Mr. Cochran is Confident.

New York, June ll.-W BOurke
Cochran has sent out communication,
dated at indianapolis on July 10, ex-
planning why he declined to address the
national democratic convention at II.
Louis. Mr.. Cochran says he left 81.
Louis at l2:45 Saturday, because as
matters then stood he did not want to
be in the convention when nominations
for vice president we're reached. he
declares that he would likely have been
called on to make speech. ''At the
time" he says, al could not truthfully
assure the convention that Judge Parker
had, in my opinion, the faintest prospect
of success. | could not prophesy vic
tory. and could not foretell defeat. "
Mr.. Cochran tells that when he reached
indianapolis he was handed telegram
from Chas. F. Murphy informing him
of Judge Parker's message. "ln an
instant" Mr.. Cochran asserts, 'the
whole situation was changed. The
prospect which had been black with
signs of disaster at once became splendid
with promises of victory. The sign for
which the party has long been looking is
at last voachsafed to it. BY single
stroke of the pen-by one message not
exceeding three or four lines In
length, petty politicians have become
obscured, and new figure OF surprising
majesty is made conspicuous in our civic
life. We would have been contemplat,
ing the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland
against his OWE desire as our one hope ol
deliverance from the slough OF befate,
suddenly find ourselves exulting In the
leadership of a new aud greater-or al
least a more available-Cleveland, with
less than Cleyeland's years and more
than CleveIand's training; with all o
Cleyelaud's virtues with none oil Cleve'
lands antagonisms.'
Mr.. Cochran says he at once ORDERED
special train and FASTENED back to 81.

the members, if they still desired to hea'
from me. that on the new platform
which he himself had msde, Judge Far
ker would be overwhelmingly elected.

The 0Tnsurgents" Win.

Judge Grinnan of the Chancery Court
in Richmond on Saturday entered a de-
Gee in the case of the State Councii,
Jgr;or Order American Mechanics,
AGAINST the National Council, ID when
tbe State Council is recognized as the
body entitled to the use of the name IN
the State. By this decree James W:
Jackson Council, of this city, is sustained
in the long controversy which has ex'
isted between it and the two other coun-
ellis in this city. Members of the Ma
tionaI Council are known as the '1oyal-
lists" and have a comp aratively small
following in this State. The war has
been waged with relentless fury for
long time. II began at Milwaukee IN
1900, and has been in the courts almoS'
continuously since that time.
The trouble had its origin over the
refusal of the National Council to give
Virginia land other States with bulk
of the membership the representation to
which they deemed themselves entitled,
in accordance with the amount OF the
taxes assessed. Virginia and several
other States thereupon refused to pay
tribute TO the National Council, aud
continued to do business independently
of the National Council. Judge Grin
mans decision was as follows: GIN the
view that l take Of this case, there must
be given to the legislative charter the
potent and far-reaching effect that COM
plainant claims for it, and am of opin-
ion on that ground TO grant the relief
PRAYED for in the bill. The case was
argued by Samuel A. Anderson and
Frank W. Christian for the "insur-
gents" and by Charles V. Meredith,
George w. Crumpecker and John G.
Weckert for the '1Oyalists." The
decree of Judge Grinnan Saturday is
the conclusion of the case, unless
an appeal is taken, which is not
thought likely by members ofthe victorl-
Gus branch of the order. The I'm
surgents," as they are called, have
about four times as many members as
the '1oyalists" in this State and, &C,
cording to claims made, have a good
treasury. while new councils are being
organized weekly, and the order is on

Vice Councillor w. X. Griffith, of this
city. who had been in Richmond in con-
nection with the case, has returned.
The advisory board met Saturday
and decided upon the terms by which
councils adhering o.the National Council
will be allowed to enter the State organi-
cation.
