NEW YORK FOR PARKER.

The endorsement OF Judge Parker
and instructions for him by the New
York convention means his nominal
ton. He will get nine-tenths Of the
votes from the south and enough
from other northern states TO give
him the nomination by a two-thirds
vote on the second ballot, il not on
the first. Mr.. Hearst may as well
call in his agents and close his cam
paign bank accounts The fight Is
over. Judge Parker has already o
the victory. The news Of the action
of the New York convention was by
no means pleasing to the republicans.
1t has greatly strengthened the cause
OF democracy. and they know it
Now that it has been virtually de-
cided that Judge Parker is the nomi-
nee, let's hear no more OF this or that
faction Of the democratic party. Let's
all be DEMOCRATS without any
side issues to cause division i'm the
party. With this determination,
Judge Parker can De elected. Let
bygones be bygones. Look only TO
the future and strive with one pur-
pose-victory for the party.

STATEMENT FROM MIR. CLARK.

The Raleigh Post Of Sunday publish
ed the following letter from Mr.. w. w.
Clark, attorney for Mr.. McBee, before
the committee investigating he affairs
OF the Atlantic and North Carolina
railroad:
New Bern, N. c. April is.
Editor OF The Post:
AS the attorney for McBee and
Finch, before the committee inyesti-
eating the Atlantic n North Carolina
Railroad Company, / desire TO state Ill
justice to the committee, that / approve
the action of the committee in with
holding from the public the testimony
which is being ELECTED before it. On
account OF my relation TO the investl-
CATION, and my presence at all OF its
sittings, / believe / am better able to
form an unbiased opinion of the com
mittee's action than the public general
ly.
w. w. CLARK.
Notwithstanding the act hat Mr..
Clark expresses approval of the &C
ton of the committee in holding secret
sessions we still think that body is
committing a grave mistake In doing
30. Mr.. Clark represents Mr.. McBee
and not the owners of the o in this
investigation OF the management OF
their property . His consent to this
course does not commit them to ap-
prevail of it
The people we take it have the right
to know what rogre their repre-
sentatives are making from day to
day. Again. no matter how full, fair
and just the inquiry may be the fact
that it was made in secret will create
suspicion in the minds Of many people
and will also make it possible that
some important information in h pos
session OF outsiders may escape being
brought to the attention of the COM
mittee.
That the committee will max a full
investigation as far as their oppor-
tunitieS go we do not doubt. But 1t
Is to the manner OF making it We OBJ
iect.
How is the committee going to knOw
when it closes it's report that it con-
tains all important matters connected
with the road? How is it to know that
there Is not evidence in the possession
of some persons which it oul have,
but failed to get because these persons
were left in ignorance Of it's proceed
ings.

A BAD AUGURY.

Thirteen is an unlucky number. On
this number h republicans have come
to a halt in their endeavors to secure
the services Of a suitable man to take
charge Of Mr.. Roosevelt's presidential
campaign. 1t is said thirteen names
have been suggested to the president.
Some We're rejected as not desirable.
OF all who ave ben asked to accept
the Craftsmanship not one has con-
t1on and declination. but several have
been sounded in the interest Of Mr..
Roosevelt and have all declined. All
the best timber has ben picked over
and still no suitable man is yet found.
The time for the assembling of the con-
vention is near at hand, and the repub-
licanS are at sea as to the man who
shall conduct the campaign. On ac-
count of his the republican leaders
are gettip- uneasy.
The Philadelphia Record calls atten-
ton to the fact that in 1892 the same
state of affairs existed in the republic
can party. Then fifteen men refused
the craftsmanship. None Of the party
leaders cared to be in command at the
time of defeat. 1t is natural to sup
pose that an insight into the same
conditions which existed when Mr..
Cleveland defeated Mr. Harrison is the
Of the great difficulty in secur-
ing a manager of the present CAM
paign. Mr.. Roosevelt will be nominated
withou any outward opposition, but
he and his advisors know that he will
enter the campaign handicapped 10y
a great deal of hostility in his own
ranks. This opposition to him in his
own party is recognized by the leaders
as a dangerous element. especially
since it has become almost certain
that the democrats will nominate
Judge Parker, and makes the position
Of manager Of the campaign all the
more undesirable.

