because the compensation. which they
thought they were to receive, has not
been forthcoming. There is no doubt
of his having expended large sums but
many have set diligently to work in
his behalf, no doubt. with no specific
understanding as to what their SER
vices would be worth to him, believing,
| perhaps without warrant, that they
were going to receive far more they
have received.
TAMMANY FIGHTS PARKER.
A good deal Of the anti-Parker talk
of late has emanated from Washing
ton. Ex-senator Charles A. Towne,
formerly of Minnesota, but now of
Tammany Hall, is in the city and has
been for several weeks. He is hand
and glove with Tammany and has been
spreading Tammany doctrine as to the
Democratic campaign this summer to
his utmost. Having a wide newspaper
acquaintance here, he has been able
to labor to great advantage and the
propaganda of uninstructed delega-
tons and the nomination eventually of
some other candidate than Parker has
been diligently spread.
Mr.. TONNES efforts received a set
back in the action of the Indiana con,
vention in instructing for Parker's
nomination. 1t remains to be seen now
whether he will give up and cease
laboring in that particular vineyard.
While his agitation for uninstructed
delegations has been received kindly
n nj, l,,c
time when there was little else to talk
about, it has created no impression
worth speaking Of among most of the
Southern politicians who come up here.
The Southerners are in no mood to talk
President making with anybody ex-
cept Democrats from northern states,
believed to offer some hopes of Demo-
cratic electoral votes. They were glad
to form an alliance with New York be-
cause New York Is an old ally and
they profess to believe that New York
may desert the Republican column this
fall. For the same reason. from the
Southern view point, there is reason
for dickering with Democrats from In
diana, or possibly Illinois, but these
Southerners have no patience with
Tammany Hall trying to go back on
a position forced upon them at the
Albany convention.
ILLINOIS AND INDIANA.
There is no dscounting the anxiety
with which both parties, as represents
ed in Washington, have been looking
this week to the conventions in ILL
nois and Indiana. The Indiana con-
vention was big with POSSIBILITIES for
the nomination or defeat of Judge Par
ker. The outcome of the Illinois con-
vention was important to the Repub-
leans as forecasting the degree of |
harmony that could be looked for in
the campaign this fall
CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGNS.
Chairman Cowherd, of the Demo-
cratic Congressional Committee, has
been over to New York looking for
money with which to open committee
The Democrats who
give money for the campaign are not
disposed to put up much for the car
wing of Congressional districts They
prefer to give for the Presidential
but Mr.. Cowherd is under
food to have returned with some sue
less. He will not have to pass around
he hat ere to pay his rent in one of
he uptown hotels. The Democrats are
starting earlier than the Republicans
n their Congressional campaign, but
hey need to, for Chairman Cowherd Is
green hand at the business and must
20 over great deal of preliminary
;round. whereas Chairman BabcoclS OF
he Republican committee is n season.
