PAQh TWO. THE MORNING ASTORIAN, SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1904. FRIENDS PAY TRIBUTE TO THE NEW YORK CANDIDATE Senator CarmacK of Tennessee and Mr Wright of Georgia Second Nomina- tion of Judge Alton B. Parker St Imls, July 8. Senator Carmack of Tennessee seconded the nomination f Judge Parker. He commenced his BDeech at 10 o'clock and was fre quently interrupted with cries of -nn" Mpnellan!" "Hearst!" So Krat was the demonstration that at times It was impossible to hear the speaker. Senator Carmack said: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the inn: I SDeak for the state which hc'.ds In her bosom the ashes of "Old Hickory," and among whose people his Bplrit is abroad. In few words and simple fashion I shall discharge the duty imposed upon me by my delegation and by the unan imous voice of the democracy of Ten nessee. ' One of the largest and most repre sentative state conventions that ever assembled, with unparalleled enthusi asm and without one dissenting vote, Instructed us to cast the vote of Ten nessee for that profound Jurist, that unfaltering democrat, that stainless gentleman, Alton B. Parker of New York. This was not done in haste, but upon mature deliberation in which the character and Qualities of every possible nominee were carefully weighed in the balance. Nor did we fall to consider all the criticisms and acusations that have been made against him. with the result that in our Judg ment the character of our candidate stands out clean and clear, unspotted by the reckless defamation that has raged around it I should not longer detain this con vention but that some of these t crit icisms seem to deem a passing no tice. The fact that Judge Parker is being supported by men who are bless ed with a larger amount of this world's goods than most of us have been able to assemble, it is strangely urged as an objection to his nomination. Sir, I deny that the democratic party is the party for the poor man. It is the party for every rich man who respects the rights of the poor and it is the party of every poor man who wants to be rich. It is the party of every man who loves the dollar he has hon estly earned and the security of his Dberty and it is also the party of ev ery man who loves the dollar he has honestly earned and the security of the property that is rightfully his. No man to barred from its council because :' he is poor and no man is barred be ' eause he is rich. I believe it was a democratic convention, of which it was written, ?'the rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is the maker of them alL" The charge has been recklessly made that influences of Wall street are be hind the candidacy of this upright and incorruptible Judge. The charge is based upon no scintilla of evidence, or upon such evidence only as no adult understanding ever before stooped to consider. I can tell the author of that accusation that the power of wall street has in a feeble way been felt in this convention, and that it has been striving as earnestly as he to defeat the nomination of quite another candi date. I can tell him further that its one and only hope of success has been based upon the attitude of himself and his followers in this convention. I can tell him further that the movement re ferred to would never have been vis ible or audible here if Wall street and the distinguished gentleman from Ne braska were not dissatisfied with Judge Parker, the nominee of the democratic party. Another objection is that Mr. Parker has not taken upon himself the office of this convention ta declare the will and purpose of the democratic party. 1 Mr. Chairman, I trust it will be long before the democratic party will re peat the spectacle presented by its ad versaries of a great convention assem bled merely to record one man's opin ion, and to execute one man's wllL Sir, this convention has assembled not to receive but to give instructions to its nominee. It may be, sir, that our candidate Is not as voluble and vocifer ous as some would have him be; but I have yet to learn that laryngeal activ ity is the supreme test of statesman ship. I have yet to learn that the width of a man's mouth is commen surate with the breadth of his under standing, or that the length of his tongue measures the depth of his wis dom. When the Almighty wanted a leader to conduct the children of Israel out of the house of bondage, Moses ob jected to his own selection on the ground that he lacked the gift of) friends the frost seemed to fall in the ready eloquence and he suggested his brother Aaron as a fit leader of the people. Aaron did not have much Judg ment but he could talk. But the Al mighty preferred the silent wisdom of the great lawyer to th voluble unwis dom of the great orator to lead the party in that campaign. And he did not forget Aaron, either. He found place for him. And, Mr. Chairman, while the democratic party prefers its Moses in this campaign, it wants the help of its Aaron too. Mr. Chairman, we enter this cam paign under such conditions as never before confronted the American peo pie. Never before has the personal character of the candidate been so inv portant to the country as this cam paign. The republican party, that was once proud to be called the party of Lincoln, has become a helpless slave to every caprice of one Irresponsible man. It has been subdued to the law less will of one man who bestrides