THINGS OF MUCH MOMENT.
1t is difficult to determine which
is interesting the members Of the
league the more-the probable. re-
port of the committee on resolu-
tions or the election Of a president
Of the National League. New York
state leagues will 60 there 500
strong, according to last reports,
and every man Of them will hustle
for all that he is worth for General
Edwin A. McAlpin. Gen. Alpin
was president of the New York
State League of Republican clubs,
and he is extremely popular with
the league members throughout
the country. The Massachusetts
delegation will probably put Henry
Cabot Lodge in the field as their
candidate. Governor Brown, Of
Rhode Island, may break the New
England vote, which probably
would otherwise go solidly to Sem
ator Lodge. Pennsylvania will
harmonic on Governor Hastings,
who was an unsuccessful candidate
for the honor at the Louisville'con-
vention. NJ. H. De Young, Of Cali
fornia, who was also an u~nsuccess-
full aspirant at the same conven-
ton, is expected to cross swords
again with Mr.. Hastings.
SOME OF THE DARK HORSES.
There is considerable talk~of
sending the presidency south, to
Fl. Clay Evans, of Tennessee, and
should the convention get into a
deadlock, Senator Stephen B. FL
kins may be brought out as a dark
horse candidate. ID. d. Woodman-
see, the president Of the Ohio State
league, is likely to be a formidable.
figure in the contest, unless Cow
ernor Mckinley does not care to
show his strength. General Har-
rison's friends also may keep w. l..
Taylor, Of Indianapolis, out of it
for the same reasons. Utah has a
candidate in Colonel Isaac Trum-
DO, while General Clarkson may
think it wise to swing his strength
to A. b. Cummins, OF Des Moines.
General Clarkson vas president Of
the league in the last presidential
John Goodnow, Of Min
neapolis, is expected to corral the
Minnesota delegates, and Senator
John Patton, Jr., Of Michigan, will
have General Alger and his friends
back of him.
The New York men are by no
means disheartened by the number
Of candidates, and they say that
they are going to the convention to
land their man and will do it.
There will be a meeting of Meal
pins friends this afternoon at the
Fifth avenue hotel. Several Of
them have been doing some quiet
canvassing among the clubs in the
near by states, and they make ia.
vorable reports. Headquarters will
be kept open in the hotel until the
day before the New York delega-
ton starts for Cleveland.
THOUSANDS EXPECTED.
