WASHINGTON, ID. O., April %.
A broad intimation is made by Representa-
tive Shively aud some other hoosier demo-
Gratis here that after all the proceedings of
the Indiana democratic convention on Thurs
day, which conditionallv instructed its dele
gates for Mr.. Cleveland, was not Cleveland
victory but on the contrary Hill triumph.
II is stated that a tacit agreement was made
some months ago at Albany whereby Gray
was to help Hill and the latter was to assist
the former IN securing delegates, the net re-
suits to he finally pooled in convention for
the one having the largest numter and that
Gray was accepted by Hill as a running mato
provided the ticket could be made to read
Hill and GRAY.
The intimation was made today that under
the instructions of Thursday the Indiana
delegates to Chicago will sec from the very
start an opening for Gray and vote for him.
but the moment they discover that their in
iluence will help Hill they will move in u
body to the New Yorker, and vice versa. AT
no time, it is stated, are tho Indiana dele
gates to support Cleveland when their votes
will materially help his chance. In other
words Gray men are Hill men in disguise,
despite instructions to the contrary.
Not in the Cleveland Column.
Senator Hill is reported to have said when
he read the instructions of the Indiana con-
ventlon of Thursday that they were per-
fcctly satisfactory 10 him, and that Indiana
was not In the Cleveland column. He has
since that time figured the state outside of
the Cleveland line. The significant silence
| of the state platform upon the subject OF
| silver is said to have been the work of Hill
through Gray men. 1t was the wish Of
| Cleveland that FREQ coinage DO renounced.
Senator Voorhees,. when asked to explain
| the result of the Indiana convention, said
other things. zone nrOminent result
was compromise resolution endorsing
| Cevelan1s administration without instruc-
| tions for him. but instructlng that Governor
| Grnys name be presented to the convention
and all honorable means used for his nomin
| alton in the event that Mr.. Cleveland does
| not carry the convention Since the demo
Gratis REQUIRE two-thirds vote to nominate,
| Senator Voorhees, and other prominent demo-
| Gratis here say Cleveland will not carry"
the convention, and therefore the Indiana
| delegates under their instructions will not
| be obliged to vote for Cleveland. They will
| vote for Gray till it becomes apparent that
| Hill can be nominated, then they will sup
| port him.
| For Cleveland and Boics.
Editor D.. n. Richardson of the Davenport
| Ia., Democrat, democrat OF the Hard
Shell type, is here and says: 'Out in Iowa
nobody disputes the popularity of Grover
| Cleveland. Mr. Hill has no following in our
state or course, Governor Boies is q primo
| favorte with Iowa democrats. He Is not a
| seeker after Office and is making no effort to
boom himself, but | only voice the couserva-
| tive sentiment of the Iowa democracy when
| say that should Governor Boies be put on
| the presidential ticket, either as first or sec
ond, the ticket would carry the state
Cleveland and Boies strikes me US winning
| combination"

Senator Paddock today introduced bill
to pension William H. Pierre, formerly of
| Nebraska.
so near of final passage in the last congress,
has been reintroduc,d into the senate by
Senator Wilson. II the Paddock pure fooa
bill Is not adopted by the house it is very
probable that the cotton seed oil states will
have to accept the bill! which will Impose q
tax on compound lard, and which is, there
foro, more of q burden TO cotton states.
The Paddock bill meets all the aims desired
by the framer Of the compound lard bill,
and at the same time has none of the oojec-
| tions
Senator Paddock, as chairman from the
committee on agriculture and forestry yes
terday reported favorably the bill for testing
the strength of American timber.
Petitions have been received from a largo
number of Grand Army of the Republic posts
throughout the country and almost every
veteran in Utah in favor of turning the eX-
Mormon Industrial homo at Salt Lake City
into national homo for disabled volunteer
soldiers. The petitions will be presented to
the senate by Senator Paddock and 1T is be-
lieved they may have the desired effect.
1t is probable that the application OF j. II.
| Cock of Harrison, Sioux county, for the posi-.
tion of Indian agent at Pine Ridge, together
with all of his endorsements, will be laid be-
fore the cabinet by Secretary Noble on next
Tuesday. 1t was stated today that tho sec.
retary fayors the appointment Of Mr.. Cook,
although the South Dakota delegation in
congress protests very vigorously against the
appointment of anyone outside of their state.
1t is believed that the president is In favor
of according the position to a South Dakotan
upon the principle that each state should ill
its own offices. Mr.. Cook has. however,
quite strong endorsements from South Da-
kota, where he has property interests.
In the desert land entry case of Elizabeth
Patrie from Blackfoot, Idaho, Assistant Sec
