CHICAGO, June l5.-lt transpires to-
night that the postponement OF the
selection OF a temporary chairman
after tic subcommittee had decided
- suggest the name of W. c. Owens
and Mr.. Wattersou moved 10 adjourn.
II was said TINS was due 10 the fact that
objections had been made To Mr..
owens by the Cleveland men. The
dissatisfaction with Mr.. Owens by the
sub-eommIttee's selection Vas conmu-
nlcated Co MIR. Watterson before the
committee adlourned and aroused the
ire of the Kentucky colonel. Alter
reaching MS room Watterson dictated
10 a reporter for the City Press associ-
alton an interview, IN w1lcn he sad
"a man was wanted who could be
trusted 10 preside with impsrtiality snd
who could start OH the convention with
. br gnt and spirited address with demo-
sratsc keynotes To IL, but IN the inter-
eI OF no clique or candidate aud VINO
should not represent the hackneyed
professional element which hangs per-
petuaAy ahout national conventions to
pick Up the honorary crumbs that lie
about loose and 10 lay the foundations
of future claim 10 Office. In the Hon.
W. &. Owens, = delegate-at-large from
Kentucky. was found siicn u man. He
has abslty, yonth. and experience. The
question OF Cleveland or anti Cleve-
land had nothing whatever to do
with the suggestion of his name;
but as soon as the Cleveland
machine. which is admirably man
aged by expert professional politicians.
backed by ready money IN abundance,
heard OF the preference of the sub
committee word came To us TO adjourn,
and desirng above all things harmony
and equity. We Adjourned our lAbors
for further consideration"

II understand they want the Hon.
A. r. Stevenson of Illinois"
what Is the objection to Mr.. steven
SOU
Personally pyue, but from q purely
pubic standpoint there seems to he
soae objection. In the first place.
do not think the south or tue young
men OF the party should be ignored.
In the second place, Illinois already has
the convention and there beng some
faction among the Illinois democrats,
it seems hardly far or safe that
we should take an Illinois man
for the temporary chairman. In the
third place. while Mr. ctevenson's de-
nsocrscy - a. uaquestlonsble as that of
ANYBODY, he sst IN congress q stinctIy

wake. and will not II we be wise, aud
lastly, Mr.. Stevenson was the holder of
a high place at Mr.. Cleveland ; hands,
