daily received by the governor. am sat
isfied that Governor Hill will not refuse
the presidential nomination at the hands
of his party. In my opinion he will go
into the next convention backed by the
New York delegation so emphatically that
there will be no question in the minds of
the delegates,from other states to his ability
to carry New York. From what I learn
here am satisfied he will. We think well
of Governor Hill out in Indiana. His
political utterances are familiar to US and
they have true Democratic ring.
"The Indiana delegation will certainly
support Gray. Next to GRAY, however, we
should go for Hill. Gray's friends are
Hills friends, and If they can not nomi-
nate Indiana's governor, they are ready to
turn in and support the governor Of New
York. Then in such contingency we
should try mighty hard for a place. e Hill
and Gray would make a strong ticket.
With such ticket we would sweep the
country. The campaign would be charac-
ter;zed by extraordinary enthusiasm from
beginning to close. 1t would be one grand
Democratic awakening. With Hill and
Gray for standard bearers and on the is
sues of low tariff, economy of government
al administration and the free coinage of
silver, we could beat any man and tri
umph over any amount Of money put up
againtt US.
Finally" said Mr.. Ray. 81 want to go
on record as saying that Mr.. Grover Cleve-
land will neither get his own delegation
Also. that the New York delegation. be-
yond all question, will be instructed for
Governor David B. Hill"
INDIANAPOLIS. July 11.-Ex-Governor
Gray, in reference to the interview with
Scott Ray, editor OF the Shelbyville Demo
crat, telegraphed from New York, says:
"Mrr Ray did not go to New York at my

agent. | have no agents. Mr. Ray has
been friendly TO me, and has often spoken
very kindly of me in his paper. | think
he has also been very friendly to Governor
Hill. Formerly he frequently spoke most
favorably of Governor Hill am not
candidate for second place on the ticket
with any man, for am not candidate
for vice president at all. l am reluctant to
believe that Governor Hill said what the
dispatch attributes to him. Don't you
think that would be assuming good deal
to put himself at the head of the ticket
and take it for granted that I would be
willing TO take second place? No, sir; I
am not candidate for the vice presidency"
SEDAL1A, No, July 10.-Gen. A. B.
Norton. editor of the Dallas (Tex.) Intel
hgencer, was here today, on his way to
the National Editorial convention at Min
neapolis. Asked about the Cleveland out
look in Texas, Gen. Norton replied:
L 90 DOC tnlnK cleveland STANDS the
ghost OF a chance to carry the Texas dele
cation in the next Democratic national
convention. Mills and Reagan are both
opposed TO the eXDemocratic president,
and, to speak more pointedly, think the
majority of Texas Democrats are the same
way. Cleveand's views on the silver
question caused him to be forever a politi-
cal corpse in the Lone Star empire.
Either German or Morrison will be the
choice of Texas Democrats, and from the
way the general Democratic sentiment ap-
pears at present l feel pretty safe in saying
that the chances are considerably in favor
of the Maryland man."s
