BAILEY AND CLARK
BOTH DECLINED 1T
DIDN'T WANT GUARDIANSHIP
BECAUSE THEY DESIRED TO
SPEAK UPON THE FLOOR.

Senator Bailey Was First offered
the ehnirmsnship-He Could Not
Accept Because He Wanted to
Talk About the Platform-Con-
Eressmnn Clark Declined Because
He Expected to Nominate Senator
COckrelI.
st. Louis, July 6.-Senator Joseph w.
Bailey of Texas, and Representative
Champ Clark of Missouri have both
declined to accept the permanent
craftsmanship of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention.
When the Committee on Permanent
Organization met it organized without
delay. Senator Bailey and Representa-
tive Clark were put in nomination and
the former was elected, Is to 16. The
committee then unanimously elected
Charles A. Walsh of Iowa secretary
of the National Committee as perma-
nent secretary of the convention.
All other officers of the temporary
organization were made permanent,
and the committee adjourned under the
impression that its labors were ended.
When Senator Bailey was informed
of his election, he announced at once
that he could not accept, as he de-
sired to be on the floor when the plat
form was under discussion. He is ex-
pected to combat any attempt from
the Bryan forces to inject into the
platform planks that do not meet the
approval of the committee. Therefore,
his declination OF the chairmanship
was respected.
Senator Bailey urged that the chair
manship should be given to Mr.. Clark
and a committee called on Mr.. Clark
and made the tender Mr.. Clark an
swered that he was engaged to put the
name of Senator Cockrell in nomfna-
ton for the presidency, and therefore,
would have TO be on the floor during
the convention. He was urged to re-
consider and finally agreed to send a
telegram to Senator Cockrell to the ef-
feet that the place had been offered him.
II Senator Cockrell makes no obJec-
ton, Mr.. Clark will accept
In view of the certainty that Parker
viii be nominated 1t is believed that
Senator Cockrell will ask that his name
be withdrawn.
Senator Bailey gave out statement
saying he would not accept an election
as permanent chairman over such
friend as Champ Clark.
In the event of Senator Cockrell's
friends insisting on presenting his
name TO the convention 1t is thought
the nominating speech will be made
by some other member Of the Missouri
delegation Mr. Clark would then be
free to accept the craftsmanship.

Failed TO Convince the Judge or
PrOpriety of His Errnnd.
Kingston, N. Y, July 6.-To see
Judge Alton b. Parker at his beauti-
full home, "Rosemont," on the banks
OF the Hudson, a mile east of Esopus
Station, one would little imagine him
personally interested in the outcome
OF the National Convention Of a great
political party which from present in
dications will nominate him for the
presidency of the United States
In white fannels he sat upon the We
randa of his home this afternoon and
chatted with his usual freedom and
cordiality upon any subject save that
OF his own candidacy.
His retirement received its first shock
when at $3.50 o'clock this morning an
enterprising newspaper photographer
found him at his early morning swim.
but the photogra pher failed TO convince
Judge Parker Of the propriety of his
errand and the threatened photograph
was not taken.
II is understood here tonight that,
while Judge Parker has no intention
Of breaking silence until formally no.
tilted of his nomination. he has ex-
pressed to William F. sheehan his de.
sire that in the event Of his nomina-
tion, the notification shall take place
at very early date, even within a
fortnight.

kota, and made applicable to the Por-
to Rican delegation as well.
The District of Columbia contest was
settled by seating the Norris, or anti

TW0-THIRDS MAJORITY
PLAN ADHERED TO.
Proposition for Simple Majority
WINS Defeated.


st. Louis, July 6.-When the Commit
tee on Rules met the Illinois member,
r. p. Morris, proposed that a simple
majority only be required to nominate
candidates. and not a two-thirds ma
jority, as has been the practice since
1882.
I'VE ought not to expose ourselves" /"
said G. f. Milton of Tennessee, Ito the
charge that we desire to nominate
Judge Parker by a device contrary to
the usual course. / am from a state
whose people want Parker, the delega-
ton wants him, and / want him, but
we would in1ure him and ourselves
were we to change the time-honored
rule
On a show of hands the chairman
counted four for the change and twen-
ty-four against The rules of the last
convention were adopted without
change They are adapted from the
rules of the House of Representatives
under the Crisp speakership.
The committee, by a unanimous vote,
decided to recommend to the conven-
tion that the delegates from Porto
Rico be permitted to vote. A proposal
that the same privilege be given to the
delegates from the Philippines was de-
feated, 13 to Is.
The committee applauded the remark
of l.. Irving Handy of Delaware that
Democrats hoped to see the Filipinos
electing their own President, while
Porto Rico was indissolubly bound TO
the United States
DR.. Mary Walker asked the commit
tee to recommend the admission of
women delegates. Col. Grady said
that question was not within the pur-
view of the committee.

