WESTERN NAMES
For Presidential Nomination Are Very Few

For Presidential Nomination Are Very Few.
 Washington Special to New York Herald. It Is pointed out that the Democratic party IS not only looking to the East to carry the election for the Democracy, but | 1t is also looking to the East to supply the candidate for President.
 Few Western men appear on any list | or Democratic Presidential possibilities. It | Is believed that MT. Bryan himself will be disclosed as a candidate when the delegates come to be selected but the nomination of MT. Bryan Is believed to
 be out of the question. Aside from MT.
 Bryan the Western list consists of Mayor Carter H. Harrison of Chicago, Senators Stone and Cockrell of Missouri, Senator Blackburn. of Kentucky, and Senator. Bail mated by the last Ohio election and John K. Mclean will be in the saddle in the Buckeye State.
 Turning to the Eastern list, it Is very Iormldahie. The men most in the public eye at this time are Judge Alton B. Par ker of New York and Senator A P. Cor man of Maryland. Judge Parker has had attention directed to him because very states believe he can carry the Empire state. Senator German is still enjoying boom of considerable proportions be- cause he is the leader of his party fin the Senate and has. to a great extent. the confidence of the financiers of New York
 After Judge Parker and Senator Cor man come former Sec etary of State Ol- ney. of Massachusetts, United States Cir cult Court Judge George Gray of Dela- ware. David B. Hill and the young Mayor Of New York city. Of course. former President Grover Cleveland will not be lost sight of until the convention has named a candidate for President. MT. Cleveland is entitled to De taken at his word in his statement that he could not conceive of any circumstances under Wnich ne would accept nomination, but the belief of many Democrats now in Washington is that Mir. Cleveland must not De eliminated, and these men think q condition might easily arise which would carry the convention for Mir Cleveland in a stampede.
 The Mcclellan boom has not devaIoned into formidable proportions and Tammany men have not been talking if until the patronage is disposed of As for MT
 till. it is not believed that he will be- come factor, but as a discerning party man put 1t today, So long as the brea tb of life is In Hills body just so long will he be a candidate for the Presidential nomi- nation. He may not make headway now. and he may not try to hamstring Judge Parker, as he did at the State Convene tion of 1902, but he cannot get the Presi- dentiaI virus out of his blood" Hill. however, is not regarded as q factor this time.
 It will be seen that it.is toward Eastern men that the Democrats are looking, and 1t Is to an Eastern convention that they are looking also. They believe as stated In The Herald so often recently. that the holding of the convention in New York would make the entire group of States in- eluding New York. Connecticut New ter sey. Delaware and Maryland Democratic with a good chance of carrying Rhode Island.
 It is safe to assume that practically all Of the States in the East and on the Al fantlc Seaboard will vote to give the Com vention to New York
