As the Mcrning News says,
there was no fault found With
Judge Parker as a man or a can
didate, and the things he stood
for, namely, economy in the ad
ministration of tile government,
opposition to imperialism, to 1
(trusts and to tiie high protec
tive tariff system, were strongly j
and clearly presented. There
is no doubt the people under
stood them, and there is reason
to think the majority wgard
them with favor, but they were
not affected by them sufficient
lv to induce them to risk a
change in the political complex
ion of the government while
the country was prosperous.
Belaw we give the clectorial
votes received by both the De
mocratic and Republican can
didates:
