quence of this there has not yet been a
formal meeting Of the State delegation.
but it is understood that one will be

tiers.
There is no doubt that Colonel Rus
sell will be elected Chairman, He has
no opposition. Judge William Rich
ardson had aspirations at one time for
this honor but gave up the idea upon
reaching here. For National Commit
teeman H. d. Clayton and -. X.
Campbell are running very cioee race.
1t is probable that II will be decided
by not over one vote The argument
is made by Mr.. CampbeiPs friends that
Mr.. Clayton has had the position a
long time, that he Ii also n conEress-
man and that honor should now. 80 to
some one else. Mr.. Campbell's friends
are very active and he may win.
For member of the Commftkee on
Platform r. N. Rhodes and William
Richardson are aspirants. II IL Under
stood, however. that Mr. Rhodes has
the Congressman beaten and Will be
selected with votes to spare. There
was some talk of Hon, II ~ Mall
Tory for this important duty, but he de-
clines to allow his name used.
Pressure for Gorman.
The feature OF the day In the Ala
bama delegation has. been the fremen-
dous pressure brought to bear upon II
In the interest OF Senator German for
the Presidential nomination. Colonel
Russell stated this evening that q
heavy onslaught had been made npon
him and the other delegates, At ,ne
time, early this evening. he pelieS "a
that fourteen or fifteen OF the k1abaua
delegates ware ready to vote for. essrs
man. The leaders in this works-tfi the
Alabama delegation were r. w. Bar

able to get a list II those willing to
vote for German, but there is little
doubt of the heavy impression made
upon the delegation. At the back of
this movement mainly. have been
Charles Murphy. the Tammany leader.
and Bourke Cochran one of his COL
leagues. These gentlemen visited Coll
onel Russell in person today as well as
others and brought all sorts of argu-
ments to bear in the Marylander's in
terest. His closeness to the business
interests of the East, his work on the
force bill. his fight on the negro ques-
ton in Maryland. his acceptability to
all Democrats in New York. were urged
as grounds for his nomination. The
same sort of work was systematically
done in various Southern delegations.
Tonight. however. the German boom
and the anti-Parker fight have received
one serious setback. The Pennsyl-
vania delegation which has been fiirt-
ing in various directions. decided by a
vote OF fifty-sever out of sixty-three
to vote for Parker and all the Penn
sylvanians are wearing Parker buttons.
This is considered a coup detat by
Messrs Hill and Belmont and the word
has been sent out to every State dele
cation. 1t is expected to steady the
wavering Parker column. and 1t seems
to be doing It,
Deadlock Not Expected.
II had looked until tonight as II there
might be a deadlock. hot fight with
great uncertainties as to the winner.
but the corridor talk now is the other
way. The anti-Parker forces are urg-
ing that a big Republican State like
Pennsylvania ought not to have a de-
termining power in Democratic coun-
ellis and possibly this idea may help
stem the Parker tide tomorrow. There
are scores of Alabamians here and
there Is an unprecedented clamor for
| tickets to the convention, each delegate
has only three and dozens of applica-
tions. The coliseum is small. and the
number of seats in control of the Ma
tional Committeeman Is unusually
small. AS a result many Alabamians
and people from various States are 60
ing to be disappointed. 1t has been
raining here most Of the day and the
weather is unusually cool and pleasant
