WAsHSoros, June .17.--Ths Administra-
ton Republicans are feeling the intense
heat more than other folks here to-day,
because the Ohio Republican Convention
has not been acting to suit them. Indeed
the Harrison followers are mad and dis
gusted over a gathering that is nothing
more nor less than Blaine-Foraker jubi-
lee, and the practical defeat of Senator
Sherman and the triumph of the Foraker
kids Is a thing that is really Notifying
70 mossbacks in the grand old party"
IL was not unexpected, however, for 1t has been
reported for more than a month that the ex-
Governor had fixed the pins 10 prevent the
convention from endorsing Senator Sherman for
reelection, and while Mr.. Mckinley has appa-
rently had an ovation, IL IL a Wel-knovn fact
that the farmers Of the Buckeye State are laying
a rod in pickle for that high-tax advocate, and
he may possibly be defeated, too. This Is what
u giving the Administration people, and espe-
cially the Ohio crowd here, 30 much alarm. The
turning down OF 30 eminent man as Senator
sharman is bound 20 have a disastrous effect on
the campaign, and II IL expected that that there
VIII be amerry war all along the line from now
until the closing Of the polls on electiop-day In
November.
HAPPY DEMOCRATS.
The Democrats are feeling happy and the hot
weather does not trouble men in that party.
They get reports from Ohio 20 the effect that
Governor Campbell Is sweeping everything be-
Tore him, and he will be renominated WIN
rush. The Cincinnati crowd viii have to come
into the fold again. With the big prestige that
Governor Campbell will have they cannot afford
TO hight him any longer. The Republicans can
not hope 10 be united after the events OF their
convention, and with such a fair prospect OF
Democratic victory every one In that party VIII
feel like falling into line.
PATTIsoS's PRESIDENTIAL BEE.
Pennsylvania Democrats who have been In the
city during this week assert positively that GOV
ernor Pattlson has the presidential bee In his
hat, and they are OF tho opinion that he will
have the solid delegation from the state next year,
and that IL will be instructed 10 go for that gem
tleman from start 10 finish. Pennsylvania has
never had but one President, and the friends OF
Governor Pattson are confident that II he should
be nominated he could carry the State. He Is a
strong man, and having twice carried the State
he would give the Republicans the liveliest bat
tie that ever they fought. He may not be nomi-
mated, but the bare fact that he IL fixing the
wires 10 have his own delegation has somewhat
agitsted the asplrants In other states.
GENTIEMBS's IDEA.
gentleman who has been closely watching
the drift Of public sentiment says that he looks
for Maryland TO send a German delegation 70
the national convention, that Hill viii have New
York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, that Gray
will go 20 the convention with Indiana shouting
for his nomination, and that TO still further COM
plcale the situation Kentucky Is going 10 pre-
sent the name Of Senator Carlisle. II Mr.. Cleve-
land sticks IL Is thought that he will
have Michigan and some Of the New England
States, and that the average southern State VIII
send uninstructed delegates. There are whis-
| perings heard here and there that Mr. Cleveland
will az the proper time announce that he Will
| not allow his name 10 be presented to the con-
ventiOn. This sort Of talk has been INDUCED In
| for the past year, but no one knows positively
/ that Mr.. Cleveland has any such intention. The
general supposition Is that he Is candidate.

ment. He succeeded in having w. s. Larribee
