Hi lis"), lieing nominated to succeed
himself as supreme judge, the republi

paid the judge tlie high compliment of

lie was elected without opposition
This may le taken as a tribute to Ills ju
dicial qualities and as indicative of his
political strength. In McKinlcy
carried New York hy a majority of
J70,(nmi. The following year Judge
Parker in his famouscampalgn for the
judgshlp of the court of appeals swung
hick the political tide and rolled up a
democratic majority of ut.ooi) a polit
ical achievement almost without par
allel. New York w ill stand solidly and
powerfully behind the chief justice of
Its court of appeals for the presidency.
Since McKlnley's Ieadof270,(ii)0elght
years ago republican pluralities In New
York have steadily fallen. In lyn, a
year alter Parker's great victory In the
judicial election, Covcrnor Iioosevelt
hail hut 17.000 plurality. In the pres
idential election of I'.km) McKinley had
but no.OOil a loss of 130.000. Roose
velt's plurality was cut to.Ooo in
for (iovemor ( dell. In this election
there were enough scattering votes to
number seven times Udell's plurality
enough If added to the democratic vote
to havenlventhe latter party a margin
of .'iO.OOU. The scattering and Inde
pendent elements have since been tak
en Into the democratic fold. Fight
years have wiped out New York's re
publican plurality. Democratic organ
ization lias superseded democratic
chaos In the vital state, and Parker
spells out husiasm for all elements and
worthy Interests, popular, social, com
mercial, financial. Added to the nor
mal democratic strength which such a
leader would command will he the ac
cession of republican votes repelled
through distrust of an impulsive and
unsafe candidate.
On the other hand, the Republican
party is In no shape for a contest.
Peace between Piatt and Odell is as
difficult as lietween the republican pie
licssos in other states. On the same
day when New York votes for a Presi
dent it will elect a Covernor, and of
necessity he will be either a Piatt or
an Odell man. It is certain that to
some extent the knife will be plied by
the factionists. Piatt's followers in
the cityandbynomeansan inconsider
able number In the State would light
an odell man, probably with even
more vigor than they founht Odell in
l'.ioj. The odell people up-State would
battle to down a Piatt man. The
presidential stake w ill not have suffi
cient weinht to suspend the factional
war. It should be borne in mind that
both factions are essentially different
from that in Wisconsin. In the latter
state the fued Is fresh. In New York
it Is old and deep.
W i 1 1 1 New York added to the demo
cratic count the element of doubt over
the result In November is lessened hy
a tremendous margin. Two hundred
and thirty-nine electoral votes are re
quired to win, and of these democracy
stands assured of being the IV. of
the solid south, including Maryland,
which the republican authorities con
code, and the thirty-nine of New York.
Democracy, therefore, has to find but
forty-one votes.
As New York goes so in all probabil
Ity w 111 go Connecticut, with its seven
votes, and New Jersey with Its ten.
West Virginia, with its seven, may lie
counted upon with reason. California
with ten is likely to bo taken from the
republican column. Republicans con
cede It to lie doubtful. Wisconsin,
with thirteen, Is doubtful, but a (lorn
ocratlc probability. The total eloc
toral vote of those .states Is forty-seven
I ndlana may he considered confident

Tying Indiana with Its tifteen votes
Democracy could make up its necessa
