A dispatch from New York TO the Phila-
delphia Press asserts that the friends oil MI
Cleveland favored Hon. William L. Wilson,
of West Virginia, for Speaker. AT con-
ference IN New York early in liz summer,
it is said. Mr.. Cleveland, while expressing
admiration for Mr.. Mills, expres, ID the
fear that very stiff line would be drawn
separating the friends of Mr.. Mills from the
friends of another candidate who might
represent some opposition to the extreme
tariff views of Mr.. Mills. In such an emer-
gencv il was always wise to look for per-
son who commanded the respect of every
one. and he had such q man in mind.
That man, he said, was Mr.. Wilson, OF
West Virginia. Among all the acquaint-
ances whom he made when he was Presi-
dent there was no man in either house OF
Congress who had won a higher regard
from him than Mr.. Wilson had. He re-
garded Wilson as, in some respects, one OF
the ablest politicians whom he had ever
met, and also as possessing the higheSt.qual-
titles of craftsmanship. Some of his int'l /
lectual qualities suggested those of Carlisle
Moreover, Mr. Wilson, while ia entire ac-
cord with the tariff views of that section II
the party which Mr.. Mills conspicuously
represented, was also not regarded as an
extremist by the other wing of the party.
In addition to that, although it was mat
ter of minor expediency, it could not be said
of him that he represented the extreme
South or the Northern Democracy, but, liv-
ing in West Virginia, occupied sort OF
neutral or impartial position. The ex Pres
ident said that he did not offer these views
with any purpose of influencing the decision
of the Democratic caucus, but simply to sug
gest to his friends that if any emergency
arose they had grand man in MIR. Wilson

The New York Evening NeEs Is level
headed on the following as on things gen
orally:
Tariff reform should be the paramount
plank in the National Democratic platform
Of 1899. To divert attention from it by
forcing to the front the silver or any other
question upon which there may be vide and
honest differences Of opinion, Is TO invite
defeat. The people have been unJustlly
taxed for private purposes, and to remedy
this evil Is the first and chief duty that
should evoke the energies Of every Demo
