NEW YORK FOR PARKER.
Prominent Gold Democrats Regard
New York as a Sure Democratic
State.

New YORK, July 25.-"The Democrats
there were million of them who refused to
support the party ticket in the last two cam
paigns-have come back to a man. De Ian
cey said in an interview here. They are not
only back, but enthusiastic, and not only back,
but have brought an army of Republicans with
them.
There are over 200, 900 of these Democrats
in this State, he added. land their vote for
Parker this year will make New York as
certainly Democratic as any Southern State.
Ihave no more doubt about New York going
Democratic than have about Georgia.
De Lancey Nicoll was one of the chief
movers in the gold movement in 1896.
William f. Curtis, former Assistant Sec
| rotary the Treasury, prominent gold leader
and law partner of John G. Carlisle, united
with Mr.. Nicoll in declaring that every gold
bolter' of prominence was back in the party
ranks.
They point out that Governor Odel was
elected BY only 5000 votes and that with the
Gold Democrats of the State united behind
Judge Parker this margin can be wiped out
and a Democratic majority OF $4,000 rolled
up.

not conyced that the money question is settled
aud out of this campaign. Who can honestly
doubt what Judge Parker would do 1t The
question of the money standard should come
before him
In the lsst two campaigns this great army
! Of Democrats felt impeied to oppose the can
| didate of the party because of his attitude on
the money question and because of certain
other Populist features ofthe platform. There
was a tremendous exodus from the party
democratic victory. TO my mind, Is as good
as certain. With the solid South. West NIr-
giniR. MARYLAND aud New York The Demo
Gratis will have 20S electoral votes, and they
need ONLY 81 more to give them the election.
In other words, feel that We have nov AS
sured POS votes. and that all We have 10 WIN

never was popular in this State. aud as soon
as New JERSEY and Connecticut see that New
York Is going against him they will tail m Tor
