ST. LOUIS. July 4.—Shouting for Al
ton B. Parker for the Democratic nom
ination for president, the Georgia dele
gation to the national convetion reach
ed St. Loula at 1:30 o’clock this after

without mishap, being marked by the
Parker enthusiasm and the genuine
party harmony that prevailed.
This afternoon they will call at Par
ker headquarters In the Planters after
which they will meet the delegates
from other states In the lobbies. There
has been considerable Interest mani
fested in the Georgia delegates, bccnuse
of the Important part Georgia played
In Parker movement. They were there

delegations from Alabama, Mississippi,
Delaware, North Dakotu, New Hamp
shire, and Virginia. Nearly all of
whom are enthusiastic Parker support
ers.
Each member of the Georgia delega
tion Is regarded as an Important fac
tor In the great national assemblage,
not because he Is a delegate with a
vote, but becauae Georgia was the
pivotal state which turned the entire
South for the movement, which now
looks certain to put a Democratic
president in the white house again.
Only one delegate is absent. Buck
Candler, from the Ninth, was detained
and his place on the delegation Is be
ing well filled by 8. C. Dunlap. Jr.,

ST. LOUIS, July 4.—Parker on the
second ballot, perhaps on the first.
That tonight Is the claim of the people
In charge of the political affairs of the
New’ York candidate. All day long the
Parker opponents have tried to perfect
the programme which W’ould prolong
the balloting and afford an opportunity
to name another candidate, but appar
ently they have not succeeded. Many
combinations have been suggested, but
far they seem to have proven inca
pable of being assembled Into a shape
sufficiently substantial to show the In
dependent and uninstructed delegates
how another candidate can be named.
Men Who nfe supposed to hold the bal
ance of power have asked the Parker
opponents to say what would be done
after Parker hnd been put out of the
race, but tonight they say they have
received no satisfactory answer.
Gorman, Gray and Cleveland have
been suggested, but no one Is prepared
to give assurances that either could
receive the nomination. The mention
of Cleveland has a tendency In some
quarters to solidify the Parker strength,
for many delegates say they do not
want to take oven the slightest chance
of allowing Cleveland a fourth nomina
tion.
While there Is'n very friendly feeling
for Gorman among the Southern dele
gates. Including those who are under
instructions or bound by the unit rule
to vote for Parker, yet the predominat
ing expression from this element Is
that the effort now mnklng In behalf
of the Maryland senntor la too late.
They also point to the fact that when
delegates were being chosen Gorman
gave no sign that he desired the nom
ination. It Is too Much to expect, they
say, that delegates who were chosen
as Parker men, whether under Instruc
tions.or not. will desert him now or at
long aa there Is a possibility of secur
ing his nomination.
The opposition to Judge Parker In Its
effort to tighten the lines and make
aure of holding the delegations now
counted aa opposed to him, have
brought out two new candidates in the
person's of former Governor Pattlson
of Pennsylvania and Gen. Miles. The
opposition lenders appreciate to the ut
most the difficulty of preventing a
stampede to Parker should his lend
become pronouncedly manifest, but
they are counting upon doing this by
appealing to the local pride of the dif
ferent favorite son delegations to hold
i ns long as possible.
No announcement wns given out
from Senator Gormnn tonight and Mr.
Vandhter, who had stnted early In the
day that he expected a communication'
said tonight that he hnd received none.
Mr. Gormbn’a position aa a. conditional
candidate has. however, become so
HI knewn that no form t! M-it. moot
from him.le necessary. His friends
wtlll expect to press his candidacy If
Parker falls of success, nnd In the
meantime they will do all they can
to bring about such n situation.
The wisdom of casting the votes
known to be for Gormnn for other
candidates has been canvassed and
this course practically derided on. It
Is not yet absolutely determined Just
what aspirant will be thus compliment
ed, but the choice lies between Pnttl-
son and Cockrell. The votes absolutely
upder Mr. Gormon’s control are those
of Maryland. West Virginia and the
District of Columbia.
The men who nre talking nbout
Judge Gray are met with the question
where the votes are to be secured to
nominate him.
The delegates with favorite sons as
yet manifest an unwillingness to enter
Into combinations nnd In the interest
of their own candidates they do not
desire to antagonise Parker.
If by chance there Is a deadlock they
all hope to secure votes from the Psrk-
er column in the break up. Nor are the
favorite son delegations such as can
be transferred. In several ensea Park
er Is the second choice of the delegates.
This Is notably true of the votes In
structed for Hearst. It Is not believed
that the editor candidate can control
them for any other candidate, while it
Is evident that quite a large number
from the Northwest are ready to vote
for Parker on the second ballot.
The vigorous declarations of Tam
many leaders to the effect that Parker
could not earn’ New York seemingly
have had little or no effect.
The fact that the day has passed,
without bringing to the fore any figure
around which the anti-Parker element
seems able to rally haa taken a great
deal of life out of the situation. While
the contest over the platform and the
second place on the ticket nfford a
great deal of interest when fought out
in the convention Itself, the majority
of delegates ahd those who come
to see a convention and about
for their favorites are almost wholly
Interested in the head of the ticket.
The result is that an sir of apathy
pervades the lobbies and other places
where the rank and file assemble.
A real contest on the platform Is as
sured. No one yet knows what the
platform will be, but It Is know'n that
the majority draft will prove unsatis
factory to Bryan and his followers and
there nre enough of them to make an
Interesting fight on the floor of the
convention; The developments today
before the national committee also In
dicate that Bryan will be In evidence
when the credentials committee re
ports.
Mr. Bryan was engaged during the
day with callers, many of them rep
day. The day opened clear nnd warm.

ATLANTA. July 4— Citizens of At

are not surprised that he has jumped

of good citizens, he haa skipped out

character he haa performed hero nnd
elsewhere upon many occnnlsons. Ills

row and then get out, leaving the peo
ple to* net lie tho trouble In the best way
that they can An a trouble maker ho
la tho whole cheese, box nnd nil. A
prominent citizen of Albany who wnn
here yesterday, gave It tin his opinion
that the Investigation of the charged
le by Dr. Broughton against Chief
of Police Westbrook will nhow that
there was nothing In them. He nays
that several of the people whose names
were on the petition requesting tho
hoard of police coinmlsslsoners of Al
bany to Investigate the charges made
against Chief Westbrook have had
their nuincs erased from the paper, one
or two of them stating their names
were on the petition without their au
thority.
It In also stnted that. Richard Jordan,
who was assisting Dr. Broughton In
ondurtlng tho revival, has also left
Albany. Jordan and Cruger West
brook, a son of the chief of police, had
a light the same day that his father
used tho cowhide upon Broughton, and
In consequence there In still a good deni
of 111 feeling between the two.
Dr. Broughton addressed his audience
nt the Tabernacle last night upon (he
evils of professional baseball. His ob
jection to the game was that playing
baseball called upon the men for more
phvslcal ability thnn they could.deliver,
and that besides many of them received
more money for playing hall than min
isters for preaching. In this way he
said manual labor commanded more
money thnn mental Intior, which was
not right. Saturday Inst It *na very
widely advertised that Dr. Broughton
would on Sunday night open up his
guns on professional baseball.
On a card headed "Ho. Baseball

Tootera Specially Invited," Dr. Brough
ton invites the fans of the city to hear
him pay his respects to "The Modern
