Gov. Campbell Doesn't Like 1t and Takes
action Accordingly.
An Ohio delegate walked out of Buck
eye headquarters yesterday with the news
that Gov Campbelrs boom was busted
and the governor did it himself; that ne
told the delegate in effect that he wouldn't
have his name used in opposition to Cleve-
land. Speaking to repyter, Gov. Camp
bell said: The presentation Of my name
coupled with a solid vote from Ohio at the
outset of the convention would be Tor
either the real or the apparent purpose
of preventing Mr. Cleveland getting that
part of the delegation which is supporting
him. Such result, if followed up by
similar action in other states, would great
ly decrease his vote and possibly prevent
his nomination. l, as a sincere supporter
of his, could not houorably favor such q
proposition, nor do l think any other
Cleveland man on the delegation would
do So"
The Lightning Rods Are Going Up.
Suppose it should become evident that
Mr. Cleveland cannot be nominated or
that he should be withdrawn?'
Il do not think that either of those con-
tingencies is liable to occur. OF course
any man would be fiattered by an honest
and hearty support for the nomination
from his own state under circumstances
which would make it honorable to re-
ceive it."
AS far as you are informed at present
J who do you think will receive the nomina-
tion?"
Mr.. Cleveland will certainly be NOM
mated unless the favorite SON racket de-
feats him. admit am somewhat sur
prised at the number of lightning rods in
process of erection
And They Increase in Number.
! But for one rod that is pulled down there
! is always another to take its place Judge
! O'Hara, of Michigan, started a brand new
| boom yesterday-that is, he blew some
wind into it. His boom was for Judge
/ Morse, of the Michigan supreme court
! The boom didn't initiate with any degree
, of speed Senator Villas is the guest OF
I Hon. Lambert Tree, and, as always, is
stanch for Cleveland. There is but one
: thing to do with him, and that is to nomi
nate Cleveland, and Cleveland it will bt
on first ballot, he says. Any suggestion
! that "ifn Cleveland is not nominated "is
not supposable case" And that is the
way the Badgers all think, according tc
the senator.
Whern Gen. Palmer Stands
| Senator Palmer's boom is more of an
ideality than ever, according to Villas and
Judge Tree. Villas says that Palmer told
him personally that his only desire is that
Illinois shall cast her vote for Cleveland
Tree added that Palmer would put Cleve
land in nomination probably-.that he hac
been invited to do so. Palmer has un
doubtedly left Washington for this city
and there is that much in corroboration o.
what Tree said. Morrison has written
letter which was read to the Illinois dele
CATION Saturday night in which he says
that delegation should obey their instruc
tions implicitly. So there are Wisconsin
and Illinois according to pretty good au
thority.
! Indiana still in the Woods.
The Hoosiers are in a bad way, and haC
not up to yesterday afternoon decided
what to do. James II. Rice is a pro
nounced Gray man ard wants the issu
changed. He says the tariff should Civ
way to the @force" bill as a pressing mat
ter. Indiana is unable to get away fron
tariff reform-that is fixed. So there
no use nominating an exponent of that re
form and of nothing else in particular
But the sforcen bill would be applied I
, Indiana and New York as well as to Sout
Carolina, and that would be "a con6itie
and not theory" which would worry tn
Democracy a whole lot. Other men ther
, are, said he, who could carry Indian
, easier than Cleveland could.
