nent politicians thar have met that the fight
will be between Judge Field and Bayard. The

in their opposition to Cleveland. His veto of

NEW YORK. July 2d-The T.ibuuGs Pittsbure ,
special says: Colonel Barr one of the proprie- I
tors of the Post, the only Democratic daily in
Western Pennsylvania, takes no stock in the al
eged New York conference, which is credited =
with having selected Butler as the man who will
take the Irish vote from Blaine. Colonel Barr
has charge of the Randall boom from this end
Of the State. He said plainly to-day: " If But t
Ter should be nominated, l will not vote for |

The Erentn9 Post says: We are able to affirm c
that the Boston HerdldS statement h

FRIENDLY To FIELD. 5
New YORK, July 2d-InquirieS made by your 4
reporter at political headquarters in this city |
and of prominent personal friends OF Judge
Field elected the following: Professor Phelps
Of Yale College says Field. as Il Presidential |
would sweep the country and com !
mand the entire independent vote
George S. Cole, President of the Produce Tx q
be the salvation of the party '
Two prominent wealthy New York Republican 5
called on Cyrus W. Field, urging him 10 advise !
his brother to run. They assured him that Jus !
tice Field would poll the full vote of boiling Re
pubicans.
\ member of the California delegation said he :
would vote at the Convention first for BEuer, 5
next for Field. ;
The New York County Democrc.. are friendly Q
to Field. Several of their e.,Iers who 90 to chi
rago tomorrow have Announced Field as their |
second choice
\ few New York Republicans believe Field q
WoulC more closely contest this State than any
other outside candidate the Democrats could
name because of his sound financial views !
The Boston EreliBq star tomorrow will con !
tain portrait of Judge Field, and say Justice .
Field is to-day thoroughly identified with the !
principles ofthe Democracy. If the Democrats :
want man with a pure record it would seem
that Field would fill the bill. and if they wish
to put forth as candidate Il standard-bearer of ;
high ideas and instincts, and sound judicial !
mind, it would seem as though Stephen J. Field
came now as an inspiration.

WASHINGTON July 2d.--As the time for the Chi )
cago Convention approaches, speculation among
the congressman as to the probable selection of

more and more varied and the situation. from :

lidedly mixed. Every one appears TO have a "
candidate of his own for first choice The Cleve- d
land boom appears to have lost considerable Il =
strength, and Randall in the meantime has been y
gaining. Mcdonald and Slocum for President !
md Vice President respectively, appear to have
OSt supporters during the past week. In the y
senate Bayard still holds the call and his y
rlenQS say that he Is one OF the few :
men who can carry the party to success y
