The largest crowd of Democrats that ever went from New Tork to attend a Democratic Na tional Convention will go to St Louis next month. "And we will be the most Inharmonious bunch In the world, at that" truthfully remarked a Tammany district leader. First of all, Tammany will be repre sented by over 600 men, officeholders and others, every one pledged to talk and work against Parker. They cannot vote against him, as the delegation Is pledged. 'xhen the Parker boomers have arranged to send over 300 men, all of whom will say harsh things against Tammany. Last of all, the Hearst boomers will be on hand, and the present indications are that they will number fully 300. Endless Chain of Discord. It promises to be an endless chain of discord. Tammany will attack Parker and pralso McClellan: the Hill men will praise Parker and attack McClellan; while the Hearst men will impartially roast ev erybody except the "Friend of the Peo ple." Grover Cleveland has come to the front with an Interview, declaring Parker to be his choice for the nomination, and, strange to say, his words have given great satis faction to all the friends of all the candi dates. The Parker men think It strength ens the Judge, while the Hearstltes and the Tammany contingent are satisfied that tho foes of Cleveland throughout the Union will bitterly oppose any one he may indorse. Of course, some class of astute poli ticians are really being badly deceived. but which class Is It? One thing Is cer tain, they are all thoroughly satisfied and glad that Cleveland has spoken. Argument of Murphy. In an Interview given out by a man who is vers close to Leader Charles F. Mur- phy tho statement is made that Murphy Intends to warn the delegates at St Louis that Parker's nomination means disaster and defeat Ho then goes on to say: "Murphy Is absolutely certain that Parker cannot carry New Tork, and that the Parker sentiment Is nothing but an artificially stimulated sentiment, created by the money of Belmont and the chl canery of Hill, and that Parker, while personally a most estimable gentleman. with a olameless record, can inspire no enthusiasm and offer no record to the party which would warrant his election. "Moreover, his nomination would mean a continuation of the vindictive and ma llgnant warfare of David B. Hill on Tammany Hall, and would result In the hopeless and Inevitable loss of the Btate. "It would mean that Hill would try to build up a new organization to supplant Tammany Hall, and If any one expects us to submit tamely, as well as to Indorse our own annihilation, he will be disap pointed. For tho nomination of Parker means our annihilation, and nothing short of It and for that reason wo are going to fight to the end. "Parker will not be nominated, and he will bo stronger on the first ballot than he will be again In tho Convention, and. therefore, we hope It will not be neces sary for us to make the fight as extreme as we are prepared to make It, If It comes to that contingency. Will Lose New York. "Parker will not have a majority of the votes at any time In the balloting. He cannot under any circumstances, be nominated. We want to make our nom ination not on sentiment hut to win, and we cannot do It by taking a candidate who is pleasant and acceptable to Mr. Hill and Mr. Cleveland. If you take him. you lose New Tork." The foregoing Interview was given out at Atlantic City, while Leader Murphy was there, and with his full approval. Al though made by another man, it is known that it embodies his sentiments. Tammany men realize that they are go ing to lose a lot of votes thl Fall., and they win blame it all on Hill, although It won't be entiely his fault The enthusl- astlc -vray In -which the Tammanylzed po-'1 lice have .shutdown poolrooms and gambling-houses will cost them a great many votes from the sporting fraternity, which trave a sractlcallv unanimous vpte last "Fall tor the Democratic ticket. - ' Gamblers Are Enraged. Tin gamblers are surprised and enraged at the treatment they have received, for New York has been mono of a. closed town under Tammany than It ever was under the Low reform administration. They propose to get even by 'voting the Republican ticket this year! We don't care who Is President, Gov ernor or Mayor," declared one of a num ber of the fraternity who make the Ross- more Hotel their, headquarters. "But what we do want Is to be able to make a living. By voting the Republican ticket we will show Tammany what It may ex-' pect In 1906, unless they loosen up, and I guess they will take the hint" This undoubtedly means a good many votes for Roosevelt which he Isn't look ing for and, under ordinary circum stances, wouldn't get. It's Just another Il lustration of Roosevelt luck. The race for a Gubernatorial candidate on the Republican ticket Is beginning to get strenuous, and it looks now as if a'man of National prominence- would be named. Senator Piatt has already como out In In terviews advocating the nomination of ex-Secretary of "War Ellhu Root;- who Is not and never was a Piatt man by any manner of means. Governor OdelTa hur ried trip abroad is said to be for the pur pose of inducing Joseph Choats, -Ambas sador to England, or General Horace Por ter, Ambassador to France, to make the race. Any one of these three would unite the party and strengthen the "National ticket Immensely and ordinary Republicans are hoping and praying that one of the trio will head Ihe slate ticket this Fall. In fact It Is apparent that the differences In the Republican party are sinking fur ther out of eight every day and the or ganization is in a shape to make" an ag- grefesive and successful fight In the Em pire State, while In the Democratic camp the spirit of dlssenslbn Is growing, and the indications are that no matter who they name as candidate he will be badly cut at the polls'. It is now better than even betting that Roosevelt will carry New Tork by a comfortable majority. MLNEBS ACT FOE MOYER. Senators Will Be Asked to Ask Roose velt to Release Him. DENVER, June 4.

