Tba toUowiug editorial review of Judea Parker’s latter of aocaptenee by Tba Saws and Courier gives a pretty fair idea of the latter, whioh la strong and t6 tba point: Judge Parker's letter of aeerptanoe is before b.s fellow citizens. It eon* tains a Straightforward and vlgcrous enumeratioo of the Issues of the Pres idential campaign. In language, tone and temper It is in stHking contrast to tliat bitterly partisan, politically vituperative, offensively self-assertive, hoprlasily dlsingenuops, oharpoterlet- ica’ly Boosevelteao tirade recently ut tered at O/atar Bay. At empting to rbetorlcal aiteota, it appaals to intalll- genee rather than to paasloo. It aeeka no unfair advantage through tba manipulation tf facte«r the mia- rapraaentatloaof pollofteand purpoaea. la neither abuaa for nor in- of tbosa of opposing oonvic The prlndplaa of tba Demo- cra ie party ate caimy, clearly and none aaly ck fined. Tbera la no attempt to evade Issues or to shirk responsibi lity. Wherever a gaunttat la thrown down by tba enemy UJa picked up without htsltetion and with consum mate courage. Judge Perksr has neither trimmed nor dodged nor faul ted nor d claimed nor gone into an seat soy of ael-commendatlon nor fallen In a fit over the Id: 0.7 or Venal- tty of otbanr. C nvlnocd of the Intel* Ugenoe end integrity of his fellow olti tans, be has coutented blmaelf with directing their attention to tba abuses that are being committed in their name, to the dangers that threaten their iaaltutiOns and themselves, con fident that they will have the wisdom to decide wisely, and the disposition to aet courageously, and tba ability to obtate whatever relief la neonsaiy. The latter la Indeed Just such a politi cal A oument as Judge Parker might hare bean etpeoted to write. Ills conservative In word and Juilcious In spirit. To imperialism, the tariff, the trusts, reciprocity, the Philippine, question, the Pannama problem, pen- alone and to reform in our govern mental expeaditurea, Judge Parker devotes much of the space at hla dis posal: Bills ring that ‘'the national QOftrnment baa become centralized beyond any point contemplated or imagined by the founders of the Con stitution,” Judge Parker declare* in subtanoe that the people have to deddt whether they will be governed by law or ruled by the caprices of an executive tyrant. "Tariff reform la one of the cardi nal principles of Democratic faith,” be reya, "and the necessity for it was never greater than at tb« present time.” While considering the trust quretion, he takes occasion to admin- tater a quiet but an effective rebuke to Me opponent. Judge Parker having aoggeeted that there weriTremedlce for the trust abuses both in the statu tory and common law, Mr. Bocaevtlt •ought to ridionle the idea that the common law waa available for any •DCh purpom In tba Federal Courts. Judge Parker calmly replies: ^ "The determination of tbia ques tion wee left by the people, in fram ing the C nst'stutton, to the ju-’IcUry nod not to the executive,” and then ha proceeds to cite the case of the Western Union Telegraph Oo.-v* the Gall Publishing Oo., in which the United States Supreme Court has al ready decided that eommbn law prlu dples c uld Le applied by United States Courts to cams Involving Inter commerce, in the sbeeroe of Legigiatlve power, and therefore un warranted by the ODnetltutton, 1 ac cept the elu^enge and declare that if I will revoke that order.” And then he adds that be wlU favor "an aga pension without to (Usability,” in order that the (Rd soldiers may aooept aid "with dignity * the cocaciouanem that it xvoouAAonre faotois. A* beoauaa of the cornea aa a )uet dqe from tba peop'e through their chosen repreoenUUvee, and not aa largem distributed by the Oirlef Executive.” That is aa prettily an 1 neatly done as the most ardent politician could wish; and withal It bespeaks an bon eaty and courage which will not fail to win the confldenoe and support of intell'gvnt persona, even though they sbould be in receipt of pensions. In conclusion Judge Parker declares that the ta»u a are olearlv Joined and tbe people must render a verdict. There are, be aays: "Shall economy of administration be demanded or ■ball extravagance ba encouraged? Shall tbe wrong doer be brought to bay by tbe people, or muat ju-tioe wait upon polltioal oligarchy? Shall our Government stand for tqual op portunity or for spto'al prlvil g ? Sba’l it remain a G »verement Of law or bacome one of iodlvldlial caprice? Shall we ding to the rule of tbe peo ple, or aba)l we embrace-beolfloent despotism.” If sleeted Preddeot, he declares, be shall consider himself "the Chief Magistrate of all the peo ple and not of any faction, and shall filfr be mindful of tbe fact that on many questions of national policy there are honest dlfferanoei of opin loo. I believe In the patriotism, good sense and absolute sincerity of all tbe people.” Contrast there utterances with the bitter pertisapism displayed In every sentence of President Roosevelt's let ter of acceptance and you have estab lished a ^deadly parallel between the character, purposes and methods of tbe two candidates which should draw to Judge Parker’s support all men who believe la freedom of thought, whoerek to see preserved Individual liberty, and who desire the f erpetus- tion 0* our BepubUcau I natations.

