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.

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-

While being carried from St. Louis
to Buffalo Alonso J. Whiteman
Thursday night eacap d from Deteo
tlve Sergeant Albor Solomon and Wm.
H. Field, amiatant superintendent of
a detective agency there. 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. Soloman and Field
rushed to atop him, but were too late.
They siw Whiteman on tba^gffflffid
re the train whlssed by.
The two officer* demanded that the
conductor stop the train. He refused,
on tbe ground that tbe train waa car
United States malls on a fast
ole. Tba train was stopped at
Silver Greek, however, Just for a mo
ment to allow the detectives to alight
and they returned to Dunkirk 00 an
accommodation train where they com
menced a search for Whiteman.
Whiteman was being brought beck
to Buffalo on a charge of forgery and
grand larceny, the grand jury now
sitting having returned an indictment
again.t him coatelolog those charges.
He is suspected of being Implicated in
(regularities In which tbe Fidelity
Trust company of Buffalo waa tba
victim.

been graduated, went lb Michigan and

the Party Will
Carry New York, aa laeplra-
— tlms to the Party la the
Ooabtrai Utatee.
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

committal In New York, which has

State, now that they expect to

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.
The lie was ruined by elaborate de
tails. Tba embroidery to make it

pus, while several residents of that
place ware discussing tbe rate of
wages that should be paid for uneklll
ed labor, Judge Parker said: "I

Any man can live on that and that
is all unskilled labor is worth. I am
sorry that I have to pay more than

"The only two actions begun by
your* Administration for tbe enforoe-

hat "the creation of a Bureau of

"And what have you done, Mr.

after be had collected all the data

Tbe tariff question la a business prop

mean much to tbe average family in
