the RESPONSE 70 PARKER.

Some weeks ago when Colonel Wat
terson sounded the bugle for a demo-
cratic advance all along the line and
said the forces were to fight as ain
unit behind Bryan, The Leader. more
cheerfully than The majority, followed
that call II was because The Leader
felt the grea kentuckian had come
home for the battle and was better
qualified to make newpaper cam
paign than any other a. and the as
sault Of the New Yo. eonspirators
and the shot from Louisville that fol.
lowed demonstrated both the truth of
the statement and soundness of judg.
ment
Watterson did not allow that Parker
insult to the memory of Grover Cleve-
land TO reach Bryan. He plugged II
first. He minced no statement, but
named tae men and the amount of dis.
grace they sought 10 place against
Mr. Cleveland's name.
That is why the democracy is TO

the Watterscn reply to Parker was SO
quick and so complete that we need
no longer anticipate the New York
underwriters for bad laws and spec

any more fayors than allowed by
law
But yesterday Judge Parker was list
ed as man of high honor and pa
trlot The effort 10 serve the New
York underwriters of evil placed him
In the rank as a cheap lawyer who sold
his services as such to Ryan, Belmont
Pulitzer and other specialists In eve
deeds Watterson applied the labe
and made his application with his ma
chine gun Il took the hide off the
c0nceited New Yorker. but allows the
people TO see and understand. The
placing Of antagonism IN convention
over the body of any dead would bt

Lot us have our patients ready ami
give heroic treatment to whose seeks
TO discredit democracy whether the,

Watterson says. we can sympathlze witt
the dead and respect the mourneri

any insult offered by folks who draw
pay for the riots they arouse and the
evil they may attempt.
Lat MS have more when the start
Is made We want no democratic har
