IT PLEAsEs CALIFORNIA.
w. d. English, chairman of the Dem
Ocratic committee of California. eX-
pressed himself as highly gratified by
the announcement that Judge Thurman
would accept the nomination of the vice
presidency.
"We love the old man out there, as
England loves Gladstone, and he will
get 5000 Republican votes for the Dem
ocratIc ticket, and that will carry the
state. New York has signified her in
tention of supporting him, and l think
Pennsylvania is solid. He is a native
of Virginia, and will have great strength
through the South. In fact, the nominal
ton will be made by acclamation."
M. +. Tarpey, national committeeman
of California, believed that the Pacific
coast delegation were more unsettled
than when they first arrived, and they
had determined to hold meeting
shortly and decide upon plan of ac-
ton. There was only one thing they
were sure of, and that was desire to
have Col. White for temporary chair
man. There was strong feeling for
Thurman, and he was glad to hear that
he would accept nomination. The del
egation would consult on all matters
and vote as unit.
CAN'T AFFORD TO TAKE CHANCES.
Col. John Atkins, of Denver, who is
an ardent Black man, took heart this
evening when he heard of the Mary
said: Thurman is an old man, and
his age is against him. We can
not afford to take the chances
of any more vice presidents
dying on our hands. For arguments
sake let us say that some great calamity
occurred by which President Cleveland
would be removed. Judge Thurman
cannot live much longer, and the
country would find itself at the mercy
OF an appointee, the secretary of
state, who would assume the
office OF chief executive. The popular
vote would be lost and man would be
foisted on the American public who
would be comparative nOnentity of
qulrementS of such an exalted position
as chief magistrate of a great country
like this
GORMAN NON-COMMITTAL.
Senator A. p. German. who heads the
Maryland delegation, was seen and cut
all attempts at interviews short by say
ing the delegation has had no confer
ence, and consequently no choice has
been agreed upon. He closed further
inquiry by saying he had no prefer
ences. William s. Wilson thought Thur
mans nomination was most generally
favored by the Maryland people. In the
event of his refusal to be candidate
Maryland will favor Western man, in
Ginning toward Indiana or Illinois, with
Indiana preferred. Said a Maryland
delegate this afternoon: while the
first choice of our delegation is a
younger man than Judge Thurman, yet
we shall doubtless vote for him as unit
and in my judgment he will be nomi-
mated by acclanation."
THE YOUNGEST DELEGATE.
Robert Grain, the youngest delegate
to the convention, thought Judge Thur
man would be first choice of Maryland,
and that the platform desired by them
would be the same as proposed by Sena-
tor German and adopted by the state
convention, which declares in favor of
revision of the tariff and reaffirms the
resolutions of 1884, in icating how this
revision shall be accomplished.
WATTERSON'S POSITIvENESS.
Henry WatterSon. of the Louisville
Courier-JOurnal, who is a candidate for
permanent chairman, was brief and
positive in commenting on the an
nOuncement.
THAT removes all doubt" he said
'and Judge Thurman will be nomin ated
by acclamatiOn."
ARKANSAS AT SEA.
John j. Sumpter, national committee
man from Arkansas, said the delegation
from that state was at sea and did not
know what they would do. The whole
delegation is not vet here.
