BE THINKS HE HAS A SHOW TO
GET TIE FIRST PLACE

Failing in That He Wouldn't Mind
Taking the Tail End-Blaine and Har-
rlson Don't Want Him in Either
Plece-Both Fear the fractional Knife
in New York.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-Vice President
Morton is a discreet and diplomatic man.
He realizes that he is not a politician, and
50 cannot meet politicians on their own
ground, but be has proved himself to be
more than a match for them when he could
take them in his own way and he has con-
fidence in his own powers in this direction.
Hence it is that be is so hopeful that his
name will be found on the republican presi-
Dental ticket next year, although at this
time there seems to be no prospect that it
may head that ticket, and both Secretary
Blaine and President Harrison are under
stood to be unwilling to have it in the second
place.
MoRTON's HOPE.
Vice President Morton himself, as a can
didate, willing and able to give substantial
assurance that he would, as the head OF the
ticket, carry New York against any demo-
cratic candidate, regards his chances of
DeluR nominated IOr PRESIDENT as by no
means remote, but no other republican
leader takes that view. They all dread the
temperance vote so much that they fear
Vice President Morton would weigh down
the ticket to defeat even in the second place,
leaving out Of account all prejudice against
his connection with Wall street and his
wealth.
NEW YoRK's FAoTIoNAL KNIFE.
Secretary Blaine and President Harrison
are perhaps most Influenced against nomi-
mating Mr.. Morton for Vice President by
their dread Of the faction knife In New
York state. They feel that it will be used
next November as 1t was this November,
and that to renominate Vice President Nor
ton, who was put on the ticket In 1888 by
Boss Platt, and has been regarded ever since
rs Platt man, would be to invite the knife.
They are, in fact, opposed to the nomina-
ton Of any New Yorker, believing that any
man Of sufficient prominence to De put on
the ticket would be 30 identified with one
faction that the other would cut the ticket
BLAINE PREFERS WESTERN MAN.
Secretary Blaine. it is known, prefers a
western man for the second place on the
ticket. President Harrison, it is said. pres
fers New England man. Nevertheless,
quiet Mr.. Morton thinks that the ticket
will have New Yorker on 1T, and that he
will be the New Yorker. Personally, he is
quoted as saying to friend that he thought
the "old ticket, which had already demon
strated its ability to carry the country,
would be safe one to nominate"

condition of the wheat crop are conflicting.
Those sent out by the railroads report that
nearly all the wheat in shock has been

OF the situation. saying that hundreds of

for nothing except food and straw. The

BERLIN. Nov. Is. - The German war
office evidently believes that amid all the
protestations Of peace that are being made
by the sovereigns of Europe. now is the time
TO prepare against rupture In the amicable
relations which have afforded SO many
opportunities of late for various rulers to
express their confidence that none of them
would precipitete war. And as evidence of
the direction in which danger may come,
the war Office has ordered that
large number Of portable tents
be manufactured for the use of the eastern
army corps with view to the protection of
the troops from inclement weather in the
event Of war with Russia. The towns along
the frontier of Germany are few and far
between, at least towns where it would be
possible to quarter large bodies OF troops,
and the war office is therefore only taking
proper measure Of precaution to care for
the soldiers should war break out.
