ton of Judge Parker. The
speakers representing both sides
We'd with one another in their ex-
pressions of admiration for the
distinguished jurist and of their
desire that there should be done
only that which would best pro-
mote his candidacy. Those who
favored the instructions resolu-
ton which came from the ma
jority of the committee contend
ed that the Instructions method
was best calculated to impress
upon other states the sincerity
of New York's support; those
who favored the highly compli-
mentary resolution submitted by
the minority, contended that an
unlnstructed delegation made up
of Judge Parker's friends and
acting under the unit rule was
calculated to exert the greater
influence at St. Louis and they
gave their reasons. All the ad-
vance predictions of sensational
convention fight full of bitter
personal attacks fell to the
ground. However the fight was
carried to the floor of the conven-
ton as Victor Bowling predicted,
but it was entirely devoid of
sensationalism and practically
free from personalities or bitter
ness of any kind.

Appreciative 0. E. S.

The entertainer the o. E.
s. yesterday evening was a sue
cess in every sense of the word.
The music and refreshments
we're wholly enjoyable, and the
GROWING feature of the evening
was the presentation to Uncle"
Charley Launer, of a valuable
pin. The gift was accompanied
by a neat speech by Mr.. J. r.
Green, and all who have had the
pleasure of sitting under the
sound of Mr.. Green s voice, know
more of the perfect diction and
faultless enunciation, which lend
charm to his heartfelt words than
can be told in this limited space.
Mr.. Launer, assisted by w. H.
Halsey, organized the O. E. S.
lodge here, and the gift of yester-
day evening was the expression
of the appreciation of the mem
bers.
May Uncle Charley live long
to wear and enjoy the handsome
EN- b1em.

Albany, N. Y, April IS The
democrats of New York present
to the democracy of the union
the name of Judge Alton Brooks
Parker as their candidate for
president. This action was talk
IN a way that shows Judge Park
er to be the choice of all demo-
cratic elements represented in
its state convention. There was
but one point of difference, one
division, and that had relation
only to the manner in which the
name of this favorite son of New
York should be presented in
St. Louis. 1t was a difference
OF opinion and of judgment as TO
the best means to attain the end
toward which all New York dem
ecrats are moving-the nominal
ton of Parker. The name of
no other candidate was men
toned. The suggestion that any
element of New York's democ-
racy favors any other candidate
was net even remotely or infer
entially made.
NO BITTER FIGHT MADE
