Written for THE GHAPHIC.
L had "a long conference the other
day with the enthusiastic Jerry simp-
son who had just returned from his
oratOrial triumphs AZ st. Louis. The
alliance men under the banner and
insignia OF She peoples party, he says,
viii make their nominations shortly
after the other two parties have made
theirs. The popular feeling in favor
Of third party ticket has been grow
ing stronger and stronger ever since
the split ia the New York democracy
/ has become hopelessly irrecOnCilable
I'VE have a chance, - said Jerry, Ito
carry the election into the house even
if we fail to carry sufficient electoral
votes to elsct our ticket, W Eich expect
and shall CONT nue. to expect until the
votes are counted in November
TIE CANDIDATE.
The name of the man wh0H she peO-
pie will confde in as their standard
bearer is James q. Weaver, and he
comes from the state of Iowa, which
has recently thrown OF the shackles Of
ma,hine politics by electing with indie
pendent votes a man whom the demo-
Gratis claim as Of their number, but
who is nevertheless a true independent
party zzJFE with sympatBiss fully

HILL AND HIS BOOM.
Senator HilIs presidential boom is
still an absorbing topic. Influenced by
the Albany endorsement, many hith-
ertO nOn-cOmmital democrats are raj
lying around his standard. bIr.Springer
the leader Of the majority ia the house,
who has always been considered an
ardent Cleveland man, says:
Until the meeting Of the Albany
convention it was not authoriEativsly
determined what course would be pur-
sued by the democracy OF New York
between Senator Hill and ex-Presidsnt
Cleveland. That question has now
been settled. The democracy of New
I ork has but one candidate, and for
him its delegation has been instructed
70 vote as a uniJ-With a manimity
rarely witnessed in state conventions.
How much the friends Of Nj. Cieve-
land may regret this action, they must,
As democrats, accept it as final. It
would be folly for other states to insist
upon Mr.. Cisvelaud's nomination, when
his own state had unanimously de-
clared for another. If Mr.. Cleveland's
Name is to be presented TO the demo-
cratic national convention it must bel
presented by his own state. He must
come ia at the front door if at all"
The hustiing senator will at once
take steps TO secure the support Of
delegations from the south. Arrange
ments are being made by which he is
70 be invited &c make series of
SPEECHES in these states upon the
issues Of the day; by which means his
friends hope he may strengthen him
self where hs is weakest bEr. Hills
latest eolg2 is the securing through the
national committee, OF fouF-dfths OF
the seats at the Chicago convention. /
Twelve thousand Hin followers seated
ia a convention hall with a capacity
Of 1000, are expected to shout their
idol into nomination.
