PARKER'S DEMOCRACY.

We believe il is generally conceded
that Judge Alton b. Parker, the
Democratic nominee for the presi-
dency, is a Democrat, and true
member OF the Democratic fold. So
far as We are aware, no person has
ever seriously questioned the child
like faith of the eminent jurist, and
the devotion of the Judge 10 the best
interests of his party.
When he, however, placed himself
on record as a disciple of sound
money, and as being opposed to free
silver, little Willie Organism, etc,
we are DECIDEDLY of the opinion that
he showed himself to be at heart
more of Republican than Demo
crat.
Ii viii be remembered, however,
that he did not dare place himself on
record as Il gold Democrat until after
the nomination had been given to
him by his party. Then, and not
until then, did he declare himself in
favor of the yellow metal. Is he
honestly in favor of sound money, or
is h. only a wolf in sleeps clothing?
1t will be remembered that only
four Years ago he voted FOR Bryan, free
silver, and all implied by it, and by
SO doing endorsed everything, free
silver included, in the then Demo-
cratic platform. Has he honestly
changed his views, repenting in sack
clolh and ashes for his past great sin.
or is this a shrewd move for both
Democratic and Republican votes
Gold Democrats and Republicans
alike should be careful how they cast
their votes for man who claims to
believe he was wrong four years ago,
and in the face of his past political
record, wants to swear by all that is
pure and holy he is right to-day.
President Roosevelt's views on the
financial question are well known to
everybody, and every voter in the
land will be safe in casting their bal
lots for him. Judge Parker may be
all right, and then again he may be
all wrong, but at any rate we can af-
ford nor to take chances on electing
him-brilliant politician as he is-to
the presidency. He stands about as
much show for that eminent office as
does the humble individual who pens
these lines.

Died.

PRITCHARD.- her home on Third
street in Oakland Monday evening
acOut ten o o'clock, after an illness of
several weeks of typhoid fever,
Mrs. Galusha H. Pritchard. Mrs.
Pritchard was born in Ohio where
she was married and returning to
Oakland with her husband she re-
sided here ever since. She leaves
four children, three daughters and
one son. Her funeral took place
Tuesday afternoOn'frOm her late resi-
dence, the services being conducted
by Rev. J. NJ. Davis and DR.. Scott.
WHITE-At her home three miles
south of Oakland. after an illness of
many months, Mrs. Rachael White,
wife of William White of Joseph.
Mrs. White was II years of age and
died yesterday morning. Her funeral
will occur this afternoon, the inter
ment to be made in the Lower bury
ing ground. Mrs. White was noble
Christian lady, loved, respected and
endeared to all who knew her. Her
many good traits of character and
her neighborly instincts will cause
her loss to be the more regretted.
She leaves besides her husband, who
is one of Gods noblemen, one daugh-
ter and two sons, they being Mrs.
Kate Junkins, of Bayard, West Va.
Roila G. White, who resides on the
farm, and Holland, who resides in
Texas. Mrs. White was also the
mother of the late Mrs. William
Riley, of near Ryans Glade, and the
late Mrs. Chaso J. Newman, of near
Oakland, whose death but recently
occurred. To the bereaved husband
and children the sympathy of the en-
tire community is extended.

exerting his best efforts for a Re
publican victory, Maryland will re-
main in the Republican column at
presidential elections, a position
which she took in 1896 for the first
time since 1864, and which she main
tanned in 1900.
Not only is harmony restored in
Baltimore but it exists in the state
Congressman Sydney E. Mudd and
W. H. Jackson have agreed to ''let
the dead past bury its dead" Mr..
Jackson has agreed to accept a re-
nomination on the Eastern Shore.
This virtually means his election.
Mr.. Watcher will have no opposition
for denomination to Congress in his
city. There is every prospect of his
reelection.
By the restoration of harmony the
Republicans face bright future in
this state. They are beginning to
realize how costly are their feuds.
\ glance at the returns of the cleo
ton last November shows that it
was not the large Democratic vote
and accessions to the Democratic
ranks that brought Democratic vic
toro, but it was in the slump in the
Republican vote that brought Re
publican disaster-a slump that was
directly traceable to factional strife
within the party.

SILVER SNAKE NOT SCOTCHEL

Intelligent voters should be careful
lest they be led into BELIEVING tile con-
tentiOn of some of the Eastern Demo-
Gratis that the Democratic party is now
in favor of the gold standard. There
if no room for any misunderstanding
on this question. Judge Parker
on his platform, which had been
adopted by an overwhelming vote in
the convention, and the party did
not sustain him, but simply, in order
to eXtricate itself from situation
that threatened disruption of the
convention, notified him to go ahead
and hold the political postmortem in
his own way aud make whatever dis
position of the corpse he deemed
proper.
The masses of the Democratic or
ganization fully understand that
they were imposed upon by trickery
and falsehood, to which it submitted
rather than renew ? fight which had
o1liOhNS CAIduSGeu UHelu. L he silver
men are keenly aware that they were
buncoed at the eleventh hour and
robbed of their just share OF the fruits
of the convention by trickery and
cunning on the part of David B. Hill
and his lieutenapts. The result is
that the party still has it meaningless
platform and Silver orators of the
West can point to the fact that the
platform does not declare against
their beliefs. So far as the platform
goes the Democratic party is just as
much of free silver party to-day as
it was when W. j. Bryan led it to two
defeats. If evidence outside the plat
form is needed to show that the silver
men are still confident of controlling
the party organization, w. j. Bryan
has supplied that evidence. In a
formal, written statement, issued
| upon his return to Lincoln from the
st. Louis convention. he said: GAS
soon as the election is over | will,
with the help of those who believe as
| do Gin the coinage of silver at 16 to
y, undertake to organize fer the
campaign of 1908"
The silver snake has not been
scotched. 1t has hardly been stunned
