THE VEhM Nj ELECTION

The result of the election in Vermont
they had no hope wha ever of winning,
they flooded the stale with spe FLINDERS
and exerted themselves to the utmost
in an endeavor to reduce the Republican
majority for the effect such a result
might nave in other northern sta.es.
They are we'll aware that TO win Parker
mus break iato the Republican ranks in
the north and west. Had they succeeded,
as they hoped. in ma serially reducing The
Re- ublican vote in Vermont in last Tues
days election. the Democratic press
would have proclaimed a landslide for
parker.
But all signs point to this being a
strictly Republican year. In spite Of the
despe. ate efforts of the Democratic lead
ers the Republicans of Vermont not only
held Their own but e,ected ,l.e;r ticket
with Incl eased plurali,ies.
Following Is the vote in Vermont in
previous elections: Garfield had a piu-
rality of about 1000 in loS0, but the p.u-
rally fell 10 about Y. 900 when Blaine
was the candidate in 1884. and rose again
to about $1,000 when Harrison was the
Republican standard bearer in 1858. III
the last twelve years the Republicans of
vel mi have cleo ed the.l governors by
pluralilies ranging fiom $4,000 in 1880. to
81, 600 in 100. The returns from last
Tuesdays e~.ecticn indica.e that the Re
publican ticket is elected by a p-uraiity
of about $1,000.
Chairman 1aggart's action In sending
a number OF Democratic spelibinders to
the STATE during the campaign recalls an
incident OF a tolmer PRESIDENTIAL cam
paign. Calvin S. brice was moc atic
manager and he sent VOID 10 Bradley
Smaliey, national commit .eeman from
Vermont, that he proposed to send forty

A LUDlCkOUo POSITION

Our political history has never seen a

He then took two years. course
at the Law School at Albany,
from which he was graduated in
1872, when just 81 years old, was
presented with his diploma and
permitted to engage in the prac.
tice of law. For five years there
after he was a clerk and associate
in the law firm Of Schoonmaker &
.Hardenberg, at Kingston, Ulster
county. In all this time he had
taken an lntlligent American in.
terest in politics, with the result
that for two successive terms ne
was elected on the Democratic
ticket surrogate for Uulster coun-
ty, although the county is nom
inally Republican by large ma
jority.
Justice Parker was first ap-
pointed to the Supreme Court
bench by Gov. David B. Hill to
succeed Theoric r. Westbro0k OF
the third judicial district. He was
afterward elected in the same dis.
trict for twelve years without ops
position. In 1897 he was elect
ed to the positisn of chief justice
Of the Court of Appeals of the
State of New York for a period
of fourteen years.
Judge Parker's entrance to ma
tional politics was brought about
in 1884, when all the Democratic
warriors in the StaGe-Daniel

Ill 900 plurality. 1t was suose-
Iouent to this campaign that Mr..
Hill appointed Parker to the SUI
preme court bench, from which
he was raised to the Court OF APP
peals.
In the year following his ap-
pointment by Hill Judge Parker
! was nominated.by his own party,
and the Republicans put forward
no candidate. In January, 1889,
the second division of the Court
of Appeals was created and
Judge Parker was appointed to
| it by.:.Gov. Hill. At that time
Judge Parker was the youngest
man who ever set in the Court OF
Appeals in his State. His age was
thirty-eig0t.
He retained this Office until the
dissolution of the court in 1892,
Then he was appointed by Gov.
Flower a member of the General
Term OF the Supreme Court of
the first department and contin,
u e
the Appellate division of the SUI
preme Court. Then he resumed
the duties or the trial terms in
his own district.
In November, 1897, he was
elected Chief Justice of the Court
of Appeals and assumed the seat
he is now occupying on January
1, 1898.

Judge Parker was born IN the
village of Cortland, Cortland
county, N. Y, May 18th, 1851.
For the sake of definition it may
be said that Cortland is midway
between the cities of Syracuse and
B'nghampton. For twelve years
Alton B. Parker passed his child
public duty, has treated the Sian.
derOus and their slanders with in
difference, making neither self
defense nor retaliation, and he
has been content to await the ver-
dict of time and posterity, 1t has
come sooner than was expected,
and his vindication is complete,
Man can desire no more than
this, and he remains today the
grandest American cltlZon.
There was no occasion for such
an act, but if there had been the

was in a way in the humor to
hood days on his fathers farm,

school in the winter and working
in the fields in the summer time. !.
From the age of twelve years to
that of fifteen the embryo jugde
was a student of the Cortlandt
Academy, Four years thereafter
he spent as a teacher in the viii
1age school at Virgil, Cortlandt
county; at Binghampton and at
Rochester. When suitable inter-
walls occurred young Parker pur-
sued an extra course of study at
the Cortland Normal School. But
his ambition did not rest here.
