LEADING DEMOCRATS
don't want Bristow nominated because such q nominal
would BIO ruinous to the hopes OF the democracy
His strength in the South would be too great to DO
overcome. They would like TO Morton Blame
nominated because they extreme men. Their
nomination would individually cement the Southern
masses together and they would work against either
of them tooth and nall" The canvass would be
wrought up to white heat and the democrats would
carry nearly every one Il not quite all Of tho southern
states. But, with Bristow nominated, the great
sentative will turn tho scale and bring dismay
into the ranks of the democracy. sef4
General q. r Thurston, who served in the federal
army and who delegate to the Republican State
Convention, said to-day that he would not give his
consent 10 vote Tor any extreme man. Said hc:--
''Thc great conservative element of tho country
