shall have completed the resolution
for submission to the convention"
NInrplly's Statement.
The statement given out by Mr..
Murphy was as follows:
my attention has Just been called
to an Interview said to have been
given by Judge Parker and to resolu-
tons about Mr.. Cleveland which he
talks of introducing ut the convention.
have not seen or heard OF the resolu-
lions before. They represent. I take It,.
his personal views. but have not been
submitted to a caucus of New York
delegates. and cannot be put forward
as representing the views of the dele
cation. All resolutions or planks Of
fered by New York State will be first
acted upon by a caucus OF delegates.
New York State comes to this con-
vention to bring all delegates together
and to win a victory, and we take
only such action as will bring about
that result. We hope the delegates
from all other parts OF the country are
animated by the same spirit, as in that
way only can an end be put to Repub-
lican misrule.''
The statement by Judge Parker was
made on the Overland Limited train
on the Union Pacific Railroad to a
representative OF the Associated Press.
who met the train at Fort Morgan.
Col, at ! P. NJ. and accompanied the
judge and William F. Sheehan on the
remainder of the journey to Denver.
Judge Parker decided that the state
ment should be issued as formal eS-
preston of his position on the question
OF honoring Mr.. Cleveland's memory.
Speaking informally. he made 1t clear
that he was expressing his own views,
and that his course would be guided
entirely by the wishes Of the majority
of the New York delegation.
AntI-lnjunction Plank.
Skilfully' parrying all questions .re-
lating to his position on the platform,
and declining to give his opinion as
to whether or not he believed Mr.. Bryan
would be nominated, Judge Parker said
emphatically that he would not be
placed in a false light. lie declared
that whatever platform Is adopted by
the convention, and no matter who is
the nominee for President, he would
his power to contribute to its election.
He said that a change of rule is needed
and that he believed there IS general
dissatisfaction throughout the country
with the long continued Republican
administration.
Surprise was expressed by Judge
Parker at the frequent reports from
Lincoln to the effect that Mr.. Bryan
favored the adoption of the Nebraska
anti7injunction plank, declaring for
sucht modification of the law relating
to i15unctlons as will prevent the issue
of writs in industrial disputes without
notice and full hearing; permit trial
by judge other than the one issuing
the writ, and providing for trial by
jury where the alleged contempt is
committed outside the presence Of the
court.
He did not believe that Mr. Bryan
would insist upon going that far, nor
that the convention would accept such
plank. even If Mr.. Bryan should in
sist upon it.
Until a caucus has been held by the
New York delegation, It cannot be said
positively that Judge Parker will be
the member Of the committee on reso-
buttons from the Empire State. He
said to-day that so far as he knew no
members of the delegation had pre-
pared any draft of an anti-injunction
l'plank which they would be willing to
favor, but that the question undoubt-
eddy would be considered.
Try to Nominate Other Mun.
| Neither Judge Parker nor Mr.. Shee-
han has made any effort to disguise
the fact that he would prefer to have
almost any Democrat nominated for
] the presidency than Mr Rryan, but both
| den!ed that they had come to Denver
| with knives up their sleeves for tho
/ Nebraskan. Mr.. Sheehan said he came
lseveral days before tho convention to
Hook over the ground ana see what are
the chances for the nomination of a
! man who will be satisfactory to the
Eastern Democrats, and conferences
! will probably be held with prominent
] Democrats who hold similar Views.
1t was intimatcd that IL it is found
4 that the nomination OF Mr.. Bryan Is
inevitable, they will do their utmost t.
4 have adopted platform which vii
mot ALLEVIATE Eastern, or what has beer
known for several years MS "Cleye.

i Eastern Democrats do not favor thu
Il Nebraska anti-injunction plank, which
