CALIFORNIA NOT LIKELY TO INSTRUCT.
New York's Action Expected to De-
 feat Plans of Hearst Boomers.

NoW xorks Acticn Expecteu Io 0e-
 feat Plans of Hearst Boomers. San Francisco Special to New York
 World.
 The action of New York will have much influence upon the delegates sent to St. Louis by California That is the opiiI- ion or prominent Democrats questioned today < Hearst Is the only man boomed fn the Etate thus far, but. the indica- Hons are that when the State Conven- tIon meets at Santa Cruz the efforts or Hearst's managers to pledge the deleEa- ton will meet with defeat and that an uninstructed body will go to St. Louis
 The Hearst people are now falling back upon the plea that Hearst should have the California delegation because he Is native son. For a time 1t appeared that California. owing to lack of organization of the conservative element, would in- struct for Hearst. but the opposition that has developed indicates different action
 San Diego, Yolo, Tuba, Contra, Costa. BMadera and Kern Counties have select ed deiegations that will vote against Hearst from first to last When Santa Cruz selected its delegates nothing was said concerning Hearst. Humboldt Coun- ty. where the Democrats are conserve tive. repudiate Hearst. Mendocino, its neighbor. will do likewise. Fresno, the home of M. F. Tarpey. Hearsts mana ger. will, according to present indications. send free delegation.

THE NEW YORK PRESS.

s The newspapers of New York in the last mayoral.y campaign. at least the best known newspapers, were with one excep- ton arrayed against Mcclellan and for Seth Low Low was decistvely defeated as everybody knows. Mr. Henry w. Lacy, the %eil-known English political writer found this fact the most sisnifi- cant feature of an election the fortunes of which he was following on the spot It was incomprehensibie to him that the New York press should have counted for s, little. It would be wholly to mis- judge the actual influence of newspapers to infer from the result in the metro. polls that newspapers do not count and are never to be rsckoned with. Estimated in the lowest way. the press Is generally n certain ffdex of the trend of public opinion. Newspapers are not divorced from the cotnmunity; the men who write the matter that appears and those who publish 1t are citizens after ell. indi- viduals forming q part of the commit nity and inbibing opinions as well as irparting them. They so astray at times and at others when altogether anx- ious to run with the current, they miss the currents direction. In New York in 1905 the newspapers failed to reflect what was to be seen all around them. We had e similar situation nearer home just the other day.
 In spite of recorded failures, no man or party is ever less than happy and proud to have the support of the press It is one of the most hopeful signs in New York State that with a good ticket and platform at St. Louis the Democ- rscy has the almost certain assurance of the united support of every able and in- dependent journal published in Greater New York. The Times is already deeply committed and is rendering admirable service in clearing the way for a sane and wholesome declaration of principles The World Is working to the same end. The Herald, usually most cautious Is manifesting a leaning of a like kind, while The Sun. what ever its professions is daily digging the ribs of Roosevelt The Evening Post, the most influential of the afternoon journals. has it's dislikes more easily excited than It's likes and 1t has no love for the President. With The Times it has always been a steadfast ad- vocate of tariff reform, and this issue 1t is now morally sure will be one of the main contentious of the St. Louis plat form. So the Democratic Party will probably go into the campaign backed and supported by all the greater inde- pendent newspapers in New York, and quite as likely, by those elsewhere in the North and West The independent vote will determine the coming election, just as 1t has always determined the re- suits and the support of the favorite jour- nals of this class would ensure just that much more additional aid and comfort than the party enjoyed in 1S96 and 1900
 Altogether the newspaper outlook for | the. Democracy is bright

TEXAS TO INSTRUCT FOR
 JUDGE PARKER
Leaders Jubilant Over New York's Action-Hearst Loses Conven-
 tion Date Ticht

Austin, Tex, Special to New<Yo World.
 The Hearst supporters in Texas lost their fight before the State Executive Committee for an early date for holding the State convention to select delegates to the national convention. At the meet ing of the committee last night by unani- nous vote the date of the convention was that the object in placing 1t at that time is that the members of the Texas Con- gressional delegation. all but one of whom are ardent supporters of Parker may be home from Washington to parti- cipate in the convention. Former Gov ernor J. s. Hogg, the leader of the Hearst boom in this State, madc a per- sonal effort to have the committee favor Hearst in fixing the convention date He Is much disappointed at the outcome.
 All the larger newspapers of the State favor Parker,s nomination.

