TILLMAN is FOR GRAY.
He Gives His Reason in His Usual Luz
cid and Forcible Style.
(By the Associated Press.)


st. Louis, Mo-, July 4.-"Because he
is a straighout Democrat, of the open
and above-board type, man VINO
stands for. the Democracy which has
come down to us from the fathers and
is. in my opinion, far and away the
strongest man whom the Democrats
can put in the field l heartily favor
the nomination of Judge George Gray,
of Delaware, for the Presidency, said
Senator Tillman, OF South CafolIna,
tonight.
SIN speaking of Judge Gray, / know
whereof 1 speak," continued the Sen
ator. 81 served with him in the Sen
ate and we in the Senate can testify
to his ability, his integrity and his
many other qualifications for the Pres
idency. He stands for and represents
those very principles which the Dem
ocrats need to put forward in the COM
ing compaign and for which the peo-
pie of this country are looking.
"Until the South Carolina delegation
gets here tomorrow and organizes l
cannot presume to say what they will
decide to do. | shall tell them my
views and we will consider the matter
in the light of events which develop
by tomorrow. Without drawing any
comparisons, I am of the opinion that
Mr.. Gray would get all the support
Judge Parker has. Judge Parker is
undoubtedly in the lead thus far, but
he has not the necessary two-thirds
and at this moment we would be ig-
noring Democratic history who would

was an absolute certainty
Regarding the platform Senator
Tillman said:

years eggs in last years bird nest
we need a new nest and a new set o.
eggs. You ask me about Mr.. Cleve-
land. The Democrats will not dare
sound that mans name in the conven-
ton for President because the how
of rage which would be aroused would
drown everything else"

should be the final settlement of the
financial question and of vital inn
portance in the next general cleo
ton
Leave 1t To Hill, Says Cochran.
Mr.. Cochran, in speaking to his
resolution and urging its adoption,
said that the financial question as
presented in the two last national
platforms had been discarded by the
PEOPLE and that this decision should
be the basis of the financial plank in
the new platform. George Raines, of
Rochester, opposed Mr.. Cochran's mo-
ton He argued that there was no
reason for an extremely radical course
on the plank, but said he had no spe-
cial ideas on the question himself, and
believed that the matter could be
safely left in the hands of Senator
Hill He moved that it be referred to
Senator Hill with power to act. This
was adopted by vote of so to &c.
The meeting adjourned subject to
the call Of the chairman.
After adjournment, Delegate Bird
S. Coler said:
ut is perfectly evident that Senator
Hill and his following do not intend
to take q definite stand on the money
question. They are going to take a
nalI way course so as not TO tnOf-
oughly displease Mr.. Bryan and his
small following
Leader Charles F. Murphy, of Tam
many Hall, was asked if there was
any truth in the statement that Tam
many had decided to withdraw its OPP
position to Judge Parker. He said:
1--WE have not announced any such
decision, but those who have candi-
dates other than Judge Parker in
the convention seem to be afraid to
take the initiative in forcing their
candidates to the front and / don't
know why we should bother to assist
them. Some people are sadly lacking
in backbone
Lewis Nixon, Charles A. Townc
and several other Tammany men
close to the chief nodded in acquiesc-
ence when asked if Tammany had
cleased to actively fight Judge Parker.
The Tammany people are so confident
that things are going to run smoothly
that they have practically decided to
order their special trains to leave
Friday afternoon, anticipating that
the convention will be over at that
time.

of the Nebraska delegation today w.
j. Bryan was appointed to represent
the Committee on Resolutions and
there was some discussion on the po-
sition the State shall assume on the
platform. Mr. Bryan's contention
will be for the reaffirmation of the
Kansas City platform, but the dele
CATION recognizes the improbability of
securing such a stand. The discussion
was therefore devoted largely to the
consideration of what to do in that
event. No conclusion was reached,
but the tendency is to accept the
situation if fairly liberal declarations
can be secured, as it is believed there
can be. In that event Mr.. Bryan
will probably not make a platform
fight on the convention floor. He has
not formally declared his position,
but his fellow delegates thus inter-
pref it.

the Wisconsin delegation will vote for
the nomination of Edward G. Wall

The delegation will carry out the
instructions of the delegates to the
State convention elected by the Dem.
ocrats of Wisconsin and these mi

