WAsHINGTOE. Feb. 4.-Thc western
Democrats in the senate and house are
making plans to take advantage OF the
threatened revolt against Senator HIPS
program in New York. There have. been
several secret conferences in which the sit
uation and prospects were carefully can
vassed. There Is no doubt, said Senator
Bricc, that IL the west could present q
firstclass candidate, she might have an
excellent prospect of securing the prize
The names of Senators Palmer of Illinois,
Gray Of Indiana, Carlisle of Kentucky and
Governor Boies of Iowa were mentioned,
but it was conceded that they were not
sufficiently national in their relation to
the Democratic party to command the
support of the party in The east
In the event that there should be an ir-
reconcilable contest in New York between
the Hill and the Cleveland forces and that
the convention would hv forced 20 pass
these gentlemen, the tendency would,
they conceded, be more TO some other
eastern nominee than 10 any Of the west
ern names mentioned. If Governor Rus
sell of Massachusetts had more experience
in national politics he would command
prominent attention. There are other
names discussed in New York, chiefly
Whitney and Flower, but if the conven-
tion is compelled to throw both Hin and
Cleveland overheard, they will not be
likely TO select anyone from the empire
state.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.--Spriugcr's free
wool bill is meeting with considerable op-
position by some Of the Democratic mem
bers Of the ways and means committee
Three of the members, Judge Tuner. Nc
MILAN and Wilson, who are old members
Of the committee, take the ground that if
wool is TO be placed on the free list, they
want the duties on woolen manufactures
to be cut down at least rs low "a they
were in the Mills bill. They hold that IL
would be absurd for the Democrats to
agree on free wool and then to have duties
on wooden manufactures the same as i'm
posed by the Mckinley bill, with the ex-
ccption Of taking of the compensatory
duties put ON to offset the duty on raw
material To leave them in that shape
would, in his judgment. be virtual in
dorsement by the Democrats of the Nc
Kinley rates. Some friends Of Mills in
