available man and the one most likely TO poll
the greatest vote I think Tammany is with
him. and quite sure Kings County will be.
we are not borrowing trouble or looking for IL,
put are certainly satisfied with the situation as
II stands at present
There was some talk here to-day in favor Of
nominating Judge Alton B Parker of the Court
OF Appeals, for Governor He carried the State
IN 1897, and il was said he could win II again.
Judge Parker, however, would not make such
& sacrlnce. He is interested in his profession as
a lawyer and not in political matters. He could
probably have been nominated for ViCe-Pres-
ident with William J. Bryan, If he had
Gus persons who desired 70 nominate him
for the place. He also probably could have
mad the Democratic nomination for Governor
in 1898 but he would not countenance any talk
Of that nature He is still less likely the pres
ent year TO accept nomination for Governor
burdened with Bryan electoral ticket.

Committee meets.
Mr.. MACKs OPINION.
Norman E. Mack had the following to say
about Mr.. Mackey's canvass:
For the last year It has been generally IN
dersrood that an upstate candidate would be
nominated for Governor. That has been con-
ceded by Mr.. Croker, Mr. Murphy, AIr. Hill and
the Kings County leaders, Hugh Mclaughlin.
Shevlin. McCarren and others Believing this
Mr. Mackey's friends in the western counties
have been urging his candidacy, and other
western candidate has loomed up till this time
I look up9p Mr.. Mackey's candidacy as very
What about Mr.. Coler's candidacy"
I have nothing to say about Mr. Coler He
has perfect right TO be q candidate but it
seems that The objections 10 a Greater
New-York candidate hold good now; that It
would be better 10 take q candidate from I'D
State, and as we have one as far up the State
as it is possible to go without entering Canada,
we think we have the best candidate possible in
DO you think you Will have the support of the
Greater New-York delegates TO the Democratic
State Convention for Mr.. Mackey?''
7 do not know, but 7 hope so. Some Re
publican newspapers have said that il would
not do 10 take any man as candidate for Gov
ernor supported by Tanuany Hall II that is
so il puts US and il puts Tammany Hall in an
embarrassing position, for II We are to be
governed by Republican newspapers as TO what
We shall do. and II We are not TO take any man
Greater NewYork wants for fear he would be
beaten. and as Greater New-York holds over a
third Of the vote of the State and about one
half Of the Democratic vote Of the State
il is not only oppressive 10 the Western
New-York Democrats but also oppressive
70 the New-York Democracy. l assume the
next thing in order will be some scheme TO pre-
vent Tammany Hall from voting the ticket
unless il be for some man they regard as their
enemy"
Has Mr.. Bryan interfered in this contest
over the GovernOrship?"
He has not. and, far I see, there IS
reason for any interference by him in regard
10 the nomination for Governor. and I do not
believe he is going TO interfere with the affairs
Of this State or any other State. SO far as
can see, there is perfect harmony among the
Democrats Of this State, and no reason, there
fore, for Mr.. Brysns interference with our
