jackers, .,.,,
The New Workers, including Mr.. Hill,
Edward Murphy. Jr., Mr. shsehan and Mr..
McCarren, do not fear the name OF any
Democrat here except Cleveland's. Some
Of them say they do not even fear Mr..
Cleveland's name. The men who make
these utterances are capable Of hiding
their real sentiments.
senator McCarren declared boldly:
AN this talk about Cleveland 10 non
sense, the rankest nonsense. He has never
had chance for the nomination In this
convention, Nothing can stop Parkers
nomination"
THE suBTERHANEAN WORK,
While the New Workers favorable to
Judge Parkcr's nomination say that they
do not fear Cleveland, they are certainly
apprehensive that some OF these noble
Democrats from other States are putting
up q job on u.s." They fear a surprise
They do not like the possumlike methods
Of ex-senator Davis Of West Virginia and
they go on to say that German and a lot OF
these other Southern chaps. including David
X. Francis Of Missouri, are pretty sub
terranean also.
Urev Woodson OF Kentucky does not be-
lieve that anything can stop Judge Parker
nomination, and yet Woodson. like Judge
Parker's friends in New York State, Is
apprehensive that something IL going on
which Is to be sprung in the convention
There is this indefnable, intangible. un-
known something which Judge Parkers
managers cannot combat. for the reason
that they cannot face II. They are eager
to grasp is and to struggle with it. Mean
time they content themselves with keep
ing their eyes open, their noses to the grind
stone, their political perceptions on the
alert, as they do not care to be shocked
and humiliated by defeat after all their
abors Of the last year.
1t has been very noticeable all day
though, that the Democrats who are
opposed TO Judge Parker's nomination
have not sought out Judge Parker's man
ayers. Mr. Hill, Edward Murphy. Jr.. Mr..
Sheehan or Mr.. McCarren. For that matter.
the Parker managers would like TO tax with
the anti-Parker people. but up to this hour
they have received no invitation OF any
kind to do 30. =
NO MORE PARKER CLAIMS.
So the Parker managers have had
no announcements to make tonight OF any
increase as to the strength OF their candi-
date. They are no stronger tonight than
AT any time since the official announcement
was made that Judge Parker's sub-cellar
strength is 800 delegates out Of the sa4
chosen to this convention. They do not
believe, however, that the Parker opposi-
tion can consolidate on any candidate
of Judge Parker's calibre. and that is the
foundation of their confidence.
Mr.. Hills sentiments Of the situation con-
cerning Judge Parker's nomination are
In these words:
There is nothing sure in this world
except death and taxes. If the sky rains
larks, We may all have lark pie, and, even
so, If a man can be found who Is more
available, who is better calculated to unite
the party and to achieve the victory than
the choice Of New York. a State indispen-
sable to hope OF Democratic victory,
and who has been indorsed by such States as
Indiana, Connecticut. Alabama, Arkansas,
Georgia, Tennessee and Mississippi-if such
q man can he found, why then, .of course.
Judge Parker will not be nominal II
dreams in daytime become sober facts,
lots OF things may happen
IITTLEToN TO NOMINATE PARKER.
1t is the present purpose Of the Alabama
delegation on the rollcall Of States in the
convention to yield to the State OF New York.
and Martin w. Littleton. President OF the
Borough of Brooklyn, who arrived here TO-
night. has been definitely selected to put
Judge Parker in nomination. Mr.. Little
ton was not selected until he arrived in this
city.
The hope all along has been that Senator
Bailey of Texas would present Judge
Park er's name to the convention. for the
purpose Of firing the Southern heart.
Senator Bailey is a warm friend OF Senator
German, and. like Senator German, he has
decided not to come to this convention.
Mr., Littleton is a son of Texas, with all
the meliifluous tones and style Of the South
ern orator, and his speech is expected to
so arouse the enthusiasm Of the South
erners that no combination. however made
up. will break through the Parker lines.
In the language of the Hon. Gumshoe
Bill of Missouri tonight;
1T is still the field against Parker, and
your uncle Garden Sass Cockrell Still has
show for his life"
