PARKER NEVER DEFEATED
IN NEW YORK ELECTION


It is not necessary to repeat the story
Of the Democratic State convention at
Saratoga in September last which nom
mated Bird 5. Coler for governor. The
DELEGATES 10 a man wanted Chief Judge
Parker 10 he tlle candidate for governor,
believing that Parker would beat Odel
IN, 10000 and capture the Legislature,
sending back David 3. hin to the United
states Senate TO succeed Thomas c
Platt.
Mr.. Coler was Mr.. Hills candidate for
governor. He was beaten by $500 plu-
rality.
In view of the prominence Of Chief
Judge Parker all over the country at
this time il may not be out of place 10
give a digest Of the results OF the cam
paigns in the State for the last ten
years.

RAN AWAY TO SEE CIRCUS;
CAME HOME A MARCO POLO

Alton never cared for shooting; in
fact. of all the staple boyish delights
only two appealed strongly to him. He
would skate on Browns pond until he
was well nigh tuckered Ut'-skate
long past the meal hour. forgetting
chores and all the humble farm duties
and if there was "a circus within striking
distance he'd rather take a lickin' any
day than miss it,
His first long trip from home alone
was made that he might feel the joys
of eating peanuts ana riding the ele-
phant at Ithaca. some twenty miles
away. He was still below his teens,
when. accompanied by boy friend he
arose before, daylight. hitched up team
and drove the entire distance. there be-
ing no RAILROADS ia that part of the
world then.
The boyd carried their savings of
weeks with them-a total of some two
dOllars-and when they turned the
horses head homeward late at night
they were strapped But IL was worth
while. they were the Marco POlOs OF the
neighborhoOd for weeks, and the other
boys at the district school hung on their
every word.

REFORMED COURT OF APPEALS
BY WORKING LONGER HOURS

Judge Parker rejoices in his judicial
CaIeer. If it was 10 be all of public
service that he might be called upon
to render he would not complain. The
work is not drudsery to him With "a
taste for and a thoroughly established
habit Of labor. and with a strong and
sustaining sense Of duty to be per
formed toward the people as they are
represented in the work Of the court of
/ cDpeals. his ask is q delight rather
than a burden.
This is made known IN a way better
appreciated b. the lawyers of the State
;nan by the laity. When Parker be-
came chief judge the calendars OF the
court of appeals were cIosged. This
blockade was traditional, and there
seemed to be no hope that business
would ever be less than three years be
and time.
This appeared. i'm view Of the magni-
tude of some Of the interests Involved.

OBTAINED POST AS TEACHER,
THEN HAD TO RETAIN IT

To get the money necessary TO attend
law school the young man decided 70
take up teaching upon the completion Of
his academy course. In connection with
this stage Of his career he himself re-
lates an incident which is eloquently
suggestive of the sturdy honesty of his
ances trE.
On the Friday afternoon on which he
received his certificate from the COTt-
land Academy he hired horse at the
village livery stable and started out UNI
known 10 his father, IN search of en-
pIOyment After q thirteeu-mile drive
and several appointments he was
engaged by the trustees OF Virgil town
ship school His father, too, had lost no
time in looking out for his sons inter
ests and a. the same time that the
OF employment The father had secured
him an engagement which from a pecU-
mary standpoint was more attractive
than that which the young man had
concluded for himself
When the young man returned home
late az night and related 20 his father
with some pride the result Of his mis-
sion. his father instead of sharing in
mis- elatiOu, expressed mis- regret. OK
planning that he had secured for him the
promise Of a much better place than
that at Virgil. Young Parker. much
crestfalieu, proposed that ne return 70
