GoRMAN MUCH LOVED,
North Carolina Democrats Seeking for
Leader Outside Of New York

North Carolina Democrats Seeking for a
Leader Outside Of New York.
WASHINGTON, March 8-A delegation iof
tar-hsel democrats called upon Senators
Vance and Ransom at the capitol to con-
suit with them about the coming conven-
tion for the selection of delegates to the
Chicago convention. Senator Vance said
to reporter after the delegation had left
that the democrats of North Carolina have
about reached the conclusion that neither
Hlll nor Cleveland should be nominated at
Chicago, and they are looking the field over
for an available man outside Of New York,
and think German is the man. Vance said
Our people are very sorry about the fac
tlonal fight in New York, for it prevents the
nomination Of candidate from that state,
as it would probably be fatal to the party
to attempt to force either Hill or
Cleveland upon the convention. III our
state We regard Senator German ns
the most desirable man from every stand
point. His wide experience with public af-
fairs and his unbemished moral character.
IN addition to his sngacity as leader,
make him very strong with our people.
They have confidence in bis Judgment, and
almost every other man you meet regards
German as the best candidate to put up
unless the situation in New York changes.
1t the convention determines to have q
western man, there are but two men in
sight who seem to me to have the requisite
political strenpth to make the race. | refer
to Gov. ay, of Indiana, and ex-Assistant
Postmaster General Stevenson, of Illinois.''
AS to Senator Palmer and Mr. Campbell,
Senator Vance said: Palmer is undoubt-
edly grand old man, but his age is the
principal objection to his nomination. Ex-
Gov. Campbell ls bright young man, but
he could not carry his owd state at the last
election. add 80 he is out of tho question.
Goimnn is as much loved by the democrats
of the country as any man one can lind,
You have my permission to say this for
me.''
