James Sullivan Clarkson updates William Loeb on powerful influences in the Democratic Party, including Tammany Hall. Conservatives, with former president Grover Cleveland’s support, have retaken the Democratic Party and are nominating Alton B. Parker for president. He suggests an argument that may be effective against Parker’s campaign–namely that he would be indebted to Tammany Hall as president.
