| Washington, July S.The man
who could have prevented Mr.. cleve-
lands nomination in oz is determin-
ed to prevent it in go. That man is
Senator German. 1t is we'll known
that German had only to say one word
at the Democratic Convention of ga,
and Mr.. Cleveland's nomination
would have been impossible Cor
man wanted that nomination himself,
and when canvass of the convention
showed that while he could get votes
enough pledged to defeat Cleveland,
he could not get enough to be nomin
ated himself, he declined to allow the
use of his name before the convention
and Mr.. Cleveland was nominated.
He wants the 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 ofthe 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
papers-that it was the killing ofthe
Wilson Tariff Bill, which was Mr..
Cleveland's own measure, and the
adoption of the Gorman-Brice Tariff
Bill, which was publicly denounced
although afterwards signed under
compulsion by Mr. Cleveland,
that saved the industrial and COM
mefcial interest of the country fiom
ruin and the National Treasury from
bankruptcy. The German men are
perfectly confident that tLey can con-
troll more than one-third of the Demo
cratic Convention aud defeat the NOM
ination 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 publ
cation, but they are out for blood, so
to speak, and they are getting it, too.
One of the lew 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 l. That jingo Fourth of
July speech which Mr.. Campbell made
before Tammany is what did the bust
ness. 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 a place in the cabinet, has
controlled to much greater extent
than any other one man the Federal
appointments which have been given
to Ohio uen under this adininistra-
ton, and his loyalty to Mr.. Cleveland
was confidently counted upon. But
that is all over now, and if Mr.. Camp.
bell 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 back home, but he declined to
discuss the effect that speech 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 nom-
ination but to discount the effect of
the robust declaration in favor of the
enforcement of the spirit and letter of
the Monroe Doctrine which everybody
expects to be made by the Rcpubli-
cans in Congress very early in the
next session. Mr.. Campbell knows,
as everybody who has given the sub
ject any attention does, that nine
tepths of the people in this country
are opposed to the humble, surrender
everything foreign policy of the pres
ent administration hence his indirect
condemnation and Reputation of it.
Mr.. Willis l.. Moore, the new chief
of the Weather Bureau, is a Journey
man printer, a protege of the late
Frank Hatton, and the manner in
which he secured the appointment,
although himself Republican, shows
him to have the proverbial shrewd-
ness Of the craft. He has been con-
nected with the bureau for about 20
years. having originally enlisted as
private in the Signal Service, and has
for several years been chief forecaster
at the Chicago office. He has used
system of his own in making wealth
er forecasts, which have proven to be
the most accurate made in the coun-
try. He claims that the system was
discovered by himself, and it was his
refusal to give away his secret that
put him at the head of the bureau.
Secretary Morton wanted the other
forecasters to have the benefit of this
system, but it was only when Moore
was sure of being put at the head OF
the bureau that he agreed to part with
his secret. The average printer
doesn't need anybody to tell him how
to work good thing when it comes
his way.
