ed change in the situation, the ticket to
be named by the Democratic national
convention next week will be w. J. Bryan.
Of Nebraska. and Supreme Court Justice

Ny.
The Judge Gray business. in the estlma-
tion Of the New Workers. has been a
forlorn hope from beginning to end Il
is well known that Judge Gray declined
10 be the Vice Presidential candidate on
the ticket headed by Alton 3. Parker four
years ago, and it is believed that II he
declined 20 be Parker's running mate he
would certainly decline TO be Bryan's.
It IS stated this evening that Bryan
some time ago intimated 20 the New
Workers that n they could get together on
Justice Gaynor he could have the nomi-
nation. With this situation clearly in
view, New York Democrats it was as
serted here, within the last few days
called on Justice Gaynor and offered him
the Vice Presidential nomination. and
Justice Gaynor it is added. agreed 70
accept It.
Only last fan Justice Gaynor was re-
elected to the Supreme Court bench OF
Kings County for another term OF four
teen years. He has always been a strong
friend Of Bryan.

Martin w. Littleton Col G. B. McClel-
IAN Harvey. Lewis Nixon. and others that
there is considerable feeling among the
New Workers. over Alton B. ParlIers res
olutions concerning the late Grover Cleve-
land.
Mr.. Murphy Immediately issued n state
ment 20 the effect that Judge Parker's
resolutions represented Parker's feeling
for a personal friend. but that New
York's delegation AT its caucus on Monday
afternoon will decide what expression the
delegation shall make in regard TO the
memory Of the dead ex-President

Mr.. Sheehan. issued the following state
ment:
Regarding the preparation and intro
duction Of resolutions expressing the deep
regret OF all good citizens. whether Dem
ocrats or Republicans. at the recent death
Of Mr.. Cleveland and making formal
recognition by the Democratic party OF
the great services he rendered the coun-
try. 7 have only this 10 say:
1T seemed 20 some members Of the New
York delegation proper that such resoIu-
tions should be presented to the conven-
tion, and peculiarly fitting that they
should emanate from the State which he
served 50 well as governor. and which
gave him to the Union. 10 become one Of
the most honored Of our many great
Presidents

1T also seemed appropriate to some OF
my associates, and I do not hesitate 70
say frankly. TO myself, for reasons that
appear obvious, that I should be the one
TO offer such resolutions. and It was
and is my intention 10 do So Whether
they will take the form indicated in the
tentative draft published in New York
since 1 left there, I cannot say. for the
simple reason that I have had no time TO
study IL carefully. I shall do so as soon
as 1 have the opportunity, and shall en-
body such portions as seem 70 me suit
able in the resolution which 1 hope TO
have the privilege Of Offering
ANY suE retion that my colleagues or
myself wee actuated by any motive
other than desire to pay proper tribute
on a fitting occasion. IS wholly without
foundation. as am confident every fair
minded man will recognize when I shall
have completed the resolutions for sub
