Hill Is Recognized
 As Leading Power
NEW YORK WILL INSTRUCT IT'S DELEGATES AND TAM
 MANY MUST YIELD.
Walter weIlman Says Parker For President and Mcclellan For Gov. ernor Is the Scheme of the Demo erats in New York.

New York, April 14.-Parker fol
 Hiu TOT United States senator. This is the program winch the leading
 cemocIa ats oI the Empire state are dikeiy to agree upon. There is nc douDt the New lork state aemccl atc convention to be held next week, will instruct the delegation to St. Louis to
 vote as a unit for Judge Parker. Lead CT Murphy, of Tammany, ostensibly still stanOs out against an instructed 6eiegauon. But what good can 1t do him? He will not have enough power to control a third of the convention. Hul and the Parker men have the power to instruct and the determine ton to instruct. and MT. MuIphy will have to take his medicine. By the time he gets to St. Louis, Murphy will probably be as enthusiastic as any body for Parker, At any rate, he will have to vote for the judge whether he likes it or not. Hill is not afraid of Tammany opposition to Parker at St. Louis With the whole delegation tied up fin a bag and labeled Parker" he does not have an yanxiety about the talking Murphy and his braves may do in the taverns. Talk without votes, cr.acism of the man one has to east his ballet for, never did amount to much
 If Hill and Murphy fix it up on the Parker-McClellan-Hi basis, and har- snony reigns from Coney Island to the ' tfn rxrfn ho un q mighty good chance to carry New York this year. At any rate, there will be a tremendous battle, with the chances about even. The republicans are not in the best of shape. Governor Odell is in complete mastery of the re publican machine, but Odell is not an Neasy boss" He plays the game in a hard way-plays it with club. They say at Albany if a man won't do his bidding he immediately proceeds to knock him down. They say be is the new Croker' in New York politics, and that the republican party will not stand for Crokerism. All manner of ugly things things are said about Gov ernor Odell, and this likening of him to Groker is often carried to a sinister extreme. There may be little truth or no truth al all in these stories, but at who had alienated hes affections and any rate il is obvious that lot of the cid followers of Senator Platt are angry at the goveI nor and sore over the manner in which they have been thrust aside. How much part these republican bickerings and iealousies are likely to play in the election next Wednesday, of course it is now toe early to tell. But it is noteworthy that the democrats are exceedingly confident they can carry the state for Parker.
 It looks as if David B. Hill were shl ewdly and successfully using the Parker movement as a means for re establishing himself as a political leader He could make no stronger play than to secure peace with Tam many and the cordial support of that organization, not only at St. Louis, but in the campaign, by giving the governorship to Mcclellan. It being Hills ambition to go to the United States senate as the successor to Chauncey Depew, he would have to  run his chances on securing demo cratic legislature, and the odds against that are much greater than against Parker and Mcclellan carry ing the state. The present legislature on joint ballot is 125 republicans to 75 democrats, pretty big majority to overcome.
 It does not seem to be generally un- derstood that Cove nor Odell intends 10 go to the United States senate him. self. So Odell and Hill are rivals as responsible managers and their per sonal ambitions in what promises to be one of the fiercest political strug gles the Empire state has known in many years.
