we would. 1t is the strongest nomination
that could have been made. l can't see
how many people should have thought

HILL WON'T TALK.
Senator Hill was found before 10 o'clock
this morning in his sitting room at the
Arlington. He had been up until nearly 5
O'Clock, but notwithstanding his lack OF
sleep he appeared to be fresh, calm and COLI
1ected. He received a reporter cordially and
appeared to be cheerful aud relieved from
the strain which has been imposed upon him
for so many months, although he made no
pretense of unna tural buoyancy. In
response to questions as to his opinion
of the action of the convention and
as 70 his future course, he
said that he had decided to announce to the
Associated Press and TO other seekers for
information that he must politely but firmly
decline to be interviewed.

Presidents Harrison's known earnestness of

SENATOR HARRIS TO WORK FOR HIM.
Senator Harris Of Tennessee have seri-
ously doubted the policy of nominating any
prominent democrat of the state of New
York because of the bitterness which exists
between the democratic factions in that
state; and have believed that any accept
able candidate from another state would be
more likely to carry the state Of
New York than a New Yorker who
had been identified with either of
the conteDdlng factions. While l have
fully recognized the splendid ability
aud absolute integrity and frankness
of Mr.. Cleveland / have radically
differed with him on the silver question and
for these reasons | have not favored his
nomination. But having been nominated,
I shall Of course give the ticket an
earnest and active support l differ with
him on only one question, while l differ

every) question of national politics.

all the southern states"
II do not think there need be any doubt
about Tennessee. | am not sufficiently
familiar with the condition of affairs in the
other southern states to speak for them"
"How about the third partyp
"With Mr.. Clevesnd's nomination the
third party will assume some proportions
because OF the silver question. There is
large alliance element in Tennessee, but
only a minority of 1t (and think small
minority favor the third party movement
Almost the entire alliance element, how
ever, favor free coinage of silver. They
perhaps largely overestimate the beneficial
effect of free coinage; and Mr.. Cleveland's
position in opposition to free coinage had
been pronounced with SO much emphasis
that it will largely affect the third party
element, but not. in my opinion, TO an ex-
tent that will endanger the electoral vote
Of the state"
HARRISON WON'T COMMENT.
An effort was made by a representative
of the Associated Press to induce President
Harrison TO say what he thought Of the
nomination, but he courteously declined &c
say anything at all on the subject for pub.

Representative Blount of Georgia
1t was the best nomination we could make
under the circumstances. There was an en-
thusiasm for Mr.. Cleveland not before
evinced in any convention for any candi-

hight Of his brilliant career. In the present
condition Of American politics, Mr.. Cleve-
