Predict Victory /

ginia. Some of the best Informed
campaigners on the Republican side
frankly admit that in the last four
days about half dozen important
states have become entitled to places
in the doubtful column, and the presi-
dent has been told so
1t is said that the alignment as
stated to the president very recently
stands something like this:

eriod of the exodus of the Gold Demo-

period of the exodus of the Gold Demo-
Gratis.
After the platform had been adopted
and after the nomination had been
made, the distinguished nominee tele-
graphed from Esopus to ST. Louis a
personal declaration on the money
question. Every word of his dispatch
to Mr.. Sheehan rang true with manli-
ness and candor. 1t was the first direct
news the party had received from that
respectable cerebrum. No more definite
and satisfactory announcement of the
cand1date's personal acceptance of the
gold standard, and personal intention
TO do all he can, if elected, to maintain
the gold standard, could have been put
into the same number of words. There
is no quibbling in Judge Parker's dis
patch to Mr.. Sheehan, no evasion, no
tr1ckery, no. trace of the methods OF
David B. Hill. And, having made clear
his attitude, Judge Parker courageous
iy declared his purpose to decline the
nomination already made in case his
views -en gold proved unsatisfactory to
the majority in the convention which
had nominated him.-New York Sun.
Alton Brooks Parker
Fifty-tWo years Of age, at the crown
Ing period of robust manhood, SIM
pie of habit, plain of speech, with mind
unclouded and body untouched, a So
ciable. friendly and unassuming man,
Judge Parker finds himself elevated to
the most conspicuous position which
the machinery of our politics permits
any man to occupy.
Il began to use the switch on Alton
when he was young, and I attribute
much of his goodness as boy and his
success as a man to these early cor
receive measures" said his fond old
mother, weeks ago. when his name
first came to prominence. What the
switch did not do. the plain, sound and
earnest healthful routine of farm life
did do for the freckled-faced, curly
headed boy, who little dreamed, as he
was trudging to the country school,
that he was laying the foundation of a
notable career.
Whatever the fortunes of the CAM
paign, it is a remarkable testimonial
to the soundness of our American life
that two such men as Theodore Roose-
welt and Alton Brooks Parker are made
our standard bearers. Not a blenish
on the public services, or private char
acter, the professional honor, or do
mestic life of either.-Des Moines Lead

A drop from so4 sure Republican
electors to 1876 is a rather violent one
and 1t would not be fair to say that
the Republicans regard illinois as in
the doubtful column yet
secretary Cortelyou and the presi-
dent do not believe for a minute that
illinois is doubtful, but they are not
more confident than President Harri-
son and Chairman Thomas H. Carter
were in 1892 that Illinois would go for
the republican ticket. Yet Cleveland
carried it,
senator Fairbanks when asked what
effect the action of Judge Parker would
nave on the vote of Indiana, said at
oyster Bay that it would make no diff
ference, and he would not listen to the
suggestion that the Hoosier State is
doubtful. But nevertheless Senator
Fairbanks has gone home to make the
hardest sort of a struggle for Mr..
Roosevelt and himself

They propose to use in the widest man

has pledged himself to maintain the
gold standard Hill was beaten in the

With this statement oft repeated they

they hope to be able to raise some
money: If they do not the Republican
campa1gners will be without funds
from the very beginning of the can
vaSS.
They admitted yesterday that Judge
Parker had caused such a change of
feeling that they were facing an al
most hopeless task in raising money for
the campaign. They also admitted that
the swing was very strong for Judge
Parker all over the country, and that
instead of being handicapped from
the start by a feeling of discourage
ment, the Democl ats everywhere were
feeling much more hopeful than they
were in July, 1892. The Republicans
hope that the hero worship which is
being showered on Judge Parker will
spend itself in short time. but they
are In the meantime getting ready to
begin work at least three weeks earlier
than In any campaign except that of
1896, when Senator Hanna was busy
before the convention adjourned.
Word has been sent out to more than
a dozen different sections for canvasses
of votes, with view of testing the
feeling of the public, and William l.
Ward has now in his possession copies
of several complete polls which he has
had made in Westchester county.
These he will lay before Chairman
Cortelyou today. Other polls from other.
sections of New York and from other
states are eagerly awaited.

The Parker Telegram

No such situation was ever before
presented. No such test was ever be-
fore confronted. Policy, prudence, am
bftion, ease, peace, all precedents what
ever were against what he said and
did. Action or utterance could be
avoided or evaded by him with GER
tainty of justification everywhere-ex-
cept in his own conscience, and in the
consciences of those who put principles
before selfish monitions to waive-or
defer-consideration of them.
He obeyed his conscience. The con-
vention unanimously acclaimed his act.
1t gave to him the liberty he knew he
ought to have and felt he must have.
In effect it actually made his views it's
own. His opponents themselves are
filed with appreciation and with ad-
miration of what he did.
What he did shines like a great deed
in timid world. Any result, next No
vember, aside, this act Of July has in it
an immeasurable wealth of courage
and of integrity. The moral value of it
is infinite. The influence of it on con-
duct and on character never should,
never will and never can be lost. As
it never was equaled. we venture lit
tie in saying it will never be surpassed.

tain silence, when silence is fitting, can
speak with force and effect when
speech is called for. He has put him
self at once in the position of leader,
and to the conservative confidence that
has been felt in him heretofore will
now be added a measure of enthusiast
tic recognition that will make him a
very formidable candidate.
He has, moreover, performed dis
tinct service to the sound money SEN
tlment, regardless of party affiliations
which must be far-reaching and bene-
fetal in it's Philadelphia

Quick to Hear and Act
The New York World on Saturday
sounded warning which Judge Par
ker was quick to hear. 1t suggested
that the candidate should speak out on
the question of the gold standard and
that the convention should adopt the
monetary plank reported by the sub
committee. Failure to do that the
Werld said. would insure Roosevelt a
walkover.-Hartford Post-Rep.

In reply Mr.. GOmpers says that trade
union morality is higher than business
morality or political morality and
denies that there is any ethical crisis
in the labor movement. He insists
that the union or contract shop rests
on the freedom of contract and collec-
tive bargaining. Since collective bar
gaining implies collective responsibility
