chief judge Of New York without ut
tering single word to further his can
didacy. The Democratic nomination
for president Of the United States is
too high and honorable position for the
scrambles Of machine politicians.
Judge Parker, by his dignified attitude,
commends himself to his party. From
some sources he has been criticized be-
cause he has refused to take the stump
and express himself upon the ques-
tons before the people. The action of
Judge Parker in this respect is only
another high recommendation of his
character and fitness. His fellow
countrymen know that he is Demo.
crat and always has been one. During
the time that he has been ON the bench
some very important questions have
come before him. Those anxious to
know where he stands upon the labor
question can learn by examining his
opinions on the right to strike to pick
ct, the union label, the eight-hour day,
and other similar questions. At the
instance of Congressman Fitzgerald
ONE extracts from these decisions have
been printed in the Congressional Rec
ord. Judge Parker does not pose as
the friend of the laboring man. He
would no doubt resent any such claim
made in his behalf. AS judge he has
done his duty and his decisions ex-
press his opinions on some live cues
tons. In these decisions he has gone
further than any other judge in the
land to recognize the just rights of Or
ganized labor and that at time when
he was not thought of in connection
with the presidency. Labor will do
we'll to recognize its true friends and
not those who are playing before it for
selfish purposes. Before Judge Parker
went upon the bench he was very ac-
tive in politics and then displayed
marked qualities as leader. He was
chairman of the Democratic committee
in New York in 1855 when Governor
Anl was candidate for reelection.
The fact that ninety per cent of the
4 emocratic representatives in congress
are in favor of Judge Parker is pretty
conclusive evidence of his fitness and
availability.
The nomination of Judge Parker
seems a certainty. The situation has
cleared more rapidly than was to be
expected. Democrats eerywhere real
ize that great opportunity is before
the party. Republican misrule has
reached such a point and the degrada-
ton of the public service has become
so open and scandalous that with a
reunited Democracy success should be
assured. There can be no doubt that
the Democrats of the East and South
are for Parker. His own state will
send to st. Louis IS instructed votes
Minnesota Democrats will not, we be-
lieve, take any stand in opposition to
the expressed preference of Democratic
states.

to the contrary, George B. Mcclellan, it
appears, is making the best mayor New

the Seth Low administration are bri-
died by Mcclellan, and business men,
professional men and laboring men are
satisfied with him, says the Olmsted

The Republicans of New York state
are somewhat at sea as to whom they
will nominate for governor, though the
sentiment seems to be growing in favor
of Elihu Root, former secretary of war.
The present mayor of New York city,
George B. Mcclellan, would prove an
ideal Democratic candidate, if he could
be induced to run. Popular with the
masses his election would naturally
follow. He would make an excellent

of about fifty delegates from various
parts of Georgia, Florida and Alabama,
convened at 1920 o'clock this morning.
President C. E. Garner of the Jack

address of welcome on behalf of the
Board of Trade.
Hon. George NJ. Nolan, Mayor of
Jacksonville introduced to the meet
ing, Hon. James f. Wilson, secretary
of agriculture.
In beginning his address Secretary
Wilson said that he came to the con-
Vention to listen to others rather than
deliver an address. as he desired to
ascertain from the representatives OF
the stock industry of the Southeastern
states, in what manner the Depart
ment of Agriculture could be of serv-
ice to the cattle breeders.

The cattle should not be selected pri-
marily to suit the condition of trade,
but to suit the pasturage available.
He told of the various researches
that are being carried on by his de-
partment in other lines and stated that
he is now endeavoring to secure a
large appropriation to carry on expert
ments and ascertain just what cattle
are best suited to each section. He
wanted to set about and ascertain just
what the different sections needs. He
thought there was a great future for
the cattle industry in the South and
said that the Department of Agricul-
ture would do all in it's power to keep

sections.
Secretary Wilson covered the sub

Six Bills Failed to Reach Governor
Vardaman.
Jackson, Miss, March 22-The Mis-
sissippi Legislature adjourned to-day
after session covering two months
and a half. Appropriation bills, ag-
gregating $6,OOO,0OO, covering the next
two years were passed. Among the i'm
portant legislation of the session was
the adoption of a uniform text book
bill.
1t developed this afternoon that
there were six bills which failed to
reach the Governor in time for his
signature. One of them is an impor-
tant measure giving force to the con-
stitutional amendment voted by the
people directing that the poll taxes
shall be retained in the counties in
which collected. This may cause a
muddle in the distribution of the school
fund The amendment has been adop-
ed, but there is nothing to give 1t
force.
The Governor announced to-day that
he would not sign the bill confirming
the merger of the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad and Southern as far as Mis-
sissippi is confirmed, but will hold it
up for two years. Under the constitu-
ton he has to return it to the Legis-
loture within three days after it meets
two years hence. 1t is believed he
will veto It tomorrow.
