The Vice Presidency is being discussed
to-day for the first time. Rusk and Alger
are most frequently mentioned, but Hon.
William Warner Of Missouri, eX-Com-
mander-in-C Chief. q. A. r., and the nomi-
nee for Governor in his State, is men
toned, as are also Senators Washburne
and Davis of Minnesota.
SLOW WORK PREDICTED.
1t looks now as if the convention would
be slow in getting to work The tenn
porary organization will be effected and
then the leaders will begi.. sparring for
advantage, and the permanent organiza-
tlon Will not likely be effected for two or
three days. Depew, Murat Halstead and
others of the cooler heads are working to
restore the better feeling among the fac
tlons, believing the present feeling threat
ems to develop bitterness such as to
make the nomination of Cleveland more
probable, and endanger the success of the
Republican candidate.
