PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES
Gossip Concerning The Chances Of Har.
riSon and Blaine.
MYSTERIOUS VISITS TO NEW YORK
Plat Of New York Is Opposed to The Nomi-
nation Of Harrison--General Clark.
son Also Fav0rs Blaine.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-rhe Sun SAYS:
"Hon. Stephen b. E!kins, secretary of
war, arrived at the Fiith.ayenle hotel
last night from Washington. The visit
OF Secretary Elkins so soon aftet the pill
grimage OF Hon. Thomas G. Plat to the
capital, is regarded as significant by
those who understand what is going on
in the republican party in the state. Mir.
Plat denies that on his visit 20 called on
the president. He says that he went to
tue City Of Magnificent Distances for the
purpose OF securing certain contracts for
the United States Express Company.
The truth might just as well be known
now AS at any other time. MIR. Plait is
directly, emphaticaily and positively OPP
posed TO the denomination of President
Harrison. 1t has been considered good
republican politics in the state for the
last several months to give out that the
state machine was for Harrison. There
has been string to all these statements.
Mr.. Piatt has nothing to thank Mr.. Har-
rison for. He is for MIR. Blaine as his
first choice there is no mistake about
this ststement. The visit Of Mr.. Elkins
to New York may mean that Mr.. Har-
rison is alive to the situation MIR. P!att
and all his friends are awaiting anxiously
some word from MIR. Blaine. General
Clarkson and others in the national re-
publican committee have advised Mr..
Blaine to stand as a candidate. He is
now soliciting their advice. He does not
feel we'll at times, and occasionally, it is
sad, he feels like writing letter to some
personal friends, declaring that he will
not become candidate. With MIR.
Blaine out OF it, his friends have an idea
that MIR. Harrison will then have first
chance in the Minneapolis convention.
But New York state republicans are at
least the dominant element in the party
and have talked about another candidate.
THIS candidate is Robert 7. Lincoln, now
minister to the court Of st. James. 1t is
said that Senator Hiscock differs with
Mr.. Plat in this opposition to Mr.. Har-
rison, but MIR. Hscock disagreed with
Mr.. Platt at Rochester over the nomina.
ton of j. sloat Fassett for governor Mr..
Platt on that occasion told Mr.. Hiscock
that Fassett was to be the man and Mr..
Hisccck acQuiesced.

CUSTOM OF BUYING OPTIONS

The Natter Attention.

Etc Gustcm Has Tendency to DepresS
Prices. and The Farmer Is the
Principal Loser.

WAsaiSGToS, Feb. 6--John Whit
aaker, n large pOrkpacker ct st. Louis
and Wichita, Kan, today addressed the
house committee on agriculture in advo-
Sraey of the anti option bill. Whitaker
sai6 the tendency Of short selling was to
,aepress prices and interfere with legit-
imgte trade. The farmers, he said, were
net compelled to market their grain in
,stesd Of selling it but the experience Of
tlie past eight years had taught that,
with this unlimited short selling, the
hest time for them to sell grain Was when
it was harvested. Whitaker said the
wheat exported this year probably aver.
saged in price 95 cents bushel, and If
this proposed law had been enforced, he
believed it would have brought consider
ably more than 81 per bushel. He did
net think the law would hurt the owners
I'D grain or provisions, because if fictitious
ssfering was done away with the market
provisions, aud, there being a smaller
quantity offered, prizes would be- better.
VA his Judgment fictitious selling pro.
sinced an abnormal condition OF the
market, which defeated the law of cup
ply and demand. He frequently received
aetters from Europe saving the writer's

American market could only be kept
STEADY.
THR CUSTOM DEFENDED.
WASHINGTON, Feb Ga. j. Sawyer
aof Minneapolis, appeared before the
house committee on agriculture again
today. He defended the custom of buy
ing options on exchange to cover posi-
bic loss on wheat in elevators. He said
chat spectators carried the surplus for
the actual wheat buyers, and enabled
them to sell their wheat as fast "a it
could be absorbed. If wheat in store
was showed forward the markets would
b. glutted and the cost Of wheat would
fall to very low price. Mattnllath Of
indianapolis. next attacked dealings in
futures. The greater part of trading in
wheat was done between October and
April, and during that time tue farmers
had to accept the depressed prices
sraased by the short seller.
