the country" he replied, "and the vot.
ers think he is the most available
candidate that could be brought be-
fore the st. Louis convention. A
good many of the people hold the
view that Mcclellan is q more avail
able man than Parker. There Is no
doubt that the preponderance Of SEN
timent is in favor of the nomination
of an eastern man, and ! think the
candidate should come from New
York. The trouble with the Mcclellan
movement is that thus far it does not
represent votes or delegates. There
is no doubt that Judge Parker, with
his more than 400 pledged delegates,
has all the best of, so far, but nobody
can predict what VIII happen In the
convention"
Attorney Charles O'Brien, a leading
Democrat said tonight that 1t was his
belief that Mcclellan would be nomi-
