WASHINGTON. .Julu 8. 1895.

Washington, July 8, 1893.
The man who could have prevented
Mr.. Cleveland's nomination in '92 il
determined to prevent his nomination
in '96. That man is Senator German
had only to say one word at the Dem
ocratic Convention of 1872, and MI
Cleveland's nomination would have
been impossible. German wanted
that nomination himself, and when a
canvass of the convention showed
that while he could get votes enough
pledged TO defeat Cleveland, he could
not get enough to be nominated him
self, he declined to allow the use of
his name before the convention and
Mr.. Cleveland was nominated. He
wants that nomination now just as
bad as he ever did, and is determined
to keep Mr.. Cleveland out of it wheth-
er he can get it himself Or not. His
supporters are some of the shrewdest
workers in the democratic party, and
like him, they all dislike Mr.. Cleve-
land. These men are taking especial
pains to inform the democratic voters
by other methods than the party pa
pers-that it was the killing of the
Wilson Tariff Bill, which was Mr..
Cleveland's own measure, and the
adoption of the -Brice Tariff
Bill, which was publicly denounced
although afterwards signed under
compulsion by Mr.. Cleveland, that
saved the industrial and commercial
interests of the country from ruin and
the National Treasury from bankrupt
cy. The German men are perfectly
confident that they can control more
than one third of. the Democratic
Convention and defeat the nomina ton
of Mr.. Cleveland or any man named
by him, even if they do not succeed
in nominating German. They are not
doing any talking for publication, but |
they are out for blood, so to speak,
and they are getting it, too.
One of the few democrats who is on |
visiting terms at Gray Gables has
written to Washington friend saying
that Ex-Governor Campbell of Ohio, is
no longer persona grata to his high
ness, Grover 1. That jingo Fourth of
July speech which Mr.. Campbell made
before Tammany is what did the bus
mess. 1t was taken as personal in
suit by Mr.. Cleveland, and coming
from the source it did it was especial
ly CALLING. Mr.. Campbell, in addition
to having been given the privilege of
declining place in the cabinet, has
controlled to much greater extent
than any other one man the Federal
appointments which have been given
to Ohio men under this administra-
ton, and his loyalty to Mr.. Cleveland
was confidently counted upon. But
But that is all over now, and if
Mr.. Campbell gets within speaking
distance of place on the democratic
National ticket he will do so without
any aid from Mr.. Cleveland or any
of his administration. Mr..
passed through Washington
on his way home, but he declined
to discuss the effect that his speech
had had or was likely to have upon
his relations with the administration;
out from the talk of some of his per-
'onal friends it is clear that his object
n making the speech was not only to
announce his candidacy for the pres
Dental nomination but to discount [
he effect of the robust declaration in :
avor of the enforcement of the spirit t
md letter of the Monroe Doctrine {
which everybody expects to be made
~ the Republicans in Congress very
arly in the next session. Mr.. Camp
,ell knows, that nine tenths of the
'eople in this country are opposed to 7
he humble pie, surrender every 7
hing, foreign policy of the present S
administration; hence his indirect !
condemnation and Reputation of it. !
Mr.. Willis L. Moore, the new chief >
If TIE Weather Bureau, is a journey {
nan printer, protege of the late F.
1atton, and the manner in which he T
ecured the appointment, although q
himself a republican, shows him to e
ave the proverbial shrewdness of the b
raft. He has been connected with I,
he bureau for 20 years, having orig
nally enlisted as private in the Sig "
lal Service, and has for several years n
cen chief forecaster at the Chicago V
flee. He has used a system of his q
wn in making weather forecasts, e
Yhich have proven to be the most ac- g.
urate made in this country. He .,
laims that the system was discover e
d by himself, and it was his refusal S;
