yention. They present Mr.. Stephen NJ.
White, OF Los Angeles, rs a competent
presiding officer, and a representative Pa
citic coast man, for the honor of holding
the gavel during the preliminary proceed
lngs OF the convention. The Californians
claim that their States have never been
honored by the national Democratic con-
ventions, and that little recognition at
this time would breed good results next
November. The delegation from Caliior-
mia, Oregon, Nevada and all the Territories
are expected to act MS unit, and good
deal of active preliminary work is being
done in the interest OF Gov. White.
The Pacific coasters are making vigor-
GUS pull for Lieut.. Gen. White for tempo
rary chairman and are winning many re-
cruits for their man.
From present appearances there will be
lively fighting for the Craftsmanship.
At the meeting Of the national committee
last February 1t was agreed that Gen. =. A.
Collins, OF Boston, should be invited to
preside at the preliminary proceedings.
Now there seems TO be feeling among
the committee, or at least among the mem
bers now here that Gen. Collins should be
the permanent chairman, and that some
other Democrat Of emincnce be the tenn
porary chairman.
Mr.. Prince, OF Massachusetts,, Is in favor
OF giving the Caliiornians the temporary
chalrmanship. The committee invariably
selects the temporary chairman, and it has
also been the custom for the national COM
mittee TO select both the temporary and
permanent chairman. IL is generally
limited tonight that the committee had
practically agreed upon Senator German,
OF Maryland, for temporary chairman and
Gen. Collins for permanent chairman.
The western and southern men are not
taking kindly TO this alleged program, on
the ground that other sections than the
eastern seaboard should receive some
recognition.
In addition TO the talk about Lieutenant
Governor White, Of California, there are
rumors that Henry Watteson will be
urged for permanent chairman, and his
friends say that he will be supported by q
solid south in the committee on permanent
organization.
In view Of the competition for the honor
OF welding the gayel II is just possible that
the arrangements Of the committee may
be upset. A private dispatch from New
York tonight says that the Tammany
braves have sent a telegram 10 Senator
Thurman urging him 20 accept the vice
presidency and asking for n formal declara-
ton OF his position in regard 10 the offices.
The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1888-06-02

the generals friends here boldly declare
that their candidate is certain to get the
place. They say that he combines all the
necessary qualifications; that he has fine
war record; that he has made q splendid
officer as commissioner of pensions; that
he can unite the Democratic factions in
Indiana, and that he can come as near
carrying Illinois as any one in
the State. The fact that he has
good war record and has taken
care OF the soldier element in the admins
tation of his Office, is considered by nearly
every one as an excellent reason for his
going on the ticket. Gen. Black is, il is
said, TO be placed in nomination by an elo-
quent and crippled rebel soldier from
Mississippi, but his support will come
largely IRON the east.
Senator Mcpherson and Mr.. McAdoo,
OF New jersey Spinola, Cummings, Brice
and Campbell, OF New York, and the Con
necticut men under the lead of W. L. Bar
mum, chairman OF the National Democratic
committee, have earnestly declared for
Cleveland and Black, and aver that the
ticket can carry all three of these doubtful
States. Blackburn, OF Kentucky, Col
quit, of Georgia, and the Colorado dele
gates are also for Black Mr.. Spinola de-
clares that 80, 600 Union veterans will vote
in New York this fall and Mcpherson in
sists vpon having manned soldier on the
ticket whom every veteran in the land
will know,
