 RACY OF THE NATION.

Dt Even to Any Public omce-De- cIares That the People VIII Soon Re- aIize That the Tarin Fed Trusts Are Absorbing the Wealth of the Nation -Great Mission for Democratic Party in the Near Future.
 Esopus, N. r., Nov. 9.--Judge Parker might gave to the press an open let r, addressed ITO the Democracy of e Nation, " in which he thanked those
 charge of his campaign work and iclared that the people will soon re- ize that "the tariff fed trusts are ab- rbing the wealth of the nation. He i'd that when that time comes the ople will turn to the democratic par
 for relief.
 In this letter Judge Parker says that
 shall never seek a nomination for public office. He discusses the diffi- tlties encountered by the democrats
 making their campaign in this year pd makes suggestions regarding har- ony in the party. In conclusion the dge says that in the presence of de- lat he does not hesitate to say that
 his opinion the great moral ques- pn which confronts the democrats
 Shall the trusts and corporations
 prevented from contributing money
 control, or aid in controlling elec- pns? ?" After thanking party managers pd workers. he says:
 Deeply as I regretted leaving the ench at the time of it, in the presence
 overwhelming defeat, I do not la lent it. thought it was my duty. In le light of my present information I n now even more confident that I d right. shall never seek nomina- pn for public office, but shall to the est of my ability serve the party that as honored me, and through the party rve my country.
 "The party has in the near future a reat mission. Before long the people. i'll realize that the tariff fed trusts Ind illegal combinations are absorbing he wealth of the nation. Then they ill wish to throw off these leeches, 1t the republican party will not aid hem to do it, for its leaders appreciate po well the uses to which the moneys R the trusts can be put in political hnpaigns.
 When that time comes, and come it Fill, the people will turn to the dem eratic party for relief, and the party hould be ready with an organization oA1{1 1a ostf i,n.r ection district, who are willing to ork for the love of the cause an, or anization supported by as many town, at ty, county and state officers as we .lre able to elect in the meantime. We Entered this canvass with every north n, western and eastern state, save |l1e, in republican control.
 ~ This gave to that party a large rnly of officeholders reaching into ev M hamlet, many of whom gladly fol- |bwed the examples set for them by the lembers of the presidents cabinet in evoting their time and services to the Marty.
 ITO accomplish much in this direc- < on, however, we must forget the diff1- tllties of the past. If any one suspects |is naighbor of treachery, let him not Hint of his suspicious. If he knows he las deserted us, let him not tell it. Eur forces have been weakened by di- isions. We have quarreled at times Ever non-essentials. If we would help kle people, If we would furnish an or anization through which they may be e1ived of a party that has grown so Corrupt that 1t will gladly enter into Partnership with trusts to secure honeys for election purposes, we must brget the differences of the past and legin this day to build up wherever it .hay be needed broad and effective lrganization. And we must by con- tant teaching, through the press and rom the platform, apprise the people .f the way the vicious tariff circle Forks
 We must bring home to them, at ither than election times the fact that honey contributed to the republican Barty by the trusts is not only dis trusts may without hindrances, take a huch larger sum from the people.
 Tn the presence of a defeat that would take away all personal ambi- lion, were it true that it otherwise possessed me, I do not hesitate to say That in my opinion the greatest moral huestion which now confronts us is: Shall the trusts and corporations be prevented from contributing. mney to kontrol, or aid in controlling elections? 2 x aSuch service as T can render in that br any other direction will be gladly Rendered.
 ssAnd I beg the cooperation as fel- ow worker of every democrat in the eountry.'
