St Louis. July t.--lt locks like Par
ker. Nine Of every ten men who have
been closely watching the situation
think that Parker will he nominated
By the second, nor later than the third
ballot At the same time there is
much uncertainty to make the situa-
ton Interesting. with many unpIedg-
ed persons the delegates may prolong
the contest and be among the. first to
swing TO the winning man.
The opponents of Judge Parker raise
number of objections. Hill. as his
political hacker. and August Belmont
as representative of the business in
terests. behind him. are SAID to be I'M
pleasant to many Democrats. The OPP
position of Tammany in New York and
Hearst and Bryan in other portions
of the country, has some effect. OF all
the candidates suggested. Parker seems
more Objectionable TO Bryan and
Hearst than any other man. Cleveland
alone excepted. Yet. several delega-
tons. under instruction for Hearst.
freely announce their preference for
Parker. and expect TO vote for him on
the second ballot.
The Cleveland talk has been Oh the
wane but there is quite a contingent
that is watching the situation. with
the hope that a condition may arise
which will make Cleveiand's nominal
tion advisable but this could not be
/ brought about except after an exciting
! and bitter struggle.
There has been some talk about May
or Mcclellan but IL is recognized that
his birth in Germany would furnish d
small element of uncertainty. while a
still greater factor is the solid delega-
ton of New York state supporting an
other candidate.
Soon after Mr.. Bryan's arrival In st.
; Louis there was some talk about Judge
/ Gray. mainly because of a report which
had been circulated that the Nebraska
man would support the Delaware man
in preference TO any other candidate.
| Occasionally the name of Joseph Folk
is heard. but IL is apparent that the
ruling Missouri Democrats do not want
any further prominence given 10 the
young Missouri attorney
Martin W Littleton OF Brooklyn. a
former attorney of Dallas. Tex. and a
| noted orator, will present the name of
Judge Parker.
