DECLINING IN ADVANCE THE DEMOCRATIC
NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR.
Albany, April SpeciaD.-Thc number of possible
candidates for the Democratic nomination for Gov
is essened by Judge Alton d. Parker OF the
Court OF Appeals, through personal friend declines
the alleged honor The Judge all his life long has been
a prudent and a successful man. lie Is also keen
politician, and doubtless agrees with Charles A. Dana
of The New York Sum-" that since Governor Hill ac
ccptcd the Office of Senator and has continued to hold
two Offices, something als the Democratic party In
this SateS The spring elections showed large gain
Of Republican Supervisors and public opinion has been
steadily swinging into position OF hostility to the
Democratic party in many other respects Moreover,
the extravaganza Of the Democratic Assembly In max
ing appropriations has shocked the taxpayers Of the
State.
Judge Parker, therefore, as a conservative man,
in view Of this bad outlook for the Democratic party
declines David b. HIPS nomination for Governor No
man than he is I'm favor with Governor Hill,
or more likely to receive the nomination for Gov
ernor at his hsnds-unless the nomination is declined
in advance. Mr. Parker managed HIPS canvass in
1885 for Governor. and therefore has always been
considered by Hill astute political manager. Then
the Governor made Mr.. Parker Supreme Court judge,
and subsequently member Of the Court OF Appeals.
If candidate for Governor, Mr.. Parker would be
PEELED early In the fall to resign his office as Judge.
This would be great sacrifice to ask Of him, and
judge Parker is determined that Mr. Hill shall not
have an opportunity to ask him to make It.
The announcement OF Judge Parker's intentions was
made through Thomas f. Benedict Deputy Secretary
State, intimate personal friend Of Judge Parker
Mr. Benedict said to-day: "Thc discussion about Judge
Alton B. Parker as possible candidate for Governor
is without his consent approval. and Is against
his wishes lie neither desires nor intends to be- nor
will he become, candidate for that Office Three
times he has been chosen by the people to judicial
positions the last time without opposition; lie
has never been q candidate for any other Office; his
tastes and training In that direction alone and
he has steadily persisted in his original determnaton

his intimate friends but beyond that speak authorta
