Judge Parker.

Washington Post.
 A blameless judge. who has been on the bench of the courts of last resort of his State for eighteen years, may certainly be thought to represent law and consti- tutional restraints on the Executive very well as against a candidate whose sole political principle, as elucidated by his friends. is to do things for the sake of the larger good" Moreover, Judge Par ker's skirts are clear of all complicity In the lawnessness of the past six years. He has not helped on, as have the Demo- crats at Washington. the work of de- stroying the Constitution. When Bryan took up the anti-imperialist issue in 1900, people laughed because he advised the ratification of the Treaty of Paris. But. so far as is now known, with Judge Par ker as candidate, anti-imperialists. Cleveland Democrats, Cleveland Republl- cans, Independents, and the independent press could all unite in supporting him as the champion of Constitutional liberty yainst unprincipled lawlessness. The issue is all the more important because in this election very little but the Presi- dencY is at stake. For the next four years Democratic legislation Is out of the question. But whether we want Ex- ecutive usurpation to go on or not, we can settle out of hand

A coRRrcr 1rrw.

Replying to the statement that Mir. Cleveland could not accept nomination, even If rendered unanimously and by ac- ciamation. without stuItifying himself. The Chicago Chronicle argues that "Mr. Cleveland might be nominated. he might accept the nomination. he might make an enthusiastic campaign and he might be elected and serve out his term without convicting himself or anybody else of in- sincerity"
 That Is the correct view of it. We do not for a moment doubt Mir. Cleveland's perfect sincerity when he declares that he Is not candidate and does not want the nomination. As we view the situa- tion. we, see no probability of his name being presented to the convention. but we know that the unexpected sometimes happens in politics. We know 1t is not impossible that conditions might arise which would stampede the convention 10 him. but this possibility Is so remote that there's no need to discuss it. The Adver- tiser yields to none in its admiration for the ex-President. For time we firmly and sincerely believed that he ought to be nominated and that he would be, but con- ditions and his own positive declarations have satisfied us that such an event is not to be looked for and we have ceased to advocate it.
 All this, however. does not in any measure alter the fact that he might. as The Chronicle declares. be nominated and elected without laying himself open to the charge of inslncerity. He has not once declared that he would not accept domination. and if it should come to him by acclaniation he could accept just as he has always accepted any civic duty that came to him. If the unex- pected should happen and he should be the unanimous choice of the convention he would accept 1t from a patriotic sense of duty and no one would have a right to censure him. We insist, however. that his enemies have no cause to fell uneasy

Condition of Governor.

Editor The Advertiser:
 In view of the general anxiety which is felt. and the exaggerated reports which have been put in circulation concerning the Governors condition, we have thought 1t best that I should write . short explanation of the nature of his illness. So that his thousands of friends may have a better understanding of the reasons which induced him to take this vacation.
 There Is a slight local. tubercular in- lection which has not to any appreciable extent affected his general health. The condition is one easily amenable to tSeat- ment. and he has been advised to spand a short time in New Mexico because of the fact that his recovery will he more rapid in that climate and because he may obtain more absolute rest from the responsibilities of his office.
 have every reason to believe that he will return to Alabama, after an absence, of few weeks. completely restored to health, and take pleasure in correcting, in this manner, the impression that he Is seriously i'll.
 He is in no need of constant medical attention. and I am in his party as q friend rather than a physician

Patriotism Before Section.

Fort Gaines Recorder.
 Of course, as Southern Democrats, we would. be glad to have one of our own men selected. We have a number of them who are fully qualified and deserv- ing, but in this election. at least. the im- upon whom Democrats may unite, and with whom we can succeed. Patriotism suggests that the good of the whole coun- try Is the paramount consideration, and that the first and highest duty Of Demo crats Is to deliver the Government from the spoilators who now have it by the throat and who seem determined to squeeze the life out of 1t. When that duty has been accomplished, as we hope ana believe 1t will be, then the South will come into her own again. Just now fine kepuohcans may reserve their tears

The alternates named are respectively Jonn B, Stanchfieid of Elmira, Norman E. Mack of Buffalo. former Secretary Of tie Treasurer John c. Carlisle Of New rork. and Mayor George B.
