will probably second the nomination of
Cleveland"
Mr.. Bayard this morning took his
seat in the Delaware headquarters,
where for some hours he held an in
formal, but very pleasant, reception.
Old Democrats from other states
came in to shake hands with him,
and his amazing memory of names and
faces and family histories was never
more fully in evidence. He either knew
the caller personally,Or his father or his
grandfather.
Il do not know that | can tell any
thing about the situation which is not
already known to the whole country"
Mr.. Bayard said. "Therc is only one
candidate here, and his name is Cleve-
land. The
Demand of the Democracy
of the country for him Is so strong, so
insiStent, that the convention would
bow to it even if, as it is not, it were adj
verse to the ex-president. This is a
point that cannot put too strongly. In
Delaware no other name has been dis
cusSed. In other states, while some
candidates have been mentioned, 1t is SO
potent a fact that our party wants
Cleveland that argument is not worth
while. No combination Of politicians,
no adroit work OF any set of managers,
can affect the matter. The convention
has but to ratify the popular choice, and
go through the fOrmaliteS necessary to
make Mr.. Cleveland officially, as he is
popularity, the Democratic candidate.
This done its function will have been
completed"
"Then, senator, you attach little i'm
portance to the fight in New York;"
Only this much, that it gives Senator
Hill the opportunity of his life. The
New York storm can be quelled as easy
as it was raised, and upon Senator Hill
will devolye tile duty as Democrat to
end it. He is a young man, but wise
man. and loyal Democrat, and when
he sees how imperative is the demand
made by the country for Cleveland
He Must Fall I'm Line
and do his duty to the party. OF course
he will do it. 1t is an insult to Senator
Hill TO suggest even by implication that
he will not bend his full energies to the
election of our candidate. He is within
his right to do all that has been done in
Chicago up to the present time. but the
nomination once made the situation
changes, and Senator Hill and the gem
tlemen who have done such excellent
work for him will be for the nominee.
Senator Hill knows that there is not
the vaguest possibility of his nOmina-
ton. He knows that with his help we
can carry New York. How idle it is,
then, to talk about New York fight,
when the New York fight ends and de-
termines at the moment that the ballot
making Cleveland our candidate is an
nounced."
Then, senator, you attach no i'm
portance to the talk about GOrman?'
''Of course not. DO you, Or can any
body, imagine that Senator German
would be present in Chicagoif he had
any purpose of permitting his name to
go before the convention? l do not be-
lieve it. Mr.. German Is gentleman
who has made friends in every part Of
the Union; he is known perhaps better
than any gentleman now IN the senate.
He is young mau, and most shrewd
and experienced politician. lido not
believes hat he would barter the
Certainties of His Future
for the more than doubtful possibilities
of the present. No; you can make up.

alone not authorized, but that he der
plores the use of his name. Of course
he cannot talk, but take it his pres
ence in Chicago should alone be SUR
ficient answer to all the gossip about
him." r
"Boies is an avowed candidate. Sens

Republican. and he is possessed of un-

But, like German, Boies' turn has not

''How about Gray" u
Indiana, am told this morning, has
made up its mind to cast its full vote for
Cleveland. Gov. Gray must, of course,
have assented to this declaration before
it was made, and think it wise and
loyal evidence of his Democracy"
Russell, of Massachusetts,, is also
spoken of, senator"
mot. think, with his own consent.
Gov. Russell is like German, young
man with great future opening before
him. He is himself an urgent supporter
of Cleveland, and he recognizes the
voice of the country so plainly and un-
mlstakably phrased in this coming COIL
vention."
"Who will have the second place on
the ticket, senator?"
"Some Western man, / should say,
who has shown his strength in his own
locality. do not believe that the vice
presidency has been discussed by Mr..
Cleveland's friends.''
