candidate, were it not that he
could only be chosen after turn
ing down Parker, and New
York would be rendered prac-
tically certain for Roosevelt in
case of the Mayors selection.
Kilbourne, of Ohio, might be
pitched on as a man with a
" bar'l" but he would arouse
no great enthusiasm, and the
same may be said of any other
dark horse.
After Parker, Senator Cor
man would appear to "a man
up tree as the best possible
and most probable choice of the
convention. There can be no
doubt that, whatever the leaders
may think, the great mass of
the Democratic party is loyal to
Bryan and his leadership, and
the man nominated as President
Roosevelt's rival to come within
measurable distance of success
in the great battle of November
must have the hearty support
of the Bryan following. Parker
might get it on the ground of
his regularity, and so might
Senator German for the same
and other reasons. The candi-
date. whoever he may be, must
fit the platform, but if any of
those named for the head of the
ticket could adjust himself to
ANY old platform it is the
Sage of Laurel. But it is any
body's guess as to what will
happen at St. Louis, and all
that can be said in advance is
that it is Parker against the
field, but keep your eye on
German.

PARKER AGAINST THE FIELD.
THE Democratic National
Convention will meet at
St. Louis on Wednes-

St. Louis on Wednes-
! day. Right on the eve of the
gathering there is the same un-
certainty as to the candidates
to be chosen and the platform
to be framed as there has been
at any time within the past six
months. The differences that
have divided the Democracy for
the past eight years are radical
and irreconcilable.
1t may be that the leaders
NAV effect a truce sufficient to
allow of the choice of a candi-
date aud the framing of a plat
form. but the on" will likely b"
but Il stalking horse for the cam
pti.sn and the other Il make
shift drawn as carefully as pos
sible for the purpose of allaying
resentments and catching the
doubtful voters.
The Bryan-Hearst faction,
with the two thirds rule. can do
a great deal of dictation, give a
lot of trouble or, if finally out
voted, may organize formida-
bic bolt against which the Con-
servatives could enter no legiti-
mate protest as they set the pre-
cedent in 1896.
So far as instructed and
friendly delegates go, Judge
Parker has long lead over his
combined opponents, but with
all his likely supporters he will
be still far from the needed two
thirds of the accredited dele
gates. 1t may be that enough
of the Radicals can be persuaded
to allow his nomination, but on
the eve of the race it is Parker
against the field. German, o.
ney, Gray, Cockrell, Wall, Kill
bourne, Pattison and Cleveland
have their followers. 1t might
be that in the Sage of Prince
ton President Roosevelt would
find his most dangerous compel
itor, if the Radicals would suf-
fer Cleveland's nomination. Next
to Cleveland Judge Gray would
probably prove the best vote
getter but he was not regular
in 1896. and lack of regularity
would damn him or any other
Democratic candidate who might
be now named. Cleveland would
appeal to a certain element that
no other candidate could attract
and could stand a bolt better
for that reason. Olney is regu-
lar but his record in the Debs
business in 1894 made him OBJ
noxious to the Labor vote. Pat
tison is regular and should be
entirely unobjectionable to all
but the most pronounced follow
ers of Bryan and Hearst. May
or Mcclellan, of New York,
might make good compromise

says Newport special to the New York
Tribune The builders of the boats

Secretary of State Fenimore

report to Acting Governor Feni-

state he has made a number of
recommendations to himself as
governor for consideration by the
legislature.
During the two years ending Sep.

in fees and from the sale of SEES
sion laws aud the revised statutes
the sum of $30,255.45. OF this
amount S29 ,36O.35 was paid by
foreign and home corporations as
fees for filing articles of incorpor-
alton in this state.
The secretary's report states
that the aggregate fees collected
during the past four years greatly
exceed the total amount collected
during the preceding eight years,

FIRE FIEND AT WORK
Timely Discovery Of Blaze in Boz Stall
In sisson b orvills Livery Stable
Prevents confagration.

Saturday evening about 7:3O
VIM. Orville, of the livery firm
of Sisson & Orville, discovered a
blaze in one of the box stalls in
the rear stable. AS the fire had
evidently been started but a short
time previous it was soon extin-
guished and no serious damage re-
suited.
The fire was undoubtedly of in
cendlary origin. The stall in
which it was started has been lock-
ed up for some time. Entrance
was gained by prying open a side
door. The miscreant had piled
up some loose hay in one corner
and started the blaze, and but for
its discovery in the nick of time
the result would have been disas-
trous. The presence of an unus-
ual smoke caused Mr.. Orville to
make a search with the result that
the blaze was discovered.
Quite a stiff wind was blowing,
and if the fire had gotten a start
in the framework of the building
the entire stable and probably the
entire block would have been des-
troyed. No clew to the perpetrat-
or has been found, but the feeling
of indignation is strong and should
he be discovered, Saratoga will be
a warm place for him to live in.

actual points of conflict, and by
conferences between such inter
