HILL GETTING THEM ALL.
Continued from first page

first session of the convention.
What the outcome of this situation will be is
entirely uncertain but. if Belmont persists IN
his demand for the craftsmanship, Hill may find
1t essential to the Parker interest TO give IN
diana a Vice-Presidential candidate in lieu of
the desired Craftsmanship. That is what makes
Karn's candidacy likely proposition Kern
realizes this and is trying to dissuade Taggart
from insisting Hills making good his prom
Use. but has made progress IN that direc-
ton
Taggart believes that he has earned recog-
nition and the members of the delegation con-
cede It, Against exceptional odds Taggart. who
is valiant fighter and familiar with all the
methods peculiar to the Hoosier Democrats
won the State away from Hearst and Bryan
and placed it safely in the Parker column If
he could get the craftsmanship. the boys would
raise no objection, but If he is the occasion OF
Indianas getting the marble heart both as
to craftsmanship and Vice Presidency. the things
they will do to Taggart will rival the treatment
Tammany accords TO worn out district leader
SOP TO WISCONSIN.
A. Caperton Braxton. of2 Virginia declared
himself in unequivocaI terms this evening In
favor of Edward c. Wall OF Wisconsin, for the
second place the ticket
THE selection OF Mr. Wall would. IN my judg-
ment." said Mr.. Braxton. "be good politics.
The Wisconsin men tell me that the State is by
no means certain to go Democratic, but that
were we to nominate Wall it would be assured
Now why would not it be good politics to in
sure big State like Wisconsin, when it can be
done so easily? 1 take stock in the objec-
tons advanced against Wall
IF we do not take Wall. I think we should
select good Southern man. The woods
are full of great. big. able Southern men, and
1t would be well TO place one of them in second
place, provided the majority cannot see 1t as
1 Go. that the wisest thing do is to tie
Wisconsin to the Parker procession"
There is still some talk OF Folk for Yice-Pres-
ident, but the Missourian adheres TO his position
that he will not accept and that no friend OF hts
will place him in nomination II would afford
pleasure and relief to many Missourians to see
the energetic circuit attorney and persistent
didate for the GOvernorship of this State made
president of the Senate. where he could no longer
probe into their private affairs. But it is not
regarded as likely that they can get rid OF him
in that way.
The Hill-Belmont combination is still founder
ing about for a chairman of the committee on
resolutions. and is from time to time reiterating
its disgust that German failed IT. Senator
Bailey. of Texas. is being seriously considered
for the place. and at this writing seems the
most likely candidate. AS told in these dis
patches last night. Bailey is slated to reply TO
Bryan in any argument the Nebraskan may
make for a minority report from the resolutions
committee. and It is believed probable that he
will be made chairman of the committee. which
would give him the initial right to defend the
majority report.
Since Bailey has become rich he has aban-
doned the faith of the fathers" remarked Bryan
when he learned that the keen Texan was 20

disturbs Bailey. who has informed Mr.. Hill that
he is loaded for bear"
MURPHY SAYS HE IS NOT DEAD YET
Charles F. Murphy. the somewhat dazed and
dishgured leader OF Tammany said tonight as
Davy Crockett once remarked. that he was not
dead yet. 1t looks 10 all the riders on the
Parker band wagon though Mr.. Murphy
would better get back to Fourteenth-st. before
he loses any more peacock feathers or his yell
low Jacket.
Mr.. Murphy appeared to be clipper tonight
and remarked. carelesslike
My opinion Of the situation has not changed
Certainly my attitude has not. No candidate
has been nominated yet. am sure that Parker
has not enough votes TO nominate. Before say
ing anything further, let us await the result OF
the convention. The action OF that body Will
settle everything. and Tammany will abide by
the result: and follow the Instructions OF the
State convention"
The Tammany men growing more and
more angry. Probably half OF them will be
homeward bound before the nominating speeches
are made. They certain. they say, that the
Parker men using lots of money buy I'M
instructed delegates ono Of Murphy's friends
said tonight that $4,000 had been used for
this purpose but he had nothing In the form Of
facts or details to back up his statement
The ant-Parker combination is making it's
parently resistless advance of the conservative
forces. The managers of the movement say that
they have "assurances' from 374 delegates that
they will remain firm In their opposition To
Parker. and. these votes Will constitute more
than the one-third necessary to prevent a NOM
ination. they assert that they and will dead
lock the convention and eventually force the
nomination Of a candidate acceptable TO the enc
mics OF the New Yorker.
Charles F. Murphy says that he has 364
pledged votes against Parker which is thirty
more than required TO prevent his nomination
under the two-thirds rule. The Tammany lead
er assured delegates from Maryland. West Vir-
ginia and other States who are willing TO enter
any combination having a fighting chance
against Parker. that all that will be necessary
is to stand firm and not be lee away by the
deceptive cry that IL is all but the record
ing Of the votes. He insists that Parker will
not be nominated. and that the second ballot
Will conclusvely demonstrate that the opposition
, to the New York candidate is not only deter
mined and united. but sufficiently formidable to
attract many of the half-hearted Parker sup
pOrters from their distasteful allegiance He
denounces as utterly unwarranted the claim of
