WASHINGTON LETTER.


The man who could have prevented Mr..
Cleveland nomination in 'oz is determined
10 prevent his nomination in 90. That
man is Senator German. tits well known
that German had only to say one word at
the Democratic Convention of .o2. and Mr.
| Cleveland's nomination would have been
impossible German wanted that nOmin.
alton himself, and when a canvass of the
| convention showed that while he could get
votes enough pledged to defeat Cleveland
ne could not get enough to be nominated
himself, he declined to allow the use of his
name before the convention and Mr. Cleve.
] land was nominated He wants that nom
lnation now just as bad as he ever did, and
IS determined TO keep Mr., Cleveland out
Of 1t whether he can get il himself or not
Ills supporters are some of the shreWdest
workers in the Democratic party and. like
him, they all dislike Mr. Cleveland.
These men are taking especial pains to in /
form the Democratic vOters-bv other
methods than the party papers that it I
was the killing Of the Wilson Tariff Bill. I
which was publicly denounced although I
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 per
feetly confident that they can control more
than One-third of the Democratic cOnven-
ton and defeat the nomination of Mr.
cleveland or any man named bv him, even
# they do not succeed in nominating Cor
man They are not doing any talking for
publication, but they are out for blood,
SO 70 speak, and they are getting it, too

That lingo Fourth Of July speech which
Nr Campbell made before Tammanv is O
What did the business. 1t was taken rs Il
personal insult by Mr. Cleveland, and P
omlng from the source it did it was es-
leclally calling. Mr.. Campbell in add-
ion TO having been given the privilege of
eclinlng a place IN the cabinet, has con- y
rolled to much greater extent than any IA
ther one mau the Federal appointments a,
Which have been given to Ohio men under ST
his administration, and his LOYALTY to Mr. 90
cleveland was confidently counted upon !,
hut that is all over now, and if Mr.. Camp *
ell gets within speaking distance Of a III
lace on the Democratic National ticket he pc
I'll do so without any aid nom Mr. Cleve- CT
nd or any member Of his administration. R,
lr. Campbell passed through Washington 81,
I his way back home, but he declined to
scusS the effect that speech had had or we
as likely to have upon his relations with Oh
e administration; but from the talk of dis
me OF his personal friends tits dear that lie
S object in making the speech was not Re
Ily to announce his candidacy for the mn
nomination but to discount the
ect Of the robust declaration in favor of an'
reinforcement OF the spirit and letter of
esMOnroe doctrine which every body ex-
cts TO be made. by the Republicans in
