New York, and that Judge Parker Was to Do the other one.
 At the same time 1t should be borne in mind that Mr. Parkers prospects dt- pend almost entirely upon the suppo:t [ given him by his own State. And New York politics Is proverbially an uncel- tain quantity. Tine margin by which Mr. Hill won out was not wide enough 10 banish all fear or hope that he may be overthrown in some future engagement, and of course Judge Parker is not strong enough before the country to win with out the solid support of the New York delegation, as was MT. Cleveland.
 Not a few prominent Democrats he+s believe there will yet come from the par ty masses a demand for the nomination of former President Cleveland that wid prove irresistible. Most of the Southern Democrats are unalterably opposed to the Cley eland talk. They. in common with Northern Democrats admit the ex-Pre5- ldeat probably could come nearer beat ing Roosevelt than any other man the party could name. But so great Is the hatred that a majority of them oe''r their former leader they would prefer not to have the Presidency than to w'n it with Mir. Cleveland as their standard bearer. For this very reason most or 'He Southern Democrats are eager to come to the support of the Parker movement: if only they can feel sure it Is nNee quantity which they can anoro 70 sIAhu

by. That is why they are so glao Hol won mt in Albany yesterday. These Southern Democrats figure there is dah- ger that the party in the end may go to one extreme or the other. either to Nil
 Cleveland or to the Bryan-Hearst com bInution. And they want neither the one nor the other. Hence, for sdfety's sake they argue. the sooner they give ald and comfort to a halfway or compre- mise movement that may insure them re-
 lief from one or the other of the dreaded extremes the better. In Justice Parker thev see this midway compromise.
 On these accounts the South has turned very sharply against the Hearst move ,nent curing the past few weeks For timc Hearsts agents made q good deal of headway Tn the South. as they made headway everywhere, and by the same methods. But as soon as the Southerners began to understand that too much e! . couragcment uf Hearst in the end might mean revulsion which would drive .he party clear over to Grover Cleveland they rcefed their sails and started general movement to sit down on the Buster Brown candidate for the Pre.I-

reaping any benefit from this scattering strength.
 Kansas and Nebraska are both lost to the conservative wing of the party. Bryan will hold both delegations in the hollow of his hand.
 Indiana can safely be placed in the con- trol of the conservative element. Illi- nois is just now the great battle field Oe- tween the radicals and the conservatives No one can tell what the result will be. The State is the center of Mir. Hearsts operations. and 1t is also the headquar- ters in the West of the conservative Democracy. John P. Hopkins. who left the organization in 1896 and supported Palmer and Buckner. is now Chairman of the State Committee. If the conser- vatives win in the State convention they may try to have the unit rule applied, in order to prevent Mir. Hearst from hav- ing any delegates. The result Is doubt full in the State.
 Iowa, which was inclined to go in a body for Hearst, is now reported to be shifting.
 Almost hand-in-hand the Hearst boom and the Bryan edict are travelling over the country beyond the Middle West. In Minnesota, North Dakota. South Da- kota, Montana. Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and Colorado an active organization is at work. It Is far too early to indicate what the result will bo. Montana and Idaho are likely to go for the conserva- lives. Colorado fs in doubt Nevada Is promised to Hearst The Hearst forces claim the three Pacific slope States of California. Oregon and Washington, but they are being combatted everywhere.

HOW IT IS VIEWED
HEARST AND BRYAN HAVE BEEN MOVING TOGETHER.
They May Control Six states-But no Indication That They Can Secure One Third of the Del
 egates Bryan May Bolt.

