HILLS MAN PARKER
Something About His Spokesman and
Sponsors.
THEY CONSTITUTE A HEAVY LOAD

Representative of the "Traitor" EIe.
ment Ct the Democratic Party, Ac.
cordng to the Chicago American
Democrats Will Nos View With
CompIscency the Alliance Between
Their Candidate and Wall Street
Interests.
When it is remembered that the
men most intimately associated with
David B. Hill in his control of the
st. Louis convention in behalf of
Judge Parker were August Belmont
P. H. McCarren and Bourke Cochran,
and that no one knows this better
than does one William Randolph
Hearst, an extract from the Chicago
American indicates the character of
tial candidate may expect from the
Bryan wing of the party. The follow
ing is from the American:
Three men of New York city were
in consultation with Judge Parker at
the latter's country residence last
Thursday. Each of the three had a
long and separate conversation with
the Democratic nominee. Judge Par
ker and the three men were photo
graphed together
The three men were August Bel
mont, L atrick H. McCarren and w.
Bourke Cochran.
1t is quite certain that Judge Parker
knows these three men but slightly;
it is absolutely certain that he is en-
tirely uniformed as to what the Dem
ocrats of the nation think about these
three men.
Judge Parker, we feel safe in say
ing, would not have as advisers and
consultors Belmont, McCarren and
Cochran except for the fact that his
devotion to legal work has diverted
the day, and that he has been deceived
as to the character of the men who
have constituted themselves an ad-
visory board about him.
We can render Judge Parker no
greater service than to warn him now,
early in the campaign, against being
associated with them in the public
mind, against allowing the impression
to get out among Democrats that such
men are to have any influence in his
campaign or in his administration af-
ter election.
An Unsavory Triumvirate.
The merest outline of the character
of the three, and of the estimation in
which they are held by the public,
and especially Democrats, will GER
tainly cause Judge Parker to eliminate
them promptly from the list of his
confidential advisers.
Who are the three men?
August Belmont-This gentleman is
the typical Wall street and racing
man. AS the agent of the Rothschilds
it was his business to get for them
from Grover Cleveland United States
bonds as far below their actual value
as possible.
His house and his employers, the
Rothschilds, profited very largely
through the infamous bond deal, with
the assistance of Grover Cleveland.
1t is not necessary to tell anybody
what the public thinks of this bond
deal or what effect it has had upon
the Democratic party.
Democrats will not view with com
placency any close relationship be-
tween their candidate and a Wall
street gentleman who, however esti-
mable personally, sees in the United
States president possible seller of
bonds below value.
Something About Belmont.

the gambling business of racing, as
well as in the gambling business of
Wall street He is president of the
Jockey club in New York and an own

Tens of thousands of mothers AMI
wives are heart-broken every year by
the losses of their sons or husbands at
the tracks over which Mr. Belmont
presides. Mr.. Belmont is at the head
Of the organization which takes q hun
bred dollars day from book-makers,
