Gray to Be Pushed at Chicago to
Help Turpie.
CHICAGO. April IA Tribune special
from Indianapolis says: There are APP
prehensiOns Of a split in the coming
Democratic state convention, and i'll
consequence the supporters of Cleve-
land were yesterday advising that it
would be policy for the convention to
lndorse Gray for first place in per-
functory way, as it will have to be done
if it is done at all. 1t will not be sur
prising if All understanding of this kind
is reached within the next few days.
The object the Cleveland people
set out to attain has been &C
complished, namely: The killing of
the Hill sentiment in this state.
No one now rises to dispute the state
ment that whatever disposition is made
of Gray, the delegation that goes to Chi
cagO Will be for Cleveland as soon as it
becomes evident that Mr.. Gray cannot
be nominated for president.
No one has seriously supposed Gray
will stand any show of nomination for
first place, but His claims will, it is ar
gued, give him some prestige for sec
Opd place. The opponents of Gov.
Gfay's candidacy for president, in COM
Dina'ion with the friends of Senator
Turpie. are endeavoring to wipe out all
possibility of Gray succeeding Turpie
as United States senator by having the
state convention direct for Gray'S cleo
ton. A resolution will be introduced
instructing the legislature to re-elect
Turpie, and those who are behind the
movement say the resolution will pass.

BALTIMORE, April THE News this

York, and four Republican politicians
from that state, who called to ask the
senator to urge President Harrison and
Secretary Foster to remove Democrats

them with Republicans.
Gentlemen" said the senator, sit is
of no use. | have gone to both the
president and the secretary about these
very matters, and they will not listen

the mugwump vote by playing

over and over again to contemplate
any more removals. l have talked with
him and Mr.. Platt has done the same
thing until we are both tired, and l

ask it will only add to his unpopu-

"Well, we can't help that" the
senator, 1--WE have got to nominate him
whether we want to or not. Blaine is
too sick to take it. Ayers record
shuts him out. Sherman is more UNI
popular than Harrison, and we will be
obliged when the convention meets to
renominate him OF repudiate the admin
lstration OF the last four years. In
my candid opinion, it don't make
much difference who we nominate,
he is bound to be beaten. The
Democrats will have to nominate Cleve-
land, and the whole country seems to
be going wild over him, and he will be
elected hands down. Harrison IS un-
popular here and everywhere else, and
Blaine is the only man we could have
any chance OF electing, and it would be
q hard squeeze to elect him.

anything for them, and bowed them out.
