PARKER
Is the Favorite- Opposition is I'm
able 10 Organize Their Forces
On Any Candidate
BAND WAGON IN DEMAND.
Favoritc Sons Ont Of Business
Making Platform

ST. Louis, July 5.-On the eve
of the democratic National conven.
tion the prospect is that Judge Al
ton Parker Of New York, the can
didate Of the conservative forces,
will win handily.
Where a week ago there was a
doubt, uncertainty, spdring for po-
sition, parleying for time, factional
scheming and manipulating TO oy-
erthrow the favorite it is now the
foregone conclusion that the field
will come i'll a poor second.
Not only does it appear that the
control Of the nomination for first
place will be in the hands of those
democrats who were in the minori-
ty in 1896 and again in 1900, but
that they will select the nominee 5
running mate and dominate the
platform on which the race will be
made.
In view Of such handicaps as
were rated by the ambitious friends
Of German. Cleveland, Gray, Olney,
Mcclellan and favorite sons who
had followings that divided the
conservative columns throughout
the week the Parker forces received
material accessi0ns. One candidate
after another who threatened to
supply strength for the conserva-
tives being eliminated until opposi-
tion is now confessedly in the mi
nority and seemingly unorganized
to present a fighting front. The
band wagon seats are in such a de
mand hat the nomination is conf
denlly predicted on the second bal
lot, and thesurprise would be small
if the FIRST would be decisive.
For several days Mr. Bryan and
the hand-tied Tammany delegates
opposed to Parker have been work
ing to one end-the defeat OF Park
er but they have not moved in
any direction. The Tammany del
egates are listed as conservatives
and the Bryan forces as radicals,
and in consequence their work has
been poor Bryan was believed 70
be with Hearst before the contest
opened, but after Parker S strength
was shown he suggested that the
Pennsylvania delegation should put
former Governor Pattison in nomi-
nation, but, that failing to find fav-
or, he proposed Judson Harmon of
Ohio. The Ohio delegation, al
though loyal TO Harmon looked up
on the 'an with some suspicion
and this idea fell upon barren soil.
The Parker forces displayed no
alarm at the report that the votes
were to be against the New York
candidate. Mr.. Bryan asserts that
Mr.. Parker had made no substan-
tial gains and that the opposition
was becoming better crystalized.
There are many prominent politi-
clans participating that were com
pelled to submit to the will of Mr.
Bryan in the last two conventions
who are taking unaffected satisfac-
ton in the fact that today they are
able TO dictate terms. David B
Hill Of New York, Ben I. Cable
and John P Hopkins, Patrick Col
lins Of Massachusetts,, Hokc Smith
and Bourke Cochran. On the 9TH
er hand there are many persons
taking minor parts in the conven-
ton for no other reason that they
held too much power in 1896 and
1900. Many of these who stood by
Bryan then are not with him now.
Some have returned to the conser
vatives and others are watching in

RETAIL BUTCHERS AND GRoc-

| MEDIATION is PROPOSED
Attempt Now Being Made to Get the
Packers and Strikers Together in
a Piece Conference.
MEDIATION is PROPOSED

Chicago, Aug. 11.-Determined ef-
forts are now being made to settle the
stockyards strike by mediation. Nego-
tiations begun between the Retail
Butchers and Grocers' association and
representatives of several labor unions
which would undoubtedly become in
volved in the strike should it be pro-
longed much longer, resulted last night
in the appointment of committee
composed of those who attended this
meeting to negotiate with the packers
in an attempt to bring about a joint
meeting between the employers and
the striking unions. 1t was the senti
ment of all who attended this confer
ence that should the meeting be ar
ranged between the two opposing in
terests a settlement satisfactory te
both sides could be reached.
Meantime Samuel Gompers, presi
dent of the American Federation o1
Labor, has been summoned from New
York to come to Chicago and see il
he cannot accomplish something
through mediation. Mr.. Gompers viii

The following article taken from

Prof. Walter S. Davis, instructor in

Wayne county and eastern Indiana
and his views are noteworthy. He
says:
"For twenty years | have followed

FROM THE DAYTON JAIL TOLD
BY THE PRISONERS
TURNKEY is SUSPENDED
Charged With Criminal Negligence
The Whole Affair is Given &c
the Press.

The Dayton Press of last evening
gives full account of the return 10
jail of Rickers and Redmond. who
were captured pear this city. The
story is as follows:
The lads story as ascertained in
an interview at the Jail this morning
Is substantially as follows:
Redmond was awakened about 10
o'clock Monday night by Kicker. gho
had made the discovery that Sloan.
the night Waterman. had neglected ia
securely fasten the bolts of their calls
and by reaching through the grating.
he could force the bar holding the
door out of place and swing it open.
The prisoners held hurried cor
sultation and determined to make am
immediate attempt to secure tEeir
freedom. Redmond first tried to
swing open the door. but his arm vas
too short to reach the bar that locked
it and Kicker had to attempt the
work. After some effort he reaci ed
the bar and raised it while Redmond
pushed open the heavy door. The
men then ran into the hall and made
complete tour Of all parts Of the
jail to which they had access. looking
for the easiest and safest mcaus of
escape.
They finally decided to look for
some means by which they could es-
cape without taking the chances TO
life and limb that would result in
going down the lightning rod and they
again ran down to their cells and from
there to the first floor of the jail.
Strange Negligence.
There they claim to have seen Sloan

path they had decided on taking i'm

ner in the hall they watched him. he
being engrossed in the contemplation
of some object that he held in his
hands. After some minutes of breath
less suspense the night watchman left
his chair and went into the office OF
the Jail where Kicker claims to have
seen him tilted back in another chair
resting.
Sloan has been severely censured
for his conduct and now stands sils-
pended, pending an investigation Of
the case. His negligence, according
to the sheriff, was almost criminal and
while he hesitates to believe that the
man was actuated by desire to give
the prisoners their freedom, he night
. Waterman will be compelled to give
a logical Interpretation to his conduct
before he will be relieved of the stul
tifcation it has engendered.

sible was in not seeing that the dool

be injured, but that if he was good
