Mack of New York believes that Judge Parker will be nominated in St. Louis for the presidency. Mr. Mack, while attending the meeting of Subcommittee on Arrangements for the Democratic National Convention here, is talking and working for Parker. "Judge Parker will receive seventy -eight votes in the National Convention from New York State," he said yesterday.

"Without boasting or being unduly optimistic, I think that I am not stretching the probabilities when I say that enough other States will cast their full quota of votes for him to insure his nomination on the first ballot. "Some States, like Missouri, for instance, will vote for favorite sons. That is right and proper. Some favorite son must win. I believe, however, that if Judge Parker should not have the necessary two-thirds vote on the first ballot, he will have them on the next one.

It is fortunate that the party has such a man to put forward at this time. "A misunderstanding as to the contest in New York State Convention has raised a doubt regarding the situation there that should be dispelled. Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany leader, favored an uninstructed delegation, as he believed that would serve Judge Parker's interest better than an instructed delegation. He believed that New York should not be put in a position where she could be accused of forcing a candidate upon the National Convention.

"I have here a copy of the resolution which Tammany favored, but which was voted down for definite instructions. The Tammany and defeated resolution was as follows: The Democracy of New York believes that the result of the presidential election now pendIng involves the very existence of constitutional government in the country. In such a grave crisis it has no favor to ask of the party in the nation except the privilege of serving It. That this service may be most effective the delegation here elected is left free to take such action at St. Louis as a majority thereof may.

consider most likely to insure the success of the candidates selected by the National Convention. Realizing, however, that the electoral votes of New York are absolutely essential to Democratic success, we submit to our brethren throughout the country that Alton Parker, A Democrat in the prime of life, has been elected by a majority of over 60,000 to the chief posttion in the judicial system of this State and for over six years has discharged the duties of his high office with such unvarying dignity. shining ability and scrupulous fidelity that, his term were to expire this year, he would undoubtedly be chosen to succeed himself by the concurring votes of all his fellow -citizens. QUESTION OF PLATFORM. "This certainly cannot be called opposition to Judge Parker," said Mr.

Moch. "On the other hand, all of the other prominent party representatives of the State, led by Senator David B. Hill, W. H. Sheehan, Senator McCarren and Senator Murphy of Troy, believed that instructiong would leave no doubt regarding the attitude of New York Democrats.

The primary elections were conducted on that Issue and the convention spoke in consonance with the regult. "There has been some criticism of the platform. We confined ourselves to pointing out some questions that should be discussed in the national platform and let it rest at that. A State convention should not anticipate a national convention. On the paramount questions of reciprocity and revision of the tariff schedule, the trusts, the monetary question, the government of people who have come under our dominion as colonists, the election of United States Senators by direct vote, we in New York belleve that it is wiser and more Democratic to let the National Convention speak." The Subcommittee on Arrangements spent all day yesterday, at the Jefferson Hotel discussing preliminary arrange ments for the convention.

Committeemen Mack of New York State, Campau of Michigan, Johnson of Kansas and Walsh of Iowa received representatives of bustness houses who wished to make bids on tickets, badges, decorations and other necessary equipment for a first-class tional convention. John Schroers of the local committee conferred with the subcommittee concerning the seating of the convention. He presented details which had been drawn up in harmony with the idea of the national committeemen at their last meetIng. At the afternoon session an invitation was received from President D. R.

Francis of the World's Fair asking the members of the subcommittee to participate in the ceremonies of opening day. The invitation was promptly accepted and carriages hired on the spot for the parade. It is thought that the business of the subcommittee will be. finished to-day. No Robert M.

Philadelphia Press Brings Former Governor Forward as Possibility. REPUBLIC SPECIAL Irated." CENTRAL PARKER CLUB OF TEXAS. Resolutions Declare Party Harmony Is Supreme Duty. REPUBLIC SPECIAL Philadelphia, April Philadelphia Press of this morning has a letter from its New York correspondent, in which the suggestion is advanced that the Parker boom is meant as a shield for one large and more formidable, later in the campaign. The correspondent asserts that, a neutral platform once arranged, the difficulty will be to find the right man to place upon it.

Continuing, the correspondent says: "Probably no man is authorized to say that Senator Gorman is convinced that he has found that man, but there are many who do say that they suspect that he has made this discovery and that the man he now hopes to be able to. nominate Is former Governor Francis of Missouri. "The belief is that Governor Francis may be acceptable to those who still look upon Grover Cleveland as the writer and interpreter of the gospel of modern Democracy, since Governor Francis was a member of Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet. Furthermore, he was one of that by no means inconsiderable number of regular Democrats whose personal convictions were not in harmony with the free silver dogma of the Bryan platform.

He was gold as to hig intellect and reasoning capacity, and silver as to his temperament and firm faith in the necessity to party regularity. Furthermore, Governor Francis is looked upon as a very fine type of the citizenship of the Mississippi Valley, respected by business men, possessing the warm affection of the citizens of Missouri, and in that sense altogether available. "In all probability it will rest with Colonel Bryan and those who are still loyal to him to decide whether Governor Francis is to be the Democratic candidate or not. If Colonel Bryan will accept Governor Francis, and if a platform can be written that is offensive nether to the regular organization nor to those whom Bryan calls the reorganizers, then the chances favor the nomination of Governor Francis. Colonel Bryan's speech in Chicago on Saturday, the attitude of Senator Gorman, of exSenator Smith of New Jersey: of Colonel Guffey and the Democratic leaders of the States of the Middle West: the resentment of Tammany, the significant lack of thusiasm in New York for Judge Parker, all these reasons are accepted by men who are worthy to be cailed politicians as strong enough for them to base their belief that Judge Parker cannot be nom- Dallas, April forty prominent Texas Democrats, headed by National Committeeman Johnston, met here to-day and formed the Central Parker Club of Texas.

Dallas was selected as headquarters for campaign work. A lengthy appeal to the Democrats of Texas was adopted, from which the following is taken: "We conceive the supreme Democratic duty of the hour to be party harmony. We stand firmly against any repudiation or disavowal any party policy of the past, but we stand as firmly against the needless revival of factional differences on issues that are not pertinent to the operations of the Government at this time. "In brief we believe that Rooseveitism is the paramount issue of this campaign. We believe that New York is necessary to success We accept and heartily approve the choice of the New York Democracy as the most available man for the cratic presidential GOVERNOR YATES AT QUINCY.
