WOULD BE RIGHT FIRST AND THEN PRESIDENT. Desoribes How the Democratic Candidate Cast Politicians Adrift and Beat Them at Their Own Game. (RAitorial tn Bening Post to-day.) A real man appeared above the Amer- fean horigon on Sunday, Judge Parker had been represented as @ veiled can- didate; but at an intensely dramatic moment the curtain was dropped and he waa revealed as a figure of heroic pro- portions, Bryan had jeered at him as an interrogation point, but it was an- other sort of point—the very tip of Ithurtel's apear—which plerced Bryantsm to the heart when the Judge wrote his astounding, exhilarating, his con- quering telegram, Such clear and shin- ing courage was never before seen in American politics. In Judge Parker's person the old joke about the men who ing his political tifein his hands, Alton B. Parker put away the Presidency un- less it were offered to him on terms squaring with his own convictions. No wonder the country was thrilled. No wonder that Europe rubbed Its eyes. A man had risen, towering above the puny politicians. Nothing #0 fine {s known to our po litical annals, Yet the act was simply one of straightforward manhood, As Sumner protested that he was a man before he was a Commissioner, #0 Parker was man before he waa a candidate, With no armor but his honest thought, ao skill but simple faith, he quietly acted as an honorable gentleman, Hut what amaze he struck into the hearts of all the professional politicians’ An honest man saying In plain language that he declined a Presidential! nomination al- ready made, unless his convictions and his honor were cl: d—why, incredible’ The telegram must be a forgery, Even the Weatern Union questioned , Nobody at St, Louis would believe tt genuine til! verified, Hill's first cry was, Suppress tt, ‘As well try to suppress Pike's Peak, A man had stood forth, A “mystery” Senator Beveridge had aneeringly called him, (he reai mystery is that the expert politicians are again proved, as they were in Burke's day, not to know their own trade, ‘They plot and burrow and crawl and sneak ind compromise, when along comes an unknown man with a clear gray eye and a square jaw and, by one honest word, shatters their machinations, and leaves them covered with mortification and ridicule, It © bravery'as simple gravitation drawing the whole world again. ‘Judge Parker's calmly herole act burst to startlingly upon the country, was ao id in cogception and so triumphant in execution, and wi ich an overpower- ing revelation of charac! not percelve at first how great a public benefit It wrought, It drove the last nall Into the coffin of free silver, Better than an act of Cougress does It estab- lish the gold standard beyond cavil or dispute. The business world ot Inst emerges from ite long dread, Lat the campaign run ite course; let the tarit and taxation and imperialism be dia- cussed; in no event does the stability of our Ananclal system hang upon the event. Judge Parker hae removed the last doubt, Trv as the Republicans may, they cannot fog that dead issue along the road One couragevua utterance has Instan- taneously and magically changed the whole aspect of the campaign, It trans formed dejection imto the hes} hopes. It is the Republican party that ts thrown into confusion. It sees its guns spiked and ite ammunition hurled into Esopus Creek. The plan of campaign over which it was gloating It already has to abandon, To tglk one word more about Ganger to the gold standard would be to excite deriston, And how about thet other fond charge that Par- ker is “Hill's man?” Who could breathe that after this? Look at Hill, rolled in the dust at St Louis, and ask if that Littputian will ever undertake to bind the mighty thewa of the man who openly discomfited him, Let no Repub- lican orator who does not wish to get himself hooted dare henceforth revive the slander that Judge Parker will be dominated by Hull. A Tt will undoubtedly take some day# for the (Republican) party to realize that the foremost figure in American litics Ie to- residing not at Oyster jay, but at us, N. ¥.
