Quay or MorganP

From the New York Times.
Just at present 1t is the overshadowing
senator who appears as the nuisance Of the
hour. 1t behooves the Senate itself to take
some order to circumvent or suppress him.
And this not merely In the public interest,
which seems to be very little thought about
in that august body, nor even In the inter-
est Of the dignity Of the Senate itself, which
also Is much neglected by its members But
it must be intolerable to the Senate that
an object which all the senators but one or
two desire to promote should be defeated by
contemplate minority Of recalcitrants

PARKER OF NEW YORK

 Second Place on Ticket DEMOCRATS COULD UNITE congressmen From Alabama Says Cor man Is We'll Thought of In the

DEMOCRATS COULD UNITE
BY PATTERSON sTEALEY.

Washington, June 20.-"Judge Alton B. Parker of New York and David A. De- Armond of Missouri. That is my next win, in my opinion, beyond peradventure of doubt"
 Such Is the choice of representative Clayton of Alabama. MT. Clayton thinks that the selection of Judge Parker would be particularly fortunate for the dem- ocratic party at the next election be- cause he thinks all democrats could unite upon him. He also is of the opinion that Armond.
 Senator Arthur P. German of Mary land Is well thought of in Alabama" he tinguished services in the senate and said to a correspondent of the Sun to- day. "The people of the state have a lively appreciation of his long and distin- guished services in the senate and par ticularly of his leadership against the force bill of some years ago. They have not forgotten the latter incident. Fur thermore they regard MT. German as a successful and capable leader.
 q believe, however, that the majority of the democrats of the state favor the nomination of Judge Parker. He is re- garded as a strong man. and as far as sentiment has developed he is noticeably the choice. l have heard the point made against Judge Parker that he has had no practical experience in politics. It Is true that he has not figured in national politics, but what of 1t? I think that in that respect he has the advantage of every other man mentioned in connection with the nomination. He has no long rec ord which he might be called upon to explain. Senator German in this respect is unfortunate, for there is talk that he acted in contradiction to the party's prin- ciples upon the subject of the tariff when the Wilson bill was pending in the sen- ate. Such accusations would demand an explanation from him and explanations in politics are always embarrassing

Washington city postoffice, made plain and specified cases of the frauds which were being committed in the postoffice de- partment, but at that time the rascals so dominated the department that no att tention was paid to these charges. Only a month ago when Mir. Tulloch repeated his old charges they were denounced by the ring as a grievance of a discharged employe. To the discredit of Postmaster General Payne himself he spoke of Tul- loch's accusations as "hot air" and 8 grand stand play" and referred to them contemputuousiy. As the investigation and the report of Mir. Bristow has fully brought to light more fraud than Tul- loch charged and completely vindicated that gentleman the only way out for Payne Is by the resignation door. His pos sition of vice-chairman of the republican national committee will give him all the business he can attend to in the next year.
