ATTACKS PARKER
Bryan Calls the New York
Platform a CoWardIy
StraddIe.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, June 20.-Cooper Union
was crowded tonight at the anti-Par
ker convention, called by some OF
those who do not concur in the Par
ker instructions given at the New
York State Convention.
William j. Bryan was the principal
speaker and when he appeared on
the platform he was enthusiastically
applauded. Before making his adj
dress he said he would not name his
favorite candidate for President, but
he made a savage attack on the re-
organizers and vigorously opposed
the nomination of Judge Alton b.
Parker, who was held up as the can
didate of the corporations and not OF
the people.
Judge Samuel Seabury, of the city
court, who presided, spoke of Parker
as the candidate OF the Dlutocracy
The platform adopted at the meet
ing opens by condemning the eXpan7
sion policy of the Republican admin.
stration, and continues:
Judge Parker is silent. Senator
Hill speaks for him. We know Sena-
tor Hills record. AS Governor of the
State of New York he blocked the Sc
cret ballot. AS Senator he opposed
his party's position on the tariff and
the income tax"
What Bryan Said.
When Mr.. Bryan arose he was Civ
en- an ovation. He said in part:
81 believe that the National Con-
Vention should not nominate the man
whom your State convention has re-
commended. The great question this
year is not the money question; but
it is whether we are to nave a pln-
tocracy or democracy. My own po-
sition has been and will be that j
shall not attempt to decide upon the
availability of Mr.. Hearst or others.
All Task is that we have a man on
whom there is not the faint of mo-
nopoly.
"Mr. Parker goes before the coun-
try on a cowardly, straddling plat
where does Parker stand on inn
perialism? We don't know
81 object to playing with loaded
dice. We don't know Parker's views;
but / am afraid some men 40. MY
friends don't trust him.
81 charge here that while Parker
has concealed his views from the peo-
pie he has made them known 10 the
men behind him.

The Report Published.
On the morning after the county
convention there was given in this
paper the votes by precincts for
Messrs. Stedman, Glenn, Hoke and
Justice. 1t was stated then that these
returns indicated a fraction less than
.27 votes for Stedman and a fraction
more than IL votes for Glenn, "a Y
votes for Hoke and IL votes for JUS
tice, with 2 " votes not reported
The calculation from which this re-
suit was obtained was as follows:
The votes in each precinct for the
rival candidates were added and the
result made the base of the calcula-
ton. each candidates vote being COM
pared with this, the number of dele
gates from the precinct to the county
convention being divided according tC

Don't Agree oh Governor
and Associate Justice.
WHO'S TO SETTLE 1T?
The Stedman Vote, The Glenn Vote
The Hoke Vote and the Justice
Vote Are Added UP Differ
emily by the Friends OF
Each Candidate.

There is speculation, and still more
speculation on top of this, as to eX-
actly how the vote of Wake county is
to be cast in the Democratic State
Convention for Governor and for AS
sociate Justice of the Supreme court
1t has been a matter of figuring for
the friends of Major Stedman, Cap7
tain Glenn, Judge Hoke and Judge
Justice before the county convention
of Wake and since the county con-
vention. One set figures out cer-
tain result and says it is correct.
Another set comes along and figures
out another result, entirely different,
and says it is correct. The matter
between these opposing forces is a
Babel of confusion.
AS to the Governorship the figures
are apart after this fashion: For
Major Stedman his friends claim that
he is entitled to fraction over q
votes, this giving Glenn a fraction less
than IL votes. The friends of Captain
Glenn say that the proper figures are
1890 for Glenn, with 21.22 for Sted-
man, so for Davidson and .6S for
Turner.
AS between Judges HOke and JUS
tice for the Supreme Court the fig
ures vary from three to seven votes.
1t is claimed for Judge Hoke that he
has 25 out of Wakes 3S votes, while
for Judge Justice the claim is that
he has from 16 to 20 votes.
THE RIVAL CLAIMS.
Interviews were had yesterday with
the different gentlemen representing
the opposing candidates in Wake
county. and the statements from these
are as follows:
For Major Stedman, Messrs.
Armistead Jones and John G. DreWry
state that according to fair calcu-
lation upon the basis of the vote OF
the primaries as reported TO the
county convention, Major Stedman
will certainly have 81 and fraction
votes from Wake county upon the
first ballot in the State Democratic
Convention.
For Captain Glenn, Mr.. John w
Thompson has made a detailed state
ment. the figures of which are attach'
ed. This gives as his calculation
21.22 votes for Stedman and 1880
