Judge l.. ID. Ihoman, Of Chicago, who
came TO Minneapolis yesterday TO take
the place Of &. 5. barrow at the
Cleveland club banquet, is a typ
icaI Democrat. big-framed. broad
shouldered, massiye-headed and big
Drained. lie is, too. man who is
not at all ayerse 10 speaking his
mind OIL political Questions. He Is for
Grover Cleveland for president, and he
does not care who knows that he is a
Cleveland man. He is not so hide bound
IN his preferences, however that he
could not follow some other Democrat
10 victory next November should 1t be
deemed eXpedient in the convention to
nominate some other than Cleveland.
While discussing the presidential stu
alton yesterday lie said:
1t Is plain that the sentiment OF the Dem
ocrats Of the entire country Is for Cleveland.

per cent Of the party would be found IN his
favor. But with the large proportion OF I'M
instructed delegates that are coming 10 Chi
cago II may he found advisable to nominate
another man.
There il a feeling however. among some
OF the leading Democrats that Cleveland
buOuIu DC nominated, 10 mater what MT.
Hi and New FORK may do. These men say
that II will DC possible when the call of states

land IS bound 10 be the candidate OF the
party before the state OF New York Is reached.

may lie brought into line, and The vote may
be made unanimous on The first ballot
Some OF these men hold the view that Mr..
Hill can lie put into about this position:

choice OF two things Go with us in the
nomination and election Of Cleveland or
defeat him II you do the latter you realize
what will be your infamy in the eyes Of the
Democrats OF this country

ship that means nothing definite.
Judge Thoman says that all Illinois Is
for Palmer, should Cleveland not be
nominated. Personally, he is for Camp
bell. of Ohio, because Campbell IS a
personal friend anu because he is
young man. The young man is the man
Of the day, In his opinion. He says no
before the war statesman like Bayard
can be nominated. He thinks that Rus
sell. OF Massachusetts, Is too young to
be given place at the head OF the
ticket, and he rules Gray off the track
since the conventions in indiana.
Henry +. Brown says he has received
a telegram from Gov. Merriam, and that
the governor stamps all the talk about
his being for Lind for governor as false.
Brown gives it out straight that Aler-
Tiam is for Nelson. because there is
every reason why Nelson should be
nominated. Brown says those reasons
are that Nelson will pull the Alliance
vote because il is strongly Norwegian,
while the SwedeS are more given to
Democracy. He says further:
Nelson is a Norwegian and Lind is
Swede. They are both good men. but ii is
plain that Of the two we should nominate
SIDES Lind is not candidate During
all this time that Lind has been talked of
] have seen kilograms from Lind. in which
he said that under 10 circumstances would
he be II candidate. I'll tell you what il looks
like TO me. 1t seems to me Nashburn and
Davis have done Il little fine work TO scare
Nelson off, lie is pretty easily frightened
into believing that there may be fight made
against MIN. and they seem to have taken ad-
vantage of it,