it like a colossus, while its petty leaders in congress creep between his huge legs to find themselves dishonorable graves. "When could they say till now that talked-of Borne that her wide walls encompassed but one man?" The will of this one man is not directed by wis dom and patriotism, but it la charac tetised by an impatience of all legal and constitutional restraints, desire to thrust his own militant figure into the foreground of every picture, by a mor bid craving for sensationalism and ex citement The course of the present adminls' tration has Justly alarmed all con servatlve citizens, who feel that the peace as well as the prosperity of the country demand the defeat of the present occupant of the White House. The democracy of Tennessee has de clared that in this crisis the party should present a candidate of judi cial temper; one Imbued with a deep reverence for the constitution; with a respect for law, with a Just regard for established precedents and traditions, with a sane conception of the duties and responsibilities of public office, a candidate, in short, whose whole life and character will be in vivid con trast with the recklessness, the law lessness, the epileptic and convulsive strenuosity of this administration. We believe we have such a man in the dis tinguished Jurist from New York. The fact that he has always supported the nominee of his party shows his fidel ity to the party organization. The fact that he was elected by a majority of 60,000 as a member of the highest court in New York shows bis ability. His action In cases where the rights of labor and the unlawful com bination were involved show that he has never bowed to the power of wealth. The fact that throughout a long official career he has remained poor shows that he has never been touched for greed of gain. His po litical enemies testify to the purity of his life and the Incorruptible in tegrity of his character. Choose this man for your leader and the plans of democracy will throng to his standard filled with the hope and the inspiration of victory, assured that the party which follows his stainless banner will never know dishonor and never taste defeat. Gentlemen of the convention, in the name of the Andrew Jackson democ racy of Tennessee, I second the nom ination of Alton B. Parker of New York. Wright's Seconding Speech. Wright of Georgia, seconding the nomination of Judge Parker on behalf of the Empire state of the south, said: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention: It was claimed in a re cent national convention that Georgia blood coursed in the veins of the nom inee of the republican party. This may be true, but with Georgians democracy is thicker than blood. We bring to you today the message that from among the old red hills of Georgia there will come later tidings of democratic vic tory for 1904 surpassing all the glor ious achievements of the past In striking contrast with the solemn occasion, when our republican friends met and "stood pat" is the genuine en thusiasm of this great gathering. The spirit which gives birth to this enthusiasm is the spirit of victory. The smiles of contentment which we wear today are in contemplation of the po litical harvest which we expect to reap In the fall.

AT CHICAGO the time for Alton B. Parker of New York. This instructed Georgia dele gate was the beginning of the tidal wave which has swept the states and insures today the nomination of the great New Yorker. Georgia is glad today to second the nomination of one whose strength of character and simplicity of life has endeared him to the American peo ple. A learned Jurist who glories in the recreation of his rural home, where on bis farm he finds delight in hon est pursuits followed by the great mass of the American people; a man whose name haa becomo the synonym of vie tory; one whom the people have tried and approved; whose honesty, ability and statesmanship have stood the test and who. seems to meet the emergency of the hour to fill all the requirements of an ideal leader of a great party. No man can doubt that the vast ma jority of the people wli turn from the restlessness and uncertainty of the present administration toward Alton B. Parker with a feeling of rest fulness and hope. Let us remember today that we are gathered together to carry out the will of the ptople; that their voice is sov ereign; that they are the final tribunal What Is the will of the people T Cer tainly if the delegates ever knew the man whom the rank and file of the democratic party wanted them to nom inate, they know today. No organized movement was ever behind the candi dacy of Judge Parker. The people, having learned of him, trusted him and felt an unbounded confidence in him. Across the continent from the woods of Maine to the peach-covered hills of Georgia, where the ripening elbertas are being kissed into golden color by the sunlight, there is a trusting confi dence of a people confidently awaiting the tidings of Judge Parker's nomina tion. Let us meet in a spirit of fra ternity and carry out the will of the people. The Empire state of the south, Mr. Chairman, seconds the nomination of the favorite son of the Empire state of the north and prophecies victory in Novtmber with Alton B. Parker as the standard beared. ern line. For full information, write H. L. Slsler, general agent, No. 132 Third street, Portland, Ore, the 8t East Naming a Bicycle.
