ticket Is considered OF especial significance at TIT,
juncture. and Is taken to connote the launching
even at this early hour. OF the Hearst Presidential
boom for 1903.
r. on the one hand the defeat OF the Democrats

Parker syndicate on the other it has caused the
Peoples party. at low ebb ever since the ST. Louis
convention. to take on a new lease Of lie
I'VE regard Mr.. Parkers smashing defeat az TIA
polls" said Mr. Palser. cas- a sweeping victory
for the Democratic radicals throughout the coun.
try. In a radical platform lies the only hone a,
Democracy in 1908. That Democratic Governors IN
many States were elected on Tuesday is suficlent
indication that the American peoples obiectfo,
was not to Democracy but to Mr.. Parker's brand
Of 1t. The result is very encouraging 70 Democratic
radicals"
President Roosevelt was elected not because q.
his principles but because OF his radical tendencies
as well as because OF his manhood and the belisf
that he Is honest"
Mr.. PalIister predicted that 1893 would see a com,
plete reversal OF the party platforms.
THE Republican party he said. will IN thar
year bend its efforts to the election OF conserva-
tive while the Democrats viii nominate a radical
man on radical platform I believe that plat
form made up OF planks for the suppression -
trusts by the abolition OF special privileges ard
the public ownership OF natural monopoIes with
suitable labor planks ana the right man behind
the structure. will mean overwhelming victory
for the Democrats at the polls
There is plenty OF radical timber available
continued Mr.. Palliser. such men as Douglas
Folk. Bryan. Hearst and perhaps Johnson"
How about Mr. Watson was asked.
II don't think Mr.. Watson is a candidate" said
Mr.. Palster. He has a great deal OF literary
work in mont Of him. He Is writing life OF
Andrew Jackson and may do the proposed edi-
torial work for Mr. Hearst's 'New-York Arnert-
can although that matter is still in allegiance
Mr.. Watson is to live permanently in New-York In
a house n West Forty-third-st.. and in any case
will undoubtedly WELD a large influence in Demo-
cratic affairs I have Just received a letter from
Mr.. Watson saying he will be here on Friday"
From conversations I have had with hin re-
Gently presume that Mr.. Hearst. soon the
wreckage is cleared away. will announce himself
as the Democratic candidate for 1908 We shall
then make a fight all along the line. and at worst
cannot be beaten more badly than Parker.
Mr. PalIiser denied that reported. he had de-
Bryan. Mr.. Hearst and Mr.. Watson
What say said Mr.. Pallser. as this: Mr..
Watson will be here Friday. understand from
both Mr.. Gardiner and Mr.. johnson. his managers.
that William Jennings Bryan will be here
time next week. That being so. Messrs- Hearst and
Watson will naturally call Mr.. Bryan the
only remaining leader of the Democratic party.
The invitations to the conference were sent out
from Joliet Ill. and both Mr.. Hearst and Mr..
Bryan were invited More than that cannot speak
for Mr.
But will the Peoples party tolerate rs to z
pIank?" was asked.
1T viii not" said Mr.. PaIlser. 'out # Is pos
sible that Mr. Bryan considers there are row more
important issues at stake. After the conferences
call will be sent out for lodge convention TO be

folded their tents and silently stole away They
paid hurried visit headquarters. but did not re-
main long. and they had nothing 70 say when
asked for opinion. On the other hand the
adherents of William J. Bryan were exceptionally
laxative They indicated that big reorsa1iza-

1t is plainly evident 10 those who have watched
the course OF the campaign and its results that
the Democrats are further apart than ever on
matters Of policy The Belmont-Sheehau-P Parker
faction have in control in this campaign ana
they have been beaten worse than Bryan was

James G. Johnson Of Kansas. one OF BTyans
closest friends. said yesterday:
I am not surprised nor am I cast down over
Judge Parkers defeat As Mr. Hearst said IN 1is
paper this morning. the Democrats party must os
away from the ideals OF Jefferson, and il must set
back to first principles AS say. am not dow dow

Democrat and that the voters have cepuSSIt-
ated the so-called reorsanizers Mr. Bryan ana az
friends viii to the front and reorsanl-e the
reorganzers.
Mr.. Bryan has come TO believe In government
ownership Of natural monopoIies. and upon SUCH 3
platform he is going to be eiected President
This sums up the feeling OF the Bryan men
There is no doubt that the radicals will regain
control Of the party. There will probably be
contest between the ultra-radcals. led BY HeaFst
and Watson. against the more conservative rad-
Gals led by Bryan. Senator German was N ths

Mr. Hearst last night said:
