Much Talk of Tagsart by Committee

New York, July 25.-The Democratic
National Committee will pay its res
poets to the Democratic candidate We'd
nesday.
Arrangements have been made by
Norman f. Mack, member or the COM
mittee for New York and Cord Meyer.
chairman of the New York Democratic
State committee, for the national or
ganization to leave New York at IL 80
a. m, and go direct to Esopus, where
each member will be presented to
Judge Parker. Some members have
never seen their candidate, while 9TH
ers visited him both before and after
the nomination.
1t is quite probable that the chair
man of the committee will be detained
at Esopus for a time in order to dis
cuss the plans of the campaign and
more especially the appointment of the
executive campaign committee. which
will have the management of the CAM
paign.
The members of the committee who
arrived to-day have confirmed the
opinion that Thomas Taggart will be
elected chairman. Both William F.
Sheehan aad Norman e. Mack who
know much as anybody about Judge
Parker's position in this matter, say
that Taggart will be chosen. Up to the
fectly plain that he would not take
the craftsmanship both Sheehan and
Mack thought that Taggart might not
be elected. The outlook now is that
Taggart will be the unanimous choice
of the committee.
The Minor Places.
The settlement of the Craftsmanship
has made the contest for the minor po-
sitions more Interesting. There has
hnn fn1 Il y ba r,fa
tary, the candidates being c. A. Walsh
of Iowa, the former secretary; Urey
Woodson of Kentucky, and Erwin Sef-
ton, of the District of Columbia. Walsh
and Woodson are members of the com
mittee, and it has been the practice to
choose a member of the committee for
the secretaryship. Just before their
committee adjourned a resolution was
adopted authorizing the coNmItee in
its discretion to elect some one outside
of its membership as secretary. Seton
for many years acted as clerk of Sem
ator Jones, while the Senator was
chairman of the committee.
Members of the committee tonight
expressed the opinion that Woodson
would be chosen. Mr.. Walsh is not
here and is represented by w. A. De-
ford. who has his proxy. Mr.. Deford
says Mr.. Walsh is not a candidate in
the StllSe "a manning d canvass Tor
votes of members of the committee, but
that his friends thought that it would
be good politics to elect him because
of his close friendship with Mr.. Bryan
Other members of the committee say
the secretary should be one who is and
has been in harmony with the men who
nominated Parker
For sergeant at arms several candi-
| dates have appeared and they have
been canvassing the members of the
committee they arrive Colonel
John L. Martin of Missouri, the for
mer sergeant at arms; Samuel Donnel-
son of Tennessee: William Watson and
James oliver of New York are among
those prominently mentioned for the
place. 1t seems to be generally under
stood that August Belmont is to be
elected treasurer of the committee.
Charlie Murphy Talks.
Charles F. Murphy of Tammany Hall
said to-day that he thought the sue
cess of the national ticket in this State
depended largely upon the character
of the State ticket nominated by the
| Democrats.
The Democratic State ticket will
have an important influence on the
chances of the national ticket" he
said. IF the Democrats put up man
for Governor who needs a vindication'
the succession may be lost TO the ma
