WILLIAM l.. SCOTT,
The Man Who Boldly Knocked the

Pins From the War-Tax Fall
lacy.
The Pennsylvania delegation at the
convention is headed by Hon. William
l.. Scott, of Erie, the close personal
friend of the president and the brilliant
champion of revenue reform. Mr.
Scott is a peculiar figure in politics.
He has been marvelously successful in
his political ambitions, and in way
that violates all traditions and estab-
lished presidents. What other poll
ticians accomplish by diplomacy and
tact he accOmpliSheS by sheer audacity
His opinions of men or measures are
bluntly announced, and he has no taffy
in his stock of political supplies. There
was long standing presumption that
tariff reform was unpopular in PennSyl-
vania. The glamor thrown over the
real state of opinion by the benefciaries
of trusts and combines was delusive.
Scott undertook the job of peeling Off
the superficial coating. He took the
party helm in the politics of the state,
asked the support of the Democracy to
the reform measures advanced boldly
and fearlessly by the president. and
went ''galloping down the cheering line
with lance a-pOise and pennon flying"
to borrow a figure of speech from one oil
his critics. In the most audaciOus and
complete manner he laid bare the facts
concerning the profits of monopolistic
employers in Pennsylvania, and the re-
suit was such a gnashing of teeth among
millionaire 'philanthropists" that it
was evident that Scott's lance of fact
had penetrated the golden armor of the
steel rail trust. In all the weeks since
that memorable and convincing expos

SOUTHERN SENTIMENT.
The CarOlinaS and Tennessee Are
as Yet Undecided as to Second
Place

Place.
ST. LOUIS, June 4.-F. w. Dawson,
of Charleston, S. c., delegate at large
from his state, and chairman of the del
egatlon, said: Until we have looked
over the ground and have seen in what
direction the sentiment is running, and
who is the best man, we cannot say
what vice presidential candidate we
will support. 1t may be Thurman; it
may be Stevenson; it may be Black; it
will not be Gray"
j. r. Goodwin, of Memphis, delegate
at large from Tennessee, said to-day:
''We are for Gray, but if we find he is
not available, we will take any candi-
date. do not think Thurman is needed
to1 strengthen the ticket, generally.
Gray can carry Indiana, and that is
more than any other candidate can do.
So it would seem to us that Gray is APP
parently the best man for the place."
John I. Sloan, Jr., of Columbia, S. c.,
delegate from the fourth congressional
district, said: ''South Carolina is not
yet decided upon the vice-presidentia
matter. Thurman is very favorably
talked about, and Stevenson has some
warm supporters, We have yet to de-
eide between them. They have little
regard for Grave

BLACKS FRIENDS.

To-day They Will Decide Whether
to Present His Name or Flop to
Thurman.
ST. LOUIS, June Am important
conference was held this evening at
Colorado headquarters. Delegates from
Tennessee, Illinois, Ohio, Mississippi,
Michigan, Wyoming territory and Colo
RADIO were present. They assembled to
discuss the candidacy of Gen. Black
for vice president. After canvassing
the situation extensively, committee
was appointed for the purpose of
learning the status of rival candidates.
The committee will report tomorrow
morning, when it will be determined
whether Gen. Blacks hame will go be-
fore the convention or his support be
thrown to Thurman. This would
virtually make the nomination of the
latter by reclamation.

tanned, and either way we have the Pa
cific slope solid.'
HOW IT WAS STARTED.
The most interesting phase of the
Thurman boom is the fact that it was
started by party leaders residing out of
ONO. New York is credited with start
ing the ball for Thurman. and Congress
man Scott, of Pennsylvania, has warmly
advocated the cause of the old Roman
from the start. Sc0tt's support gives
currency to the talk that President
Cleveland favors Thurman's nomina-
ton. and Senator German, of MARYLAND.
is automatically reported as stating
That he believed the president has signi-
fed to Scott that Thurman was his
choice. German is for Gray; he believes
that Thurman will, in all likelihood, be
nominated.
Thurman was not seriously thought
OF as candidate until last week, when
secretary Whitney sounded the presi-
dent and found him favorably dis
posed toward Thurman. Secretary
Whitney has heretofore been polit-
1caily unfriendly to Thurman, and was
one OF the principal factors in prevent
Ing his nomination for the presidency
at Cincinnati in 1880. Calvin S. Brice.
OF Lima, o., the millionaire railroad
magnate, is credited with being the
real original promoter of the Thurman
boom. He heads the Ohio delegation.
The story goes that Brice has his eye on
the senatorial seat occupied by Senator
Payne. The Payne people are friendly
to Brice, but the latter was given to I'M
derstand by Thurman's friends that he
never could reach the senate as long as
N tn
Thurman and shelve him as senatorial
aspirant, Brice persuaded Secretary
Whitney to come out for Thurman, and
thus the Old Roman is said to have been
brought into the race. Brice will prob
ably be elected member of the national
committee from Ohio, to succeed Arm
strong.

