HILL NOT A FACTOR.
The Story Is Reiterated in Detroit
That the Senator Is Not a
FOR THE PRESIDENCY.
He Fears That He Would Be Defeated at
the Polls in November.
FAvoRs JOHN ". PALMER, OF ILLINOIS

DETROIT, MICH, Mach 23.-The Tribune
tomorrow will reiterate the statement made
by it last Tuesday to the effect that D. B.
Hill had declared he would not be candi.
date in the coming Presidential race. Con-
tinuing, the Tribune will say:
There seems absolutely no doubt that Mr..
Hill has declared in SO many words his in.
tention not to ask the Chicago convention
to place him at the head Of the ticket.
Whether or not he has since changed is
another question. His friends in Michigan
will proceed on the supposition that he
means what he says. The developments OF
the next ten days will tell the story.
Not to exceed q dozen politicians in De-
troit had been let into the secret and they
had religiously refrained from unbosoming
themselves. Mr.. Hill requested that his de-
termination be not advertised for two or
three weeks yet, when the state OF his mind
would become apparent to the world
through the &C tions of his intimate friends
1t is not the purpose of the Senator to make
any formal avowal of his intentions, but he
will show his hand none the less plainly,an
that soon.
Still Want to Remain Incognito.
Every effort was made yesterday to induce
the two local Democrats who went as ennis
saries to Washington to see Mr.. Hill to sanc-
ton the publication of their names, but with
out avail. They were fearful lest they be
charged with breach of faith in letting the
cat out of the bag too soon. They talked
very freely about the matter, however.
"The gisU of Mr. Hills words were," said
one of the gentlemen, ''that he was very am
bilious to be President, but he was afraid he
would be defeated at the polls. He dis
cussed the situation very frankly, and ad-
mitted his own weakness before the peo-
ple."
"Did he express any preference as among
candidates." was asked.
"Not directly, but he gave us to under
stand pretty thoroughly that he would like
q Western manf"
"Did he mention anyone?"
"You can say" the ambassador declared,
.tand say it safely, that,next to himself, Mr.
Hill desires to see the nomination 90 to
John NJ. Palmer, of Illinois,"
Hill VIII Dictate the Nominee.
"Is it not possible that Hill is working
shrewd scheme to secure the Michigan dele
cation for himself?"
mo, SIR" he said, "the truth is Hill is out
of the race for this campaign, except that he
will dictate the nominee. He withdrew
from no sentimental reason, but simply be-
cause he appreciated his weakness as pop.
ular candidate. When Dave Hill enters the
Presidential race it will only be with the
practical assurance of election. He has
never been defeated and he never does pro-
pose to be-"
"why should Mr. Hill be more confidential
with his Michigan friends than with his fol.
lowers elsewhere?"
"He is not. His determination is well
to no great number. Mr.. Hill has been per-
fectly frank with his trusted friends. In
side of two weeks his position will be made
plain to everybody"

WISCONSIN FOR GROVER.
THE DELEGATES TO VOTE FOR BIN
AS A UNIT.

1t Was at First Intended Only to In.
dorse Him Without Giving Cast-Iron
In structions - The Convention to
Meet To-day-Connecticut's Repub-
leans on Hand for Their Convention.
MILWAUKEE, WIS, May S.-"Wiscon-
sims delegation is going to the democratic
national convention with directions to vote
as unit They will be the only solid
gathering at Chicago to help make Grover
Cleveland the party's presidential nominee.
We will have no second CHOICE The dis
tinctiye declaration quoted was made to-
night by Chairman E. C. Wall
of the state central committee. His
words were in forecast of the probable
action of the Wisconsin democratic
convention, which is to be held in this city
tomorrow, aud the delegates to which are
nearly all on hand Tonight eagerly dis
cussing the outlook. It was generally un-
derstood that no cast-iron instructions
would be given for Mr.. Cleveland, although
his administration and himself personally
would be extolled in the highest terms and
the delegates to Chicago would be re-
quested by all honorable means to bring
about his nomination. The only glimpse of
the iron under the velvety smoothness that
seemed to cover ell preparations was in an
intimation that the rule would be enforced
for certainty. 1t is said that only three
or four delegates are known to favor Sena>
tor Hill, or any one else, besides Mr.. Cleve-
land. State Chairman Wall, Senator Villas
and Gen. Bragg will undoubtedly be three
of the delegates at large. The fourth will
probably be George H. Lund, a wealthy
brewer of La Crosse.

