The Duty of Cleveland Democrats.
Mr. Cleveland has fso clearly pointed
out to these who believed In the prin
ciples for which lie contended In life
their proper course In the coming elec
tion tlmt it would seem that they
needed no further suggestion. That
, Jndgo Parker , Into Democratic candl-
I dale for president , should be training
In the llryr.ii camp Is iu accord with
his record of loyalty to Bryan In 18M ! !
< and 1000. Judge I'arker acted at that
, time from motives of party loyalty ud
not because he believed in the Bry-.u
programme of free sliver. It' ho should
open his heart at the present time , it
would be found that he was governed
i by the same motives -not his belief
j that Btyau would accomplish anything
, dcdlrnhla for the country , but that
having been forced upon the party It
| was bis duty lo support him. Tb.nl.
! Judge I'arker should see fit to do th'.s
after the merciless manner in which bo
was knifed , stabbed In the back nnd
butchered by the Bryan following all
I over the country in the last oleetion Is
1 creditable to his Christian humility ,
but not to bis personal dignity.
' Mr. Cleveland was a broader man
( hat Judge Parker. Ills motto was not
1 "My party , rlffbt or wrong , " but "My
, country before my p-irty. " T'pon the
1 broadest pub- ! ! grounds he recom
mended t i his fellow cill/eiis to veto
for Judge Taft , In whose bands the
; interests of ( he republic would bo wife.
It is dlllicuit to understand bow any
nine-ore friend nnd mlmlrer of Sir.
Cleveland can tltul anything in the
present Hryan program mo which reminds -
minds him of ( bo Cleveland policies.
It is dlfllcult eveu to understand how
1 any personal friend of Mr. Cleveland
> can vote the Bryan ticket without foci-
ing that bo u Inmiltlng the memory of
, the dead cx-prtwldeut. At the Iieiuo-

upon tiie nomination of Bryan. Br.i.-n
anil his followers would not nl that
time even commend the honesty , lldel-
lly and courage of a Democratic presi
dent.
As ( lie convention of Ibbi year approached
preached , wllli ( ho bells hardly sllenl
which lolled the funeral dirge of the
e.vprosldoni , sumo resolutions were
prepared by Judge 1'arker , commend
ing ( administration of Mr. Clcvc
Inn.I. including his oiTortr to support
111. ' public credit. Inevitably a resolu-
lini of ( bis sort was Ilku a red rag tea
a bull when It Hashed across ( he e.\es
of ihe advocates of. free nllvcr and fn'o
paper. The matter of Indorsing Mr
Cleveland wan taken out of the baml <
of Judge I'arker and of the sound
money men of the east and a colorli"s

might as vell have been passed hi
memory of I'oik or Buchanan.
The true friends of Mr. Cleveland ,
who flood shoulder to t'houlder with
him through the whirlwind of calumny
showered upon him by Bryan nnd his
followers , are. likely lo llnd little sign
of a flunge of heart in the present at
titude of the Bryan parly toward the
last Democratic administration. This
Is slguiUcant , beyond the question of
persons , because it goes to show that
Mr. Bryan Is not rendy to openly re-
car.t aiy : of his fallacies In regard lethe I
the monetary system nnd the natl'imii '
cvit. ; : ! l'pui : every ground of public
duty as well as wlf respect the true
frlcndii of Mr. Cleveland , whether they
call tlipnirelvea Democrats or tilmply
Independent and patriotic citizens , are
more likely to eur.l Ihelr votes for a
candidate who repro i-nls their sound
money principles than to lie. down with
the lamblike Innocence of Judge I'ar
ker with the lioi : of free silver and
free grcenb.icUs nt Ihe rlf.k of being de
voured.

"Is fiction declining ? " asks a Chlen
