Declaration of Former Senator
That He VIII Quit Politics
Clears the Air.
SATISFIES MANY FACTIONS.
Proves to Democrats That Their
Candidate Is Not Bound to
Any Set or Clique Of
Politicians.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington. Aug. 9.-Few announce
ments for the present campaign seem cal
culated to do the Parker candidacy more
good. TO meet 50 distinctly "a long
felt want" as that made al Albany yes
terday by David e. Hill. II was agreed
in political circles here from the start
that the heaviest handicap TO Parker was
Hils name.
The prominence which il assumed in the
pending contest was distasteful TO many
branches OF the party. German never
liked Hill when they were in the Senate
together. and Hil's prominence in this
campaign is believed TO have made Par
ker's candidacy only half acceptable 10
German. in spite Of the nomination of
the latter's cousin, Henry G. Davis. for
the second place.
Tsmmany's feeling towards Hill is well
known. The mugwumps have never had
any use for Mr.. Hill. He Is. therefore weak
among the Western Democrats, because
OF his opposition TO the income tax. which
they regard as fair and just. His course
In the senate in this particular would
have been forgotten, had he not insisted
that the St Louis platform this year
should contain no declaration in favor of
that project For these, and other rea-
sons. Mr.. Hills weakness is confined to
no section Of the country. He has antag-
onized nearly every wing OF the party.
except the professional machine poll
ticians who look with favor on a fellow
machinist. His announced purpose to re-
tire after New Years will be helpful ev
erywhere.
With Mr.. Parkers declared purpose not
to be a candidate in 1906. il becomes very
important to the country to be assured
that the organization now built up for
Parker will not he turned over to Hill
himself at the end of another few years.
For these reasons chiefly, political OBJ
servers here regard the Albany announce
ment as the most tactful thing Mr.. Hill
has done in this campaign, and the one
likely to prove Of greatest advantage TO
the Democratic candidate.
Evidence also abounds for those who
watch affairs closely that Mr.. Parker is
his own manager, but the public has found
it hard to drop the Idea. especially as it
is emphasized by the opposition press.
that the man whom IL has heard the most
about in national politics is still not the
master spirit. The announcement will
help to give proper understanding Of the
situation.
