It was an interesting though small
aimit-ncv that gathered around Judge
Paikrr last night to hear him express
his low and loyalty for and confidence

every word and every move that his
heart heats sympathetically for the

Personally, Judge Parker is a most
r.fr'ahle gentleman. He struck the writer
ns a splendid "Mixer." He greets every
one with that cordiality that marks the
educated, polished, gentleman of the
North. There is hone of that assumed
dignity that is so difficult to make ap
Ktr real and so easily detected. In a
word, he is a splendid gentleman, an
aoie jurist and a most lovable man.'
Last niffht as the once leader of the
Democratic forces stood conversing
with the two governors of the Caro
lina?, he seemed to be thoroughly at
. home. There was nothing to indicate
that he was a stranger among strangers.
Ent rather that he was a man among
men of his kind.
Judge Parker arrived from Camden,
S. C. last night at 7 o'clock. With
Messrs. J. L. Chambers, D. A. Tomp
kins, s. S. McXinch and J. P. Cald
well, he went immediately to the Manu
facturers' Club, where he had dinner
with the above named gentlemen.
After the meal, Judge Parker was!
the center of attraction in the parlors i
"i tne dun. There it was that he was
f'.rniaily introduced to the gathering
and the '-e it was that he made his
speech of the evening.
lust before Judge Parker delivered
his speech, a committee headed by Mr.
R. Robertson, asked to speak with
ihe distinguished New Yorker and the
two governors of the Carolinas. Mr.
Robertson explained that Charlotte in
tends celebrating the 20th of May, 1906,
on a large scale and that the com
mittee which he represented, wished to
extend an invitation to all three to be
present.
Judge Parker was the first to reply.
He said that he could not say definitely
hut that he would love to be present.
Governor Heyward said that if .pos
sible he would be present on that oc
casion. Governor Glenn replied "I will be
hfre unless Winston takes my place."
It then fell to Mr. D. A. Tompkins'
lot to call the gathering to order,
which he did in a few well chosen
words. He said that some of Judge
Parker's friends in politics had asked
him to stop over and say something
as to the Democracy of the country,
'hen it was that Mr. Tompkins asked
Uayov .McXinch to formally introduce
him to the gathering which he did in a
brief, though pointed speech.
Judire Parker expressed his. delight
p being present after which he said he
had prepared a short speech for the
occasion which follows: , .i

During all its history, the Democratic

opposed its logical outcome, the granting-of
special privileges in the levy
of taxes, and has insisted upon econ

While this conscientious devotion
to an idea has commended itself to the
Democrats of the whole country and
nas tnus made and kept the partv

REMEMBERED ST. PATRICK.
Col. Jim Steele Appears in Regulation
Garb to Uphold Erin's Fame.
Strangers didn't know it, but it was
Col. Jim Steele of Charlotte who
strolled across Independence square
this afternoon at two o'clock with a
silk hat on his head, tilted slightly to
one side, and "a wearin' o' the green."
Col. Steele's patriotism is of" the
Droatt sort and embraces America, and
Ireland and other countries.- His
heart is too big to stop with one coun
try and so he takes in several.
Besides the hat and the little ha dire
of green Col. Steele wore such a smile
as can only be put on by a true son
of Erin on St. Patrick's day.
Nobody stopped to ask whether Col.
Steele traces his ancestry to the Irish
or not and Col. Steele himself didn't
seem to care much about it, just so
that badge of green was conspicuous
enough to he seen. ' '
And the Colonel was warmly receiv
ed as he walked proudly down the
street with his Irish "Make-up," which
was perfect and a credit to the nation.
