Representative Grain OF Texas, who was the
manager OF Mr.. Mills canvass for the speaker
ship and has been regarded as a Cleveland man.
believes now that Mr.. Hill or Mr.. German will
be the nominee. "When left Texas TO come
to Congress" he said to a STAR reporter. 81
think the general sentiment Of the democracy
was favorable to the nomination OF Mr.. Cleye-
land. Since the action of the democratic con-
vention Of New York, however, that sentiment
appears to have undergone q considerable
change, judging from newspaper and other
public expressions Of opinion. The drift Of
sentiment seems to be tending toward Senator
Hill"
Whom do you prefer" was asked.
MY preference would be either German or
Hill, he replied. The former has demon
strated on the floor Of the Senate that he 10 a
statesman of the highest order. and his great
and successful management Of the minority in
the celebrated debate upon the force bill has
endeared HIM TO the people Of the south and to
the lovers OF constitutional liberty everywhere.
The only possible objection. and do not con-

management that gave New York a democratic
representative in the Senate OF the United
States. 1t is not often that We find a man who
possesses a combination of the qualifications of
political leadership and of statesmanship. Both
Gorman and Hill are men of this character.

said of any Of the other gentlemen whose names
are mentioned in connection with the nomina-

many knitted Cleveland in the last contest and
that Hill is under the control OF Tammany.
The fasity Of these propositions is manifest
from an inspection Of the record of the votes

are more familiar with political feeling in New
York than outsiders. The unanimous vote of
a democratic convention legally organized in
the state of New York has declared to the peo-
pie of the country that Senator Hill is the
choice, of the democracy of that state for the
presidential nomination, and 1 am willing 10
accept the declaration as true.
