i Washington Letter,
(Special correspondence of THE
' NEws )
Washington, . €., Deci 2z 1903
| The democrats here in Wash
lington who are the leaders of the
‘party have been indulging in a
"good deal of discussion and speen
: lation as to presidential candidates
lately. It is a favorite theme of
!conversation whenever politicians
|do congregate. Apropos of this
'subject the information given me
'the other day by one of the lead
'ing democrats of New York State
;may prove of intensc interest to
| the democrats of the country and
‘muy guide them right in making
iup their choice of a candidate. 1
lasked him the straight question a
;l bout Judge Parker and his strength
lin the State of New York, inas
lmuch as the Parker boom seems
(to have been on a new lease of life
Isince the withdrawal of Grover
|Cleveland. He answered me un
ihcsimtingly that there was much
| misinformation concerning judge
11’arker and his strength in New
[ York. He said that Judge Parker
linstcad of being a strong man real
[ly was a weak man,
] “All that the people know a-
Ibout him is that he was clected
I‘Chief Judge of the New York
| Court of Appeals by about 60,000
:majnrity in 1887, but they do no?.!
Ekno\v how that result was bruught%
{about,” said he. “The truth of
gthe matter,” he continued, and to{
| quote him almost literally, ¢'is that
[hc is the result of a fluke clection, |
|and that under normal conditions
ihe would have been defeated fmm‘
i 10,000 t 0 50,000 Majority.
*‘Any man can take the official
Fe]cction returns of the State of
iNew York for the year 1897 and
| figure out the result for himself.
{lt will be'remembered that there
‘wcre three tickets for Mayor of
|the city of Greater New York in
;that year. The democratic, or
;Tammany ticket, was headed by
| Robert Van Wyck, the republican
’ticket by B. F. Tracy, Platt’s can:
|didate, and the Citizens’ Union
lticket by Seth Low, the prcsentl
| Mavor. |
~ “The democratic candidate for
Chief Judge of the Court of Ap
peals was Parker and the republi
can candidate was Wallace, a very
unpopular candidate, because he
had been forced on the ticket by
Platt, On the Citizens' Union
ticket there was no candidate for
Chief Judge of the Court of Ap
peals, and on that very circum
stance hangs the election of Judge
Parker, The Citizens’ Union
ticket got nearly 150,000 votes in
Greater New York, and of this
number of votes about three:
fourths of them were republican
on account of the unpopularity of
Tracy, Platt’s candidate for May
or, and the other one-fourth were
democratic votes, Very few of
these voters were sufficiently in
terested in the election of either
Judge Parker or Wallace to mark
a vote for them outside of their
own column, o it will be seen that
nearly the whole of the 150,000
votes were practically thrown so
far as the election of Chief Judge
was concerned. If the three
fourths of that vote thus thrown
away had been cast for the repub
lican candidate for Chief Judge of
the Court of Appeals and the oth
‘er one-fourth had been cast for
‘the democratic candidate, the
.democratic candidate would have
had only about 65,000 majority in
the city of Greater New York, in
stead of the 137,000 majority that
he did get. Inasmuch as the re
publican candidate Wallace beat
Judge Parker up the State, which
always is republican; by about
76,000, it will be seen that Judge
Parker would have been defeated
f. r election by over 10,000 majori
tv. Indeed, by a greater majori
ty than that if the republican can
didate had not been very unpopu
lar. The people did not like him
because Tom Platt had forced him
in on the ticket to pay a debt.
Wallace had a few years before
made Tom Platt receiver of a New
Englaud railroad when the former
‘was a Judge of the United States
District Court. That gave Platt
‘the opportunity to make a few

hundred thousand dollars for do
ing nothing, and he in return for
the favor forced the nomination
of Wallace for Chief Judge os the
State Court of Appeals. A more
popular man would have polled
the fullstrength of the republican
party upin the State and would
have defeated Judge Parker, by
adding the repablican vote in the
city thrown away, by over. §oo,ooo
majority. The State election in
the following year of 1898 for
Governor when Roosevelt was the
republican candidate and Judge
Van Wyck was the democratic,
further showed the weakness of
Parker in a race before the voters:
Judge Van Wyck polled 75.000
more votes up the State in the re
publican section of the State than
had Judge Parker the year be
fore.”
“*These are the absolute facts 1n
this matter,” said this democertic
leader in the State of New York,
‘‘and the people ought to knou.
them. If the people want a New
York man we have much stronger
men than Judge Parker, who, a
side from his weakness at the
polls above demonstrated, is the
creature of David B. Hill, and is
Las acceptable to the trusts and the
Wall Street gang as is Grover
Cleveland himself, and it is from
that source that the Parker boom
receives strength enough to walk,
Personally 1T entertain the opinion

New York, and will make a great