THE UNITED DEMOCRACY

The Observer OF Charlotte, says a cit
izen of that city who has few peers
among the acutest politicians Of the
state. makes the prediction that Judge
Parker will receive the backing of the
delegates from North Carolina to the
st. Louis convention. THE tide is
running entirely Parkerwards and there
is little likelihood Of a possibility of
any obstruction" He thinks that the
convention of this state will instruct
for him.
The opinion is growing rapidly hat
his state will swing into line for the
New York chief justice. We do not
believe the action Of the democrats of
this state any longer depends upon
the results of the New York democratic
convention which at this writing is in
session in Albany. if it ever did. 1t
may be that had the New York con-
vention been held a few weeks earlier
and a failed to instruct for Judge
Parker or had developed a strong OPP
position to him it would have had effect
in this state; but it is too late now.
The opposition forces have been COM
pletely routed. There was a time when
it looked as if the Hearst movement
was going to develop much strength in
this state. but it has been successfully
headed off. Those North Carolina
democrats who held party success above
partiSanShip determined to unite on
some man upon whom all democrats
could unite and to advocate his nomi-
nation. They opposed the nomination
of a member of either extreme wing
of the party. They settled upon Judge
Parker. and the cry ven forth that
for the party's sake all democrts should
unite upon him as the los available
man to be nominated. This appeal to
the people was taken UP by the press
all over the state, with some few ex
ceptions. INC the people have responded
to it with a heartiness which insures
success. 1t was this action which caus-
ed the failure of the Hearst movement
in our state.

A PERTINENT QUESTION.

The Morning Posi- OF Raleigh publish
es a letter from a citizen OF Beaufort
In which a very pertinent question is
asked regarding the states interest in
the Atlantic and North Carloina rail-
road. He wants to know how much
this property costs the state annually
and what profits 1t a received from
the investment in all the years it has
held stock in the road. He says h
people In his section would ike to
know just how the account stands and
what difference it would make to the
treasury if the road were leased.
The people in the Beaufort section are
not the only mes who would like infor-
nation on this matter. We suggest
that this would be a very interesting
branch Of the investigation for the
report upon- Let the people know
how much The state is paying out an
nually in interest and how much II has
ever received in dividends from the
road. The company. we believe, has
never paid but two dividends Of two
per cent. each
The argument has been made that
when the state too stock in this road
it did not do SO solely a a money max
ing investment. but chiefly for the pur-
pose OF aiding in a great state enter
prise and OF development. The
great railway scheme inaugurated
with h chartering OF this company
- -
through years ago. 1t no longer forms
a part OF what it was intended to be
a North Carolina trunk line from the
mountains to the sea. AS a developer
OF the section Of the state through
which it runs, it would be of as much
il not more service in the hands of
men who would operate it on business
principles and for the purpose of max
ing it a paying investment for them
selves and a developer of contiguous ter
r1tory, tina in the hands of men who are
chosen to manage its affairs, not be-
cause OF any practical railway knowl-
edge or business qualifications, but
whose appointments depend upon the
political complexion Of the party in
power. If the main object the state has
in sinking money annually in this road
is to aid in>the development Of a GER
tain section OF the state. it can better
accomplish this by taking it's manage
ment out Of politics and placing it in
the hands OF men who know how to
conduct railway business to the inter
est OF n owners and for the develop
ment of the country through which it
runs. BY a eas of the road, even at a
very low rate. the state cannot lose
more h it does now and will aid in
increasing its effectiveness in the
chief purpose for which. some main
tain. the state invested in the stock.
The state could not suffer financially
by a lease. The section through which
the road runs would be greatly bene-
fitted. Why then not lease on fair and
reasonable terms?