 The Boston Post speaks of MT. Cleve. lands Coiorphobia." because he so em- phaticaIly denied that he had invited d negro to dine or lunch with him. adding:
 We'll. what of it7 Would any sensible man, woman or child think any worse of he says he has never done. Would they not say that, If, he had done so. 1t was iu the exercise of that broad humanity and that wise discretion which they attribute to Mfr. Cleveland as his commanding characteristics?
 We beg to inform The Post that there are many millions of people who would think less of MT. Cleveland if the charges were true. To have a colored official at the Capitol or the White House in an of- fieial capacity is one thing. but to invite and receive him socially is another and quite different proposition. The latter is what Mir. Cleveland denies having done, and all the people of the South. and the very best people everywhere else, honor him for not violating propriety and good taste as later President does.
 The Posts idea about broad humanity" is very slightly removed from rot. to put it plainly. There Is no demand of human ity that requires white man. be he Pres. ident or private citizen. to disregard the line which divides an inferior from su :. perior race, and no prating of negro low CTS can change the fact. There are cases and conditions where racial differences are ignored, but the table ara the domes- tic circle are not included therein MT.

 Charles F. Murphy has given the cuc to Tammany that 1t Is to play a silent game concerning Judge, Alton B. Parker Accompanied by Victor J. Bowling. J. Sergeant Cram and Philip F, Donohue. Mir. Murphy returned yesterday after noon at b.So o'clock from Albany.

In a similar way has this country been nxing its mind upon an Opposition party as the one thing needful in the present posture of affairs. The New York Con yention has frightened the hope that we shall speedily have one.
 As the case stands. the platforms the thing. So 1t will be at St. Louis. ', hen a party has been headed wrong, the first step necessary is to make it face about. The question of leadership Is secondary This Is said in no disparagement of Judge Parker, whose candidacy will &C., quire such an impetus from yesterdays proceedings as in all probability to sweep everything before it. His personality. however pleasing and reassuring will be That is the strategic thing in this cam paign. It is an open secret that Judge Parker himself so regards it, and that the St. Louis platform must be such as candidate. In this light. yesterdays state platform, as far as 1t goes is grat- flying. It Is drawn with both shrewd- ness and force, laying dowS those gem be most successfully invoked and applied as against Republican methods. It con talns not one of those sops which it was confidently predicted would be thrown to dence of this Is the shrill protest of Hearst's incendiaries. The platform at St. Louis will, of course. have to be ev- need to be enlarged by a declaration against Imperialism. and in other ways: but in the main contentious for a gov ernment of law, equal justice for all, no class legislation, hohesty in the public service, no military adventure, no favor itism and no oppression, the Albany plat form may well prove the rallying ground of sane and strong Opposition.
 That this sound and vigorous politi- cal deliverance had Judge Parker's ap- proval, goes without saying. That he cut out all of the baits and dodges which Hill wished to insert, may fairly be in- ferred. We have, accordingly, in this platform a trustworthy line on Judge Parker's political convictions. that is. indeed, not bad way to make them known. After 4.e and his friends have written the .H,. Louis platform. there need be no more impatient urgings that he declare himself. If you ask for his opin- ions on public questions. the answer will be, Read the platform upon which he stands" It will not be case with him. as it was with Mckinley, of free silver man upon gold platform; or. as with Mir. Roosevelt, a convinced free trader upon a protectionist platform The prin- ciples upon which Judge Parker wishes to contest the election will be plainly set forth in the St. Louis platform-else he will calmly continue Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals.
