BRYAN CERTAIN
PARKER CAN'T WIN
Says He Is Positive Nomination
viii Not Go to the New York
Man-Ready for His Anti
Everything Speech.

William J. Bryan went to New Hsven
to-day 10 attend to little business in
connection with the Bennett will con-
test, but will be back In plenty OF time
to deliver his anti Parker. anti-Cleve-
land. anti-olney speech at Cooper
Union Tonight. Before he left to-day
Mr.. Bryan reiterated his determination
to have a whole lot to say about the
Parker boom before the convention, ana
to night IL and David Il. Hllls platform
to the finish, at 1t. Louis
Mr.. Bryan was In good humor to-
day and said once more that instruct
ed delegates for Parker to st. Louis
would fnd themselves very much slime
when control OF the deliberations OF the
Democrats of the country in conven-
tion assembled came to be settled.
You see." he said. II believe and
think most men who have reflected on
the situation believe that the delegates
instructed against Judge Parker and
those uninstructed will control things
They will get together. settle on a can
didate and n platform and carry their
programme through. Their candidate
will be n man who will be satisfactory
to all the rank and file of the Demo-
cratic party, and their platform will be
ono that real Democrats can stand on
without being ashamed OF themselves.
No Honors for DisIoyalty.
Judge Parker will not be nominated
and the platform adopted at Albany by
the New York State Democratic Con-
vention will not be adopted. These are
things of which am very certain. Now
am not saying who will ."
but when an individual Ia settled on you
will find that he is man who supported
the candidates in 1895 and 1900 and did II
openly Those who did not and yet now
aspire to be honored with the nomina-
will find an insurmountable barrier In
their past disloyalty.
DO / think sentisent for Grover
Cleveland will develop at ct. Louis?
Assuredly / do not. ! cannot conceive
Of such thing. Why should there be
any such sentiment? l am reason
able man and I do not understand how
such a question can be asked with any
real seriousness.
"Of course am opposed to Mr.. Cleve-
land. l am opposed to Judge Parker
and 10 Mr.. Olney as well About my
opposition to Judge Parker YOU are at
liberty to use the strongest adjective
in your vocabulary in describing that"
No Prepared Address.
Mr.. Bryan was nursing his Cooper
Union speech to-day very carefully.
lie said again that he would speak as
his emotions dictated and that he had
no prepared address. but there is a
suspicion that Mr.. Bryan has burned a
lot OF midnight oil in getting up the
nnti-Pnrker discourse which he IL to
hurl at the Parker r-Sheehan- cCarren-
belmont combination tonight.
I'm not going to talk much about
he said. but / will give
some attention to telling New Workers
why they should oppose the Parker
romina tion. That alone would furnish
me an ample text; but l may say other
things. too. l do not want New York
ers to he blinded by this bogus Parker
enthusiasm. and you can count on me
telling them some very pertinent
truths
As to his own chances for the nom
4, alton. Mr.. Bryan said that he had
said he was not a candidate,
and wanted to be taken at his word.