Whiteman accomplished his escape in a most dar log manner, lumping from the Lake Shore fast mail train near Dunkirk. Whiteman and the two officers were 4s a state room on a Pullman car. Whiteman was lying on a sofa. The train was pulling out of the Dunkirk yards sad was running at about 30 miles an. hour. Whiteman left his seat and lumped bead first through tbe car window.

A dispatch from Wublngtoo to the Obarleeton Post says hope is , very high In the Democratic camp. If tbera has ever been a time when Dem ocrats have been Inclined to get to gether with a mighty pull to capture both tbe Praetdeocy and the Houre ; of B?prreentativce it is tbe prewnt. There have been periods of deep de spondency on the part of many of tbe leading Democrats, but now generally they are looking for success and feal- log that the hand of fate Is with them. The cause of all this feeling of con fi ’enoe Is twofold. One relates to the harmonious condition In which tbe Democratic party finds Itself In tbe State of New York, and tbe other lo the general satisfaction of tbe party with the letter of aooeptanoe of Judge Parker. Hope ^In New York means hope over the entire country, and to have the party evary where looking to ward Judge Parker as a man worthy to be the leader Is regarded by Demo crats as an indication of s campaign of enthusiasm and success. v Very general 1/ politicians have bean laying that Judge Parker was never so strong as at tbe time of his nomination. Democrats In repeating this statement have Inferentlally ad mitted that thalr candidates lost strength avar since the adjournment Of the convention. Until recently many of them believed it. They felt that their hopes of a candidate who would call out strong support all over the country among Democrats and in- dependentsjvere fading away. When the Democracy of New York State waa embroiled In bitter fac tonal to prior to and daring tbe first days of the Saratoga convention they were still more discouraged, because If Naw York was to ba lost through party dissections they could hope for nothing from the country at large. They & cognized the fact that with out New York they could do nothing, whi:t tbe Bspublicans bad a fighting chance, even though they sbould lore that State. New York, tbe key to the situation, seemed to be fadiog from the Hat of possible Democratic States. , Bat with tbe healing of all tbe sores of discontent and with the spirit of conciliation that Inspired tbe Democratic bo—re at Saratoga tbe Democrats have gained new hope. The eff ct of this hope in respect to New York Staten reflected all over the country. While factional fights were threatening to sap the vitality of the Democracy in New York State the Democrats lo Indiana, West Vir ginia, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Bland and of other States of the West felt that there would be little use for them to carry those States ex cept for tba State tickets. They feel that they could not win without New York, and„tbeir hope for New York pa? verj^slight. But with the har monious conditions that have been breegbteboufrto New York has come a revival of Interest in tbe campaign on the part of Democratic leaders all over the country that has astonished the men who are managing tbe na tional campaign. Many Democrats feel that success for the party is almost S lure thiog. They believe that the only require ment for carrying the election it ut get out their vote and to bring out tbe independent vote that they regard re quite surely to be for Parker. Tbere have been many evidences in the laat few days to the effect that lu all tbe | doubtful States Democrats have been ■0 encouraged by tbe outlook In New York that they are putting forth un usual efforts to carry tbelr own Statee. Another cause for Democratic ac Uvlty is tbe enc uragement many of them have had in the fact that Judge Parker blmaelf is regarded aa entith d 0 the credit for bringing about bar many within tbe Democracy in New York. Confidence iu tbe p littcal sagacity and the general ability as a leader of Judge Parker Is greater to day among Democrats than evtr be fore. They look upon him aa capable of leading tbe party to victory. They believe he will do it, and they are showing their own lntera»t in many ways. ' Judga Parker's letter of acceptance is also regarded re a strong document universally among Democrats. Some of them at first feared that be had oaade a political mistake In bringing forward the pension issue in tbe way be did, but after consideration they have oendud d that be was entirely right on that question, not only, as a matter of law, but tire re a matter of political policy. They claim that the membera of the Grand Aarmy of the Republic would vastly ‘ 2. tion to an executive order giving them an old age pension. They believe the Grand Army will very largely support tba petition taken by J udge Parker on this important matter. ^ • y It Is understood that the national committal In New York, which has ififgtif bfitirawAgaAtn out the factional contentions In that State, now that they expect to BfiteU to Ip J are Parker la Utoter Cowaty Completely Destroyed. The campaign liar is abroad. He began bis work In Judge Parker’s borne district by clyou’aticg a lie through Ulster County. It purport ed tobe a statement aside by Judge Parker aa to tba wags an unskilled laborer waa entitled tor a day's work. But the falsehood waa Boon dlasipxted.

A Horrible Crime. Lying In a briar patch beside the railroad track, gagged and with bar arms and limbs securely lashed with •traps wh'eh all but cut through tbe tender Skin, Clara Tippen, a little nine-year old negro girl, who lives at 23 1-2 Wallace street, was accidently discovered by an unknown .person walking along the track In the rear of the girl’s home Thursday morning. Almost lifeless from exhaustion and fright the girl muld hardly speak when first released. Her story when finally told in broken sentences was unspeakably horrible. Overtaken by a negro man she was beaten Into aub mlSbl.n, outraged and than tied to I be track by the fiend wbo evidently tbopitht that the oncoming train would bide the siugf of his awfu crime.
