could not, have been acquired but for

the true measure of the head of the

Hud that the possession of any of the
impulsive and willful traits he has at
tributed to the President has led him
into hasty, arbitrary or ill-considered
acts, or into any liollcy inimical to the
public welfare or 1hnt hns not been
fully jiistllled by the event.
No higher tribute could be paid to the
President than the way in which he hns
been singled out by Mr. Pulitzer as. the
one engrossing, overshadowing issue of
tile campaign.
Now, why does Mr. Pulitzer wish to
get rid of a President of such known
and approved qualities to make way for
the untested and unexperienced master
of Itosemoiiut ?
The answer is plain TDK OFFICIOS.
Mr. Pulitzer is a Democrat a trans
planted Missouri Democrat. He knows
that the national Democracy Is very
hungry and very thirsty nnd' that it is
wvary of feeding iihiii the husks that
fall to the sdi.u-c of the opposition party
at Washington.
So long as Mr. Iloosevelt is in the
White House Mr. Pulitzer knows that
every olllee. outside of the classiljed
service, will go to a ltepubllcau. provid
ed there is mi Democrat so much better
qualified for it that to ignore his claims
would creite a national scandal.
What Mr. Pulitzer mid the Democracy
want is th.it the only touchstone of fit
ness ror federal otllces shall be the frav
ed maxim or David It. Hill, "I nm u
Democrat." Fpon lhis issue he has no
misgivings as to the "linn and irrevoca
ble" convictions of the Sphinx of IOsopm.
In Judge Parker's eyes the author of the
maxim '"To the victors belong the spoils"
was the greatest statesman, not except
ing lb). Tweed, New York has ever
produced. And Mr. Pulitzer believe
that a Democratic mummy of the Marcv
sdiool in the White House would not
permit anj qu-stlou of fitness to Inter
fere between the faithful mid the fed
era I pay roll.
At present the sturdy, robust repub
licanism of Theodore Iloosevelt stands
between the Democracy ami the otllces.
How to remove this stumbling Idock in
the path of the lean and hungry wan
derers of IStMS and Wih, is the supreme,
the only Issue lert to the Democracy.
If a national election could lie decid
ed b the voters wanting a Job, irre
spective of their fitness ror it, the De
mocracy under the leadership of Mr.
Pulitzer would be invincible.

