Tho story which we published nearly
a week since Of The nlans Of certain or
the Democratic leaders to prevent the
further pledglng Of delegates TO Parker,
Is being justified by daily developments.
Parker viii get a few more delegates.
but viii go 10 81 Louis with only about
a third OF the number required 10 noml-
nate.
The Maryland convention yesterday
was the centre Of interest. because it
was felt that the action there would
reveal Germans hand. 1t is worthy
Of npte. then, that the Maryland leader
requested that the delegation be not
instructed for him, but left to make a
decision after reaching ST. Louis. This
IS IN harmony with the plan outlined,

states uuhampered by any promises.
This probably means the selection
of dark horse. and it certainly means
that Mr.. German will be a prominent
figure in the convention. Not being a
candidate himself. his advice win be
sought. and he may be able at the
psychological moment TO swing enough

Cross-tre Of Hot Words.
After the meeting adjourned several
OF the councilmen engaged in wordy
disputes. Messrs. Kane and McGov-
ern had little set-to and angry re-
marks were passed. The former said
that all the Democratic councilmen
VINO voted for the resolution were fools
and Mr.. McGovern. hearing the re-
mark, took exception to It.

said the latter. NO. the Lord has
already made one out OF you," retorted
Mr.. Kane.
Mr.. McGovern returned this bv
significantly remarking that he was a
free lance.
Messrs. Cannon and Willis IN another
part Of the room exchanged some hot
words but what they were talking
about could not be learned as the dis
pute was all over in a minute.
The Democratic members of the as
.sessment investigating committee are
supporters of William NJ. Connolly for

bers who opposed the resolution are
convinced that the proceeding was a
political move to get even. with the
exception OF Mr.. McCaherty the MEM
bers who opposed the resolution favor
