[Ksopua (Maaatcb In New York Olobw There la a good deal of talk In Ulster county to tb* effect that Judge Parker will not .be able te carry his own district despite bis great personal popularity and tbe natural pride hi* neighbor* feel' In having a prealdentlal candidate among 'them. The Republican leader* are working tooth and nail to roll up a good majority, and In the last week they have been making much um of a story going tbe ryund* about the judge's view* on the subject of wages. In substance It is nQtl^lnc more than that be remarked two years ago that an unskilled laborer was entitled to Si a day and no more. The amount of gossip started by this revival of an offhand contribution to economic discussion In a comer «grocety Store 1* Indicative of rural sentiment. and the precise details with which the story'l* embellished In Its campaign garb show the Importance - attached to It by the bucolic managers of tbe campaign In tbt* part of the world. Here la the form In which tbe story ta given: < “I think that a. dollar * day enough for any man provided that his work la steady. Any man can Um that, and that la all nnakllled labor la worth. I am sorry I have to pay more than that and wouldn't If we had a better supply of labor hereabouts." This statement was mrfde by Judge Parker in Emory Freer'* store on* Saturday morning about two years ago , and made an impruHlon on those that haard It from him directly and on those that heard it from others that has not yet died out The remark waa called forth by a discussion In FTeeFs store. Freer Is the grocaryman. dry goods man and general merchant of tbe village. and his store, which to on the corner of tbe main street, to tbe gathering place for tbe men hereabouts to exchange new*, gossip and poUUcal views. On tbe day In question a crowd uen was than. There wore Emory er, Sam E. MotL who runs tbe butcher shop and livery stable: Lew Booth, the barber; <>rl Wismer. who to now a baggage handler in tbe Wept Shore station In Kingston, and several farmaea trorn the vteMilty who were In tb* village Jor their Saturday trading. The topic was tb* scarcity of labor in tbe township sad tb* high wages that wen —«a unskilled labor cetttng at times as high as *140 a day.

The talk Immediately rose to a high pitch of excitement. Everybody In the store took a hand in It and nope agreed with Judge Parker. Even the farmer*, who In that part of tbe countty are a vary thrifty class, could not accept such a proposition. A dollar and a quarter a day was tbe bottom price for day labor. The judge stayed some time In tbe store, listening to tbe tall; and taking considerable part In It bu. no arguqpento were able to move him from his belief that a dollar was a!, that a day’s labor waa worth, with the further statement that he never paid more than that if be could help 1L which was often tbe case. Mr. Wismer, who was one of those present, says of tbe incident: "I remember It as plainly as Jf tt was yesterday, it was in Frser*s store. Emory Freer was there. Lew Booth, tbe barber, and Butcher Mott. Tboee men,' I remember, were there, and there were other*, fanners. "It made a lot of talk at tb* time, because w* liked and admired Judge Parker. and we were surprised to bear him say such a thing, and a lot of people around Esopus hav# held It up against him. Everybody to remembering It now. Tb* judge to a fine man, but be to way off on that proposition.”

WHY?

* [Written by Walter 3. Ballard.} Why does Democracy rage and Its people Imagine a vain thing [Parker's election)?

Why do tbe Democrats about aloud that Rooaevety was “imperialistic” lu acquiring what tbe people wanted—tbv rights and property off the Panama canal—ta face of tbe fact that tbe Democratic senators who tried to block tbe way were by many southern maa< meetings called off from further op

Why do the Democrats expect tbe tntdllgent voters to cast tbeir ballots Toe a party whoa# platform to a aeries of negations and contradictions from tbe first word to tbe last? Why do tbe Democrats Indulge In such a pipe dream as tbe thought that 4be people of tbe United State* want to put that party out of power wboae policy enabled the country to export IS7KOOO.OOO worth of goods more 1004 fiscal year than to even t£e very beat Democratic year?
