NEW YORK JURIST GREAT MAN.
Says Judge Parker Was Unwill-
ing to Become the Beneficiary
of an Evasion, Concealment
or Subtcrfuge - Believes
Bryan Will Stand by
Flag.


| RrPT-BIIC SPECIAL.
Jefferson City. No. July 12.-Senator w,
j. Stone tonight gave out tine following
statement concerning the nomination of
Alton p. Parker and the famous Parker
| telegram:
! My first impression was that the whole
| thing WAS prearranCed. 1t had a sinister
| appearance and / felt that the conven-
! ton had been buncoed. / was sick abed
when this telegram came and was able
to be in the Convention. II l could have
been at the convention at that time l
would have given voice to the strong
feeling l had on the subject. for l felt
angry and resentfui
Since the convention adjourned, how
eVe:. have been advised of things that
satisfy me that Judge Parker acted in
good faith and i'll Il manly way. That his
views Were withheld or suppressed con-
trary to his instruction is, | think, beyond
doubt, and when he found out that his
instructions were being disregardcd and
that he was about to be placed in d false
position, he sent peremptory telegram 10
Governor Sheehan demanding that his
views be made known to the convention.
That was a splendid and manly act.
Whether one may agree with Judge
Parker in all things or not. all must CON
cede that he is made of the stuff that
commands universal respect and conf
dence. He was unwilling TO become the
beneficiary Of an evasion. n concealment
or n subterfuSe. Parker came out of the
convention bigger man than when he
went into it. not alone because he was
nominated. but still more because ne re-
vealed to the country that he possesses
those qualities that fit him for a capable
leadership.
Among those who took part in the pro-
ceedings OF the convention Mr.. Bryan was
easily and by far the most commanding
figure. He was fiercely assai,ed by men
who but Yesterday would have crowned
him king. but he lowered amongst them
as n giant among pygmies. Compared to
most OF them he shone rs star in COM
parison with the phOsphorescent Gleam OF
lightning bugs
He is still the greatest Democrat In
America and the idol of the people. One
blast on his bugle horn is worth million
men. and the service he will render the
ticket will be worth more than that of all
his detractors combined.
''I talked with Mr. Bryan yesterday He
will stand by the fiaE.
Il know Judge Parker He is a high
type Of man. If elected. he will make
great President. l shall have many good
words to say for him, but. thank God. l
shaH Hnot be found among those who think
that to praise Parker they must abuse
Bryan. I'd rather be a dog and bay at
the moon than such a man."
