Candidate for President

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Alton B. Par

Justice Morgan ]. OBrien of the
appellate division of the Supreme
Court was the presiding officer. The
speakers included former Governor
Frank S. Black, former Secretary of

blower and Judge Parker.
Judge Parker was the center of a
group of we'll wishers during the
greater part of the evening. Before the
speaking began Francis B. Harrison,
the defeated candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, and NJ. Linn Bruce, the sue
cessful candidate, approached arm and
arm to greet him. They had not met
before tonight. Judge Parker had
never met Bruce and they chatted
pleasantly together.
When the Judge rose to speak the
diners arose, waved handkerchiefs and
cheered. Judge Parker expressed his
gratitude to his hosts for the cordial
welcome extended to him in becoming
q member of the bar in this city.
The notable absence Of jealousy and
the readiness of its members to recog-
nize and applaud the worthy perform
ances of each other were conditions
he said, that have always made the
practice of the profession of the law
i'm the city of New York exceedingly
attractive and many have come here
from other places, not only in anticipa-
ticn of the substantial rewards they
might meet with and in the hope of
a wider sphere of active usefulness,
but also to be associated with the ira
ditions of the bar here and with the
ambition to be enrolled in the ranks
of its members.
Elihu Root said in part:
Upon the observation and expert
ence of a practice which must seem
long to any but my leader, Mr.. Par
sons. and out of full heart and friend
ship and warm regard for the guest
we honor, it is a pleasure to add my
voice to the expressions of esteem we
give him here. I can say that no In
terests when committed to Judge
Parker's hands have not had just and
upright consideration. We welcome
him to our bar; we are proud of him
and proud of our bar"

but interest in the man himself and
the things he said continues unabated.
Some delightful glimpses of him are
contained in a volume of ''Retrospects"
by Professor William Knight, which
has just been published. What, for in
stance, could be more characteristic OF
the most intolerant of sages than this:
: He was once speaking about Darwin
in the broad Scottish dialect into which
he often relapsed when conversing with
a Scotsman He said: I think that
they scfenteefic men must expect God
Almighty to come to them some nne
nornin' and gle them patent to
make a warld, they seem so curious
to know how this one was made.
Il humbly ventured to say that L
thought him unjust to Darwin and was
trying TO explain what 1 considered
the chief point in Darwin's magnif-
cent theory. He at once interpOsed:
Master Darwin is no better than John
Null CMilD or Master Herbert Spen-
Ger: they're a. magneefcent asses!
When told that family worship was
less common in his native country than
it used to be, Carlyle remarked:
80 much the worse for Scotland.
He lapsed into a long praise of Call
Vinism and when Professor Knight
ventured to suggest that there might
be another side to the question he said
sterEly:
'1There is no other. It's Calvinism
that makes. heroes. 1t made Oliver,
and there new. Ma greater hero
than oliver"
SNEERS AT GLADSTONE.
1t is well known that he entertained
a moor opinion of both Disraen and
Gladstone. as we'll as of most cOntem-
porary politicians, though 1T has been
observed that he never spoke disre-
spectfully of the former after he had
offered him a title. Professor knight
quotes him as saying:
81 don't know that Dizzy has got a
conscience GLADLY has a conscience.
but he just turns it any way he has
a stomach to, and Immediately thinks
1t call from God"
What an infinite pity 1t is that Car
lyle never had a Boswell! AS contain
ing an answer to Carlyle'S sneer
against him these observations made
by Gladstone to the author are worth
quoting:
people talk of change in opinion
as if it were disgrace. To melt is a
sign of life If you are alive you must
change 1t is only the dead who re-
main the same. and of all charges
brought against man or party, that of

ion. leading to change of front. is the
