Judge Parker replied that he must refuse to

said the Governor, and found decision writ
ten by Judge Parker in June in which he laid
down the most drastic lines Of law affecting the
trust where fraud had been perpetrated. I
honor him for it, because think that is step
in the right direction, but what would have been
the case II II had been known when he wrote the
opinion. If he had been a Republican. that he
held stock in the shipbuildlng Trust? Do you
think If he had been a Republican judge he
would have escaped viliicaton and abuse by

hater Of womankind, David B. Hill.

the themes OF vigorous condemnation. In
sledgehammer blows. delivered straight from
the shoulder, Governor OdelI took up the charge
Of "Odellism' made against the Republican or
ganization. and sent it hurting back against the
Democratic party.
Or. one occasion he asked his audience If his
vetoing Of the Remsen gas grab was part Of the
"OdeIIism" charge. and the audience broke into
a perfect fury Of applause

enable his voice to BE heard, Governor Odell
said
Notwithstanding the charges that have been
made against the administration at Albany,

VIII tell you what 'Odellism really stands for.
II stands for vetoing the Remsen Gas BILL for

constant cry that NeW-York cannot run its po-
lice force without going 70 Albany. but as a
matter OF fact. last winter. at my suggestion, a
bill was passed in Albany 10 allow the city to
Increase its force without recourse to Albany.
But what can you expect Of people who don't
want 10 be honest? Ask Herrick If he Will ask
Murphy whether or not he has any connection
