Harmony Will Prevail at
Convention in Buffalo
Monday
THEY ALL PRtDlCT PARKER
National Committeeman Mack says
Nothing Can Prevent Nomination
at St. Louis-sheehan Says
He will Win in New York.

Jos. Oil in Atlanta consttution.) J
New York, April 15.-There is ab-
solutely no difference of opinion in
responsible political circles concerning
the outcome of the New York demo-
cratic state convention which meets
at Albany next Monday. That body
will instruct the delegation to St.
Louis to present Judge Alton B. Parker
as the choice Of New York state.
More than this, is is certain that
the convention will lie notable both
for harmony and enthusiasm. 1t is
true that among the ardent supporters
of Judge Parker there are a good
many who, for reasons local to New
York, doubt the wisdom of adopting
resolutions of instructions, but the
leaders Of the Parker moyoment-ex-
Senator Hill, ex-senator ed Murphy,
National Committeeman Norman Mack
Senator McCarren. August Belmont,
w f. Sheehan and the lesser lights
among the practical politicians fully
realize the necessity of Instructions
in order to crystalize the Parker sen
timent outside of New York. and as
they are honestly and earnestly for
Parker, they have determined upon
instructions.
The necessity for this action has
been brought home to these gentle
men by The Constitution and some
other leading democratic newspapers
of the south and west, and following
this suggestion the program of the
Parker leaders has been prepared.
The possibility that they might not
be able to carry through this pro
pr2m was absolutely removed by the
action of the caucus of Brooklyn del
egates to the state convention in adopt
ing the unit rule and resolving to
vote for instructions. Now the way
is clear and Parker is to be formally
put into the contest as New Yorks
candidate AS this will give him just
the standing that his friends through
out the country have desired, it is an
entirely safe prediction that he will
be the party's nominee against Roose-
yelt
