e,i r. he gets 4. He IS The kind Of a man. now
that william c. Whitney is dead, to take the
lsading part Il running the national conVen-
slon. He has more induence with the southern
5s,sVa4es than any other man. His experience
nc leader in the Senate fits him for conven-
tor work. and rs he is on the warpath against
Parker it win pay the men in charge OF the
,uares interests 20 keep A particularly sharp
watch on DEVELOPMENTS.
Things are going 10 change, if they change at
al very fast in the next ten days. Senator
German and Colonel Guffey are here to make
them change their way. They find that it is
snvbody's race at s.. Louis up to date. They
are satisfied that the Parker men viii have less
than $50 votes on the first ballot. 1t takes SOB
10 nominate. Ihe presence Of t1el-Le II Alo5C-o
st the conference at the Holland House to-
night vas not without significance 1t means
that Mr. Rogers knows what Colonel Guffey,
who Is in the oil business, is doing in politics
The Standard Oil Company is interested il the
way the cat Is going to jump. August Belmont
is the financial hacker OF the Parker boom
M Belmont is the American agent OF the
Rothschilds Kings Of finance in Europe. The
Rothschilds are interested in Russian OF. and
the Standard Oil Company does not like the idea
Of having the Democratic National Convention
pick out candidate who might. without know
ing it, do the Rothschilds a lot Of good. That is
one Of the reasons Why Colonel James NJ. Guffey,
Of the Standard oil Company, is not particularly
friendly 10 the Parker boom"
Il could not be learned last night whether
Colonel Guffey and Senator German are going
20 see Charles 7. Murphy before they leave
town. Alr. Cram apparently is the representa-
tlre q Mr.. Murphy IN all the talks that the
tnTse men have had

yesterday that the action Of the Georgia State
convention 81 lnstTUctinE Tor Parker just about

While Parker has not yet enough instructed
eeegstes 70 nominate him. the sentiment for
Farker IS Overwhelming. and he viii be nom
mated On the first ballot" said Mr.. Meyer.
