BE q Candidate.


1t Was Decided to Again Ask Mr.. Blaine to
Be q Candidate.
According to Detroit afternoon paper it was
definitely decided at the republican conference
in that city to draw Secretary Blaine into the
presidential race. As soon as Gen. Garrison
reaches New York he will proceed directly to
Washington, where a secret conference will be
held with Secretary Blaine, and an effort will
be made. to have him consent to make the run.
The paper adds:
SIN case Blaine consents to be nominated as
presidential candidate Alger will be pushed
for second place. This was also decided at last
nights conference. In case nothing will in
duce Secretary Blaine to rescind his determina-
ton not to become presidential candidate,
Alger will be pushed for the head OF the ticket
by the entire anti-Harrison contingent all over
the country. He will then have behind him
such leaders as Clarkson, QUAY, Platt, Thurs
ton. Langston and Fassett, with all that that
implies"
Chairman Clarkson left for New York on the
noon train. He would say nothing in regard to
the conference.
Gen. Algcr vas reticent when approached in
regard to the conference. What the outcome OF
the conference was he declined to state, but
said that the political situation was canvassed
by those present and its possibilities discussed.
All we're in favor Of James G. Blaine for Presi-
dent, and every means would be used 10 get
him to accept the nomination. The general
declared that the talk about q conspiracy
against President Harrison was silly, for the
reason that in this country. where every man
has right to have aud express an opinion, such
a meeting as that held Wednesday evening was
no conspiracy. It was only to discuss what Is
best for the success Of the party.

Uncertainty - TO the Action Of the Coming
New York Convention.

UncertAinty - TO the Action Of the Coming
New York Convention.
II il possible that the action Of the movers Of
the May convention in New York may make
futile all the efforts Of the Cleveland people
outside of that state.
The conviction has become very general at
Washington that Mr.. Cleveland will not permit
his name to go before the national, convention
| If Mr.. Grace's convention adopts such course
as would place the Cleveland people hopelessly
in opposition to the regular democratic organ
ization.
tion goes much further than to merely make an
earnest protest against the manner in which the
other February convention was called and held
Mr.. Cleveland will write u letter withdrawing
his candidacy.
Barring the danger he runs from injudicious
action of some of his friends In New York, it is
generally believed that Cleveland is in better
shape for the convention than it was expected
he would be.
If, however, the Grace convention drives him
out OF the race. by making him merely the can
didate OF boiling faction in the state, il will
leave the Cleveland people in other parts Of the
country without q candidate and scatter their
forces.
Mr.. Blount Of Georgia said to a srAR re-
|
there was an overwhelming demand from DEM
ocrats outside of New York for the nomination
OF Cleveland. He did not think this could be
overcome except by very determined OPPOSE
ton in New York, and ii was doubtful whether
that could prevent his nomination.
This is not due to hero worship" Mr.. Blount
declared, "but to the fact that the democrats of
the country are bound to make tariff reform
the all-absorbing Issue of the campaign. and
not to let up on it until the object is accom-
plished. They believe that they can make the
issue clearer with Cleveland than with any other
man as candidate, and that is why they de-
mand his nomination.
HILLS EXPECTATIONS VANISHED.
There are excellent reasons for the belief that
Mr.. Hill no longer entertains the expectation
that he will be nominated by the democrats at
Chicago. 1t is believed that he will stay in the
fight for the purpose Of killing Cleveland if
possible, but that the sanguine spirit which has
possessed him SO long has vanished.
The Cleveland men have generally become
convinced that if Cleveland Is nominated he
will get no support from Mr.. Hill during the
presidential campaign.

THE POOL ROOM HOMICIDE.


Victor McCreary Sentenced to Jail and q
Fine ImpOsed-Judge Cox's Remarks.
On the opening Of the Criminal Court this
morning Judge Cox sentenced the youth, Victor
McCreart, to one year less day in Jail and a
fine Of 800 on his plea Of guilty Of granddaughter
entered yesterday. The indictment charged
him with the murder of Arthur C. Vandeventer
by striking him with billiard cue in a pool
room on February % last Judge Cox said
that he had reflected on the evidence and
was satisfied that the accused had no
intention to infict fatal injury or
to do more than to knock the
deceased down. The instrument-the billiard
cue-while in the hands of an able-bodied man
might be regarded as deadly instrument. could
scarcely be considered such in the hands of the
prisoner. There appeared to be some provo
cation for the blow, but the witnesses did not
hear the words, and the defendant claimed that
he had been threatened. He was satisfied that
If the case had been tried by jury the verdict
would have been accompanied by recon-
mendation to mercy, and he was not inclined
to send him to the penitentiary.