EARLIER EVENTS OF THE DAY.
A Blow Delivered by Pennsylvania to
FaVOrite Sons.
(By the Associated Press. }

st. Louis, Mo-, July 5.-The day be-
fore the convention broke hot and
murky For the first time the streets
and hotels took on a pre-conVenuon.
air. The early morning trains brought
in belated delegations and marching
clubs and the hotel lobbies and din
ing rooms developed scenes of con-
geSted crowds and accompanying dis
comfort.
The general situation as affecting
the outcome of the convention re-
NAMED unchanged. The strong lead
developed by Parker yesterday, en-
phasized by the action of the Pennsyl-
vania delegation at its late nights SEES
sion, naturally provoked some in
quiry as TO whether a stampede would
follow.
There was some gossip about the
hotel Hobbies that several of the ia
vorite sons would withdraw, during
the day, but this has not taken any
definite shape at this hour. The
Parker managers said last night that
they hoped the instructed states
would hold on the first ballot for their
candidates, but the action of Pennsyl-
vania is admittedly a serious blow
to the efforts of the "fayorite sons
and this morning the air is full OF
suggestions that Hearst and Olney and
Wall should take steps to relieve the
delegates instructed for them. Wheth-
er anything of this kind will be done
remains 10 be seen
Parker's Managers Confident.
The Parker managers are. confident
that the New York man will show
clear majority on the first ballot.
Following the precedent of all former
Democratic National conventions, this
showing would Immediately bring into
line a sufficient number of States give
him the necessary two-thirds of the
total vote of the convention. Such
result, it is urged, would be simply
following the historic record of the
party at their national conclaves.
1t is practically conceded that the
German vote. as a result of Pennsyl-
vana's action, will be cast on the
initial ballot for Parker. If this is
followed by like action on the part
of any other of the recognized candi-
dates then the result may prove, as
some of the leaders assert, in an assur-
ed nomination before the convention
assemblies tomorrow.
Senator German has never been
formally in it, was the reply of Sena-
tor Henry c.. Davis, of West Virginia,
made to a question as to whether
Senator German was out of the Presi-
Dental race. He added that no state
ment can be made as to what German
will do. At the same time it is un-
derstood that the delegation from
West Virginia, Maryland and the Dis
trict of Columbia, which form the
nucleus of the German strength, have
decided to vote for Parker.
1t also is known that Ohio is dis
satisfied with the "favorite son" idea
and will meet at o'clock today with
a view of abandoning Harmon and
voting for Parker.

not look to and weigh the evidence

is to write to Mrs. Joe Person. Char

THE ANTI-PARKER FORCES.
They Keep a Stiff Upper Lip and Talk
of a Test of Strength.
(By the Associated Press

st. Louis July "a number OF
representatives Of the opposition to
Judge Parker met for conference to-
day at Mr. Hearts headquarters at
the jefferson, and after adjournment
gave out the following statement:
after a consultation among the
managers representing the various
candidates and delegates opposed to
the nomination of Judge Parker it
was formally agreed among them that
the nomination of Judge Parker is
impossible. The opposition represents
easily much more than one-third or
the votes in the convention necessary
to prevent a nomination all OF whom
agree not to support Judge Parker's
candidacy under any circumstances.
The discussion in the conference
and elsewhere developed determin-
ed disposition to make a test of
strength on the first ballot at least
before surrendering. The ants claim
that even since the detection of Penn
sylvania they will be able to control
one hundred votes more than the
one-third necessary to prevent Park
er'S nomination, but many OF them
concede the impossibility of maintain
ing their full strength through many
successive ballots unless early inroads
can be made upon the Parker strong
hold.
Evidence of This Danger.
This danger is made evident by
the conditions in the anti-Parker
delegations. 1t is stated, for instance,
that fully one-half the Kansas and
Colorado votes will go to Parker on
the first ballot and Maryland and
West Virginia, which constitute the
seat of Mr.. Germans strength are
ready to go over to the New York
candidate as soon as they can be re-
leased from their pledge to Senator
German.
The West Virginia delegation is
quite at sea because Mr.. German has
not yet indicated his attitude.
Senator Davis is holding them in
line for the Maryland man if they
are needed, but once released all but
two of the delegates will go to Parker.
The claim is made today that Ala
bama will lead off in the vote against
Parker and the hope is expressed that
the example will prove strongly en-
couraging to other delegations whose
inclinations are unfriendly to the New
Yorker.
