The passage in Judge Parker's ad-
dress which will commend great atten-
tion is his declaration that should he be
elected president, be will at the end Of
is hterm retire to private life; he will
not be candidate for denomination
nor permit his name to be used. This
determination is based. as all Judge
Parker's determinations seem to be
based. Oh high patriotic ground. He
believes it best that when such mo-
mentous questions come before the pres
ident as now frequently appear he
should be free to act, and the people
should know that he is free to act,
without consideration of his future
political fortunes. For that one term
the president of Judge Parker's ideal,
should surrender himself to his people,
living and acting as independent of sci.
fish motives as lies in the power of
man. Il is an inspiring thought that
we may have such chief executive.

altogether uneventfui campaign. The

soral preference. There have been a
sufficient number of candidates for
this office, and their speeches have
commanded some interest and atten-
tion. There has, however, been no
real enthusiasm in the campaign, and
it is perhaps as we'll that it is ended.
Governor Heyward appeared at to-
DAYS meeting and several Of the State
officers spoke briefly. Adjutant Gen.
Frost and others Of the State officers
we're so busy at the State House that
they could not get away to say pleasant
things to the Richland people.

Court House this morning and ad-
dresses were made by some of the
State officers, by all of the candidates
for railroad commissioner and by the
candidates for solicitor from this cir
cult.
Chairman John P. Thomas, Jr.,

voters making good selections Of their
public officers, and then he spoke
glowingly of the chances of Demo
cratic success in the national cam
paign.