His Career as a "Boss."
A PROTEGE OF DAVID B. HILL
"Practical Politician' Who Is Now
Surrounded and Supported by Tarn
many Hall Leaders Brief Glance
at Ills Political Record.
Kver since that July day when the
Democratic National Convention of UKt
ndjoiirned. after nominating for Pres
iil'iut of the Cuitcd States Alton II,
Parker, of New York, the people of the
country Imvo been trying to llnd out
something about the man for whom tiny
are aked to vote early next November.
. It has been hard work. Outside of
the State of New York Alton It. Park
er was practically unknown before the
meeting of the Democratic convention nt
St. Iuis. He still remains, to the vast
majority of voters throughout the coun
try, unknown, except by his name mid
place of residence, with such additional
light as has been thrown upon him by
newspaper portraits.
lu the matter of supplying pictures
of Judge Parker, his home, his wife.
children, grandchlldicn, snti-ln-liiw mid
other relations there has been no stint-
The country has gazed its till upon news
paper cuts representing Judge Parker,
trimmed, so to speak, with various und
assorted young relations, mid in all of
these pictures Mr. Parker has present
ed that bland, open and somewhat pa
tronizing front with which mankind
faces the world when it is striving to
"look pleasant" and at the same time
keep some Infant prodigy still under the
piocess of photography.
To lie sure, the voters have seen pic
tures of Mr. Parker galore, ami pictures
of Ids house ami of his family. They
have been told that he whs, when nomi
nated, a judge, high iqi oh the bench of
the State (if New Yoik, and "the rest
l.s silence." It Is true that Mr. Parker,
when uotiticd of his nomination, pro
nounced, a "speech of acceptance," but
thnt proved such a merry-go-round of
Hat and meaningless words as fairly
stunned the iiuterritied lu their lairs. It
gave no inkling as to wdiat kind of a
man the Democratic nominee might be.
exccit that he possesses the not uncou
eon
ami
mon faculty of talking a great deal
saying nothing.
HearchlitK the Record.
And so the American people sat down
and studied, by such means as they hud
nt hand, the man who asks their votes
for the otllee of Chief Hxecutlve.
"It .seems, like a sort o' 'uusiglit and
unseen' game," said mi old Illinois farm
er. "I guess we'd better not' trade, this
time!"
There remained nnd remains for the
awakened gaze of the Anierlcnu people
the record of Mr. Parker's life, so much
of'it as lias been in the public eye. With
his private life let it be said, once for
all, there is no reproach.
Alton 11. Pinker was born nt Cort
land. New York, in tin neighborhood
where he now lives, more than fifty
years ago. He grew up in I'lster county,
and began the practice of law there as
a young man. From the beginning he
was known as a politician of the kind
which gains ends rather as a manager
than as a candidate. In plain language,
he was a "County Moss" in the Demo
cratic fold. While a very young man
he directed a campaign for Judge Shoon
maker, in whose olllee lie had studied
law. Kncoiirugcd by his success in this
effort lie sought for himself the post of
Surrogate, as the Probate Judge is call
ed in Now York Stale. He was elected,
und held the olllee for many years,
lu this olllee Judge Parker continued
Ills silent and underground activities in
polities of the New York variety: a
variety in cities exemplified by Tam
many, and in the country districts not
one whit behind Tammany in zeal, cun
ning and lliiscrupitlniisucss.
Favored by Hill.
8uy.s a recent writer, speaking of this
period of Judge Parker's life:
"Polities In New York Is hard ami Iron
bound; It Is without sentiment, und hns
no principle save the principle of success.
Tills Is us true of country us of town, us
true of the corntlelils as of Tmiiiiinuy Hall.
Victory Is the only Willie, defeat the only
crime lu New Vwk. .bulge Parker knew
these tilings; lie saw no Walters, courted
no dreams, lapsed Into no tninrcs. Pa
tiently, practically, lie added one iiinn to
another, and the two to soiueliody else, un
til the result of Ids additions wun the con
trol of the county of i'lster"
The steady success of Judge Parker,
his even, business methods, cold mid
bloodless in calculation and results, at
tracted the attention and the favor of
David M lett Hill, lu 1.SS.1, when Mr.
Hill was about to make his lirst can
vass for the governorship of New York,
hu chose for the practical manager of
Ids campaign Judge Parker. Thus at
the age of thirty-three years Judge Park
er became Hill's political manager. He
elected his man.
Mr. Hill, early In his administration
as tlovornor, rewarded his faithful man
aucr by appointing him to the Supreme
Mench of the State of New York. Judge
Parker has, practically speaking, occu
pied the Supreme or the Court of Ap
peals bench ever since.
There is Judge Parker's public record.
A practical politician, a manager of
campaigns, a discovery and protege of
David llenuett Hill!
And now, at the end of this plain, un
varnished tale, it remains to be noted
that from beginning to end ihere Is not
set down in nil the pages devoted to
Judge Parker and his candidacy one
single utterance of inspiration, enthusi
asm, patriotism, or even one word sug
gesting a broad and generous apprecia
tion of public needs ami public Interests,
small or great, In all the years during
which Judge Parker has "handled" local
campaigns.
Ilia Counselor.
Next to a man's acts, Judged by his
avowed motives, there is no safer guide
to Ida character mid his mental quniitles
than his choice of associates und fellow
workers. Turning from thu meaner tnle
of Judge Parker's political life to his
political counselors and intimates, whom
iIa ivn UnilV
vV'yaJjSKJJi David Uenuett Hill and
Tmnmnny! "Ulup-Kyed Wily Sheehah"
Is Judge Parker's friend mid neighbor
nt Roscmount. To him Parker addressed
Ins famous telegram nt the St, Ixiuls
convention. Dully Judge Parker is mir
ronndtsl by the Sheehaiis. O'Mrlens and
the McDonalds of Tammany. There i.t
no hiding from mi nrgus-eyed people, and
the best proof of Judge Parker's lack
of knowledge of the American people Is
thnt he does not know thnt his associa
tion with Taiiiinaiiy will not be excused
or condoned by them. In New York,
he possibly nrgiie", Tammany Is endur
ed, with restivene.HX. it is trilP, but still
endured. OulsJde of New York this Is
not true, but Judge Parker does not
know the true temper of the American
people outside of New York. How
tdiotild be!
The "Kniginu of Hsopus" Is no longer
an enigma. Put forth by the cunning
hand of David It, Hill, supported by
the restrained savagery of Tammany, the
nstute politician mid campaign manager
of I'lster Comity, posed, for a few days,
wrapped about in his judicial robes as
in n garment or veneration and mystery.
A look at ids record, a glance nt his
political associates mul friends, and the
tableau dissolves amidst the choking
smoke of the Hash-light.
PARKER WONT GO TO FAIR.

