In the presidential talk at the Capitol it has de-
Veloped that tie idea OF nominating
EX-SENATOR THURMAN,
OF Ohio Is seriously entertained by leading men of
the party In his behalf 1t is said that he would
certainly rally to his support the entire democratic
vote OF the country and that he would also get the
support Of the whole ant-monopoly element
THAT element" said a prominent democrat, q
delegate-at-large 10 Chicago from a western state
us somewhat communstc. but Ii Is not to be de-
splsed lt Is much larger than many suppose and
Is growing steadily
1t is admitted that Thurman cannot be nomina-
TED unless the Ohio delegation takes him up and
both Payne and Hoadly must be got out OF the way
to bring that about STILL the friends OF Thurmar %
maintain that 1t is capable OF demonstration that
neither Payne nor HOadly stands any chance, and.
a1ter compllmentfng them, they say the delegation
VIII take up Thurman II his friends IN other states
also considered by the Thurman boomers. They do
not believe that even Thurman could beat Blaine
IN tnat state put they say the effect could be dis
counted oy announcing In advance that the demo-
cratS 90 not count upon Ohio.
THE BAYARp MKN
are Still working induStriously, and feel hopeful
They insist that Cleveland will not get the New
York delegation, but that Bayard will have ube-
raj support there. While
Mr.. RANDALLs FRIENDS
hope to see him nominated they do not regard the
prospect as very encouraging. One OF them said
the convention at all 1t will not be unless affairs
take shape that will satisfy his friends he can be
nominated Should the New York men fail to
agree. that may open the way for Randall. The
New York delegation falling TO agree upon man
OF that state may go TO Randall He has some
strong friends among them In that event he Will
win. But the Pennsylvania delegation Will not
place Randall in the field unless they have assur-
anceS OF such support from other quarters as Will
shove him right to the Mont"
CLEVELAND WILL LEAD ON THE FIRST BALLOT.
1t is generally conceded by the politicians at the
House to-day that Cleveland will lead the leld on
the flrst ballot at Chicago. The friends OF the
other candidates claim, however, that this VIII
lessen his chances for securing the two-thrds
necessary for the nomination. They say he Will not
be able to get more than bare mr. joriy of all the
delegates and the result will be that the rest will
combine against and defeat him. This reckoning
is all upon the assumption that he gets the New
York delegation, and there no doubts expressed
to-day about his getting this delegation under the
unit rule. Cleveland'S friends claim that he Will
have seven out OF the nine Brooklyn delegates,
which Will give him not less than 42 OF the 20 dele
gates This, under the unit rule, would give him
the entire state delegation, and, his friends claim
the nomination. They do not, however, deny that
his nomination Will lose to the party large vote
from the labor organic tions In the state, but say
that he can carry the state in spite OF this That
there Will be bolt, they acknowledge but say that
Ceveland's nomination will inspire the business
interests with confidence.
