St. Paul daily globe., 1892-06-29

Bldwell seems to have clear field for
the presidency. Many cool-headed peo-
pie think he is pretty sure of nomlna-
ton on the first ballot. Nevertheless
the Illinois delegation tonight III caucus
decided to present the name OF Judge
David Mccullough, of Peoria, for the
president. The Illinois delegation is
reported also to make fight to have
the national headquarters at Chicago i'll
stead of at New York. The Georgia
delegation met in caucus late tonight
and decided to present the name of Rev.
Sam Small for wee president.
Miss Wizards Task.
Frances Z. Willard, president of the
National w. G. Il. u. and delegate at
large from Illinois, said today that she
proposed to struggle at every OppOr-
tunity, in committee, caucus and con-
vention. for what she believed would be
coup d'etat. the adoption of reSOlu-
ton by the convention pledging the Pro-
hibition party to withdraw their presi-
Dental candidate if the Peoples party
convention at Omaha put up man sat
iSfactOry TO the national Prohibition
committee and authorizing the commit
tee to determine III due time whether
the Omaha nominee was satisfactory.
She will also seek to have the name OF
the ProhibitiOnist party changed to the
"HOme Protection party"
Miss Wizards idea is that the Pro-
hibitiOn party.Organization should, how
ever, in any event remain intact and
the campaign be fought out by it on
prohibition lines. while the Peoples
party organization should conduct the
battle from their side on industrial
issues. the common end in view making
both organizations harmonious. Miss
Willard admitted, gOOd-humOredly, that
the plan had already met
Violent Opposition
and was likely to encounter more, with
Scant announcement as to ultimate sue
cess. For il, she said, with a tinge of
sarcasm, she had already been assailed
as prohibition mugwump." Miss
Willard intimated that she was rather
proud than otherwise of the epithet, and
that she would not be stopped by such
methods. The anti-fusiOn sentiment
is very strong. Mrs. Cougar said:
Fusion with the Peoples party would
be fully as unwise as fusion with either
sI the two old parties. The Peoples
party is on record as whisky party
quite as much as the Democrats OF Re-
publicanS. Even if the Peoples party
adopted prohibition and woman suff-
rage, it would be unwise, for their
financial policy would drive level-head-
ed tinaucierS from our ranks. Their
interest Sub-treasury scheme would
close
Nearly Every Endowed College
in the United States, and the colleges
are a large part Of our strength. Our
policy is to work. win and wait. Oh,
yes, we are just like the Republicans
and Democrats on silver-no one can
tell how one is on silver because he or
she is in the Prohibition party"
Rev. Sam Small is urging Walter B.
Hill, of Georgia, as vice presidential
candidate, with "whOm to meet the
Peoples party, who will nominate Tom
Watson for vice president, OH their own
dunghill." Mr.. Hill is vice president
of the American Bar association. an
able lawyer and speaker, and was for
merly Democrat.
Georgia, Mr.. Small says, wants neith
er Sewell nor DemoreSt, but is for the
latter as against the former. The Pro-
hibitiOn sparty, he said, will not be
bessed any more than the old parties.
and lie does not care if DemoreSt has
not his own state, as it is factional af
fair. The Maryland delegation has
vice-presidential candidate in Joshua
Levering, and half-dOZen other states
also have men for the place.
