The Democratic Conservative Club, with a membership of over 26O well known cit- izens of Montgomery was organized at the Court House last night, upon de- claration of principles in opposition 10 any agitation calculated to arouse the pre1u- dice of the people against the railroad in- terest of the State.
 A large crowd was present at the or ganization meeting in the City Court room. w. B. Davidson was selected as chairman of the meeting, and w. T. Walker was named as secretary Brief but stirring speeches were delivered by W. B. Davidson, Thomas H. Watts. J. c. Conner, O. c. Maner, W. P. German, Jacob Pepperman and Herbert Jones. These gentlemen had no hesitancy in de- precating the style of campaign under taken by Mir. Conner and announcing their hostility to his candidacy. As a railroad man, J. c. Conner, said he saw great danger to the railroad em- ployes of Alabama, if MT. Conner was elected, 'In ''93 we suffered a cut in wages" he said, we don't want another dose of '93. and we are going to fight against it."
 Ringing resolutions declaring the pur- poses of the club were adopted. It was decided to take an active part in the campaign, and Tuesday night was se- Iected as a date for the next meeting of the club.
 The meeting was begun at s:S0 o'clock by W. B. Davidson, calling the crowd to order.
 < He suggested that the business of the svening should begin with the election of chairman.
 Jacob Pepperman nominated W. B. Da- vidson for permanent chairman. The domination was unanimously made. J. I. Walker was by like vote chosen for secretary. Chairman Davidson stated the object of the meeting. At the time the eall for the meeting was circulated he made enquiries as to it's purposes. He vas informed as other gentlemen were informed that neither the meeting nor he club movement was in the interest # any one candidate. The supporters of
 III candidates, except those of MT. Co., ner were invited to participate in the Organization of the club.

 Why does not New York speak? Where does New York stand? Only by the as- certained will of the majority. voiced in the State Convention, can these questions be answered. The demand that New York speak is just and reasonable. Fac tionally this State is indispensable Co Democratic success. The other States. very largely, are waiting to know what the Democrats of this State want; whetk- CT New York will or will not present a candidate for the Presidency. If N1w York has a man whose nomination in the opinion of the majority means assured victory. 1t is New York's duty to speak out his name and present him as hsr choice for President. If New York has no candidate 1t is equally her duty to make that fact apparent and stand aside while other States decide the candidacy. In either event New York shomld annaE.

 Herbert Jones said that for fourteen years he had been engaged in shipping on railroads in various States. He had never heard the manager of any out of the State mercantile or manufacturing concern, abusing the railroads of Ala bama. In his opinion the railroads of Alabama were equal to those of any State and far superior to the railroads Of the average Southern State. He des- cribed the great work of development done by the railroads in Alabama and Florida.

 A number of those present came for ward and signed the list of the clubs membership.

Parker,s Views Given Out.

Washington, D. c., May 6.-Elliott
Danforth, an intimate friend of Judge
Parker, today made what is alleged to
be an authoritative statement of
Parker's opinions on public questions.
He favors reducing the customs wher-
eve they shelter trusts and enable
lawless capital in %wringing extortion-
ate profits from consumers. Duties
should be reduced whenever American
manufacturers by it's protection arc
able to charge higher prices at home
than abroad. The solution of the trust
problem will be facilitated by a re-
vision of the tariff. Within state
boundaries the states should regulate
the trusts. Federal law should apply
to all violations of the interstate or
Sherman laws.