T0-DAY'S MAY BE A
VERY SHORT SESSION.

st. Louis, July 6.-On account of
the difficulties which have arisen in
connection with the various mat
ters of a preliminary character
connected with the convention, a
conclusion has been reached to
have only a very brief session of
the convention tomorrow. The
convention will meet at 10 o'clock,
but it is probable that none Of the
more important committees will
be able TO report at that time.
The Committee on Resolutions
surely will not be. and in view OF
Senator Bailey's declination of the
permanent chairmanship it is be-
lieved that the temporary organi-
zation may be continued for a day.
The present prospect is that to-
morrow's sessions will not be Of
more than an hours duration.

st. Louis, July 6.-senator Hin an
nounced to-day that United states Sem
ator Joseph w. Bailey OF Texas has
been agreed upon for permanent chadr-
man OF the convention.
Outside of this announcement there
was little or nothing doing about New
York's quarters, except a vigorous de-
mand by 400 Tammany braves for seats
in the convention, a demand which
National Committeeman Mack could not

appealed to Senator Hill, but the lat

Then Senator Grady accused the Hill

CANDIDATES MAY
BE NAMED TO-DAY.

st. Louis, July 6.-It is said to-
night, and interviews bear it out,
that If the platform and the Gre
dentiaIs committees reports are
not contested at length the con-
vention may proceed tomorrow
to nominate a candidate. 1t is
the general impression tonight
among the Parker people that
there will not be much of a fight.
William +. Sheehan said:
"It is quite possible that we will
proceed to nominate tomorrow
afternoon or night"
Senator Hill said: ''If our work
is cleared up to that point do
not know why we should not go
on and nominate"
Some of the other state leaders
however disagreed with this.

PARKER DID NOT STAY
TO RECEIVE THE NEWS.

Esopus. N. Y, July 6.-Judge Parker
recently declined an offer by tele-
graph company to set up a special wire
to his home to furnish him with news
from the convention at,st. Louis. The
company thereupon arranged to place
an extra operator at Esopus and to-
day a large number OF telegrams was
received for the Judge, presumably to
keep him informed as 10 the develop
ments Of the situation. He did not re-
main At home TO receive them, how
ever, as I've went for a drive along the
Hudson with several friends.

Delegations That Have Wavered I'm
the Balance Have Succumbed to
the Parker Tidal Wave--They Are
Now in the Swim-Tnmmany Still
Holds AIOOf and Makes ImprOb-
able Claims of Opposition.
st. Louis. July 6.-The steady
growth of the Parker strength has con-
tinued unchecked throughout to-day
and tonight.
In the face of the developments in
the convention session the nebulous OPP
position grew more uncertain and to-
night no one can be found to stand
for any definite statement that the
New Yorker will meet with opposition
Of serious character when
the convention is polled for
first place on the ticket. Delega-
tions that have wavered in the bal
ance have succumbed to the Parker
tide with few exceptions, and these
are not expected to withstand the al
most assured results of the vote as it
proceeds. but with change to the
Parker column before the roll can is
finished.
1t was reported late tonight that
final anti-Parker conference had been
called for an unknown place of meet
ing. but the New Workers. managers,
confident that they have the whole
situation thoroughly in hand, were not
disturbed by this conference or its
possible results.
Centers on No One Man.
For second place on the ticket it can
hardly be said that speculation tonight
centers on any one man. half dozen
names are on the tongues of the
crowds that gather in the Hobbies and
various headquarters but the general
sentiment is that this matter should
be. left to ripen until after the head
of the ticket has been formally named

Council Fire Didn't Burn.
Former United States Senator Smith
or New Jersey, who is practically the
head of the delegation, saw william
f. Sheehan tonight and assured him
that New Jersey would join the Parker
column on the first ballot.
The Tammany conference called for

Murphy Mr.. Towne, Senator Grady
and others went out on a visit 1t was
said that Bird S. Coler and a few
others were still working to keep
Parker from getting a two-thirds vote,
but this statement was received with
some incredulity even by the Tammany
rank and file. There is evidence to-
night that the Tanmany people prob
ably will keep very quiet and make no
move either to support by word, as
they must support by vote, the Parker
boom, or declare against it,
Senator Hill was so confident of vic
tory tonight that he was talking over
the second man on the ticket
Senator Smith Of. New Jersey, Is
quoted as saying that he had received a
telegram from Mr. Cleveland declining
positively to have his name presented,
and that Parker was therefore their
second choice. No positive confirmation,
however, was to be had OF the receipt
OF such a message.
