 Man Pleased.

New York Jan. 4.-(special.) )-Tlis Brooklyn Eagle tonight announces that Gorman is out of the Presidential race; that his influence win be given to the ticket ,f Parker of New York and Shisciv of Indiana. and that he himself wilI prob ably manage the campaign. This ticket IS MT. Germans own selection. The Engie says in part:
 Tn this seat of Senator Arthur ptle Go fman's influence. where plans of that un communicative. even secretiye. leader are often first known. it Is stated today that Parker and Shfveiy is the ticket which the Democratic party win but ii the field for President and Vice. President. The statement does violence to the hopex of Senator Gorman's frinds, who advu4 cate his nomination for President, but its credibility Is established through Cor man sources and by German men In- diana brought the Shively boom for Vice. President eastward to the meeting of tlsa National Committee in Washington on Tuesday It came hot on the trail o& the Parker boom for President boom of no particu.Ir geographical designathen The two were coupled up in the quiet trystinE places of the Shoreham oi4 ffe evening of the 18th. where ex-Represeii- tatiye Shively was stopping with hts friends. National Committeemen Thomas Taggart of Indiana, Urey Woodson o{
  and Joseph T. Tanning of Indianapolis. and where Senator P H. McCarren Of New York was receptIvely stationed td hear and say good words about Judge Parker.
 Senator German has great influanee with the Indiana Democrats who hava joined interests with the Parker Demo- crats of New York Senator German has practically eliminated himself from tho presidential race.
 This statement is made on autt0fIty of his own party followers hailinR from important Western. Southern and Easfefn States. As told by old campaigners anrr man has advanced viewpoints from which to consider national politics. He ulatt- 1884, and was chief advisor of the chalS- man of the National Committee In khs winning campaign of 1S9g He Ia nQw slated to manage the campaign this year
 'Cieveland's strength in New York and New Jersey Is conceded by German but tho Maryland leader does not believe that the ex-President meets the require other States German has, in fact arrayed himself on the side 6f the Democratic leaders who demand a compromise between the radIca7 and conservative branches of the party orr ganization. He advises the Abandonment of the monetary issue conservative atfi- tude toward trusts, and he would have Democracy endeavor to restrain the Pres- ident In foreign affairs. To nt a policy so constructed he believes the Presiden- tial candidate should be Democrat who has gone to no extreme in Cieveiazd- ism or Bryanism. He wants Cleveland votes in the East and Bryan votes in the West. He believes that Judge Par ger : meets these assumed essentials of unlff- cation and that he will be stronger than himself or any other man who might be ! named in New York. Indiana, New ter sey and Connecticut. His theory of the approaching campaign is to meet Repuhli- canism on all the old battlegrounds and { with all the old weapons and to oppose ' Roosevelt. If he is the Republican nonni- nee he believes Democrats should have q candidate who will invite the support of conservative business men.
 These are the reasons that caused Cor man to drop his candidacy today and % make a stand for Parker.
 ''No single Democrat will have so much influence in the National Convention as German. unless that body turns out to be unexpectedly susceptible to influences of Bryan. His strength is inci eased by his self. elimination from the race for tae. Presidency.
 '"The Shively boom for the Vlce-Presi- dency has all the German characteristics
 MT. Germans influence will be exerted impartially to carry New York and ln- diana. The South. it is believed, will be sohdly for Parker
 ''Hr. Shlvely passed through Baltmora today on hIs way to New York. He sad to me 'Of course very much appreci- ate the compliment of the suggestion that has been made. but am entirely indlner- ent to the candidacy itself. The Demo- crats will probably carry nv state TIC Indiana Republican organization IS hos tile to Roosevelt, but it will probably ee- cept him in the absence of safe alterna- tive,"
