Judge Parker an Ideal Candidate Wha
Will Grow Stronger from
Day to Day.

IL was hardly expected by those most
hopeful of democratic harmony and sue
cess that so satisfactory and inspiring
a result would be reached with SO little
delay and such cheering evidence Of
unanimity and renewal of the old party
spirit as has come with the nomination
of Judge Parker. There is evei 3 reason
why all shades of differing sentiment
should be acquiescent, satisfied, and a
little later on, when the full wisdom of
the choice made becomes apparent, en-
thusiastic. Judge Parker, while ac-
ceptable to the more conservative wing
of the party, has always kept strictly
within the lines, and will not be dis
posed to ostracize anyone for differences
of opinion in the past.
Tit more his character and views are
investigated and discussed the stronger
his candidacy will become, says the Gin
cinnati Inquirer.
Born of sterling New England ances-
try, he retains all the essential virtues, <
without its narrowness and angulari-
ties. Sprung of a stock that has always
kept close to the soil, he smacks of it
still, still loves it, and finds his happi-
est hours and most refreshing recrea-
ton in caring for and cultivating the
acres he lives on. Not that there lin
gers about him anything of the rustic.
He is a gentleman of culture and polish,
a noble figure IN horseback, as on the
bench, and a man who would give dis
tinction to any circle. When it is said
that the fitness of his selection to be
at the head of the highest court of the
great state of New York has never been
questioned, it means that he ranks high
among the great lawyers and jurists
for which that state is eminent. That
he will, if elected, rank high among the
presidents cannot be doubted. While
his political and personal views both
tend to the simplicity and conservatism
which characterized the early days, he
is awake to new issues and thor
oughly familiar with the political
thought and history of the times. His
bearing and reticence up to now indi-
cate great dignity and sense of pro-
priety. With many of Clereland's quail
tiles he possesses more of Mr.. McKinley's
conciliatory and popular temperament
than Mr.. Cleveland had, and will be GER
tain, if successful, to bring the party to
a condition of unity and efficiency, to
which it has long been a stranger.
Judge Parker's candidacy will appeal to
the conservative element of the Amer
lean people everywhere. Many republic
ans are tired of the spectacular and
nervous for fear of the unexpected.
Judge Parker's election would bring us
back to a period of quiet, when it would
be thought neither desirable nor neces-
sary that something should happen
every day. The country needs a rest.
In his personal character and home
life Judge Parker fills exactly the ideal
OF average Americans who would have
their representative men creditable and
conspicuous for their high qualities,
without being in any way inclined to
show or notoriety. He is an upright,
faithful citizen, a model husband and
father, a genial, kindly neighbor, and
in the truest sense a man of the peo-
pie.
The attitude of the convention shows
that there will be no dissensions in the
approaching campaign, and we conf
IDENTIFY predict that it's nominee will
grow stronger every day as the canvass
progresses, and will be handsomely
elected in November.