And the par ticular holes they were particularly anxious to pick In the Republican ticket were those to be occupied by John Man ning and Tom "Word, Democratic nominees for District Attorney and Sheriff.

All were there but Tom "Word; but J. E.

He ended with an en comium on them both and Introduced John Manning by doing so.

Mr. Stone, who Is a candidate on the Prohibition ticket for Congress, said in Dart: "When I got home from my recent trip I found that during my absence I had been nominated for Congress, and my little clrl asked me: Papa. we don't In tend to live In Washington, do we?

Socialists Pour Out Argument Amid Outburst of Democratic Enthusiasm. Amid echoed strains of Democratic music and Democratic shouts floating in through the windows from a passing parade, the Socialist rally was called to order in Alisky Hall last night The Democrats made so much racket that the Socialists had to take a reces3 for few moments and the sneaker paid his l spects to the water pitcher, but when the procession had passed the bociaiists were still in the ring and ready for the fray. Socialist principles were expounded by two speakers and their remarks -were roundly applauded by tho small crowd of enthusiasts pres ent The first speaker was A. McFadden, who said Tie understood tho Portland Socialists were against the direct prf marles election law and he believed they were laboring under a misappre hension on two points. One was that If the law were passed it would shut the Socialists out of the political field, and the second one was that if 'any one of them signed a petition to nominate any one he would be bound to support that man and his party, regardless of what the party might be. The speaker thought that no such conditions would bo Imposed by the proposed law. The mam speaker of the evening was Dr. H. F. Titus, of Seattle, editor of the Socialist paper at that place. He thought the primary law was a bad one for the Socialists, for In Minnesota It had practically legislated the Social ist party off the tickets and mado it possible for any person who declared himself a Socialist to get Into the party. That he said, was against the princi ples of the party, for It wanted only those who had the Interests of the party at heart to have any voice in its ac tions. Dr. Titus referred to conditions Jn Colorado, saying that tho Socialist party was being "cussed" by tho capi talists and laboring men and accused of being responsible for all the trouble there. This, he said, was wrong, but nevertheless the worklngmen were thinking of turning to the Democratic party for relief. Mr. Titus likened the laboring man of Colorado to the hero In the story "The Lady or the Tiger." The laboring man, he said, stood before two doors with a key, the ballot In his hand. Behind one door was the Demo cratic tiger waiting to devour him; behind tho other was the lady. Success and happiness, represented In the So cialist party. Which door would he open? ,The speaker said that If the worklngman knew what was to his In terests he would surely open the door behind which tho Socialist party lay. Charged With Insanity. Bert Banks, at one time a well-known young man of The Dalles, but for the past few years a Chinese gin fiend who eked out an existence playing pianos In South Portland saloons, was taken to the Police Station at an early hour this morning and charged with Insanity, by Special Officer Hennlnger.

