Bryan's Personal Representa-
tive i'm New York for Watson.
New York Democrats are Beginning
TO Doubt the Sincerity Of the
Nebraska Statesman.
DON'T LIKE PARKER's FRIENDS

New York, sept. 6.-Melvin G. Pal
User, who had charge of the arrange
ments for receiving William j. Bryan
when he returned from Europe last
spring. and who has acted for some
months as the personal representative
in this city of Mr.. Bryan, has declared
that, while loyal to the democratic
party, he could not bring himself Il
vote for Parker, and that in conse
quence he intended to advocate the elec
ton. Mr.. Watson.
The announcement aroused a good
deal of speculation as to just what in
spired Mr.. Palliser's statement, IL was
recalled that, while Mr.. Bryan has an
nonnced that he will support Judge Par
ker, he has written TO Mr. Taggart that
he is so much in need of rest that il
will be impossible for him to do any
thing to help the democratic nominee
until October.
When Mr.. Palliser's statement was
shown To the democratic chieftains
there was an inclination TO doubt Mr..
Bryan's sincerity in his promise to
work for Judge Parker. The feeling
which Mr.. Bryan had, and still has for
Mr.. Hill is well known, and this ex-
tract from Mr. Palliser's statement was
commented on:
Il am in communication with Bryan
democrats throughout the state. and a
great majority of them have expressed
themselves in favor of Mr.. Watson
The Bryan democrats have true esti-
mate of the character of David h. Hill,
and his Justly odious personality has
encouraged them TO declare themselves
openly against his puppets. 1t is this
widespread sentiment throughout the
state which has forced from Hill the
promise to retire from politics after
next January. Those who have watched
his record in the past will recognize in
this declaration merely a campaign
trick.
But even il the declaration is sin.
cere he gives no assurance that he will
refrain from securing positions for his
henchmen, who will, if an opportunity
is afforded, perpetuate his corrupt meth
DDS. His declaration is a surrender
which comedies the defeat of Judge
Parker. Mr.. Bryan has denounced him
and his associates in this state rs allies
of the plutocracy, and has not with
drawn or modified this statement. I'm
der these circumstances Bryan demo
Gratis will refuse to support either Par
ker or Roosevelt, and will vote for Mr..
Watson, who is the only representative
of democratic principles in this cam
paign."

Rose received letter from Mr.. Claude
F Snyder, secretary of the Kentucky

saying that the Psducah matter would
be referred directly to the executive
