CHICAGO. Juno 23.-The Hoosier Democrats

Last Sunday the first overturcs were made
by Mr. Whitney for a conference with Dan

At that conference Hugh Doherty and James
Murdoch represented the Indiana Democrats.
Mr.. whitney told them that he wanted their

Dickinson had Morse for u candidate and
Villas had Mitchell They were secretly work

When Murdoch and other Indianians went

stand up and nominate Morse. and when Gen.
Bragg. representing Villas. placed Mitchell in

hoosier Democrats left town tonight angry

they will have no more OF Cleveland promises.

INDIANAPOLIS June DIX Gov. Gray said
tonight: Il was not n candidate for the Vice.
Presidency. and did not desire the nomination.
At meeting OF a number OF my friends on the
delegation held on last Thursday informed
them that did not want them to put me for
ward for the Nice-Prcsidency nor to make any
arrangements to bring about my nomi-
nation. On last Sunday messenger
from Chicago came to see me. and said
that the Cleveland managers had pro
posed to give me the nomination for Nico-
President II would advise my friends on the
de egation to vote for Cleveland. 1peremptor-
lily declined the proposition.
THE Office OF Vice Presidcnt has been filled
by the greatest men that the nation has pro.
duced and is worthy the ambition OF her most
eminent citizens. but for certain reasons did
not desire the nomination. My friends pur-
sued the course, whi ch they undoubtedly
thought best. and l deeply appreciate their
friendship and will ever remember their de.
yotion. but am infinitely better satisfied than
I would have been IL they had succeeded in
nominating me-.
