HILLISM AND BRYANISM.
Judge Parker Must Repudiate Both to Have
Any Prospect.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Your brief article yesterday entitled In
Bad Company appears 70 be warranted by the
facts, while the respect and esteem expressed
for Judge Parker personally appear to he sin
cere and well deserved. Although he twice
voted FOR William J. Bryan he now repudiates
him and has condemned his Darty-s national plat
form for not specifically declaring against Bryan
ism and in favor OF gold standard. The company
with which Judge Parker is identified however
makes another brief but very important plank in
the platform Indispensable TO deserve popular sup
port which may be expressed thus;
Resolved. That it IS both the legal and the neral
eveTythtn Csc that docs aos 6eio5 70 '5nS a49
he finds them.
That sacred and valuable principle has no
stsnCher adherents than It has among Democrats
who for their fidelity to it have been given the op-
prob-ium by David 3. Hi OF Mandy Paulbys."

The injection Of a gold standard plank would
have been looked upon by number or States az

that they would not tolerate.
