Both Harold and his cousin, Russell

Watterson Hurls His
Contempt at Parker,

LOUISVILLE, KY. July 3.-Henry
Watterson, the veteran editor OF the
Courier-Journal. flung barbed shaft
OF contempt at what he calls the
Murphy-Conners crowd, aided by
Judge Parker" when he commented
on the report from New York that
Judge Alton b. Parker had been Sc
lected to present before the Denver
convention resolutions upon former
President Cleveland's death, the evil
dent object Of which Is 10 discredit
Bryan through highly colored inter-
probation of Cleveland's last message
to the Democratic party.
Watterson says In part:
The attempt to drag the dead body
OF Grover cleveland from its new made
grave into the tumult OF national
convention Will deceive no one. An
invasion of the grief OF the noble lady
who weeps amid the silence and the
solitude OF the granite hills, a blow at
party concord. il is the act OF shame
less hypOcrites. Nor was ever a pro-
fessional ghoul inspired by a more
mercenary spirit. because the sole aim
and end OF the Murphy-Conners crowd,
aided by Judge Parker, is the perpetu-
alton Of the ascendency OF the Bel

Democracy. owes it's last ignominous
and well deserved defeat
II was Belmont Ryan money that
financed Judge Parker's campaign for
the nomination in 1904. 1t was Bel
mont Ryan money that nominated him:
and IL was the Belmont Ryan tag that
made an antitrust government under
such a brand absurd and impossible.
It seemed fitting that. having made
sacrhce for predatory wealth, Judge
Parker should have his recompense in
n rich law practice in the city OF New
York. He has had 1t. and with II and
Its enrichment, he should rest well
