TALK AT THE CAPITOL.

CLEVELAND AHEAD, BUT HIS NOMINATION. NOT AS
sURED-oRGANIZING THE FIELD AGAINST THE FA-
voRTTE-vARIoUs BooAs AND BooMLErs.
Some strenuous efforts were made at the House
to-day to turn the tide OF popular sentiment from
Governor Cleveland and throw the Chicago nomin-
alton more fully open to the field. All candidates
were kept pretty well in the background, however
the design apparently being simply to overcome
the New York governors acknowledged advantage
But most OF the House democrats express the opin-
ion that Cleveland will get the nomination, and
SpeculatiOnS generally turn upon the question OF
who will get the second place. The opinion pre-
walls that there ought TO be soldier on the ticket
and Gen. Palmer, OF Illinois, seems TO be spoken OF
most frequently In this connection There are
many, however, who say that IL any Illinois man
Is to be placed on the ticket II must be Col Morr-
son, whom they say fills the bill both as soldier
McDonald and Carlisle are both still freely spoken
OF for second place, though the Indiana DO not
sanction the association OF McDonalds name with
Cleveland's nomination is not conceded on every
hand, though all acknowledge that he now appears
to have the ''calL" The Ohio men. without making
any loud declarations, still cling to the idea OF
nominating Thurman. They say they do not feel
like pushing him forward now, but that he will
have great strength at Chicago. and Il Is not Inn.
does not seem 10 be widespread. however, though
IT Is confessed that the Ohio statesman would likely
make q good run IL nominated.
Mr. Mutchler voiced the spirit of the Pennsylva-
MIA delegation when he said TO STAR reporter to
day: IL looks as II Cleveland had the lead In New
York, but am for Randall"
The Randall men siil hope that Cleveland may
be shued on the stage In the interest OF their can
didaJe and are doing considerable quiet work.
They think that II Randall is not pressed now but
comes forward at the proper time he may carry
the convention
Tha McDonald- -Slocum boom grew amazingly as
the day advanced and late In the afternoon IL had
assumed quite respectable proportions Rumors
were circulated to the effect that Cleveland had
fallen on In New York.

mony ana 10 some extent defended Price. the con-

THE KELLOGG CASE,

He thought the question as to whether not Bliss
promised that Price should testify before the
Hutchinson grand jury against Kellogg ought TO be
cleared up, as 1t was an important point He said
Hutchinson and the clerk OF the jury
f had sworn that Bliss promised that frce
did not. Mr. ker said that It was not practicable
al that time to produce Price a witness, because
the government was not in communication with
him. He said that was the last chance 10 indict
Kellogg for the receipt or the drafts and IL Col Bliss
promised testimony that could not be had then the
eyaded by charging Bliss with promising Prices
testimony when IL could not be obtained. then the
jury should be severely condemned. There was a
1alsehood out, he said, and IL ought TO be traced

when he testified that kellogg's name did not APP
pear In the papers submitted TO the grand jury
that that statement was not true: that he Bliss
knew that Kellogg signed the application for an
Increase OF pay on the Walsh route.
ON this point Mr. Ker insisted that Mr.. Bliss had
willfuly misrepresented the facts. In the course
or his testimony, Mr.. ker bore testimony TO the
nlgh character, as men and officials, OF MeSsrs
Woodward, Lyman and Brewster Cameron He ex-
pressed the hope that, no matter what political
changes occur, Mr.. Lyman may be retained as
second assistant postmaster general
Mr. M1lliken-"Civll service reform will probably
do that"

Mr. Ker also impeached Mr. Bliss testimony that
kelloggS name was not mentioned before the first
lor Marchl grand jury. ''why," he said, 'Walshs
testimony was all about Kellogg"
Here MI. Milliken interpoSed that Mr.. Ker was
testifyng to what he did not know personally, and
MI. Van Alstyne accused Mr. Miken OF trying 10
drive Mr. Ker into false position.
MI ker said nobody could drive him into false
