writes one hundred words and the world is electrified and the Democratic Party revolutionized. The party sought a candidate, and ob- tained-a leader.

John Sharp WilIIams's Boom for Pres
 ident.

1dent.
 It was in February last that John Sharp Williams's leadership of the minority in the House of Representa- tives had so spread his fame that he was widely talked about as of Presi- dential calibre. An enterprising but unsorhisticated young newspaper man sought the Missssipian for informa- tion as to any nov em~nt in hiS favor. MT. Williams, with -dissemhled gravity. assured the reporter that everything was suspicious for his boom Recent reports from Mississip- pi, especially. were highly encourage ing.
 "Toomsuba, Ofancma, Noxapater Nanachehaw, Toccopola Tabbville. and Grubbs Springs, I am told" he said "are already for me. while I have ev- cry reason to believe that l shall have the undivided support of such plac, $ as Nittayuma, Wahalak, Bolatus. Hushpuckena, Pelahatchie, Mittayun.. quapin, Pawtickfaw. OctoC, Leggo. Yellow Rabbit. Chunkey Station, Ham, bone, Devolente, and Whynot."
 When the reporter had sufficiently recovered to scrutlnize the count, ance of the Mississippi statesman. he asked:
 How do you spell those9"
 MT. Williams patiently and with dig nified dcliberation spelled the words The reporter took it all down, and went away with a quizzical look, al most as quizzical as that with which the minority leader disappeared with in the swinging doors of the House Robert H. Watkins, in Harpers Weekly

A President Some Day.

Tn the late Convention the South fur nished the temporary chairman. the permanent chairman, the candidate for Vice President the most eloquent speakers. and the whole scene calls one back to the days ''befo' de wah," when the Southern delegation was mighty nigh the whole cheese Keep the thing a-whoopin' and maybe we'll get Pres ident some day and then we will be back in the Union holding down our job at the old scale.

True Party Leadership.

Providence Journal, (1nd.) -.
 Even his party rivals will recognise that 1t must commend Judge Parker to those who are capable of appreciat- ing the shades of moral sensitiveness that were not recognized by the disci- ples of expediency in the Convention. Parker's being the servant" of the party, but there Is no need for the standard-bearer of a great cause to emphasize his servility. He must be a leader as we'll as a servant. Judge Parkers dynamitavladen telegram indi- cates that he intends to be the leader and inspirer as well as the servant of his party.

A Great Service Performed.

Philadelphia Ledger, (Ind.)
 Judge Parker has thus early shown that a man who knows how to main- tain silence, when silence is fitting, can speak with force and effect when speech Is called for. He has put him. self at once in the position of leader. and to the conservative confidence that has been felt in him heretofore will now be added a measure of enthusias- tic recognition that will make him a very formidable candidate. ~
 He has, moreover, performed dis tinct service to the sound money senti- ment. regardless of party affiliations which must be far-reaching and bene- f1cial in its effect

Men know a brave man when they see him. They cannot long be mis- taken. The difference between the kind of courage which Roosevelt prais- es and Parker practices is a far apart as the poles. And though momentar- fly men had been misled they come now to see their mistake and to find fin Judge Parker's conduct a higher standard of courage and civic right eousness than anything the President has ever yet said or done.