Sprung for Carlisle.

IMAM d bOOIn WOulU nave Been
Sprung for Carlisle.
Special to the Globe.
ST. LOUIS, June At is said tonight
that had Judge Thurman failed to re-
ceive the support of the Ohio delegation
formidable boom would have been
started for Speaker Carlisle for the sec
ond place on the ticket. The story goes
that 5000 badges with the speakers
picture had been slowed away
in room at the Southern,
ready to be unloaded as
soon as the news that Ohio had dis
agreed was made public; that Henry
Watterson, Morrison, Randall and other
leading Democrats would have openly
eSpouSed the speakers candidacy, and
that to pave the way in the convention
mick" WOrthington, of Illinois, would
have submitted a resolution at the out
set of the proceedings paying a tribute
to the senator's devotion and services in
the cause of the Democratic party
and regretting that he had reached
an age when it would be neither right
nor just to call upon him again to serve
the people in an official capacity. Then
an EFFORT would have been made to carry
Carlisle through on tidal wave. But
the action of the Ohio delegation
knocked this little scheme in the head,
and the Carlisle boom and the Carlisle
badges will be put upon the shelf, maybe
to be brought out and busted four years
hence

, HORIZONTAL MORRISON.
In the Illinois Scrimmage He
Comes Out On Ton Ofthe Hean.

ST. LOUIS, June 4.-Illinois had a
lively time, and when the dust of the
scrimmage cleared away, the form of
William r. Morrison, the famous cham
pion of horizontal tariff reduction. was
seen to be on top of the heap. w. G.
Cloudy, of Chicago, had attempted to join
forces with the friends of Gen. j. G.
Black for the purpose of putting Goudy
at the head of the Illinois delegation,
thus depriving Morrison ofsany chance
of being dark horse for the vice presi-
dency, while correspondingly increas-
ing the chances of boom for Black.
Morrison adrOitly combined with the
friends of Gray, and after hard fight
defeated the Goudy-Black allies, horse,
foot and dragons. Morrison was made
chairman of the delegation, and F. NJ.
Phelps, of Chicago, rival of Goudy's,
was elected as the representative of Ill

VIII Speak for Himself.

CINCINNATI, June 1.-The following,
which will appear in the editorial
columns of the Enquirer tomorrow
double-leaded, has been given to the
Associated Press by that paper:
''DiSpatcheS from st. Louis are to the
effect that some person or persons
have assumed authority to speak
for the Enquirer and for Mr.
John r. Mclean. No one is authorized
to speak for either the Enquirer or Mr..
Mclean at st. Louis, and any one who
so assumes does SO without the slightest
authority"
1t is understood here that the above
refers to the reports that Mclean
would oppose Thurman.

NO DOUBT ABOUT THESE,
New York and Pennsylvania De
clare for the Old Roman.

ST. LOUIS, JuRe 4.-The Pennsylva-
mia delegation met this morning, and
after organizing took ballot to ascer-
tain its choice for vice president. The
roll was called and Thurman was voted
for unanimously. 1t is understood
there were some seven members in the
delegation in favor of Assistant Post
master General Stevenson, but the SEN
timent of the delegation as expressed
in informal talks was so strong in favor
of the Ohio gentleman that the seven
yielded their opinion in favor of that of
the majority.
The New York delegation, seventy
two votes strong, will vote for Thur
man, although there are several in the
delegation who advocate Gen. Blacks
candidacy and would vote for him if
they could do so. The unit rule, how
ever, interferes with their free action,
and the delegation is beyond doubt
solid Tor Thurman.
