soon after his arrival. Later in the day Thomas
T. Rush, of the XXIXth District. brought in

Battery Dan Finn. each in charge of delega-
tons.

unitedly:
''Who-Ra-Ra, Who-Ra-Ra, Georgia.
Georgia. Parker
Among the Brooklynites were George H. Lind
say, Colonel James D. Bell. Dennis Winters.
Controller Edward NJ. Grout, ex-Postmaster
Sullivan, James Shevlin, Matthew Dooley. James
Kane and Luke d. Stapeton. Senator McCar-
rem was on hand to greet them. He introduced
the delegates TO John Sharp Williams. and told
them that it was all over but the shouting.
Meanwhile the Tammany men kept coming.
All the elder statesmen were there. The throng
included Tom Grady, James w Gerard, Sam
uei UEtermeyer, ex-Postmaster Charles ".
Dayton. Peter y. Hendricl who was not in the
hotel three minutes before he buttonholed ex-
Governor Pattison of Pennsylvania. and tod
him that Parker would lose New-York; John J.
Brady. Daniel l. Callahan. William Temple En-
met Colonel Asa Bird Gardiner. looking not
much over sixteen; Assemblyman Ellis William
L. Curtis and host Of others. They reported
an uneventfu. journey. with good weather
nearly all the way out
The various district leaders lost no time in
calling at Charles r Murphy's room and paying
their respects. He had no political news. He
told the leaders that the fight would be kept
up, but that Parker seemed 10 be gaming. Muir
ply and several Of his district leaders went
to the Pennsylvania headquarters 70 urge the
delegates TO oppose Parker. The Tammany men
told the Pennsylvania delegates that they would
be wise to get the PattisOn boom on its feet
and do something with it for at least two or
three ballots.
Murphy's work resulted in galvanzing Pat
tison's canvass into life once more. Soon there
4 string of Pennsylvania delegates heading
for Murphy's room. and when they came away
they said that PattisOn's name would be placed
before the convention. EX-SheriR jimmy
OBrien told the Pennsylvania delegates that
Murphy and Mayor Mcclellan. and in fact all
the Tammany men, would like TO see ex-GOv-
ernor PattisOn nominated. He said that Colonel
Guffey held the key TO the situation and urged
the Of the keystone State to join Tammany
to overthrow HilIsT.
Yes. but you haven't any votes In cOnven-
ton" said Colonel r. 3. Simmons. of Scranton.
We'll. we can help out after PattsOn is nom
mated" said Mr.. O'Brien.
Ex-senator Charles A. TOwue, who IS a dark
horse candidate for President, is not enthusi-
asticaIIy opposed to the Parker boom. He Is
likely to receive eight or ten votes on the first
with Hill ard Belmont by going too far with
Murphy. There are rumOTS THAI Bryan and
Hearst are to give TowIe a lot OF votes if there
is any chance of beating Parker.
There is little heard Of either the Cleveland or
the Mcclellan boOms. The Mayors friends are
working quietly in his behalf. but under
big handicap on account OF the State tnStruc-
tons for Parker The Southern delegates are
bitter against the Cleveland proposition, and
work for Cleveland at this stage OF the game
seems directly to benefit Parker.
