Show THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES. The impression s general that Judge Parker is a scholarly, reserved gentleman who all his life has been done up in the duties of his profession and Is a stranger to the rough and tumble of politics. This is very much of a mistake. He had charge of the Hill campaign and elected Hill Governor of New York twenty years ago. It was for this that Hill as Governor appointed him Judge. In turn Parker entrusted his nomination to Hill in the St Louis convention. When Hill said there that he knew nothing of Judge Parker's sentiments on the financial or other subjects, he was having most strained relations with the truth, for in fact he was there as Parker's agent and under his immediate instructions. Judge Parker is simply a Wall Street candidate; the famous telegram tele-gram was sent in the Wall Street interest. It seems clear too, that the nomination of ex-Senator ex-Senator Davis for Vice-President was likewise pre-arranged. He is a very close friend of Mc-Guffy Mc-Guffy of Pennsylvania and it grows more and mdre clear every day that the trusts, corporations and great national banks of the east determined that if possible this year they would elect a President Presi-dent and Vice-President who would each ba in full sympathy with their determination to dictate dic-tate the financial affairs of this nation. They have no politics. Years ago they formed a league to eschew party politics and to support only such men as seemed best to further their own interests. And the majority of the great newspapers of New York City are but their attorneys. The fight this year is between Wall Street, Its perfect organization or-ganization and money, and the ' unwieldly hosts of the people outside. |
