DEMOCRATS IN SEARCH OF PRES.
IDENTIAL TIMBER.

Much has been said in the papers
during the past few months as to
whom the Democrats would nomi-
nate as their presidential candidate at
st. Louis In July. Senator German
of Maryland, Editor w. R. Hearst
Of New York, Grover Cleveland of
Buzzards Bay and Judge Parker of
New York are the men most men
toned for the race. There are
many reasons why neither of them
If nominated could be elected.
Senator German, who was at one
time most prominently mentioned,
killed himself when he tried 10 lead
the fight against the Panama canal
treaty and he put himself deeper in
the miro when he fought his State
organization when they elected their
junior Senator last fall, over Cor
mons protest. Editor Hearst who
is a multi millionaire is simply try
ing to buy the nomination with no
other platform than his check book
and that he gave out a few free
lunches to the poor of New York
lagt winter. Grover Cleveland
wants the nomination awful bad,
but he has not had time to state his
platform as he has been too busy of
late trying to make the people be-
ieve that he did not invite the
negro Fred Douglass and his white
wife to his wedding reception and
that he did not sign bill establish
ing mixed schools in New York
State. But he need not write any
platform for his two administra-
tions are too fresh in the memory

labor strikes, and the deficit in the
United States Treasury caused by
his administration. The strong
trend of Democratic expression last
month was in favor of Alton B.
Parker, who is now Chief Judge of
the Court of Appeals of New York.
Judge Parker's service on the bench
for about twenty years has afforded
no opportunity for the public 10
knew much about his politial
opinions or his Executive qualifi-
cations. All that can be said in his
favor Is that he is q Democrat and
that he has q farm somewhere in
New York State. But to say that
he is q democrat is too indefinite as
there are so many kind Of demo
Gratis and too there are some people
that own farms that would not
make good presidents.
Some weeks ago the Democratic
State Convention Of New York met
and most of the delegates were in
structed for Parker. This was done
by David B. Hill and Agust Bel
mont and it was then thought that
all the other states would fall over
themselves to try to be the next to
instruct their delegates for Parker,
but such was not the case. The
trouble with Parker he has not in
formed the people as to his political
views, except a few planks laid
down for him by David B. Hill
touching lightly on the trusts and a
few uuimportant measures. Four
years ago the Democracy was radi
calIy opposed to trusts. Judge
Parker's (Hills) plank this year
makes discrimination, and expresses
objection only to those trusts ssthat

ly assist In cooperative work and estab-
lish the basis for such work In all sta
