WHAT LEWIS BAKER THINKS.
Lewis Baker said to me few minutes
ago, u think, oh I know, that the entire
delegation will vote for Tilden II his name
goes before the convention. II bis name
IS not mentioned the delegation will be di.
vided. l will be for Randall. I think
Davis and Vanmeter will vote for Bayard.
Harlow and Hereford will vote for Nc.
Donald and the rest Of the delegation will
be split up among tho others with Cleve-
land in the lead. After Tilden there will
be no concert OF action"
Hon. Charles E. Wells, OF the Second
dlstrict, Is for Randall after Tilden and will
stick to him as long as he has any show.
Hon. David II. Leonard is for Randall
alter Tilden, and will exert all his energies
to bring over the others to his support.
Col. George Thomrson, ef Parkersburp,
Ia very strong for Ti!den, but Ia likely 10 70
over 10 Randall as soon as opportunity
cferp. =s.tl .l-' s IA :
ESTHusIAsTIC RANDALL MEN.
Governor Jackson, who is with the dele
CATION, is a very pronounced Randall man
and is eloquent in his defense and support
Of his favorite's candidacy.
Prof.. John Ii. Birch is the mcst enthusi.
as,ic Randall man on the train, and hes
made many friends by his strong arpu.
ments in favor OF Randall's nomination.
Henry S. Walker is q sort Of negative
Randall man, but thinks that Tilden is the
best man and the most available man in
the party.
The greet fear Of all the delegates is that
Batter will develop great strength in the
convention and he nominated. It is in
teresting to hear the expressions concern
ing the result Of such a calamity.
Joseph Neale, Esq., OF ParkerSburg, said
u would see Butler and the Democratic
party in h before l would vote for him."
Lewis Baker-"Thems my sentiments 10
q dot"
Governor Jacksop-"Here tool"
Col. W. n. Chancellcr-".I would vote
for him before would for Blaine.n
John NJ. Brch-"It would drive me out
Of the party. + believe George William
Cnrtis and the disatfected Republicans and
Democrats would call another convention
before q month and form new party"
1t is likely that ex-senator Davis and
Dir. Vanmetcr will mako q strong effort
to carry the delegation ever to Baysrd, in
which event Baker will take osnd, and
then the delegation will be two for Bayard,
t~o ior McDoaald, and the zest Tor Ran.
