u
tremelv absurd. The New York COM
mcrcial Advertiser, a disgruntled Blaine
organ. publishes one Of the most rldicu-
Ions of these statements. It's table
claims $50 votes in the convention Tor
Hill and comedies but 453 to CLEvE-
LAND. A few samples Of the way these
torals are reached will do to show how
very far of the Commercial Adrertiser
is i'm its estimate. 1t puts Arkansas
down as Hill o, CLEVELAND 2; but when
this table was made up the Arkansas
convention had not been held. 1t lin
isbed its business yesterday, but moth
ing authoritative as to the preferences
Of the delegates has been given out at
this writing. Georgia is put down ?
for Hull. IA for CLEVELAND, making
ID. Georgia. however, has % delegates
Of whom probably all will be for CLEvE-
LAND. Illinois is put down as IS for
PALMER; but Congressman SPRINGER
Of that State, says:
..The delegates 70 Chicago were unln-
struCted, except to the extent lua' = ~ ~
WAS found that the first place on inc
ticket was going West they were 70 pre-
sent and urge Senator and Ex-Governor
palmer. They are therefore 40 liberty 10
vote for any Eastern man.
The Brooklyn Eagle, which Is quite
as well informed as the Commercial Id
rrrfser puts the IS Illinois men in the
Cleveland column. Kentucky is put
down as solid for CARLISLE. Better
authority gives CLEVELAND 10 Of the 20
votes. Louisiana is claimed" HILL .,
CLEVELAND o. That State, however,
has not vet held its convention. Mary
land is put down as HILL z, CARLISLE
O. As. however, Senator GoEMAN has
declined have the delegates instructed
for himself. it is morally certain that
the whole l6 will go to CLEVELAND.
In Massachusetts, nine votes are "claim-
cd" for HIM. He has, we believe, two.
Montana is claimed TO be solid for
for HILL. six votes. Ex-Governor SAM
UELT HAUsEE, Of Montana, however
says:
1--WE want man who can win, and while
we would prefer candidate VINO is more
frirrEI, 10 silver than Cleveland, vet he IS
mo- douut the first choice, although our dele
cation is uuirstruCted. We would ike q
Western man, but there is little nope Oh
securing one Between Cleveland ana nm
the former is preferred. / don't 0SleVe
the Western people Will support d.il AL
though they regard him as OrlIudhJ
man
Governor HAUsEB is himself dele
gate to Chicago, and it may be assumed
that he knows what he is talking about.
Pennsylvania is put down HILL $,
CLEVELAND So, though there is next
90 no doubt that the delegation, GA
strong, will vote as a unit for CLEvE-
LAND. Rhode Island is classified rs
HuL3, CLEVELAND ., though all the
delegates are under instructions to vote
for Mr.. CLEVELAND. South Dakota is
put down as giving all its eight votes to
HILL though they are instructed for
CLEVELAND. Tennessee, which is solid
for CLEVELAND, is put down HILL $,
CLEVELAND Is. Texas, which has so
votes positively instructed for CLEvE-
LAND. is claimed 10 be HILL II,
CLEVELAND l6.
This is q sample Of the preposterous
claims that are being made for the con-
fusion of the uniusuucted delegates,
who will settle the conventions choice.
AccouuIy8 % the Boston Herald, the
present appearances are that prices OF
Ohio wool will be lower in 1892 than
they were in 1901 The only object of
the increased wool duties beyond their
political value TO the Republicans in
| Ohio-was TO increase the price Of Ohio
wool by compelling manufacturers to
substitute 10 for foreign, but 26,52O,670
pounds Of clothing wool were imported
I'M 1891. as compared with 21,3SGs in
1890. and Ohio wool fell of in price.
I The tariff was tax sure enough on the
imported wool, butitd aid not benefit the
domestic growers.
