Parker is satisfactory to Morgan and

as day that the Parker boom finds its
source in Wall street, there are many
democrats who are trying to argue
themselves into believing that Judge
Parker would be a good man to har-
monte on. He has the same envir-
onment that Mr.. Cleveland had, and
it can be set down as certainty that
Wall street always finds out a mans

JUDGE PARKER "HTs OWN PLAT

The Press-Post columbus. Oniol in
appeal for support Of Judge Parker,
says:
0In breaking the sphinx-Iike silence
he has maintained, Judge Parker has
fulfilled the promise OF his sponsors
when they asserted that he was the
ideal candidate for safe and sane
democracy.
Taking his speech as its keynote,
the democracy clearly is presenting
it's appeal to the nation on grounds
to which the most conservative can
raise no objections No longer can
the charge Of wishing to disturb the
business conditions Of the country be
laid at the door of democracy.
Even more than the platform, does
the speech Of Judge Parker indicate
that the party has completely re-
versed the policy of the last two cam
paigns.
mo longer can the democratic par
tv be characterized as socialistic, pop
ulistic or anarchistic, for it contains
no element of any one OF these doc
trines or set OF doctrines.
There is none of the Roosevelt in
Judge Parker. He is as distinct from
Roosevelt as day is from night. There
is no trace of Bryan, of Debs, OF
Weaver. or of Swallow. He is him.

THE BRooKLYN EAGLE.


After having accomplished the re-
organization of the democratic PARTY,
the reorganiZers, Of which the Brook
Ign Eagle has been most conspicuous,
propose to rub it in" on the reform
democrats. The Eagle recently said
that the gold telegram OF Judge
Parker had made the convention right
about face, after the Bryan men had
been absolutely foored. Judge Par
ker had made the convention reverse
itself, and his telegram ds gold
plank, had virtually been injected into
the bowels of the platform, and the
overthrow Of Bryan and his handful
Of malignants or sciolists had been
made manifestly complete Injected
into the bowels Of the platform" is
certainly a dignifed expression to
come from the chief organ of the
safe and sane democracy It refers
to Mr.. Bryan as having broken loose
again. and having given the aihe-
sion of the lip and the ineisiOn OF the
dagger to Judge Parker's candidacy"
Nor was free silver, says the
Eagle, the only infamy and idiocy of
the platforms of 1896 and 1909 Free
riot, the packing OF the United States
supreme court in the interest of Iepu-
diation and riot, sympathy with mur-
derous strikes and striking murderers,
the war on thrift and property, in.
volved in demand for a tax OH In
comes, and many other abomina-
tions," etc. The two planks IN the
ST. Louis platform that squint at pro-
gressive democracy. the Philippine
and tariff planks, the Eagle roundly
denounces, but these, says the Eagle
do not command our open hostility,
because the republicans will have the.
senate, for the whole Of the next pres
idential term, and can not lose it"
Besides the Eagle is sure that Parker'sl
nomination nullifes the nonsense" Of
these two planks. Think of tie atti-
tude of a party that appeals for votes
by assuring the country that voters
need not fear the. only two planks
that do seem to raise an issue, by as
surfing them that their candidate will
be conservative and safe and sane
on these points, and that even If the
party does go wrong on them, the re-
publicans will protect the country
from rash democracy. Think of it,
And then to think OF an intelligent
man asking other intelligent men to
support such a ticket And here il;
the warning that the Eagle serves
upon all those democrats who were
loyal to their ticket when it was worth
supporting. while it turned traitor.
Those who expect consideration at
the hands of the new democracy,
which is the old. will do we'll to keep
their Identification with the rancid
rottenness of 1896 and 1900 out OF
sight and out Of mind" There you
have it, Mr.. Bryan democrat. How
like YOU the picture? Think Of the
absurdity of the attempt to harmonic
such a democracy. Think OF the
idiocy involved in the attempt to per-
suade the American people TO elevate
to trust and power such malodGrous
aggregation Of pretenders

brought in play, They created a con-
dition Of affairs that brought on a
stagnation in business /; factories were
closed and building ceased. In every
town and city thousands Of the unem-
ployed men who under Republican
rule were able to earn comfortable
support for their families were re-
duced to the condition of pau pers and
forced to resort to the soup kitchens
to avoid the pangs Of starvation.
Under McKinley's wise and good
government our country has advanced
with such rapid strides, that the
world is amazed at our progress, and
people from every country are fiocking
here to partake of our enterprise.
Every class Of business and industry is
carried on and pursued. Everyone
who is willing to work can find en-

the best employed, the best paid, the
best fed, the best clothed, the best
housed, and the best educated people
Of any country in the world.
Where, in any age or In any country,
could be found a condition of life and
comforts equal to what we are now
enjoying? And yet the Democrats
are telling us that we are being robbed
and downtrodden by bad laws and bad
rules maintained under this Republi-

j One word more The Democrats
i have always been preaching to the
workingmen everywhere that the Dem
Ocratic party was the best and only
friend Of the workingman. In the
i days of Southern slavery they told YOU
the same thing; but when they got
i your votes every Democratic congress
man voted with the SoutherneTs t6
maintain slave labor and kept it in
competition with free labor. That is
the way they showed their friendship
for the working man.
In the Cleveland campaign they
raised the cry OF Robber Tariff anC
that the poor man had to pay tax d

OLD MEMORIES
Revived BY the Address Of I. E.
Salmon at Morris Plains
Banner Raising.
A BIT OF DEMOCRATIC HISTORY

At the raising of the Democratic
banner at Morris Plains recently the
son Of former Congressman Salmon in
addressing the meeting detailed a
lengthy list Of bad and incompent
laws imposed on the people by the Re
publican party through its leaders, by
which the masses were robbed and
downtrodden, and advising the electors
to vote for a change. In the course of
his remarks he said:
If our grandfathers were back here
now we would soon have a change and
get back to the good old Democratic
times"
But there were few in that crowd
who remembered any Democratic
times, with the exception of Cleye-
lands. Still. there is one of the
grandfathers here who has a very clear
memory of what he calls 81 the good
old Democratic times,'' and remem-
bers well when Franklin Pierce sat in
the Presidential chair; how he created
new offices and filed them with his
henchmen, using up every dollar OF
Federal income until there was not ar
available dollar left in the Treasury
When General johnson was sent
with his troops to put down the Nor
! mon rebellion, he was caught in a
storm in the wilderness and was OBJ
| liged to encamp there as the snow was
too deep for the army to move. Theil
| provisions gave out and there were
none in the government stores fit tx
send, nor was there dollar in The
treasury available for the purchase o,
army supplies. The people in thu
eastern cities called mass meeting.
and appointed committees to collect
supplies from the merchants of The
| cities, and the call was freely re
sponded to.
When the committee in New Yorl
/ had collected a large amount of goods
the express companies were asked t.
forward the supplies by relays Of fast
engines for the army badly needed
