Considerable criticism has been dl acted at Senator Fairbanks because of his failure to definitely declare his position. All that it has been possible to obtain from him waa a statement that he did not consider the honor one vhlch a man should aeek or decline and It the party wanted him and needed him he would accept , although he vaa not a candidate and would nOt allow the Indiana delegation to express Itself In favor of his nomination.

Cooper Union waa organized tonight at the convention, called by some of those who do not concur in the Parker Instruct Ions given at the New York state convention. W. J. Bryan waa tha principal speaker and when he appeared on the platform waa enthusiastically applauded. Before making hla address be said he would not name hla favorite candidate for president, but he made a savage attack on the and vociferously opposed the nomination of Judge Parker, who was held up as the candidate of the corporations and not of tha people. Judge Samuel Seabury of the city court, who presided, spoke of Parker aa the candidate of the plutocracy. lie advised the meeting to repudiate Parker and urged the sending of a delegation to St Louia to protest against hla nomination and to assure the convention If nominated Parker could not carry the stats of N.--n Ynrk The platform adopted aTTT2 .ectlng opens by condemning tbe ekps. sion policy of the Republican administration. In speaking of the recent Democratic convention, the platform recites that the convention Instructed for Parker by a vote of 801 to 149 and that many of those who voted against this resolution of Instruction represented the Democratic districts of the state, where enthusiastic support of tbe nominee is essential to party success. Tha platform goes on to say that Parker's candidacy is discredited by the character of hie sponsors and that neither be nor those who spoke for him have presented hla candidacy ao aa to deserve success. The platform continues: Senator "Judge Parker la silent. II111 speaks for him. We know Senator Hill's record. As governor of the state of New York be blocked the secret ballot. Asae nator he opposed hla party's position on tariff and Income tax. The people of New York expressed their opinion of Senator Hill wnen be was beaten for the office of Governor in 1894, by 166.000 votes. Neither harmony, confidence nor success can now follow hla discredited leadership." The platform continues by saying that Parker waa elected chief Justice of New York in 1898, because the name of hla opponent did not appear on the ballot of tha Citizens Union In New York city and then says: "Judge Parker is the candidate of tariff beneficiaries, imperialists, monopolists and those who profit by special privileges and seek to uphold them aa vested rights. The present Issue la whether the beneficiaries shall govern the people or whether It shall be administered for the protection of the rights of all tbe people." Tbe party should refuse to follow the leadership of such men aa August Belmont, declares the resolutions, adding that the Albany platform failed a single Issue wrth Republican policies contained no denunciation of "President Roosevelt's usurpation of power." no reference to the breach of faith with Colombia, no opposition to the government of colonies by Ibis republic and no condemnation or monopolies in private hands. Tbe platform adopted tonight denounces the protection of monopoly by tariff and concludes: "Be It resolved. Thst a committee of twenty-dive- , of which the rhalr shall be one, be appointed by the chair, to present this protest to the St. Louis convention." In the course of the resolutions this declarations is made aa to candidate: The candidate of tbe Democratic party must be a man who has stated hla principles and can be trusted to apply them with firmness and courage. When Mr. Bryaa arose he was given an ovation. In part be said: "I want to rey that until you have an election at which Judge Parker gets more votes than I did I shall Insist on coming back here. I am entitled to say that the doctrine which we cherish in the west are not ao unpopular here The great question thla year la not the money question, but It Is whether we are to hare a plutocracy or a Democracy. My own position has been and will be that I shall notaitempt to decide upon the availability of Mr. Hcaret or others. All 1 ask j that we have a man on whom there la not a taint of monopoly.
