tells its own sweet story:
Mr. Parker is one of Gssto

cotton brokerage business. He
has scores of friends here who
are congratulating him on his
present and prospective happi
ness.

A dispatch from Indianapolis
to The New York Sun says that
“many of the India Democrats

who now recognise the fact that
He will be opposed by Bryan,
with strong probabilities that the

nominated et St. Lonls, are
taming to Mayor George B. Mc
Clellan aa a man upon whom ell
factions in the party could agree
and one who is likely to receive

say such action as this, they ere
exhibiting e degree of silliness

oppose any Democrat who is
nominated. He will boH any
