The grafton delivered by Judge Parker
last night follows:
1T has given me great pleasure to ac-
rept the Invitation of your committee.
| have come to your city to make in this
campaign the first speech which it has
been my good fortune to deliver outside
Of my native State. II is the more graf
flying to mesfo do this because of the
close relations that these two States have
always berne. not only as next-door
neighbors, in a geographical sense, but in
these business and social fayors which,
absorbing the attention of their people,
have brought them so closely together
during the whole of their history. There
have been no quarrels or differences to
divide these two great States and their
people from each other, SO that they
have generally been found marching 10
gether in the support of given political
party or cause
Another consideration which makes it
not only the more agreeable to come
among you, and also incumbent upon me.
is that | may say word in commenda-
ton and support of your admirable State
ticket, which represents at their best, the
character, the needs and the aspirations
of the people of your State. 1t has not
been chosen only TO aid the party organi-
zatiQn within your limits. or even merely
to promote the success of the National
ticket, but it personifes the actual con-
tribulation which "a great party should
make to our political activity.
1T is much to be feared that in these
later days the dignity and the value of
cur state Office to our scheme of govern
ment have not been fully appreciated.
This is especially true of the governor
ship, which during all the history of our
country mas been the school in which
statesmen have been trained and from
which they have grown into higher and
perhaps more dignfed positions in our
larger national life.
Perhaps upon this, the first opportu-
nifty which have had to meet my fellow
citizens of the country at large, I may
be permitted to refer to the high stand-
ard which the Democratic party has set
for its state tickets. All along the line,
from one end of the country to the other,
the best men who could be found in their
respective states have, apparently. been
good enough for Democratic ideals and
purposes. The importance of this policy.
not only to the party itself, but of the
country at large, cannot be exaggerated.
No man has been in position to
know better than | that it has been a
great source of strength during the pres
ent campaign. From every part of the
union have found not only the greatest
comfort, but have received the most val
liable help in those efforts which l my
self have made to reach my countrymen
and TO set before them, so far as have
had an opportunity to do so,s the plans,
the purposes and the ideals of a united
party. 1t augurs well for the future,
not only of our party, but of the country,
when this policy has so commended it
self to our people as to find universal
adoption.
Another feature that adds to the pleas
ure Of coming among you is that of the
population of New Jersey, more than
100000 are natives of my own State of
New YORK. |, therefore, not only feed
that come among you to speak to you,
and through you to the people within
your borders and to the people of the
country, but my visit has this still closer
relation, that, after all, am only speak
ing to my neighbors and friends.
This, however, is purely natural and
inevitable result Of the methods under
which the country has been peopled. Be

ton along the Atlantic coast composed

ourselves have seen how, day after day,
