HT ,V -T MT rnRHlI'OM'ENT
Jefferson City. Mo. July IS Grlml de
termined in their espouil of the cause of,
Joseph W. Tolk. the delegates from the
country began to arrive In large numbers
to-day. They were everywhere in evi
dence, and not long after their strength
and their Intentions became clear the pre
liminary defeat of the "michlno" became
apparent.
Kirly to-day mauv expressed the opin
ion that Cook would be nomln-ited on the
first ballot. But the influx of so man of
these farmer-Democrats, fur whom this is
a first o-vpenence at a State convention,
materitllv eh-ingcd the outlook. Big white
bsdges with such declarations as the fol
lowing printed upon them looked signifi
cant: "Folk and a N w De-il, "Folk and
i Clean Sweep" and "Folk and Good Gov
ernment. '
The farm, the city buflness element and
professional rren never before wero so
prcdominantlv represented at a Missouri
convention This is tbe remark of many
n man who has attended many a State
convention
It is an astonishing thing to see the
Washington avenue merchants the 'Tolk
Indians," as thev nre derisively called
hobnobbing, as a part of the new State
house crowd," with the fvrmers, tho
ounger law en and editors, who hitherto
have been on the outside In Elate politics
ALL ELEMENTS PRESENT.
Not that the county and State ring pol
iticians aro abstnt Ihe are here b the
score, minus the one essential upon which
for so long they have had a monopol
votes
In the sene of the crowd present, the
State Convention Is In full swing. The
lobby of th9 Martisoi Is rammed and
Jammed, and everhody Is talking, hand
shaking ,md perspiring. Jefferson City Is
making ever effort to provide satisfac
tory Hi-commcdutlons and has done well
thus far.
Underllng the theme of the nomina
tions to be made here, and the auestlnn
of the probable policies of the new Iolk
regime, lies one subject of convemtlon,
the tone of which probabl has Important
meaning In respect to the rtsults on Mis
souri next November.
It is the national ticket Pa' k-r und
Dav is.
The crowd here Includes all elements
the Congressmen, the county and city
politicians the country and city laweis
and the farmers. Opinions expressed re
flect sentiment as nearly as It can be
reflected at this eail date upon the le
organized Democmc.
ALL I"OR PARKER
As sold, l'arker enthusiasm 1b not on
the surface Hut the Ideas wn'cii were
brought to the capital are more encour
aging than would b expected. That
Parker will carrv the State easllv Is tho
erdict. with the addition that Tolk's
name en the ticket will render tho ma
jority overwiiolming. The following es
timate) of opinion from various sections
of the State comprise an Index to the
situation
John- T. Heard of l'ettls County: "I
have seen and talked with representative
Democrats of all walks of life In my
county, and can sa that I have not
heard one sa that he will not vote that
ticket. They are. perhaps, a little soro
that the Eastern men had such n. walk
over in St. Louis, but they will forget
that In a little while They say that what
was done was the best thing to do. and
while they are free to criticise the Parker
telegram, they, nevertheless, express ad
miration for the courage of the man who
cent it."
Congressman Champ Clark: "I have not
i-een man of the people in my district
T)nF?rotn what I hear, I cannot sec reason
for alarm "
Congressman Dougherty: "Of course,
man of the farmers dislike seeing the
party placed upon a -rold-standard plank
in the way in which It was done. I must
admit that I do not find any great degree
of enthusiasm for the ticket, but I be
lieve that they think the ticket and the
platform a lot better than the Republican
ticket and platform."
Judge W. N. Evans of West Plains: "I
have talked with many of the farmers
toth here and down In my section of the
btate, and though, as one always will, I
found many growlers, not one whom I
have met las svld that ho will not vote
the ticket. I believo that the Democrats
are v holly satisfied with tho ticket In Mis
souri, and that the degree of their en
thusiasm will Increase as they begin to
realize a truly capable man has been
chosen to head the ticket, a man not
dominated by David B Hill or an body
else. With Folk and a clean State ticket
Parker will earn Missouri by an unpre
cedented majorlt."
REUNITED PARTY.
J. M. Atkinson of Ripley Count: "The
more we learn of Judge Parker the more
we are Individually satisfied with the
nomination. I think that Is the opinion,
too, of others besides msclf. I find that
in my district the Democrats either ac
cept the ticket unreservedly or do so as
Bryan accepted it in his statements on the
subject Besides that, wc liave with us
an elemsnt of the party which has been
on the other side for eight years I know
we'll win In Missouri and believe we will
In the countr."
Frank Russell of Laclede County: "The
Democratic vote will be polled for Parker
in my count, and then when ou con
sider that Folk is the State candidate, the
whole question becomes as simple as can
bo In my estimation."'
N. B. Martin of Vernon County: "I am
a farmer mself, and 1 think I know what
I'm talking about when 1 say that we've
been free-silver people from tne beginning
In Vernon Count. But I think the farm
ers of Missouri realize, with the Demo
crats of the East, that the money ques
tion is no longer an Issue. Of course, the
telegram warrled some of us; but on
thinking it over, we've come to the con
clusion that it's all right.
"No, there's not much enthusiasm. But
shouting does not mean voting, and I have
beard every Democrat of Vernon that I've
met say that he sill -rota for Parker."

WaMiington, July IS Secretnr Ch.irli s
. Edwards, Secretary of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee, is in
dignant about a dispatch sent out from
Indianapolis last Friday purporting to
give an expression of his views on the ac
tion of the Democratic party in turning
from free silver.
The dispat-h in question stated that
Representative- Cowherd Of Missouri,
chairman -of the committee, and Secretar
Edwards both "were gnevounlv disap
pointed over the action of the nominee for
President In Injecting the gold .standard
in the platform " r
It went-on to say that Mr. Cowherd had
refrained from publicly expressing his
views, but Secretary Edwards declared
emphatically the night the party turned
from free silver to the gold standard that
it would be Impossible for the Democrats
to win the House of Representatives on
such a platform. Th" dispitch made ref
erence to Se-cretary Edwards. saIng tint
the latter was read to prvdict that sev
eral Democratic nominees In close con
gressional districts would decline to run
on the Parkor gold-stand ird platform
"Those statements, said Secretary Ed
wards to-day, "have absolutel no foun
dation. I cannot imagine how any news
paper man would have tho. audiclty to
send out from Inditnarolis a dispatch
purporting to state nij vnws
"1 haen't stopped In Indianapolis since
I can remember, and et I find mself
quoted in the pliers as saing the Demo
crats have no chuncc to win the House. I
have niver made an iuch statement. It
would be absurd for me to do so
"In the name of Mr. Cowlieid and my
self, I want to say that the dispatch from
Indianapolis is the result of some fertile
im urination; that It has not a particle of
trutht In It. It does Mr. Cowherd and my
self a gross injustice."
