PARKER- SURE TO WIN
The announcement by William
Jennings Bryan at Lincoln Neb
yesterday that he would support
Parker and Davis in I be coming
campaign is the most important
news the Democratic party has had
since the St Louis convention It
means that the groat following of
Mr Bryan in the Middle West and
Wast will suDDort Parker Add to
this the immerse following and in
fluence of Mr Hrarst and you see
what you eet You get a landslide
for Judge Parker that will outdo
theeupport given to Mr Cleveland
in IfeBA or even the vote given to Mr
McKinley in 1896 and 1200 Mr
Bryan was the last clone io the way
of the greatest turn over in political
affiirS in American history and with
hiitt not only out of the way but act
ually wprkiog for the ticket the re
sults of the election in November
ais not hard to precast
Judge Farker starts into the
campaign with 161 Southern voUs
in his vest pocket These are al
ready conceded by the Republican
party Judge Parker comes from
the up countiy of New York aud a
Republican stronghold but he has
been able by dint of his Integrity
tnd popularity to carry that distriot
tvery time be hssoome bofore the
people always running ahead of his
ticket In addition to that he now
has the unqual fled rupport of
Tammany This all menus that he
will btftt Roosevelt in the State of
New York by tlw largest majority
ever giren to 0 PresStlonJial oaudf
date giving him 86 more voles or a
total oJ 187
The Domooratio nominee has an
influence in Republican Pennsylva
nia almost as strong as in New York
and his influence is on the inoreaie
On theoher hand labor in Penn
sylrahia his become and is beooto
ingmorediBsatisfidd with MrRoose
yelt while the vast mooted interests
of that State are notoriously dis
trustful of the President Both la
bor and oapHal in Pennsylvania
have confidence in Judge Parker
and will support him Add to that
the influenoe of Hon Henry G Davis
the- veteran nominee for the Vice
Presidency whbfs linked and inter
linked with Pennsylvania industries
And the result in November must bs
plain West Virginia a Republican
State may as -well be conoeded to
the Demoorata now With the pop
ularity of Judge Parkor in all of
that part of the country and the
fact that Mr Davis iVa life long
citizen of the State and was kept in
the Senate for twelve years or until
business pressure forced him to re
tire is enough to satisfy anyone as
to how WestjVirginia will go New
Jersey is as safe for Judge Parker as
is New York and Connecticut is
even more so
That elects the ticket without go
ing any furthor More than 239 votes
the number necessary in the Elector
al College for an election are found
in the few States mentioned In ad
dition to those aro the New England
States the Middle West and West
In Massachusetts and Rhode Island
Parker has an even break with
Roosevelt with chances decidedly
on the side of the Demoorat In the
Middle West and West the com
bined influence of Mr Hearst Mr
Bryan and Carter Harrison together
with their following will rip up the
Republican foundation from Penn
sylvania to the Pacific Ocean There
is every indication of a complete
metamorphosis of the political
status of every State in that section
with the possible exception of those
in the silver region and Indiana
The prospect should indeed bo
gratifying to the local Democracy
Only by the merest accident can
Judge Parker be defeated and it is
too late for aooiderits Roosevelt is
a doomed man The man who bet
on the streets the other day that the
nominee at St Louis would be elect
ed probably wagered wiser than he
then knew The signs of the times
point not only to the- over whelming
suooess of the Democratic nominee
but they indicate that be will carry
both houses of Congress with him
Then things will b biFFEBtHTt
What difference is there betweei
the case of Representative Haiawbo
tenders his resiguation fn order to
take a judicial position and that of
Representative Vida who didnt
resign but took offico and drew
money from the Treasury t In our
it
opinion we infer the difference to
be that in the Vida case bis wos a
departmental appointment and the
Haia case would be an Executive
appointment But was it right in
the Vida case We never thought
so and didnt think so and still
dont think ap Our Governor Jask
the Jollierfl8onia to make lleah of
one and fowl of another with hard
ly a difference between the dovil
and the deep sea It may be be
cause one is a red herring and
totbor a chili pepper
RESIGNATION IN ORDER
If as reported in last eveninga
Bulletin that Acting Governor At
kinson will in all probability not
acoept the resignation of Represen
tative Haia of Hans Maul a move
he has Undertaken So order that he
might qualify for Ifia position of
Distriot Magistrate of that District
to whioh he baa made application
tb bo appointed in place of Magis
trate J K Hanuna resigned then
we say that he is entirely out of
order la the matter unless wo are
decidedly mistaken in our position
It is inferred that he should address
hie intended resignation of his leg
islative position to the House of
Representatives but how can thai
be done when that body is not In
session In our opinion ha has right
ily sent his resignation tothe proper
authority during the interim when
the House is not sitting whioh re
signation must and shall bo held to
bo in due and proper form and order
The Aoting Governor is olatried
to haveaaidiy As a matter of fact
the Legislature is the highest power
in the Territory and for a member
of that body of publio representa
tives to resign to the Governor
while a compliment to the Governor
is not regular suoh a resignation
should be mado to the Legislature
itself WJe think the Acting Gov
ernor is out as already inferred in
the preceding paragraph of this
article A resignation having been
tendered and we think to the right
ful authority during the interreg
num the same is properly plaood
and should be aooepted To decline
to acceptit is to appear unreasona
ble and entirely wild There
ing in the Urgamo Aot providing for
suoh a contingency and there is
nothing to prevent a legislator from
resigning if -he istired of holding
on to present honors but is willing
to acceptooreted glories- backed up
by the strong endorsement of his
Republican District Club whioh we
are informed he has received
We happen to know that the new
applicant does not oare for the
place but he is being urged by his
friends to take it as the district is
defloient in good and available
material the salary oeiog no incen
tive No one would oare to goand
live there upon10 a month unless
r i
it be only native residents of the
place In our opinion Mr Haia
would bo the best man to appoint
providing the Acting Governor can
see bis sveyelear to overcome the
resignation proposition
TOPICS OF THE DAY
The disaster to the Japanese at
Port Arthur if odrrebtly reported
is something terrible A loss of 28-
000 men to the invading army is
something that the Japanese cannot
endure at ibis stage of the game
without the immediate relief of rein
forcements The loss of the siege
guns at sea two weeks ago was a
serious blow but this last catas
trophe Is even greater It is to be
noted however that the news of
this morning oomes from a Russian
source Mukden
The rally of the Fourth Prseinot
of the Fourth Distriot in Emma
square last evening was satisfactory
in every respect exoept that the
speeches were too long There were
more than a dozen speakers on the
listauda some of them strung their
remarks out to a half hour in length
the meeting lasted entirely too far
into the night The mooting will
however furnish a good lesion to
other preoinots Hereafter it will
bo U order to either roduoe the
number of speakers or limit the
time of remarks
NOTIOK

Warrant 6280 registered for 80
