One might expect that there would
be great deal of bitterness in the talk
among the hordes who were at the St
Louis convention. but some Of the lit.
erature made use of by those who
fought Parker, may turn up TO plague
the authors. Here is dodger which
was distributed freely:

has run for public Office IN his own
state. came in last.
"One opposed by the democratic Sec
tions Of his own state.
"On backed by the sugar trust. the
Belmont banking railroad clique. and
similar so-called democrats.

There was also an interesting four
page circular containing the names of
the New York contesting delegates and
a great deal Of information about the
situation in that state. The resolu-
tions adopted in the Cooper union con-
vention June 20 were printed in full,
and in these it is declared that Parker
is merely Dave Hills man. The resolu-
tions say:
Judge Parker is silent. Senator
Hill speaks for him. We know Sena-
tor Hills record AS governor Of the
state Of New York he blocked the Sec
ret ballot, the safeguard Of liberty.
AS senator he opposed his partys po-
sition on the tariff and the income. tax.
The people of New York expressed
their opinion OF Senator Hill when he
was beaten for the office Of governor
in 1894, by 156,000 votes. receiving
137. 900 votes less than President Cleve-
land received two years before. and
161, 900 votes less than the democratic
candidate for president In 1900. Meth
er harmony, confidence, nor success
can now follow his discredited leader
ship. The attempt has been made to
show that Judge Parker is popular in
New York state because he was elected
in 1897. He was elected because the
name Of his opponent. Judge Wallace.
did not appear on the ballot OF the Cit
izens Union, in the city Of New York.
The combined votes Of democrats and
republicans for the four candidates fo,
MAYOR of New York exceeded their
combined votes for chief judge OF the
court Of appeals by $4,000 votes.
Though Judge Parker was elected by
plurality of 10000 votes, his vote
was 10000 less than the democratic
vote for governor the next year. and
124, 600 less than the vote for Mr.. Bry-
an for president In 1900. He was then,
as now, an unknown man, who receiv-
ed light vote in an off year, was
elected by an accident, due to local
conditions. Judge Parker is the can
didate of tariff beneficiaries, imperial
ists monopolists ad those who profit
by special privileges and seek to up
hold them as vested rights"
The additional two days at the ma
tional convention cost the Iowa dele
ga ton about $500 for room rent alone.
But they are saying it was we'll worth
the price. The two days afforded the
best show.
There are not very many of those
who voted for Palmer and Buckner
who can be located in Iowa at this
time An investigation will be made
to find if any of them are left who
may be got back into the party. If
they can be located they will be asked
to again become democrats.
The attitude of democrats of Dees
Moines toward the Parker-Davis tick
ct will be shown this week when the
Polk county convention meets. 1t will
afford their first opportunity to fndorse
the ticket and the platform. Jerry
Sullivan, on one occasion. remarked
that the democracy of Polk county was
badly in need Of a new set of managers.
Perhaps the opportunity will now be
taken to shake off the old and take
on the new.
