On his fathers side the Judge

was born in 1851 at Worcester,
Mass. He was a hard working
farmer When the war for indie
pendence broke out he left his pillow
and served as private under

pubic was established. Little is
known Of him except that be was a
man OF pluck and lndepenc ence and

was an intelligent man, highly
educated and public spirited. In

Democratic Ticket.
1TLOOKS LIKE PARKER,

All the indications now point t.
the nomination of Judge Alton b
Parker, of New York, by the St
Louis convention.
The New York convention, by a
two-thirds vote. instructed its del
egation to vote for him as a unit.
New Jersey, although it did not in
struct, sends a delegation that will
be for Parker. Pennsylvania has
done the same thing, Connecticut
will in all probability do likewise.
In fact the whole East seems to be
concentrating upon Parker as the
most available man to unite all
factions Ct the party and defeat
Roosevelt. Even those opposed to
Judge Parker admit that he is
good Democrat and that he has
m lnaged one way or another to re-
main in office for twenty years 10 a
Republican state. About the worst
things that have been urged
against Judge Parker are that Hill
first appointed him to Office and
that Cleveland is for him III his
present race. But in spite of these
handicaps, he has carried his state
by such majority over Hearst, an
ayowed candidate, that the latter
name was not even presented tothe
) ate convention 1t is difficult to
see how Hearst can remain in the
contest with his own state instruct
ed against him, and it is equally
ficult to see how the st. Louis
convention can avoid nominating
the candidate demanded by the
doubtful states, whose votes are
necessary to success. The country
at large is interested in only one
thing-the election of a real Demo.
crat who will not act and vote with

ported Democratic nominees, who
possesses ability, experience in

ability and popularity. Judge
Parker seems to meet ali these re-
euirements better than auy other
man mentioned. aud it Is among the
possibilities that he may be nomin-
ated at St. Louis with the same
ulamiuity that Roosevelt viii be at
Chicago. Judge Parker is said 20

The one thing 10 The way now is
the opposition OF Mr.. Bry whose
available list of candidates includes
Mcclellan and Towne, of New York;

Mcclellan is a Tammany leader,
Towne was a Republican until
eight years ago. Stevenson is an
acceptable candidate. Having run
on tickets headed by both Clevel and
and Bryan, he stands on a middle
ground between the factions. The
party can do no better than 10
