EsOpus. y. Y, Sept. S.-Three hundred Demo-
cratic editors who came here at the behest or
the Democratic National Committee on the way
TO Dreamland. were to-day addressed by the
Democratic Presidential nominee the burden OF
whose address. which was to be the keynote OF
the campaign. consisted in advising them to stop
knocking the Bryan wing of the party. Speak
ing as usual with the assistance Of a typewrit-
ten copy. Judge Parker pleaded with the edi-
tOr!aI writer's before him TO desist from their
attacks upon one another and to try TO do a
little damage to the enemy. With sadness
that more than mere attempt at the
dramatic. Judge Parker referred to the Yer
mont election admOnition. and then pro-
ceeded to follow the lines laid down for him
by John W. Kern, of Indiana. and various other
Democrats of national Importance. all of whom
have advised against provoking the Bryan
people. New-York editors. among them Her
Ridder. conjectured that he was also al
Iuding 10 the New-YOrl City situation in his
appeal for harmony.

the visitors on this score was unmistakable.