New York Special
 The washington correspondent of the Herald, after long review of the Dem Ocratic national campaign, now well un- der way, sums up the party situation as follows:
 Hearst and Bryan seem to be assured 70 far of support from six solid State delegations. The States which are coz ceded to them are Rhode Island. Ken lucky. Mississippi. Kansas, Nebraska and Nevada.
 Contests for Mir. Hearst as a candidate and for Mir. Bryan's platform ideas are being made all over the country. The outcome in many States is doubtful. but at does not seem possible for Bryan and Hearst to control a third of the conven- tion A large element of the party, es- pecially in the West. is CT ragged in conn batting both the Bryan and the Cleve- land extremists, in the hope of uniting the party and preventing a bolt. It is believed that Bryan will bolt and form a third party in case he cannot have his way with the platform and a Wall Street" man is the nominee. Parker and German are both showing considerable strength.
 The correspondent says further:
 The efforts of Mir. Bryan and the can- vass of Mir. Hearst have been directed principally at sections which contain a large labor vote. Every city of the South and West has felt the influence of thSe canvass. MT. Bryan has a certain following among organized labor and Mir. Hearst has been catering to that vote for several years.
 The work of both Bryan and Hearst has tended in one direction-of opposing the efforts of the conservatives in the party and of creating even a more rad Zeal element than that which controlled ehe last two conventions, because 1t has brought into the contest a Socialist la Dor class.
 Tn the eastern section of the country, which will supply 274 delegates, no State convention, it is believed, will favor the ideas or the candidacy of any man who is acceptable to Mir. Bryan with the pos gible exception of Rhode Island. MT. Hearst is aiming to get scattering dele gates in nearly every State. but the unit rule. it is said, will prevent him from

DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS.

land Opinion Strong.
 Walter wellman in Chicago Record-Her-
 aid.
 Great interest was shown by public men of both parties today in the news that former Senator Hill had gained the upper hand in the New York State Democratic Committee. This is generally accepted as foreshadowing the probability of Justice PaTker's nomination in tho St. Lolis Convention. Many Democrats Say they are glad that at last there has appeared above the horizon a well-deflned presI- dential movement within their party. They had become somewhat discouraE"d at the apparent lack of interest and the absence of any candidate that aroused discussion and interest Out of the fUs has finally come an effort which w!I serve to rouse the Democracy to actlcn, and. 1t is hoped, enable 1t to throw Off the lethargy which was so heavy upon 1t few days ago. It is a curious fact that in the minds of most public men here. the impression is growing that Jus- tice Parker Is the logical candidate fer the Democrats. Though without public service, apart from his Judicial career, and without views upon great questions which are known to his admirers. neV- ertheless the finger of fate seems to pc pointing to him. Democratic Senators and Representatives. who spend much of their time discussing the availability of proposed candidates. find less that is cb- jectionable in Judge Parker than in any of his rivals. Many of them for some time have been convinced that he is 50 strongly marked by fate and circum- stances that he is morally certain of the nomination. and their confidence, of course, has greatly increased since yes terday. Now that there is a strong prob ability. at least, of his being presented as the candidate of the great State of New York with the unit rule giving him solid. even If not altogether coz dial support it is believed his bloom will grow amazingly throughout the country.
 This feeling that Mir Parker Is to oe the Democratic candidate is not confined to MT. Parker's party. It is shared by many leading Republicans. I have all ready told my readers that a year ago in conversation with me the late Senator Hanna declared his belief that Parker would be the Democratic nominee. He never changed that opinion. Now 1t is l learned President Roosevelt and most of the members of his Cabinet hold the | same opinion. There was discussion of | the Democratic outlook at a dinner par.y | given at the White House last night. an | President Roosevelt dId not conceal lie belief that both of the candidates for J President this year were to hail from

CRIME IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Annual Report Of Attorney General
Parker Filed.

Boston. Jan. 2O-In his report to the
Legislature submitted. today. Attorney
General Parker says that by reason Of
the recent revision of the law relative
to the procedure in murder cases by
permitting indictments for murder in
the second degree it appears that trials
Of murder in the first degree are be-
coming infrequent in Massachusetts.
Mr.. Parker further says:
While | believe the law should still
recognize murder in the first degree as
capital crime. I anticipate that COM
paratively few cases will be SO defined
In Indictments
Mr.. Parker points out that the Leg
islature must take action in the near
future TO relieve the congcSted bust
ness in the superior court and recon-
mends that exclusive original jurisdic-
ton upon petitions for quoting real
estate titles be referred to a court of
land registration. He also recommends
that capital trials be conducted by on"
or more justices of the superior court
instead Of by two or more. Another
recommendation is for the extension OF
the Bertillion system of measurement
and records Of all persons convicted
and committed Oil sentences for felony.
