WaSnfngton. June l. Representative Robert F. Broussard of Louisiana, who is in Washington, is confident that Judge Alton Brooks Parker of New York will be nominated at St Louis and elected President Of the United States.
 MT. Broussard has just returned from New York State, whither he went pri- marily as one of the Board of Visitors to the United States Military Academy at West Point. At the conclusion of the visitation, with several other gen. tlement, he stopped on his way south ward at Esopus. the home of Judge Parker.
 Mir Broussard is one of the first of the Southern members of Congress who. when the question of an available Democratic candidate for President be- came a subject of earnest discussion in his party, turned toward the New York Judge and studied him. The Congress- mans investigations of the party and official record of the Judge convinced the Louisiana House member he was on the right line. While what he observed of Judge Parker's bearing under temp tation and provocation to talk was stlll more interesting, Mir. Broussards visit to the Judge appears to have furnished more than confirmatory conclusions. Judge Parker impressed me as a thorough going Democrat" said Mr. ! Broussard. "He looks the superior man that he is. His personality, bearing and conversation are cordial kindly and en- gazing. He is an excellent off-hand talker and considerate listener. He particularly impressed me that he has a sincere regard for the highest inter ests of his party, believing in its basic principles as the best thing for the peo- pie. He is broad enough to practice conserving all interests, but where his party is concerned, and partisanship is fairly admissible. he is staunch par l tisan. .--@s sa.ss-s--esss.i
 Tn my opinion, he measures in full to what we ought to expect. do expect and need. dignity, conservatism and integrity. in the high office of President 1 of the United States. He has his views, gives them most freely and with force I and clearness. I shall not undertake his ideas on any issue. That he will be himself as soon as his own sense of propriety admonishes him that the time has come for him to talk.
 'I have not the slightest doubt that | his entire demeanor under temptation and provocation, friends asking him to satisfy the curious public with his sentiments and those adverse to him using every device to commit him. has l all alOnR been 6S much Dy COh- | sideration of what was best for the party as 1t was the result of his own sagacious prudence and his fidelity to the obligation he conceives that he 1 owes to his position on the bench not to take part in ante-convention poli- | tics.
 Man of Highest Ideals.
 Tt is impossible to come Into con tact with such a man as Judge Parker and not feel that he is a man of the highest ideals. personal or partisanfi as a citizen, patriot or judge, and from these ideals I don't believe any ambi- tion of confidence of success would cause him to swerve in the slightest degree"
 Mir. Broussard expressed a belief that the trouble with Tammany just now as far as he could judge from a short visit to New York City, and conversa- tion with a number of thoughtful men of both parties, was nothing more nor I less than the old, old story of the lead CTS of Tammany striving for vantage ground for prospective patronage on the eve of a Presidential election. That it had been recently quite animated. he believed augued a confidence in Demo- | cratic success at the polls in November 1 When Judge Parker was nominated l at St. Louis. as MT. Broussard said he | believed would be the case, the Tam manites would fall into line with closed ranks and roll up a great majority iu Greater New York for Parker Parker he said, had been their first love for the nomination for Governor; they had re- ferred to him in terms of the highest praise in their minority action at the convention of the 18th of May, and since then nothing had ocurred to mai their admiration of him.
