One of the arguments being used among the
silver men in Mr.. Germans interest last night
was one which even Tom Patterson Of Colorado
would not accept. 1t was the statement that
Senator Teller of Colorado had ssid to q
southern Senator that II German was nomi-
mated he would advise the republican voters Of
the silver states to support the democratio
! ticket. Mr.. Patterson said frankly that he did
not believe this. But" he added. 81 know
that both he and Mr.. Wolcott are on terms of
deepest friendship with Mr.. Gormsn."
SENATOR GRAY NOT A CANDIDATE
! In spite of the denial OF Senator GRAY Of
Delaware last night that he WINS presidential
candi late possibility his name may come before
! the convention. His state delegation arrived
last night and Gov. Robert j. REYNOLDS its
leader said: Every man in the delegation is his
own Toss. We are not instructed and will vote
/ for any man we like. There is no unit rule to
bind us down either. NY own first and last
choice IL our own Senator, Mr.. GRAY, who IL an
able man and who would make as strong a can
dltiats as any man named"
Will his name SO before the convention?'
In my opinion il will, but l do not know
| who will present il. In fact, much will depend
on senator Gray himself, who We expect will
. arrive IN the city tonight OF not later than to-
morrow. Delaware has right to put IN q can
d:ddtt. and as we have good timber we want to
use it,"
Who is your second choice?"
Senator Gray. He's my choice all the time,
but if there appears to be no chance for him /
am for Cleveland But / think it altogether
probable that We will have our own candidate in
the field
Delegate Richard p Kenney said Senator
Gray was his first and only choice, but Con-
gressman Causey declared himself for Cleve-
land first, although he said he would show up in
the fight earnestly for Senator Gray If his name
were presented
DARK HoRSYs KEEPING DARK
OF the other dark horses Palmer has gone into
temporary eclipse since his arrival and declnra-
ton for Cleveland; Morrison has been put in
the background by the German movement,
which threatens to take away his second
choice friends in Arkansas and Missouri Gov.
Campbell Is again out in interviews announcing
his final determination not to be q candidate;
the friends Of Mr.. Boies are busy contradicting
stories that he Is willing to take second place
on the ticket, and the Gray following seems to
be doubtful about the presentation Of the In
diana candidates name.
Senator Voorhees, is freely quoted as saying
that he believes Cleveland will be nominated,
and it is currently reported that the German
men hope that he Will alter that nomination
speech with which he Is prepared and deliver It
for Mr.. German.
WHO WILL PRESENT oORMANs NAME?
Gen. st. Clair, one Of the delegates-st-large
from West Virginia, says: "The name Of Cor
man will be presented. 1t may not be that he
will be candidate in tho sense Of authorizing
the use Of his name, but his friends propose TO
put him in nomination anyway. The
nominating speech will be made by
Maryland man, probably Congressman
Barnes Compton. and 1 will make one of the
seconding speeches. We are hopeful Of hav-
ing Senator German become sn svowed candi-
date, but there Il still a doubt az to this In
any event his name WI be presented AIN
bama will vote for him on the first ballot, and
the German strength from other quarters will
astonish people"
AFALsE REPORT CAUSES STIR.
4 report telegraphed from the northwest
that the Minneapolis delegation, which left st.
Paul for this city Sunday morning was wsvering
in its allegiance to Cleveland seems unfounded
Mayor Winston Of Minneapolis, Editor
Lewis Baker of St. Paul, Judge Thomas
Wilson Of winona and Michael Donn
Of St. Paul, the four delegates-at-large from
Minnesota, are in tie city, and all unite In de-
nying the story. II has been received with q
good deal Of quiet rejoicing by the Boise leaders,
who are counting some strength In the Mime
sota delegations, and consider this promise Of
1t. However. the state convention at which the
entire state delegation was chosen was strongly
In favor Of The denomination of Cleveland, en-
Enthusiastically Endorsed his administration and
instructed the delegation to vote for bis
nomination as long as there was any chance OF
his securing the honor. Further than this, the
delegation was instructed to vote as
unit on all matters coming up in the
national convention. These instructions were
plain and rnmistakable and it is not believed
by the Minnesota delegates now in the city that
any one will ever attempt to break away from
them.
National Committeeman Doran, who Is also
delesate-at-large from Minnesota. says that
in his opinion Cleveland would receive fully
x 600 mi in Niupasnta fhop wnuld
other democrat Others say that the founda-
ton of the story is probably in the fact
that ID. b. johnson, an anti-Cleveland man,
Is said to be coming to the convention in place
Of Titus Marck, whose alternate he is. But
they say still further that Mr.. johnson would be
unable to get around the instructions to vote
for Cleveland under the unite rule.
NEW AExIco's SIX VOTES.
New Mexico's caucus last night was held 10
discuss its claims for the seating Of six dele
gates from that territory. The Minneapolis
convention conceded that number, and the
New Mexicans at the Palmer House are hop
ing the democrats will be equally gem
erous. The delegation will support Cleveland
The members claim that the territory is already
practically state, rs the Senate will probably
at this session make it such, and in that event
fore the election.
Among the fresh arrivals are the Ottumwa
delegates. who came early in the morning. The
Arkansas delegation, headed by Judge Rodgers
OF Little Rock. have also arrived. They are at
the Grand Pacific.
I'VE are uninstructed." said Judge Rodgers.
''snd as vet have not made up our minds for
whom we will vote. The people of Arkansas
are for Cleveland, but the delegation is for the
man who can carry the country"
Then yoa doubt Mr.. Cleyelands ability to
VIM was asked.
