WASHINGTON D. i c.. August IL.
Kentucky will give a majority Of Is, 900
for Parker and Davis, said Representa-
tive Ollie James, OF \ Kentucky, at the.
Democratic headquarters in this city to.5
day. Immediately after the reception OF
the Parker telegram at ST. Louis last
month, Mr.. James In the course OF a
speech at the Planters Hotel. said the
4 State would give a majority OF 10000
for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. He alluded
TO this to-day. and the incident is only
cited as showing the change Of sentiment
in the party since there has been time to
think over the action OF Judge Parker
In. putting himself straight Ii, the eyes
of the country regarding the. attitude Of
the party on the money question. Mem-g
abers OF the convention at first regarded
the telegram as an attempt on the part
OF the: nominee to dictate to the con-
sventlon instead OF the offer Of an oppor-
unity to rescind Its action In case his
views on the subject Of COMA &c were not
satisfactory. "A

Kentucky into the doubtful column as
some Republican newspapers have per-
sisted In doing. He regards it as surely.
and safely Democratic.Ba MS certain to cast
Its electoral vote for Parker and Davis,

q. Sun Goes Over.
The declaration OF the New York Sun
to-day that It will support r oosevelti
and Fairbanks has created some COM
sment but has not caused Z the surprise
such an announcement would have car
RED with II a week or two go. It sbe-S
came known early this week that Judge
Parker would ticise t he course OF Gov
ernor Peabody and the mine owners In
the Colorado strike, and 1t was pretty
certain to the minds OF men familiar
with the course OF the Sun. and the #in-S
sfluences surrounding8it II, tina q Il would de-
clare for the Repub lican n minee.s The
Sun is, more 4 than any ga per in this
country the organ OF veal th-of the piu-3
Stocracy. 1t is n for The money power
SrightSor wrong. It Is invariab bly, opposed
to labor. 1t has never failed. II Is be-

one Democrat In conversation with The
!Times-D Dispatch correspondent to-day
Several OF a liese u thought the support
which the Sun Will. give the Repu blican
ticket would have a eficlal effect upon
the candle acyS OF y udge Parker. The
general ecognitlon y OF the Sun as If the
Smouthpiece OF Wall Street, should make
it clear to the country tina Mr.. Roose-8

Is as much the candidate of the trusts a 81
though nominated by. j. Pierpont Nor

5clared for. Mr.. Roosevelt. q
Are Getting Money All Right. /.
The Republicans have industriouslys
sought to- circulate the report that their
National Committee is short Of funds
with which to run the campaign. owing
TO the alleged attitude s OF Mr. Roosevelt
towards the moneyed h interests 9Eof the
country. There Isl no Sreas On Il for saying
that there IS any Ia ck OF money at Re-
publican headquarters. II Is A reliably
asserted that the fat has been fried out
OF several big corporations OF New York
city and State In tbs course Of the past
two weeks, and hat the West has not
even been touched. Chicago is expected
to prove as productive as any city in the
country when 1T comes to raising the
Swherewithal to fight Republican battles
1t is true that Mr.. Cortelyou is not the
man to approach corporations for con-
5tributions with the sang troid Of the
late Mr.. Hanna, but he carries a. m Is htyg
good letter or introduction from the
White House, He is getting the money
Republicans assert that the expenses OF
the campaign thus far have been borne
out OF the surplus which Mr.. Hanna
had at the end OF the canpai gn OF 1900
but this q is not believed to be entirely
correct. Certain 1t s Is. the Democrats
have not succeeded In raising anything
like the sum for campaign expenses that
the Republica MS have got ten together in
the course of q few weeks,
Wall Street Disc ounted.
Though Wall Street may be for Mr.
Roosevelt the Influence OF the support
of the men whose names are connected
with many OF the great financial enter
,prises OF the country will not be as
potent as It was Y In 4 1896 or 1900. The
enormous shrlnkage In values In the past
year and q hal !. the collapse OF many
enterprises looked upon as being as solid
as Gibraltar and the disap appearance look
ed upon as the embodiment OF financial
and soulleSess, has had the ef-S
feet Of changing the mind Tof the public
as to the Importance Of Wall Street in
the economy Of the United States. The
name OF ]. Pierpont Morgan is not one
to conjure with to,day as It was two
years ago, when he was guaranteeing the
bonds OF the billion dollar steel trust,
which cost the people Of this country SO
many millions OF dollars. I; II
