BRYAN LOST OUT IN FIGHT AGAINST PARKER.

New Yorker Characterized as Reactionary Chosen Temporary Chair- " man by National Committee.

Alton B. Parker, who was defeated for the presidency eight years ago, after incurring the displeasure of

William Jennings Bryan by declaring that he would not run for president on a platform that declared for the free and unlimited coinage of silver, and agaifist whose selection as temporary chairman of the national convention at Baltimore, Bryan issued a protest, was chosen the chairman by the national committee Monday evening.

Bryan termed Parker a reactionary and said that the progressives of his party should prevent his selection. To try to effect this he rushed to Chicago last Saturday night and took charge of the progressives but he was 'unable to defeat Parker, whose selection by the subcommittee on arrangements was confirmed by the national committee. Parker received 31 votes, Ollie James, of Kentucky, received 20 and Senator O’Gorman, of New York, received 2. Ollie James is a senator-elect from Kentucky and was the man Bryan favored for the place.

Bryan is the great centeral figure of the hour at Baltimore. He is as magnetic as he wag in 1896 when he conquered the Chicago convention with his “cross of gold and crown of thorns” oratory. He is probably just as willing ’now as he was then and ’ a little more anxious, because he figures that the break In the republican ranks will offer an opportunity for democratic success that he -would hate to have leave him outsidethe breastworks.

While a bare majority is all that republicans require to nominate, the democrats require a two-thirds majority, which means that the final nominee will have to get two-thirds of all votes. It Is net probable that any of the candidates will have that many when the first vote is taken. The longer the contest, continues the more probability there is that Bryan will land the nomination.

While the progressives lost out in the selection of a temporary chairman, it is probable that they will con-trol-the convention in both the platform making and the nomination. Bryan has created a Jot of fright among the old guard, the Murphy-Taggart-Sullivan combination and if they ever hitch on the floor of the' convention, Bryan is quite pertain to sway the convention his why. Then he is tolerably certain to do about what he pleases with the delegates and that will mean that his name head to national ticket. While he is still an idol with many in his party, his long string of losses and his tendency toward radicalism will not secure for| him the unanimous support of his - -- ' The convention met this morning. ■'V ' ; ’te'- ffi®
