Cleveland delegation can show that it
represents a large body of Democratic
voters. And it is not Impossible that
the Cleveland delegation will be admit
ted. The Cleveland people will control
a majority of the State delegations, and
consequently the committee on credeD-
tails. Stranger things have happened.
1t may be that the convention will at
tempt to harmonize the fighting ele-
ments by admitting both delegations
with half a vote. This was attempted
with contesting New York delegations
in 1s4S. but both walked out of the con-
ventiOn, and the conventions nominee
was defeated by the loss of New York.
Another important fact which the
spirit and action of the anti-snap con-
ventiOn developed was an unyieldlng
hostility to Hill and his managers.
There was no flag of truce. no sign of a
desire to adjust the troubles which have
divided the Democracy of New York in
to two hostile camps. The voice of the
convention was for Cleveland. 1t had
no second chOice-no compromise candi-
date like ex-Secretary Whitney to offer

ground between the two hostile camps
where Clevelandites and Hillites could
meet and attempt to patch up a truce.
On the contrary, so far as Hill and his
followers are concerned, the convention
Haunted the black flag of determination
in their faces. 1t will support the nomi-
nee of the Chicago convention. it de-
clares, but in SO declaring the anti-snap
leaders were confid ent that Mr.. Cleve-
land will be the nominee. 1t is now
probable that about all the interest to
the outside world in the Chicago on
ventiOn will center in the fight between
the Cleveland and Hill factions of New
York. This conflict in New York makes
that State practically sure, as Henry
Watterson has said, for the Republican
candidate if the action at Minneapolis
shall be for the best interest of the party.

They have no factions nor differences. and

Thirteenth district is Democratic by but q

After D Scalp.

The Hon. Jesse Overstreet. of Franklin.
member of the Republican State committee,
was at the Denison Hotel last evening.
He stated to a journal reporter that the
Republicans of the Fifth district. in which
he resides. will make a great effort to re-
tire George w. Cooper. the present member
of Congress from that district, to private
life. A feature of the situation that gives
encouragement is the waning popularity
of Mr.. Cooper. Four years ago Cooper
carried the district by seven hundred
votes. leading the Democratic State ticket
by $50 votes. In the smashup of two years
ago Cooper was elected by about 100
votes. but he fell behind the State ticket
fifty-fOur votes. This weakening of
Cooper's hold uDon his constituents il at
tributed to his malicious and unrelenting
warfare on Commissioner Raum. which
has allenated the votes of Democratic sol
diers. The Democratic majority in the
Fifth district is not over from five to seven
hundred. If Cooper was weaker than
his party In 1890 for the reason stated he
will be still weaker this year. The Repub-
licans are casting about for the strongest
man TO pit against him, and when he is
nominated a determined effort Will be
made to CoOper's defeat.
Mr.. Overstrees is not q delegate to the
Minneapolis convention. but he will leavo
TO- morrow for the seat of war to help whoop
things up for Harrison.