THE GENUINE IS' SPORT SHOT IN GAB Caesar Young, the Turfman,, - Meets mysterious Death. WOMAN WITH .HIM IS HELD Bookmaker Is on His Way to Pier to .Join His .Wife on Europe-Bound Steamer When Life Is Ended. NEW TORK, June 4. Frank T. Toung, known on the turf as Caesar Toung, bookmaker, horseowner -and stockholder In Pacific Coast racetracks, was shot and killed in a hansom cab today while on his way to the White Star Line pier to Join his wife, with whom Be was to have sailed for Europe. Mrs. Toung was wait ing at the pier when news of her hus band's death reached her. At first the death was reported as a suicide, but various circumstances, caused the police later to change their views. With Toung in the cab when a policeman was called, was Mrs. Nan "Patterson, for merly an actress, whose stage name was "Nan Randolph." She Is said to be a member of the original Florodora sextet. She told the policeman that Toung had shot himself after announcing to her he was about to go to Europe, to be gono probably for several months. The police man, told the Coroner, however, that the revolver was In the man's pocket and that he did not believe Toung could have put It there after shooting himself. Toung died about five minutes after the police man first saw hhri. The woman was taken to a poUce station, where, she col lapsed. There was a remarkable scene In the station when Toung"s partner, a man named MlUIn. called. He said Toung never carried a revolver and that he did not believe death was due to a self inflicted wound. Mlllln said that Toung. who came here from England ten to 15 years ago a poor man, was worth more than 5500,000. Partner Rushes at Woman. Shortly after Mlllln made this 'state ment, Mrs. Patterson was brought In to j be taken to the Coroner's office. Mlllln was leaning against the ran when he Baw her. He started at her with a. rush. She shrank back against a detective. Mll lln again rushed at her, but two or three detectives grabbed him and held him until the woman was out of sight Mlllln shquted at her as she left the station house. The woman was taken to Coroner Brown's private office and closeted with him. While, there Mlllln appeared. He tried to break In the room and get at tho woman again, but was prevented. He called the woman names and shouted he would kill her If he had a weapon. Mrs. Patterson made a statement to the Coroner. She said sne was a niece of tne cashier of a leading New Tork bank. Continuing, Mrs. Patterson said she heard a muffled report directly after Toung had told her he was going to leave her. She said she did not sea any pistol. She said she believed he shot- himself with the pistol In hl3 coat pocket It developed In Mrs. Patterson's state ment to the coroner that on her way down town Toung stopped at a bat store and bought a new hat. Thd ball in which Mrs. Patterson was held was at first fixed at $1000, she being held as a witness, but this was later In creased" to $5000 by the Coroner on the re quest of the police officials. Later in the day the Coroner committed Mrs. Patterson to tho Tombs without ball. There Is no formal accusation made against ' her, however, but the Coroner decided It was better not to commit her as a witness. Mlllln, the partner of Toung, Insisted upon being connected with the case, and was held In 31000 ball as a witness, which he furnished at once. Mrs. Patterson is said to have come from Washington. Wall-fltreet stories were printed about her having made a fortune In the Florodora Company, and to the effect that she would aid her father and return to her family. Less than a month ago a New Tork paper-printed a page review of Young's career under the title, "The Luck of Cae sar Toung." Mrs. Toung Teft the pier when told of TRIAL There are thousands of persons today en joying' good health simply because , they were persuaded to try HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS when their stomachs were weak and their livers and kidneys disordered.

"Mrs. Patterson, met Toung In California, and;lt Is understood she came East about the same time he did. - At one - time she was on the -stage, and. It Is said, had a place in one of x the "Florodora." compa nies. According to Tom Toupss friends, the trip to. Europe was planned to break off his acquaintance with Mrs. Patterson. The patrolman who first knew of the shooting said that when he looked into the cab he did not see Toung at first Then Toung was seen lying In the woman's lap. The patrolman said he believed Toung- was then dead or nearly so. The pistol w3s not In his hand, but was found in the man's rght-hand pocket The woman was In. a state of collapse and hysterics. The policeman expressed the belief that ToUng. afterthe shooting, was unable to place the pistol in his pocket Mlllln. the partner of Toung, and a life long friend, said Toung never carried a revolver under any circumstances. He said he did not believe that Toung com mitted suicide. The'Coroner later looked over the state ment made by Mrs. Patterson and found some testimony which lie had not made public Mrs. Patterson, in her statement, had said that while riding down West Broadway she heard a muffled pistol shot "How do you. know It was a pistol shot?" the Coroner asked. "Because I took the pistol out of his pocket and put It back again," she an swered. "After the shooting?" "Tes." An autopsy was performed on the body of Toung. At the conclusion of the au topsy the examining physician said lie was unable to say whether the wound was Belf,-lnfllcted or not The bullet entered the body high up on the left side. It held a, downward course, passed through the left lung and lodged In the fourth verte brae. The coat and shirt worn by Toung have been examined In the. Coroner's of fice. There was no trace of powder marks and no bullet hole in the coat pocket in which the pistol was fQund. MANY ELECTION BETS BLADE. Wagers Are Confined -to District At torney and Sheriff Contests.
