Denver, Col, July g.. Refusing to
be ruffled by the storm of critisms
from the Bryan men which was ar
ouused by his resolutions eulogizing
the late ex-President Cleveland,
Judge Alton p. Parker today issued a
pacific statement intimating his de-
termination to submit to the Demo-
cratic national convention such an
expression as he and his associates
Of the New York delegation regard
as fitting and proper.
In this connection, Charles r. Muir
ply, leader Of Tammany Hall, and
head of the New York delegation
who also arrived here today, an.
nounced that he had never seen the
Parker resolutions; that they did not
represent the views Of the New York
delegation, and that any resolution
to be offered must he submitted to
the caucus Of the state delegation to
be held on Monday. KNEE
Judge Parker would not discuss
the comments BY Henry Watterson
upon his resolutions and in fact he
declines to give his opinion OF any
OF the interviews by prominent Dem
ocrats based upon tentative drafts.
He said, however, that he Is not ir-
revocably committed to the tribute
prepared by him In New York, but
he believes the resolutions adopted
should suitably acknowledge the debt
owed Mr.. Cleveland by the Demo
cratic party. Judge Parker's state.
ment follows:
Regarding the preparation and In
PRODUCTION Of a resolution expressing
deep regret of all good citizens,
whether Democrats or Republicans,
81 at the recent death Of Mr.. Cleve-
land, and making formal recogni-
ton by the Democratic party of the
great service he rendered the coun-
try, have only this to say:
y ut seems to some members OF the
New York delegation proper that
! such resolutions should be present
ed to the convention and peculiarly
fitting that they should & emenate
from the state which he served so
well as governor, and which gave
him to the Union to become one Of
the most honored Of our great pres
4 idents. It also seems appropriate to
some of my associates, and do not
hesitate to say frankly, to myself.
for reasons that appear obvious, that
should be the one to offer such
d resolutions, and it. was and is, my
i intention to do so. Whether they
will take the form indicated by the
tentative draft published in New
York since I left, I cannot say, for
the simple reason, that have not
had time to study it carefully. I
4 shall do SO as soon as have the
opportunity and shall embody such
portions as seem to me suitable in a
resolution which hope to have the
privilege Of offering. rs.
Any suggestion that my coli
leagues or myself were not acuated
by any motive other than a desire
to pay proper tribute on this fitting
occasion, is wholly without founda-
ton, as I am confident that every
firm-minded man will recognize when
"a shall have completed the resolution
for submission to the convention =
The statement given BY MI. MUIR
