JUDGE PARKER'S NOMINATION. The Domination of Judge Alton B. Parker of New York, should be acceptable to every sound,"Unprejudiced coutry loving Democrat North, and South. Some are disposed to censure Judge Parker for keeping silent as to his views on the money question Until after he had been nominated. had n> V been urged to declare himself u j this subject, but when he was notified of his nomination, and also had knowledge.of the fact^ tK' the convention in framing and adopt-* Ing a party platform had put no money plank in this platform, and knowing also that a large'.majority of his most ardent friends were the former advocates of a silver plank, he had the honesty, and as the State puts it, the stamina, to telegraph the Convention that he favored a gold standard, and that if this was objectionable, the Convention had better 1 nominate' another man. Not one 1 man in a hundred, would after beiog 1 Dominated as he had been, have 1 risked the chances of losing the nom- 1 Ration by declaring himself in favor # of what he knew to be rather unpop- t U fchan otherwise with his own r the course puynec^ r _ oj ? J/ge IT n?~ more honest and^ manly than that of Mr. Clevelatfd, aa? \ he, Cleveland, sat In New Yorkf'Vdw i had the Convention# telegraph him i every plank in the platform as it was adopted before he would consent to accept the nomination, then after his election he absolutely kicked the silver plank clean out of the platform upon which he had been elected, and joined the gold Democrats and Republicans and allied himself with Wall street. Yet even to this day Mr. Cleveland has many followers North and South who would be willing to exchange Parker for Cleveland. We rather favor a bimetal standard, but if one or the other must be adopted, we favor gold, for the simple reason that such a standard gives to 11? 1 u KidKop Pnmmfir* IIIO UUltfU Otaico u | cial rating in all foreign countries than any other. Already foreign journals are commenting upot^ tjie. wisdom of such a choice. The London Times says, in speaking of Judge Parker's message to the Convention:' ' By a single act of that courage which is so often the result of political wisdom, Parker has individualities in the public life of the United States." The Standard says in speaking of the message, "is a deed which will give Parker a'place in history. Conceivably, it may send him to the White House, but it will certainly make him a force to be reckoned with in American politics for time to come. We, the people of the United States, in choosing a standard bearer, a head, a president, should select one of whom not only we could be justly proud, but one the world would not hesitate to honor and respect as worthy of a nation's choic< and confidence, and wo have no hesi tancy in saying that Judge Parker ii 1 <??- lll-A UAn., tne man, ana witu u, matn imo hdu?; G.

The report that the loss of the cot ton crop on account of flood in th Arkansas river bottoms will aggre gate 100,000 bales, while in all prot ability correct, need not occasion th slightest apprehension. It is a regt lar annual occurrence for the Arkar sas bottoms to become flooded an for its cotton to become more or lef injured. What the sender of thi report should have stated is: ] Arkansas could provide means < preventing her annuol floods, 100,<K additional bales would be produce on her present patches. j THE STATE CAMPAIGN MEETIN( ~ About Two Hundred Citizens Liste to the Candidates?Gov.
