The House and Senate both adjourned to-day
Immediately after coming together out Of re-
spect to the memory Of Representative +. r.
Stackhouse Of South Carolina After ad-
jounment senators and members fingered
around the Capitol and talked politics. There
was considerable talk against Mr.. Cleveland,
rs there always is, but this did not change tho
situation. That Mr.. Cleveland will receive
the nomination but very few people here
doubt. Senators and members who are OPP
posed 10 him and do not believe that ne can
carry New York yet admit that no
viii be nominated. The only thing
that so the least bit squlnts the other
way Is what Mr. Lorney}, OF Aiaoana, l-.i, 49,
nominated beyond q doubt unless the New
York crowd is stronger than any one here be-
lieves 10 % be. That crowd may be strong
enough 60 raise a row at Chicago and make
third man possible. In that case IL might be

TIE IDiEs correspondent asked Colonel
klgOre. Of Texas, who u a strong Cleveland
man. % diyest himself OF oil personal interest
that be might have IN the Chicago Con-
yention and talk about the situation gener-
ally. Colonel Kilgore said:
CLEVELAND TIE MAN.
Cleveland is going TO DO nominated. You
see that attempted combination on Hill has
failed. Ii has been such a complete failure
that nobody thinks of him in connection
with the presidential nomination. There is q
little movement toward German, but II has
come too late 10 might have amounted 10
something II IL had been started earlier. But
II is too late now. 10 will not make the
slightest impression upon the Cleveland ranks.
Now the greatest opposition 10 Mr.. Cleveland
Is based upon the fact that he 10 opposed 10
free coinage. Now all # the States the
people of whom are for free coinage, have
with three exceptions adopted platforms
which are not out-and-out free silver declara-
tions. The exceptions are Florida, North
Carolina and South Carolina. the latter Of
which seems 10 have gone outside OF tie
Democratic party The other States have
evolved fOrked silver platforms. In other
words, they have looked 30 a compromise on
the subject of silver Now what has this been
done tOrs Simply 20 accommodate the plat
form % Mr. Cleveland. We cannot adopt free
silver platform al Chicago. We all know that
we cannot nominate man who is for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. We all know
too, that Alr. Cleveland Is the strongest
man in the free-silver portions of the
country who Is not g free-siiyer man.
The free-silver States have been accOmmo-
dating themselves 20 this position. We, as L
said before. cannot nominate "A fTee-silyer
man.
HE WILL BE WITH THE PEOPLE.
Therefore we are going to nominate the
man towards whose position we have been
adjusting ourselves, and let me say right here
that / firmly believe that Mr.. Cleveland will
he with his party on the silver question as
soon as be is satisfied that the country de-
mands ~. lie can satisfy the people, or We
cannot nominate free silver man. We are
going to nominate the only anti-tree coinage
man who can satisfy the people. When the
delegates get 10 Chicago they will find the /
sentiment 30 strong tor Cleveland that they /
will be for him, too. And then there are the |
men who are Wayerng. aud other men. too. I
who have learned a lesson from the futile OPP |
position which some Republicans made 10 4
Harrison at Minneapolis. Those Republ- /
cans are now out in the cold. The lesson \
which / have referred 90 is obvious. DO j |
expect Iammany 20 do much at Chicago? 1 |
do not. IL cannot afford to array itself /
against the National Democracy. Its DemOc- /
racy is already under suspicion. andit cannot. |
If il wishes TO live, 90 70 extremes J believe !
that it viii fall into line and accept the ineyi- |
table.
The Republicans think as do the Demo-
Gratis as 10 the outcome at Chicago Sena- /
tor Paddock (Neb) to-day said 20 TIE /
TIMES correspondent. 81 believe IL will be /
Cleveland on the first ballot Cleveland, like /
Harrison, is inherently strong with the /
people.

1.-THE sHEEp AND GOATS"
There were twenty Republican leaders who
went TO MlnneapOls: OF that number only five
supported Harrison They have all returned.
The other senators to-day had a good deal of |
fun with the disconsoate ones. They have
divided the twenty who went 90 Minneapolis
into sheep and goats. The sheep may expect
something from Sir. Harrison. The goats
may not. The sheep are Cullom. Hscock.
