NEW YORK, April 1o.-Judge Park
er's nomination is conceded as inevita-
bic by Democrats throughout the ma
ton who have followed the trend Of
political events in the various States
These men think the Hearst boom has
been wiped out and they say Parker
has beaten all records as an anti-con-
vention candidate The Parker senti-
ment is crystailizing in Illinois, where
Hearst was first in the field and thus
far has been getting nearly all the
State convention delegates
A canvass OF the situation in New Jer-
sey shows that there is q, strong lean
ing toward Parker and that, though
Hearst made a hard fight, the delega-
ton 10 the national convention un-
doubtedly viii go uninstructed. Friends
Of Hearst see a ray Of hope in Connecti-
cut. where, they say, the trend cf pop
ular favor is running in his direction.
Murphy, in an interview in Atlantic
City. intimated that in the Tammany
district conventions no references for or
against instructions would be made.
Thomas Taggart, national committee
man Of Indiana. says that labor unions
resent Hearst's effort 70 put them in

WASHINGTON. April 1O.-Judge
Parker's boom for the Presidency is
breaking all political records. Reports
from all over the United States show
a condition unprecedented in the his
tory OF the Democratic party. a man
practically unknown outside Of his
own State. but pictured as a conser-
VatiVe character who might unite the
party and win the thirty-nine electoral
votes Of New York, is being taken on
trust by the Democrats of the nation
IL would seem tonight that the only
thing which could possibly defeat Par
ker's nomination would be a failure
of New York to instruct in the State
convention a week hence or a stam-
pede for Grover Cleveland at St. Louis.
The almost certain prospect Of New
York giving instructions has practi-
Cauy in one week wiped the Hearst
boom of the face Of the earth. Hearst
has not even Kansas. though il gave
kim q complimentary resolution.
Hearst has reached high tide in III
inOis. where up TO this time he had
swept everything before him. He has
been ONerW elmingly defea ted in such
primaries as have been held in Indi-
ana and there the delegates viii be
instructed for Parker. Kentucky
which was regarded as a Bryan
stronghold. has surrendered to the
Parker movement.
. The situation in the South remains
unchanged. The South viii be for
any conservative man whom New
York wants before Hearst or any
other candidate supported by Bryan.

INDIANAPOLIS. April IO.-Thomas
Taegart, Democratic national commit
tCeman for Indiana, who has been con-
Quoting the fight against ". r. Hearst
returned to French Lick this morning
and viii take charge of the Parker
forces in Southern Indiana, in all coun-
ties in which delegates TO the State
convention of May y have not been
selected. There viii be a total of 1887
delegates in that body. About one-half
OF these have now been selected and 1t
is estimated that 100 Of this number. are
for Hearst IN the counties in which
these delegates were obtained no fight
was made on Hearst and il is believed
that the active work OF the Parker
men from now on viii hold the Hearst
strength down to $50 in the convention
Taggart has assumed the leadership OF
the Parker men in the State on account
OF his extensive acquaintance and be-
cause ali Lle tndLlc OF lnE f1EdrSL men

freely Of the outlook in this State.
The Democrats Of Indiana" he said
are for Parker and will send a solid
delegation to St Louis for him. OF the
delegates already selected. Parker has
six out of seven and the proportion viii
be even greater In the number that re-
main 10 be selected. for sentiment is
crystallizing against Hearst and he is
not as strong as he was when he first
entered uDon his Indiana campaign
The Democrats believe that Hearst and
Parker are the only two men whose
names viii go before the convention
and when called upon to make choicC
between them they will go TO Parker
as the only man who represents Demo-
cratic principles and as the one that

'One Of the reasons for the change
Of sentiment since Hearst's first in
Vasion Of the State is found in the
methods that have been adopted by
his managers. They have appealed to
classes rather than 10 men as Demo-
crafts. and have tried to make the i'm
preston that there is a movement in
union labor circles all over the coun-
try for his nomination. Even laboring
men do not like to be set of in this
way as a class ia politics. and the re-
suit in union labor centers. where
Hearst got only nine out Of the forty
one delegates selected by labor votes,
