CHICAGO, February PA Times
Washington special has the follow
ing, which is claimed to be a fair
presentation of Washington gossip
on the latest phase Of the political
situation: The acceptance of JUS
tice Davis, Of the Supreme Court,
of the nomination for the Presl-
dencv by the National Labor Con
vention, has greatly elated his
friends. who are advocating his
claims as an opposing candidate.
and he was to-day the recipient of
many congratulations. This nom
nation, it is understood, will be
pressed upon the Cincinnati Con
vention, pending the event of his
acceptance. by the leaders in that
movement, some of whom expect
the National Democratic Conven
ton to ratify the ticket. Some of
the Democrats, who do not approve
of Justice Davis decision in support
of the constitutionalitv OF the
Legal Tender Act, prefer the nomin-
alton of Senator Irumbull by the
Cincinnati Convention. The greater
majority, however, of the Democrats
here favor an inactive course until
after the Philadelphia and Cincinnati
Conventions. The Republicans, on
the other hand, declare that if the
laboring men of the country intend
to unite on the Davis ticket, 1t will
prove an important movement which
will carry his own State of Illinois
against Grant, but some of them
deny that the wOrkingmen's element
of the Republican party will sup
port that ticket"
