CHICAGO, June 18-Daniel w. Voorhees,,
United States Senator and delegate at large

Isaac P. Gray is candidate for the Presi-

Governor Gray,s name, !" he said, ''and be-
lieve will vote solidly for him on the first
ballot" Senator Voorhees, will make the
nominating speech himself
"Could be carry New York;"
.''They tell US that Mr.. Cleveland can't
carry New York because of his antagonism
to Senator Hill. And then we hear that
Senator Hill can't carry New York because
of Mr.. Cleveland's friends. Well, I don't
pretend to understand the situation in New
York thoroughly. Mr.. Cleveland is my
friend. But if neither he nor Senator Hill
can carry the State, we must obviously look
elsewhere for leader. The Democracy
must have New York. We have clear
majority of the voters of that State. The
only thing Democratic candidate has to do
in New York is to get the full vote of his
party. Governor Gray is not identified
son why he should not get the full strength
of the party"
"Is Governor Gray any stronger than he
was four years age? He was rejected then
for second place on the ticket"
eve lost Indiana that year, too" the
Senator replied.
"Would Gray have carried the State
against Harrison?''
IT don't believe there is any doubt as to
that, nor do doubt that he would carry the
State this fall"

CURE FOR IRELAND's CURSE
A Simple Remedy Recommended to Get
Rid OF the Potato Disease.

A Simple Remedy Recommended to Get
Rid OF the Potato Disease.
lBY CABLE TO THE pIsPATCH.1
LONDON, June lathe potato disease,
one of the great curses of Ireland, has
lately been occupying the minds of the
British Board of Agriculture, and they
have after many experiments hit upon a
remedy which has been embodied in small
pamphlet. The treatment is simple, eI-
peditious and cheap. 1t consists in
the application to the growing
crops of mixture of sulphate of copper
and lime dissolved in water. From obser-
walton and record of innumerable expert
ments carried on in France. Belgium and
the United Kingdom, it is found that 25
pounds of sulphate of copper. with 121z
pounds of lime dissolved in 100 gallons of
water, makes the proper strength of So
luton.
The first dressing is given between the
18th and 25th of June, the disease usually
making its appearance in the first fortnight
of July. The second dressing is applied
after an interval of 18 to 20 days, ,and further
dressing if the disease persists. As to the
quantity put on, it curiously varies from
So gallons per acre, recommended by one
authority, to 150 by another The result
is said to be successful in all cases.

More Than Hatred of Cleveland Causes

CHICAGO, June 18-Ex-Secretary Whit
ney had some novel ideas oh the situation
to-day. He said:
The opposition to Mr.. Cleveland among
the New York delegates Is not opposition to
Clevelend so much as It is to the independent
vote that follows Mr.. Cleveland, and what
you might call mugwump methods in
politics. The truth is we have our regular
army and a lot OF new recruits that have
Joined us on recent issues, and
the regulars distrust the recruits
and the recruits don't much like the
regulars, and Mr.. Cleveland is between the
lines and gets banged at by both sides. We
have got to have the new recruits in order
to win. Where think injustice is done Is
in statements identifying Mr.. Cleveland
with mugwump methods. as though Mr..
Cleveland was not good party man him
self.
Mr. Whitney declared that the vote of
the State did not show any bitterness toward
Cleveland, and cited figures to show that
Cleveland got more votes in 1884 than in
1882, more in 1888 than in 1884, and more in
1888, also, than the total for the Democratic
candidates for Congress, where there were
contests. According to Mr. Whitney, Hill
got less votes than Cleveland, Cook or Jones
when on the ticket with either

cAMPBELL's FRIENDS ALARMED

Over tho Proposition to Make Him the
Permanent Chairman.
CHICAGO, June 1S-The friends Of ex-
Governor Campbell, of Ohio, are somewhat
alarmed over the proposition to make him
Permanent Chairman of the convention.
Bearing in mind the recent experience Of
the Republican delegation from Ohio at
Minneapolis they are fearful history may
repeat itself While they are proud Of the
honor that it is suggested be given their
favorite. they are apprehensive it may sub
ject him to charges of an embarrassing
nature.
They say that while the respective atti-
tudes of Governor Mckinley and e1-Gover-
nor Campbell are not exactly similar, and
Campbell has announced his intention of
voting for Cleveland, occupying this posi-
tion, should votes be cast for him by the
anti-Cleveland men, with the hope of stam-
peding the convention in his direction,
nothing could ever convince the followers
of Cleveland that Campbell had not acted
in consonance with a well-arranged plan.
The Ohio men now here say they would
much prefer that Ex-Governor Campbell
should take his place quietly in his delega-
tion and await the drift of events
