THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

that made antitrust movement under such
brand absurd and impossible.
"It seemed fitting that having made sacrifices for
predatory wealth Judge Parker should have his
recompense in rich law practice in the city of
New York. He has had it, and with it and its en-
rchment he should rest we'll content That he should
emerge from this highly paid obscurty to make
trouble through sheer malevolence were pitiabe in
deed; but that he should appear backed by money of
the trust magnateS and traction thieves, appealing
to Jefferson and Tilden, with the dead BODY of
Cleveland stretched upon the dissecting table, is
disgraceful
1T is not only dsgracefu but its motive is grotes
quely and transparency obvious. The wing of the
democratic party in the state of New York to which
Judge Parker and the group with which he is now
acting belonged the David Bennett Hill wing
They were the inveterate, implacabe enemies of
Grover Cleveland. They hated him and he hated
them Although amid the gloom of defeat kind
OF truce was reached, there never deal for
amnesty on either side, that the scheme to recall
the shade of Cleveland and to set this up as a
deaths head in comedy of mock funeral would be
too dastardly and too CHASTITY for belief if it
not the last desperate play of clique of discreded
politicians seeking to rule to ruin at any cost
Standing about the open grave of Mr.. Cleveland,
those of who knew him, but did not always ap-
prove him or agree with him. were not only willing
that by cones should be by-gones but that the good
alone should live after him. He is dead He sleeps
with those that went BEFORE from Jefferson to Til
den, and history can be trusted to do him njus-
tee ReSurrected at Princeton and proclaimed at
Denver his spells frebrand and only firebrand
and firebrand is the sole initiative and purpose of
the body snatchers who propose to it to conure
dlssens1on whilst they try to corrupt delegates.
In Mr.. Bryan and reunited party democrats saw
hope of victory On none other was there the
smallest hope of union That they reason truly has
been shown by the fact that with the Ryan Belmont
bar'P on tap and its agents flying about in every
direction, state after state refusing to be tempered
with tainted has declared for the Nebraskan
Seeing this, Judge Parker is put forward to deliver
the final stroke of the bravo, and under the pre-
tense of honoring the memory of Cleveland to
plunge a blade, reekng with poison artfuly pre-
pared, into the heart of democracy That he should
lend himself to such villainy will enguf him in the
scorn of honorable and the detestaton of
thoughtful democrats.
There is no more reason why democratic ma
ton should go out of its way to sgnaize former
democratic president than another why it should
rush upon Cleveland with frenzy of words than
with mythical shrek it should rush upon Buchan-
an; each, Buchanan and Cleveland having had the
misfortune to divide the party The spectacle in
the case of Mr.. Buchanan would lack common sense
In the of Mr.. Cleveland it lacks both common
sense and common decency. AS we'll dig up the will
Of Mr. Tiden which Judge Parker decided against
the instructions and wishes of the sage of Greystone
and make it the subject of euogy for the sake of
controversy. AS well invoke the spirit of the war
ring democrats of 1860 and seek to force the Doug
las men to pay tribute to the Breckenridge men
Under any circumstances and from any quarter the

resolution on the threshold of a national movement
