WASHINGrON, D. c., March Zone
OF The most prominent and best IN
formed Southern Democrats in Congress
gave your correspondent to-day an ex-
planation OF the attitude OF the South
with relation TO the Presidential nom
ination. This explanation is worthy Oh
some attention, even without the gen
tleman'S name, as IL is generally agreed
in by Southern members and Senators
and is reasonable.
Mr.. Hnl," he said, ''cannot rely on
any material support in the South
The southern people might acquiesce IN
his nomination il an overwhelming
demand for II came from New YORK
and other doubtful States, but he has no
original strength worth mentioning
anywhere in the South. 1t is ike re-
peating q self-evident truth 10 say that
the southern people universally tavor
Mr.. Cleveland.
They prefer him 10 any other candl-
date, and in yielding their preference 70
the influence Of other sections they
would be guided by nothing but that
policy, which they have long felt 1t nee
essary 90 follow, OF not pressing their
choice upon the whole country. The
only thing that would lead the South
ern people 10 consider Mr.. Hill favor
ably would be the argument OF his
strength in New York State. The little
Hill sentiment that has been aroused
has been based on nothing whatever
but the assertion that he could carry
New York more certainly than any
other man,
This assertion is now being very
seriously called into question, and while
the Southern people would favor the
nomination OF Mr.. Cleveland, independ-
ent of any strength that he might have
in New York, the lesSt questioning OF
Mr.. HIPS strength in that State will
deprive him of every Southern vote In
the convention. The little furry which
Mr.. Hill's friends tried to excite Tor
him in the South has almost entirely
subsidized, and the most that he can eX-
pect from there is a reluctant acqules-
cense should the North and West in
sist uuon his nomination, thing which
does not seem at all probable at this
time

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 12.-Re-
ports from Texas indicate Mr.. Millss
chances Of going to the Senate as ma
terially increased. The three candl-
dates FOR the SenatOrshiD are Mills,
Colberson, and Chiffon, who is now
serving out the term of Senator Regan,
by appointment from Governor Hogg.
II has been believed for some time
that Mr.. Colberson would be the most
formidable OF Mr.. Mills rivals, and IL
vas with the expectation OF being elect
ed TO the Senate that Mr.. Colberson de-
clined the Interstate COmmissionership.
Rather anodd situation is said to have
developed in Texas. The fight has mar
rowed down 10 a contest for supremacy
between two rival candidates for the
nomination for the GoYernOrship. The
election Of Mr.. Chiffon would be regard
ed as an endorsement Of Governor Hogg
for denomination and an indication OF
his supremacy in the State. Therefore,
all the anti-HOgg men are compelled to
combine against Chiffon. The rival
candidate for the Governorship
is Mr.. Clark, whose main support
is identical with that Of Mr.. Mills.
Therefore, the success of Mr.. Mills is
regarded as important in order 10 ad-
vance the candidacy Of Mr.. Clark. Out
OF this situation grows an apparent ne
cessity for the entire opposition TO
Hogg TO throw their strength in favor
OF Mr.. MillS's election to the Senate as
a rebuke TO the Governor for having
appointed Mr.. Chiffon without consult
ing the wishes Of the people. 1t is gen.
orally conceded by Texans that this
materially increases Mr.. Mills's pros

together right. Tho Third-partyites in
North Carolina, by their "tom-tom poll
CIV and their efforts TO make 1t appear
that their party and the Alliance Of the
State are one, have created at the North
most erroneous impression as to their
strength. in these tactics they were
