' Slowly but aurely the democratic seekers after a leakr tire coming round to the conclusion that the only available .nan in sight is .lodse Alton B. Parker at New York. So many an imations In his favor have been made of late that something In the way of a boom 'for him Is noted nt the cap ital. In fact, he Is .iow easily ahead of all competitors, asserts the Call, and, unless the unexpected happen, the dun ocratlc convention of lW will be one of the quietest on record and the nom ination will be made on the first bal lot The aspirations of Pattia.n, Tom Johnson, David Bennett Hill and Gor man appear to have been crushed by the recynt elections. Olney still has a considerable following, but it is not strongly led and is not likely to have much weight with the convention. Boles is too old. and bosides his recent defeat for congress shows that he could not count upon adding to the strength of the party in Iowa. So a new man is a necessity of the situation, and Parker gets the benefit of the emer gency. Senator Carmack of Tennessee, vfco has been a consistent Bryan man. has declared for Parker, and .the declara tion is taken as significant of a break. In the Bryanite ranks In the south. The senator is quoted as saying: "Judge Parker would be an exemplary leader and one under whom, in my opinion, we could march to victory. New York democrats are frequent and liberal in their eiomlums of him, and certainly no objection to his nomination could be made by Mr. Bryan or any of Mr. Bryan's followers. The money question, in my judgment, is not to cut much of a figure during the next cant, paign." The boom for Parker is not a sud den growth. It is in no sense due to a spontaneous desire on the part of the democratic rafik and file to -have hrm lead them in the coming contest On the contrary, very few o them know anything about him. His! repu tation is purely local, and even in New- York he is known anly as a lawyer of ability, who was elect-d to a judge ship by a plurality of over 60,000 the year after SIcKlnley had a plurality of 268,000. The judge was frequently spok en of as a candidate for governor last fall, but for some rea.-wn the nomina tion did not go to him. It is said on one side that he declined to run, but others assert that David Bennett Hill turned him down. Only those who know the inside of democratic politics In New York can decide that point. The one fact is that Parker did not run, and his availability as a party leader has never been tested. ' The cause of the boom for him is then to be sought elsewhere than among th" ranks of :he democratic masses. In fact, it has been carefully worked up by some of the ablest lead ers of the party. In the south the work fo rhim has been going on for a long time. A considerable number of lnlluentlul democrats have long been dissatisfied with Bryan and the party tendencies which he represents. They have therefore been quite willing to promote the movement for Parker and will doubtless work steadily for liini from this time on. The program of 'he Parker men is to exclude the money question from the platform and make the fight for tariff reform and restriction of trusts. To make such a fight with any p'opirect "of success they need a candidate with a sound and conservative record, but at the same time one who will not alienate the extreme free silver men. Parker has the advantags of a record that Is clean in every way. He Is not only known as an upright man, but he has no political past that .'an be offen sive to either wing of his party. In the meantime a curious report cornea that Bryan and the western men will Join with the New Englanders In support of Olney for the sake of beat ing New York and the south. Richard-1 son of Tennessee recently stated that is Indisputable that Olney Is being boom ed in the west and expressed the opin ion that he might become a formidable candidate. The essential weakness of that movement, however. Is patent from the fact that Mr. Olney has re peatedly declared that he Is not a van didate. So lang as he holds back his followers can hardly hon? to do more than to serve as a brake on the Parker boom. The brake, however, will hard ly be sufficient to stop the movement for the New Yorker.. His friends ere aggressive and as they have apparently a clear field before them they tan hardly fall to win over all the doubt ful elements of the party. Thus at res ent It looks like a sure thing lor the Judge. There has arrived in this city a young woman who comes in quest of a husband, says the Tacoma Ledger. The rc.ion for this Is th.it somebody, under tho impression that he was playing a practical joke, caused to l prir.t-.Hl the information that 500 young men in Ta coma needed wives and were anxious to secure these among respectable work ing girls of the east. If the funny man has any decency In him. he will at least offer to pay the fare of the new arrival back whence she came, and w ill resolve to hire some idiot less maglin to do his joking for him. It would be unfair to the girl in question to asperse her motives, or to blame her for her conduct. The ambition to become the wife of a good man is an honorable ambition. It Is not a particle more to be reprehended then the -,imbi;lon of a man to take a good woman to be his wife. Social ethics and oreeedont suggest that the acquisition of a mari tal partner shall be through the effort of the male. When it is brought about in any oth?r .vay, there does not follow the conclusion that any wrong has been committed. The woman has an abso lute right to seek a husband, and while she may not, as a rule, make a propos al of marriage, she is apt to so conduct herself as to let the man know- in ad vance, if he has ordinary gumption, wh:th;r or not such proposal would be acceptable. The girl in this instance has not, during the process of educa tion, been subjected to conditions that prevail in this country. She has had her own living to make, and h.13 made it through respectable toil. She heard that out here there would be a husband j waiting. In her simplicity she be lieved the statement. It surely is the duty of the community to protect the young W3m.ro, now that she is here. It may be she is Just the sort .if tirl who would be an excellent wife, but the chances are that such overtures as r.re made to her will come from knaves. C. W. Fulton will represent all of Oregon in the United States senate. He is liberal In his views, knows the needs of the people and will conscientiously attend to them. That there Is some opposition to him In Multnomah county Is a'l the more reason he ::hould be elected ' by the representatives of the outside counties. The legislature has a plain" duty before it in this matter, and it Is to be hoped the popular choice for senator will be elected during the condi.g wetk. WHY THEY SUCCEED.
