Democracy assurance of man. II
every voter in the United States
could meet Judge Parker. he would
get three-fourths Of them. Emphati-
cally, he is the man We have been
looking for, decidedly the man want
ed in the White House.
In the first place, there is no stuff
and nonsense about him. He is as
plain and unpretending as an old shoe
and he fits like one and wears like
one. An eminent jurist undoubtedly
the chief justice of the supreme court
of the Empire State of New York
could be none other-yersed IN the
law; morally a bedrock OF sober
counsels, intellectually very light
house of lucidity and learning. Yea,
and a Democrat; a Democrat of the
school of jefferson and Tilden. II
the people want to get the government
out of the hands Of the mountebanks
and wreckers who now possess it, ard
back into their own hands, they could
not find an agent better suited to thei
purpose than this splendid type of
American manhood.
When he takes oath of office as
president of the United States, even
as modestly as he laid down the Of
flee of chief justice Of the state of
New York, he may be relied on to do
no trivial or foolish thing for the
sake Of the supposed effect He will
not race over the country about WasI-
ington after pack of hounds chas-
ing paper fox.
He will not cause hurdles to be
erected on the plateau adjacent to the
monument to show his agility as a
horseman and exploit himself as a
rough rider. He will rot maze civic
Righteousness speeches from the front
ortico of the White House, with
the spoilsmen laughing and joking
the while as they wait for him to re-
turn to the back office there to finish
the e cheating little Delaware
cut Of her patrimony, or holding
pennsylvania fast to the idolatrous
worship of steel and iron or the rails
ing up in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Iowa, OF the painted Harlot of Rob
md Jobbery, in the character OF
Supreme Being to dupe the manu-
facturer, to cheat the farmer, and to
pillage the workman alike in field
and mill. He will not make common
cause with the aid OF his committee
on rules, to run the legislative grind
in the interest Of the Machine and It's
Head, and not in the interest of the
taxpayers. He will be party Il
no Investigations that do not inves
tigate. He will bring no bogus law
suits meant to deceive the credulous
whilst playing into the hands of thu
trusts. He will restore the lost bal
ance of power equally to the people
and the coordinate branches Of thu
government. He will keep a civi
tongue in his head not merely durini
election tiI1es, but all the time, H,
will respect the venerable in year
and service, not prance through TIL
corridors of the executive mansion
and the departments to display hi
proves now for the edification o
princes and ambassadors. and nov
gain for the humiliation of yeterai
generals and admirals. He will no
require old women and men to stan'
uncovered In the presence OF hi
family and himself. He will not con
vert the presidential abode into
hospital for disabled newspaper hack
and a hosiery for moonstruck literar
scrubs, called to kneel at one thron
of grace and go off and write up tn
war-ldrd. In a word, he will be
Democratic president, the latchsprin
on the outside Of the door, when tn
door is not open wide; a jurist anon
iurists; everything that the bronco
buster Is not, nothing that the bronco
buster is. except that he halls iron
New York and eats three meals day
He belongs to one OF the factions
He is a Democrat. That is all. H
is Democrat as Tilden was Dem
ocrat. He is a Democrat as all OF u
are Democrats who love truth TO
