WHEN HE RECORDED HIMSELF.

From The Network Evening Mail
ANY effort create Parker legend, 10 giortfy
the Democratic candidate as a man who would
rather be right than President. runs against the
stubborn and intractable fact OF the Albany plat
form which The Evening Post hailed az
fording "a trustworthy line on Judge Parkers con-
victions-"
II that platform affords such line, the Judge
in April had convictions on the gold standard
beyond the belief that it would be well net 10 say
anything about II. The Albany announcement
was silent gold. II must have been good enough
for the candidate then, for he initiated its exam
pic He was silent gold for the eighty-two days
succeeding its adoption, during which time the
canvass organized in his behalf ana a two
thirds vote secured for him at St Louisa sup
port which. according 10 the charge OF Bryan and
The fnadyerteut admission OF Mack, could not
otherwise have been secured
The Democratic party had right 10 suppose
thar at St Louis II was constructing q platform
according It's candidates. wishes when Il cut
out the gold plank II recalled his votes FOR Bryan
in 1886 and 1900 and followed the precedent OF his
Albany platform. We take up the cudgels in be-
half OF Hill and the other platform makers. and
OF the party that assented 10 their work. TO the
OF wing that IL is unfair 10 seek to glorty
Parker to their detriusnt and at their expense
