BRIoE ON SENATOR HILL
Il have no hesitation in saying that the nom
ination Of Senator Hill i. altogether out Of the
question" Senator Brice of Ohio is quoted to-
day as saying. lit is not 90 he considered un-
der any circumstances. prejudice against
SENATOR Hill exists among our people west Of
the Allegheny mountains which. I fear would
render his election impossible
Then the field will be be open TO the favorite
son candidateSy"
If the delegates b. the convention shall de-
eide that Mr.. Cleveland cannot be elected IL
nominated the question will come up as 60
which one among the many strong candidates
who have been mentioned will be the strongest
and, therefore. the proper candidate for this
convention 60 select. But il will not be nece.-
sary for us 90 cross this bridge until we come
TO IL. The question of Cleveland's candidacy
must first be definitely settled"
IF Mr.. c eyeland is dropped who OF the
other candidates do YOU favorg"
1t Is vet too early 20 saw. Ex-Ciov Camp
bell Of my own state has many friends. not only
I within but outside of Ohio The candidacy OF
Gov. Boies Of Iowa is also a very strong one.
But Mr.. Cleveland must be definitely laid aside
before We pass to the consideration OF others"
REVOLT IN MICHIGAN.
! Aspecial from Detroit. Mich. saws; All is
not harmony in the Michigan democratic dele
CATION to the Chicago convention. in spite Of
I the able leadership Of Don NJ. Dickinson.
VIM. /. Baker. one Of the delegates. who is .
Hill man and leading local democrat. says
I that deal has just been made by which az
least twenty Of the Michigan Delegates would
be solid for Hill IN the first ballot.
lie adds: . Ii has been thought all along that
Michigan was solid for Cleveland and 30 sure
were most of the politicians that they never
even gave IL a passing thought. but there have
been elements at work that will disturb the
peace Of Mr.. Ceveland's followers when the
convention meets"
! THE SOUTH HOLDS rHE BALANCE or POWER
As Yet but few of the southern delegates have
arrived in Chicago. As at Minneapolis the men
OF the south hold the balance Of power. and a.
a consequence present the most promising neld
| for the labors OF the President makers. IL is
said the anti-Cleveland men think that IL thew
can keep the southern delegates from Cleve-
land on the first ballot. or until the i'm
possibility of his candidacy IL made
apparent, they can then be swung into line for
some more available candi2ate-perhaps q
| western man. These anti-Cleyeland men point
out that probably the delegates from both Of
the Carolinas will not vote for the ex-President
and that he cannot secure more than one-haf
the votes of Georgia. Alabama and Virginia.
| This process. they claim. will = rsluce Ceve-
lands votes from the south 90 prevent his
nomination.
Mr.. German, they say. will divide the votes
| of the southern delegates with Cleveland and
Senator Carlisle will secure not a few. On the
( roundup the issue will be. according to the
I scheme Of the anti-Cleveland men, between
Gorman and a western man.
Detroit special SAYS: The Michigan dele
| CATION 10 the Chicago convention at a meeting
held IN this city unanimously decided 90 pre-
sent the name of Judge Allen H. Morse OF the
| supreme court Of Michigan for second place on
, the presidential ticket.
THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE
Important meetings Of the subcommittee of
I the national committee will be held ut the Pal
mer House today. The meeting will practically
decide who will be temporary chairman OF the
( convention, although no selection will be made
! until Monday. The members of the subcommit-
tee are Henry Watterson. chairman. Senators
/ Brice of Ohio. Gorman of MARYLAND and C.
Ransom of North Carolina.
The late Senator Barbour Of Virginia was q
member of the subcommittee and the vacancy
will be filled by the Virginia delegation. which
Z will select one of Its number for the place.
Every member of this committee II opposed
I 10 the nomination Of Mr.. Cleveland, and IL is
doubtful if any candidate with pronounced
! Cleveland views will be accorded the honor Of
temporarily presiding at the convention.
These names were suggested yesterday for the
consideration of the committee They were
Senators Daniel. Voorhees, OF Indiana, Adlai
Stevenson OF Illinois and CLAYTON A. Crafts
/ speaker of the lower house of the Illinois legis-
la;ure. Gov. James H. Campbell of Ohio wss
also talked of. but il is believed he ir slated for
the permanent ehairmanship. Gov. Campbell
will have the support of Senator Brice. that
gentleman having declared peace with his old
enemy.
PARTNER" BIssELL ARRIyEs
Vim. f. Bissell Of Buffalo. Grover Ceyeland's
former law partner. is on the ground ready to
do battle for the cause of his friend.
II don't come 10 Chicago merely to aid in the
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland because be is my
! friend, said Mr.. Blsseil. but for the reason
that believe he is the man on whom We can
rely TO bring us victory. lie certainly would
receive votes Of the independent
citizens in New York state in addition
| TO the democratic vote. In Buffalo have come
I in contact with great many prominent men
who are allied 10 neither party, and they tell
me they have confidence in Cleveland and will
vote for him. 1 have just glanced over the
manifesto issued by Messrs. Murphy. sheehan
and Croker. Ii is the same old story
/ they have been telling for months.
The assault on the so-called mugwumps Is not
| unexpected. but am quite surprised that such
astute politicians Hills friends are credited
with being should ignore the force and power
Of the independent vote of New York. That
vote in our state is more potential than in any
other state in the Union"
! Mr.. Bissel reg rds the nomination of Cleve-
land a. the logical outcome of the democratic
convention in view OF the action Of the Minne-
apolis convention in selecting high protection
ist TO head the republican ticket ON .
high tariff platform, for he claims. un-
less Mr. Cleveland is nominated. il will be hard
task to remove the suspicion from the minds Of
the people that the party is not bold in its ad-
vocacy of tariff reduction. Mr.. Bissell attrib-
utes Cleyelands defeat in lsss to the sction Of
the liquor men. who fought him 10 u man. but
since then he adds. Cleveland has grown in
strength wonderfully and he would sweep New
York ike a whirlwind."
Mr.. Bissell also took iyer at the methods Of
the Hill Flower machine in New York in the
present contest. saving: "An of the Hill
shouters who are coming here draw
ing salaries from the state Of New
York. Canal commissioners. state railroad
commission agents, city ball workers and men
Of that class coming on here TO whoop il up
for him. Cleveland's friends are coming here
because they represent principle and each
man pays his own expenses"
