The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1880-06-18

teryieW with VIM n. GWin, at New
York hotel, where he and ex-Goy. IT.
win are stopping. Gwin said: The
delegates Of California, though l am
not n Of them, will. I know, go to
Cincinnati convention a. . unit TO sup
port the nomination Of the man whom
the convention deems most suitable.
We are steady supporters Of the unit
rule. and We intend 70 adhere 10 It all
through. Our preference Is for Field,
and We are supported In that prefer
ence BY Oregon and Nevada, with very
probably Colorado also. On Sunday
next we shall have 4 meeting and then
decide upon what our course shall be.
My own impression Is We shall be able
TO nominate Field; that those four
states are decidedly for Field. Ny own
conviction Is that he Is q political ne
cessity. II we are to win. and ! think
the democracy never had a better chance
Of winning, we must unite upon a man
who will allay all discordant elements
Of the party. Field answer that re-
quirement; lie will carry all the south
ern states unquestionably, and several
Of the western, o that l do not see that
there Is anything to prevent his nomi-
nation. His Chinese decisions occasion
some little trouble, moro perhaps In our
own state than anywhere else. Judge
Field was compelled 10 decide in ac-
cordance with the treaty. II Hayes
had not vetoed the legislation which
was designed to cure this Chinese i'm
migration we should have had no trou-
BILE about II, therefore, as 4 party ques-
ton. that will not stand In the way Of
Fields nomination. I saw Mr.. Tilden,
and had n long talk with him, he says,
that rs far rs he Is concerned, his per-
sonal relations with Fields brother
would not stand In the way with him
II Field is likely 10 be nominated.
What Tilden wants Is for the demo-
cratic party to win, and ! think he viii
sink all personal ambition IL necessary
for that purpose. Tilden Is pretty well
convinced that he himself cannot get
the nomination. II he did, I do not
think we could win with him, and /
believe he thinks 30. Hendricks Is out
OF the question. Ho has been running
for twelve years and has never run into
anything but defeat. don't think he
will be thought Of. As 10 Bayard and
Thurman / know that Tilden will not
consent 10 the nomination OF either OF
them. lie has never forgiven them for
their action In the electoral commission.
lie believes that but for them he would
have been president. Bayard's seces-
sion record Is fatal to his success In
the north. Thurman could not carry
the hard money states because OF his
financial heresies. Neither Of these
men, In other respects very eligible, is
therefore to be thought Of. Sam Ran
dali has already opened house ut Gin
cinnati and thinks he can command the
Tilden vote. In that he Is mistaken.
1 do not think Tilden's vote will 90 to
him. There remain Seymour and
Field, and I think the selection will be
narrowed down TO these two. Seymour,
no doubt, would be q very powerful
but up to the very hour of
balloting It will be uncertain whether
he will accept or not, and that will have
very great influence. The delegates
will not like TO run the risk Of declina-
ton, and therefore / think they will vote
for a man whom they know will accept.
That nan Is Field, and In my Judgment
he Is the only available man in the
present EFFICIENCY.
