PARKER'S CHANCES GOOD.
American People Want a Sane, safe
and Conservative Man in
White House.

The national democracy has turned its
face toward the light
II has named for president of the
United States a candidate who repre-
sents the sane sentiment Of the mass OF
the party and the patriotic purpose Of
the American people.
What II means. and what the country
will recognize in this nomination. is
reversal Of the attitude of the two great
parties The democracy. from radical.
becomes conservative. The republican
party Is left as the exponent Of RADICAL
ism.
Alton b. Parker Is the safe man. Theo-
dorc Roosevelt is the dangerous man.
The contrast is made between the judi
cial temperament, the statesmanlike
force OF character Of Judge Parker. and
the fiery impulsiveness Of the rough
rider.
Can Il be doubted which candidate
will appeal more strongly 70 the solid
sense Of the American people?
Parker is the guarantee Of safety.
Roosevelt Is danger.
There are excellent reasons for ex-
pecting the election Of Judge Parker he
comes from the state OF New York-the
state whose vote still decides presiden-
tial elections-and he will carry his
state. He has done it before when
candidate for high judicial Office. against
great odds. and by the force Of his per-
sonality, his character and his record he
will do It again as candidate for presi-
dent
New York is essentially the pivotal
state. Judge Parker Will also carry Con-
nect.cut New Jersey and other states
which for eight years past have been
classed as doubtful.
The probability is that with Parker
the democracy will win the election.
The candidate has shown characteristic
delicacy in refusing 10 be drawn into a
discussion of the issues Of the cam
paign OF to take any part which could he
construed into an effort to obtain the
nomination. The public recognizes his
good sense.
Thus the campaign opens. The lines
are clearly drawn. II is the fantastic
politician against the seasoned jurist
and statesman.
The Washington Post truly says that
not since the civil war has the democ-
racy entered upon the campaign with
such omens of success. The Tilden cam
paign-out OF whose result the people
were cheated-the two Cleveland cam
paigns which were successful. did not
present such prospect at the outset.
The fact that the people want safe.
sane man in the white house to direct
the fortunes OF the republic as its chief
executive instead of an erratic. impul-
sive rough rider.
Befog the issue as you may. this is the
\ point on which the election will turn.

MUCH TROUBLE IN SIGHT.
Why the Manipulators of the Repub-

Every day 1t is dawning upon the re
publican leaders that they are due to en-
counter a great democratic tidal wave
this fall. The area Of debatable ground
is constantly expanding. At first they
were inclined to put West Virginia. Della

ming TO admit that republican chances
are slender in those states.
Now California. Colorado. Idaho.
Montana and Utah are not only regarded
no longer as certain republican terri
tory, but strong indication points TO
democratic success in those states. New
York is almost hopeless from a repub-
lcan standpoint. and even republican
papers and leaders in Indiana admit
that the democrats have as good chance
to carry the state as the republicans.
Fairbanks has not strengthened the
ticket a particle in the Hoosier state.
The tone OF the Independent press Is
distinctly favorable to Parker and this
is a reasonable indication that the IN
dependent vote is leaning in the same
direction.
II Is three months until the election,
and admittedly many things might hap
pen within nat time that would have a
vital bearing Oh the result. But. says
the Houston Post, there can be no exap-
