SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 25.-All the
talk is Of Whitney this morning. The
popular tide seems to have turned to-
wards him. He is as much the favorite
Today as Judge Gaynor was Yesterday
i3here is not SO much mention of Gay
hypr now, because by some his letter Is
accepted as an absolute refusal 70 run.
Il His admirers, however refuse to be-
eve that he is out of the race, They
IRE of the opinion that IL the romina-
lon were rendered to him unanimously
De would not decline it.
The same may be said Of Mr.. Whit
hey. It is not known that he is a can
Pidate. but under the circumstances, II
,Ihe Convention insisted and made him
1.-THE unanimous choice, as a man wear
ing the uniform Of a Democrat, he could
lot refuse the command Of his party.
Again. the same thing is said of HILL
1t is not without the bounds of posi-
t;lites that the Convention might force
the nomination on the Senator.
II Is a Guessing Match.
This is the situation this morning. No
man can tell with any degree of GER
tainty who the nominee will be. 1t is u
guessing match and not a sure thing for
anybody. Mr.. Whitney will be on United
States soil before the Convention ad-
tourns. If no other candidate is agreed
ION by tomorrow arrangements will I'M
dOubtedly be made to communicate with
Mr.. Whitney at the first possible mo-
ment.
Mr.. Whitney was not a candidate
when he left for Europe. and he has
| since reiterated in interviews with him
eabled from London that he Is not in
the race.
At the time of his departure from
New York Gov. Flower was believed
TO be the candidate, and Mr.. Whitney
would under no circumstances oppose
him. Now that Gov. Flower is out of II
and the field is free, Mr.. Whitney
might be prevailed upon to become the
standard-bearer of his party.
But he will not be selected II Senator
Hill has his way, as pointed out In these
dispatches yesterday. Senator Hill is
fearful that Mr.. Whitney might over
shadow him as a Presidential possibility.
