TO CAPTURE rENNsYLvANIA.
There is a report in circulation which may
have no lit.le influence upon Mr. Hills candi-
dacy. IL is asserted by men IN high position
that a deal Is pending for control of the
Pennsylvania delegation This delega-
ton is classed for cleveland and Is regarded
as absolutely committed 20 the eX-Presldent

its transfer e. Hall on certain conditions The
u
paper. which has been a staunch Cleveland
journal and which has been extremely
severe IN its condemnation of Senator
Hill and lis methods spent two hours
yesterday in close conference with
tho New York Senator. Several other Penn
tylvania Demo cratic leaders have been con-
ierrng with Mr. Hill. The basis of the
negotiations is said TO be that the Pennsyl-
vania vote shall be thrown to Hill, at
Chicago. on condition that If he shall be
.s.T .Io Dot
shall be made Attorney-General. Ii is
claimed that the Pennsylvania delega-
ton. with its siXty-fOur votes. can
be controlled by Governor Iattison
and his immediate friends This report Is not
one of those rumOrs that float about regard
inga presidential canvass. II comes from per

the support of that State at an opportune mo-
ment.
Senator Hill has received kilograms from
different places and persons IN the South
