 The omission of Judge Parker to speak vexes our republican friends. He has already made as many speech es as Cleveland made in 1884 or in 1888, or in 1892, when in each year the democratic vote on the presidency exceeded that of the republican party.

It is generally shadowy affair and out of office for a few of 1 the promoters and share of the ..coin'' for the remainder.
