"No compromise half-way plank in the platform In' attempt at-tempt to placate the radicals, but a straightforward declaration Cor sound money," That is the statement that the Dempcratlcjleadera from New'Tork those who, control the majority and therefore the" whole delegation under the unit rule who landed within St, Louis tonight. Former United States that State In the committee on resolutions resolu-tions and will present the sound money plank. When it Is adopted, as he thoroughly thor-oughly believes it will be, It will, In the New York leader's estimation, sound the tocsin for the nomination of Judge Alton B. Parker.

Senator Hill, while not desiring to talk for publication tonight, has during the day expressed the belief that Judge Parker will be chosen on the second ballot, and probably on the first. There Is a growing belief among those of the party arriving today that the Tarn-tainny Tarn-tainny delegates, appreciating the strength of Mr. Parker and' having no argument to present against his fitness, fit-ness, will refrain from opposing him. It is insinuated by some of the party that this harmony may be accomplished accom-plished by promising the nomination for Governor of New York State to Leader Murphy of Tammany for Mayor Mc-Clellan Mc-Clellan or some other person of his choosing. One of the significant movements of the New York State delegation Is the promise to let Norman E. Mack succeed himself as national committeeman, while advocating a sound money plank Mr. , Mack was a stanch Bryan man and a sllverlte In two campaigns. His selection Is believed to mean that there Is little or no fear In New York State that the radical element can do any harm to the Conservative leader, and further, that the original Bryan supporters sup-porters are ready to follow New York's nominee. New York is taking great precautions precau-tions against any tampering with the temporary roll of the convention. Mr. Sheehan tonight transferred to National Na-tional Committeeman Mack four proxies prox-ies of members of the committee who cannot be present on Monday.