Atlanta's City Council Refuses to
Accept Street Gar Tickets
ATLANTA, Ca, May 3.-Several days
ago the counoilmen and aldermen of
Atlanta's municipal government received
through the mails pass books on tho lines of
the Consolidated Street Railroad Company,
which has a practical monopoly Of the
street railway lines OF the city. Many of
the city fathers returned the pass books
to the Consolidated company, because they
regarded the Ipresent as move to influence
them in granting further privileges to the
street railway monopoly. During the two
years since the company has been in
existence an exceedingly strict policy
has been pursued in regard to the
issue OF passes and nobody at
all was given passes, and an effort was even
made to shut out the policemen. This
policy made the company unpopular. The
feeling of resentment invaded the council
chamber aud in view OF this the indignant
counciimen who returned them believed
the pass books were tho coating to bitter

mon the information he has received, in
many cases directly from delegates-elect to
,ba Minneapolis convention. He sincerely
ho,,aves that he has already 302 instructed
doIagates and 211 additional delegates in
siybt or 63 more than enough to renomi-
nate him as shown In the statement given
ont by bis representatives to-day. If he
had. as he thinks. 5l3 delegates who could
badepended on to vote for him on the first
ballot he would of course be nominated
and the only question would be that which
he ia said to be asking-whether the renomi-
nation should OF should not be by acclama-
tion. But his party opponents say that
even if he has SIS delegates to-day he is not
snrs of having them at Minneapolis. The
southern delegates they regard with their
customary cynicism as convertible by
cash y to use the phrase employed by one Of
them to-day. and as likely to turn up Alger
men after having been Harrison men this
YEAR as they did after having been Sher-
man men four years ago, and
a, to the other delegates they claim
that President Harrison has been deceived.
They do not take much stock in the idea
that the Harrison contestants from the
south will endanger President Harrison's
chances, for they assume frankly that IL
President Harrison has a majority at all
he can easily keep the contestants out of the
convention, or if his southern delegates and
others from democratic states do stand by
him and he does manage to keep the contes-
ta1ts out, they can convince the delegates
from republican or doubtful states that he
cannot be elected, and thus secure COM
bination on some other man. This other
man, in spite Of all reports Of agreements
already made, has not been agreed upon
and probably will not be until the time Of
the convention.
A NEW BLAINE STORY.
A new Blaine Harrison story was in cir
oulation at the capitol to-day. 1t was told
bv a republican member of the House, who
said that in q recent free talk with Secre-
tary Blaine he said that be wondered that
President Harrison should be still contest
ing for the nomination, when he must know
that he had little or no chance. why be
said, 'in the present circumstances the Re-
publican party must nominate a mau who
will draw together all Its
members and call out their best efforts. He
must make friends, not enemies. Now you
know, as well as l do, that President Harri-
son is not that kind OF a man. He is re-
pellant rather than attractive TO many peo-
pie, and has no magnetism. The Repub-
lican party has a great opportunity this
year, but it cannot be improved by Mr..

appointment of the speaker of the House,
Ira B. Jones, to sit with the supreme court
in place Of Justice Pope, disqualified, has
put him in bad box. The State to-day

government to assume or discharge the
duties of any other. The article was read
by Speaker Jones, who arrived here last
night TO take his seat on the bench to-day.
He examined into the matter, addressed
communications to the governor and court
declining the appointment, and saying he
was clearly of the opinion that he was not
qualified to sit. It was the intention of the
attorneys in the case to demur had

NORFOLK, VA, May 3.-Announcement
was made to-day Of the formal withdrawal
from the Methodist church of Rev. William
E. Evans, D. D., who has been pastor OF the
CRANKY Street Methodist Episcopal church
South Of this city for the past year and a
half. The news created decided sensation,
for while it was known to few outsiders
that the doctor and all of his congregration
were not in entire accord. no one looked for
such a radical change in his church rela-
tions as was developed to-day. The CRANKY
Street church is the wealthiest and highest
salaried charge in the Virginia conference,
and DR.. Evans, who Is just 40 years of age,
has been regarded as one of the ablest and
most popular ministers of his denomina-
tion. He will enter the Episcopal ministry
end will leave.for Alabama June to apply
for orders in the diocese of that state. it
seems from what DR.. Evans said to-day
that he has been for some time what is
called a high church Methodist" and
strongly inclined to the ritual and ceremo-
MES Of the Episcopal church.
