cratic party managers have decided to
nominate Postmaster General Don NJ. Dick
lnson for Vice President 1t is said by a
gentleman who is in position to know
what IS going on in administration circles
that William H. Barnum, chairman of the
national committee, and Senator German,
VINO is his probable successor, William L.
Scott, the mouthpiece of the President, and
several prominent members of the New
York delegation had a conference on this
matter in this city, and practically arranged
the programme for Mr.. Dickinson's nomi-
nation. The Postmaster General knows
nothing of what has taken place, and the
gentlemen named have no assurances that
he would accept the nomination.
A friend of his says, however, that If the
nomination should come to him as the unan
imous call of his party, he would not decline,
although he would reluctantly leave his
present position. The warm friendship of
the President for Mr.. Dickinson is well
known, and there is no man in the Demo
cratic party whom Mr. Cleveland would
prefer more to see on the ticket with him.
The President has also had his eye on
Michigan for a long time as a State that
should be Democratic and that could be
made so this fall if the campaign is properly
conducted with the proper man on the
ticket

been quite i'll, hopes to be on duty to-mor-

CONGRESS WAY BEHIND TIME.
Ten OF the Appropriation Bills Yet

Ten of the Appropriation Bills Yet
Unconsidered by the Senate.
WASHINGTON. June 3.-The Senate Com
mittee on Appropriations has yet to con-
slider ten of the regular annual appropria-
tion bills, and under the most favorable
circumstances the work could not be done
in the time yet remaining of the pres
ent fiscal year. 1t is expected that
the consular and diplomatic bill will be con-
sidered by the committee on Monday, and
that it will be reported and taken up by the
Senate for action before the end of the
week, but no other action on matters of
general interest is expected during conven-
ton week
Senator Cullom will address the Senate
tomorrow on the proposed amendments TO
the interstate commerce law, and other
Senators may take occasion to deliver pre-
pared speeches on measures of general
legislation; but it is probable that mot Of
the time will be devoted TO the considera-
tion of 'unobiected cases" on the calendar.
It is Chairman Mills intention to call up
the tariff bill again tomorrow, and press
its consideration in the House throughout
the week. The only appropriation bill now
on the calendar, the army appropriation
bill, may be allowed to pass, but little other
general business is likely to be transacted

they are likely to Join forces in defeating

no candidate for chairman against Senator
Gorman, but will do so tomorrow.
THE NATIONAL COMMITTEES CHAIRMAN.
Congressman Scott will, doubtless, be
elected chairman of the national commit
tee, and have personal charge of the cam
paign. To an Associated Press reporter Mr.
Scott said tonight that nothing had been
settled as to tho platform, or as to the
Chairman Of the Committee on Resolutions
When questioned as to the movement for
Judge Thurman and the Vice Presidency,
Mr.. Scott said that the sentiment in favor
OF the Ohioan was steadily gaining ground
But" he added, ''all this may be changed
later. There are not enough delegates here
yet to enable one to predict anything, and
all the present calculations may be upset
ana to-day's indications changed.
OPPOSITION TO THE MILLS BILL.
Strong opposition to the Endorsement of
the Mills tariff bill is manifested to-day by
conservative members of the national COM
mlttee. These gentlemen favor the adoption
OF resolutions sustaining the tariff plank
IN the platform of 1884, and SO drawn as to
cover the general policy of tariff reduction
recommended in the last annual message of
President Cleveland; but they express
themselves as strongly opposed to specific
mention of the Mills bill, or any other
measure for tariff reduction.
This question has been the subject of
lengthy informal conferences to-day among
the various members, and while the Mills
adherents evince determination to have
that measure indorsed in the resolution,
the opposition is so formidable at this time
as to seem insurmountable.

and West Virginia tonight saying that the
votes of those States would be cast solidly
for Thurman.
The Texas delegation arrived here this
morning. Gov. Throckmorton, who heads
the delegation, found a letter from Con-
gresham Mills awaiting him, in which
Mr.. Mills requests that his name
be not presented tor Vice President.
The Texas delegation had been instructed
to vote for Mr.. Mills, but in view of this
letter will not present his name, and from
interviews tonight with dozen members
of the delegation it Is probable that Texas
Will cast her solid vote for Judge Thurman.

ATLANTA, GA, June 3.-The Georgia
and South Carolina delegation to the Ma
tional Democratic Convention left Atlanta
this morning at o'clock for St. Louis
They go by the Louisville and Nashville
route, and will reach their destination early
ip the morning.
The Georgia delegation left in jolly
humor, and were of the opinion that If
Judge Thurmun wanted it he was the man
for second place. They will all vote for
him except Pope Barrow, who opposes him
on account of his attack on his father-in-
law.
With Judge Thurman out of the way Gov.
Gray would get all the Georgia delegation.
The South Carolina delegation came up
this morning and joined the Georgians.
They are headed by F. w. Dawson of the
Charleston Ne1OS and Courier. This dele
cation also favors Judge Thurman for sec
ond place, and for second choice either
Gen. Black or Gov. Gray.
Both delegations left well supplied with
the luxuries which usually are necessary on
such trips They are a fine representation
of the Southern Democracy, and will, no
doubt, shed lustre on their respective States.
