PARKER of New York. For Vice-President HENRY Ci. DAVIS of West Virginia The Decatur Democrat says the man who will be named as national chairman by the democrats is Maurice Minton of New York the original Parker man.—Columbia City PostIt comes from nnoffical sources that Piesidentand Candidate Roosevelt has just realized that a real political battle is on and that his hide is ont safe. The hardest sort of campaign work is now thought necessary if the day is saved. Tomorrow the Democrats of Indiana will nominate a state ticket at Indianapolis.—Berne Witness. The Witness is somewhat premature. This state occasion will occur on August 3, 1904. Walter Wellman is already talking of the g. o. p. troubles in raising campaign boodle and without this weapon of war what can they do. In 1596 Senator Hanna distributed six million dollars and now they are even pray ng for two miUon without success. The New Y’ork conference revealed a continued chapter of that brand of harmony that was so much in evidence during the St. Louis convention. Eastern and western leaders met and for two: hours discussed important phases of the campaign. They all agree and this agreement confirms earlier reports that the democratic party will make the effort of their lives in the memorable camjiaign of 1904. According to advices from the New York conference the selection of a national chairman will be left to the sweet will of the individual members of the national committee Thisl)eing true the Hon. T. Taggart is sure of selection of this important place. The national committee have ulreadv indorsed him and the only thing that kept them from electing him was thedesire of a few to consult the wishes of Judge Parker. the presidential nominee.
