WASHINGTON, July s, 1895.

Inc man VINO cOulQ nave preYen-
ted Mr.. Cleveland's nomination in
'92 is determined to prevent his
nomination in '96. That man is
Senator German. 1t is well known
that German had only to say one
word at the Democratic Convention
of '92, and Mr.. Cleveland's uomi-
nation 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 himself, 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
whether he can get it himself or
not. His supporters are some of
the shrewdest workers in the Demo-
cratic party and, like him, thew all
dislike Mr., Cleveland. These men
are taking especial pains to inform
the Democratic voters-by other
methods that the party papers
&hat it was the killing of the Wilson
Tariff Bill, which was Mr., Cleye-
lands own measure, and the adop-
ton of the Gorman-B rice 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
bankruptcy. The German men are
perfectly confident that they can con-
troll more than one-third of the
Democratic Convention and defeat
the nomination 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 highness, Grover l. That
lingo Fourth of July speech which
Mr.. Campbell made before Tam
many is what did the business, 1t
was taken as a personal insult by
Mr.. Cleveland, and coming from
the source it did it was especially
CALLING. Mr.. Campbell in addition
to having been given the privilege
of declining place in the cabinet,
has controlled to much greater ex-
tent than any other one man,
the Federal appointments which
have been given to Ohio men under
this administration, and his loyalty
to Mr.. Cleveland was confidently
counted upon. 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 member of
his administration. Mr.. Campbell
passed through Washington on his
way bdOh HOlle, uub ut ueCIIucu W
discuss the effect that speech had
had or was likely to have upon his
relations with the administration
but from the talk of some of his
personal friends it is clear that his
object IN making the speech was
not only to announce his candidacy
for the presidential nomination but
to discount the effect of the robust
declaration in favor of the enforce
ment Of the spirit and letter of the
Monroe Doctrine which everybody
expects to be made by the Republi-
cans in Congress very early in the
next session. Mr.. Campbell knows,
as everybody who has given the
subject any attention does, that
nine-tenths of the people in this
country are opposed to the humble
