ut isssny honest opinion said Mr.
sTowne, that tho Democrats have a good
chance to carry Indiana. l have been in
tho State; have talked with Democrats
who were u shades of Democrats In 1856
and 1900, but who are only of one mind
now, and the result of my observation
leads me to the conclusion that 1t Is
quito within the range Of political probntl--
Ibilities that we will carry the State.
AT the public testimonial III honor Of
Mr.. Taggart. after his appointment as
national chairman, some Of the most
enthusiastic participants were men whom
/ know were active and influential among
the god Democrats four and eight years
ago. They are with the party now, and
believe In tho probability of success.
II think that, almost without exception,
the so-called Bryan men will turn In and
help the ticket to their utmost and vote
ifor.it on election day. i talked with them
and talked to them, and found them Of
that bent Of mind. # 4 Bst 81 Ri,
Bryan Will Go to Work. Il
81 told them that, in my Judgment,
when the Democratic National Conven-s
ton voted to send that reply to Judge
Parker. 1t voted the gold plank into the
platform. Just rs enthusiastically as II!
stated in words Butt told them further
1T made no difference In this case, because
the money question is not at issue In this

be very active In the campaign. Our
chances in Indiana and New York are
5exceent, and when We carry those two
;Statesit is mighty likely that some others
will be found In the procession. + Il

in the dispnt ches from NeW' 7 orlt rccit-S
ing an alleged break between Tammany6
and the Parker forces, with Nc CarrenSass
the bone of contention, but refrained from
discussing the situation. He said, how

Can Get Rhode Island
r III. Quinn, of the Democratic State
Committee OF Rhode Island, visited the q
HEADQUARTERS OF the Democratic Congress
:sIonal Committee to-day, He declares
that Parker and Davis will carry his
State If the independent vote goes4sass
present conditions Indicate. DR.. Garvin,
Democrat, was elected Goyern or of Rhode
Island in 1902 and again in 1903, and one
of the two members Of Congress IS a.
Democrat Chairman Quinn says there
WILDE no doubt of&the reelection Of the
5eongressma n.tD }. IL Z. a Granger. and that
the Republicans Will have to put up a.
strong fight in the other district. Cover
nor Garvin may be the Democratic can-g
ldidatoEthere.
Voters In Rhode Island are in two
5classes-prop voters and registry vot-
ars. The law permits the registry voters
% vote for Mayor, but only property
voters may ballot for members Of city
s.o,,ncils. AS the Republicans made these
regulations, the registry voters are in
Eclined toward the Democrats. 1T is /,
significant according to MI Quinn, that
tho list OF registry voters has Increased
from n ooJ to 5000 since last year. This
II; taken to mean a Democratic advan-
!tage.
Looks for Victory
Strange as IT may SEEM said Mr.
Quinn, 1--WE always carry n export, and
will this time. Business men Of proyl-1
Hlence are for Park er, the Cleveland men
md the Hearst men are working hard for
the ticket. and the party,is united. n be-
lieve we Will win
Mr.. Quinn might be taken for the
younger brother Of sena tor Culberson, Of
Texas. He not only looks y Ike the Texas

Senator Edward w. Gnrn,ack. Of Ten

request OF Chairman Cowherd 4 to spend
several days assisting the work Of the
Democratic Congressional Committee. He
expects soon to return to Memphis TO
take part in murder trial In which ne
= assisting the prosecution.
When asked whether he would take adj
vantage OF the opportunity to visit
Esopus he replied that, While he had
had a cordial Invitation to Bgo:to Esopus,
no was OF the opinion that Judge Parker
needed little solitude at this partic-
iuur time and a chance more to think
than TO receive advice
senator Carmacls said: The prospects
for the Democratic party are bright AMI
growing brighter every hour. Tho chief
Issue Of the campaign. Is to put into the
White House a man Of sound mind and
dIsposng memory; af3mnr who you'd

sational administration. The country has
| had three years cpileptic fit Of strenu-
osity and 1t needs a rest.
II believe the people arc growing more
pleased with Judge Parker's candldGcy
ali the time. He has impressed thcmns
u man OF judicial temper, well poised
eound Judgment, and patriotic motives
.his whole training has taught a rever.
sence for the Constitution. M respect fol
