THE MOVING FORCES
i'm THE CONVENTION

Nav York. with Ex-senator Murphy for
~, 4. ssociate. md among tho district
delegates from that State arc Patrick
II. McCarren, Charles r. Murphy, Chas.
4 rowne, Burke Cochran and Martin
w. Littlcton. IIX- Senator Fill goes to
from those which four yeatsEago Attend
cd his appearance at kafisusI City. Then,
as now, liEN s,wts' u Hell at large but
his sworn enemy, Richard Croker, con-
trolled the New York delegation and saw
TO It that lie was denied his accustomed
Mace on the platform COMMITTEES. Never
theless he was n leading fayorito with
the convention, and only his stern refusal
to accept the place prevented his nomina-
ton for Vice. President. Hill for a dozen
years coveted Ills partys nomination
for President, and strope for it}withfrarc
5sinsleness Of purpose. but nov that corr
ditions have placed the honor beyond his
CRASH he Is content with the role OF
Warwick, and appears at St. Louis as
tile lender Of tho Parker forces. Hill is
as different from the average as any.
man the public has known IN q century.
lie does not smoke, drink or chew, but
when tho occasion seemed to call for It.
@ 1t is an ancient but oft-conflrmed say
Ing that politics make Nam
.ter nersonal enemies for years. but tho
ipresert moment sees them working hand
in.hand for the nomination Of Parker
McCarrcn. like Hill, is not sentiment
talist In politics. SIX feet two In his
socks, and with 4 n clean-slaNcn face
that reminds one OF both Kclar the
magician, and the late Bill Nye, the man
from Brooklyn is considered ono Of the
cleverest propositions in Democratic,
boots to-day. He has been lii the Senate
and Assembly OF New y DIRK for a quarter
5of d; century, and knows every Democrat
Of moment In the State. Those who
know him say that he has never broken
a promise or betrayed a faith, and, while
keeping his word he knows also how TO
plan and win victories ~ Last year he
carried Brooklyn for tho Democrats when
the wisest wcro predicting that the Repub-3
licans would sweep It with from twenty
to forty thousand. He said he would
carry It by fifteen hundred. and. though
the talking and betting We're all the othar
way, the finale confirmed the faith that
was within him, for he not only carried
Brooklyn by sixteen hundred. but also
won $4,000 insswegers. Should Parker
be the conventio selection. snot little
.of5 the credit for such a result will belong
