specially noticeable in contrast with appearances
last week, when the United States Hotel was
the Republican headquarters and much more
crowded than 1t is now. That is not the onIv
contrast with last week. The crowds are utterly

crowd is full Of rude countrynen and citv peo-
pie who know not fashionable tailors. There
are plenty of good clothes and diamonds here
now. But walk among the crowds and you will
see few faces which belong anywhere but in
barrooms The men who look like anything

their own selection. it seems as if the delegates
would name Chief Judge Parker on the chance

The sentiment is certainly strong for him.
Coler is on the surface the second favorite. and
many Tammany men have so far accepted his
explanation that he never said anything against
Croker. except in joke. that they are for him.
Others are equally forgiving toward Mr. Cantor

convention for the first time in many years
He is said 10 be in earnest for Coler. and his
visit strengthens the impression of some that
Coler is TO be nominated. Others remark that

veteran Brooklyn boss has to take personal

anything like debasing the judiciary withers 1t
sadly Therefore he is greatly shocked over
the Republican failure to nominate Judge
Gray. and is going to make much of the aWIui