AWKWARD QUESTIONS.
Demacrata Object to Answering Fi
nancial Interrogatories.
When the "gold" message of Alton II.
Parker reached the Democratic conven
tion at St. l-otiis Willi n J. Ilrynn sug
gested that the currency views of Mr.
Parker ought to be more ex illicitly de
fined in some detail, mid that the con
vention therefore should prepare a list
of questions emmet-led with various
phases of the currency Is-tie for the can
didate to answer, but Master of Cere
monies Williams rushed lo Parker's de
reuse with the Mntenicnt that the can
didate should not be asked to answer "A
LOT OF POUMSH OFFSTIONS."
This was I he mini1 "public be d d"
attitude that arrogant corporations used
to take in refusing to answer questions
of pertinent interest to their stockhold
ers or to the general public, until the
Republican party remedied matters by
passing ii inw- compelling publicity, and
especially established tie Mureail of
Commerce mid Labor to secure it.
Mr. Mryan. all the Democrats in the
convention at St. l.ouls, and in fact all
American voters of whatever political
belief, had a perfect right to expect de
tailed and explicit publicity from Candi
date Parker of Ids views on government
al tinanclul policies, so that they could
know whether or not. or to whnt extent
Ills views were their views. Mut this
publicity was denied them, because the
managers of the convention deemed it of
more important c to protect their candi
date from questions which he would not
want to answer for fear of making a
"break," than to protect the voter.s or the
country from possible misunderstanding
as to financial iew which might not
bear the limelight of public discussion.
The iiiamigers of a corporation con
ducted on unsound lines are always npt to
consider ns "foolish"- questions, which,
if answered, might result In an expose.
And It is the same wny with the Demo
cratic manager, who think their only
snfe policy on the currency question Is
to refuse to glw information as to what
their policy really is.
The Vermont Landslide.
Chairman Milliard of tin Vermont
Democratic State committee said, the
night before the election: "We feel that
If the figure (of the Republican plural
ity! Is below -'.".(KHI this year it is n
sure Indication that the national election
will go Democratic."
Well, the Democratic manager himself
made the estimate. He counted the
chances of the Democratic party in the
pieseut campaign as might be indicated
by the September vote in his own State.
Representing his party, he made the
estimate nnd the result lias been appall
ing for the Democrats the Republican
plurality Isdng Hl.oOO. There hns been
a Republican landslide of about one
fourth over the normal vote in the State
of Vermont.

Roosevelt Preferred to Hill's Candi
date Who Ih Housed by Wull Street.
Thomas K. Watson, Populist candi
date for the Piesh!eny, in n .speech at
Atlnntn. On., on Sept. 1, declared that
the Democratic attack on President
Roosevelt for the hitter's alleged friend-
liness to the negro was a piece of Dem
ocratic hypocrisy and he challenged
Parker to indicate his own position on
the race Issue. On this lioint Mr. Wat
son said:

Ncuro Cry Is Hypocrisy.
Taking up the discussion of the negro
question, ns far as its 'bearing on the
present national campaign Is .viticerucd.
Mr. utson said that the Democratic
national leaders have prostituted the
name of Democrat mid are demanding
that they shall be followed blindly in
spite of the fact thnt they hive re
nounced every principle of Democracy.
Asking, "Will the real Democrats follow
the name rather than the principle';"
he continued:
In the South we are told we must submit
to the surrender to Willi street because ot
"the nigger." Whnt n blessed thing It Is
ror Denied a tic leadeis that they always
have "the nlgccr" to tall hnjrk mi. Tor
thirty yenrs they have been - lining busi
ness on "the nigger," nnd today he Is their
only stock lu trade.
.Note the hypocrisy of It. In their na
tional plntfeim of 187- they solemnly pro
tested their allegiance to the doctrine of
"equality." regardless of race or color,
mid pledged theiusehis to maintain tlo
emancipation nnd Uie enfranchisement or

Nouro Powerless In Politics.
"What can the Southern negro do?"
asked Mr. Watson. "He has Is-en dis
franchised in nearly every Southern
State excepting Ceorgln; and in (Jeorgia
they do not dare disfranchise him, be
cause Democracy lu (ieorgla cannot be
maintained by the white vote." He con
tinued: Tlieiefuie, the try Hint we nre lu danger

Surrender to Wall Street.
Turning to other issues, Mr. Watson
saiil the Democratic lenders had sur
rendered to Wall street because, ns Sen
nlor John W. Daniels, of Virginia, put
it, they were "tired of being in the
minority." He continued:

The populist leader declared than the
