pTODdDle the emu VIII De reached by
tomorrow.
The complex situation last night
in which n bitter feud between the
factions was the principal factor,
coupled with the desire to put Hanna
and the Mckinley managers on rec
ord continues this morning without
any material change, halt being
occasioned by a desire to have the
presidential matter settled before
launching into the vice presidential
fight.
At Ohio headquarters, up to $50
O'Clock no definite answer had been
given to Miller or Cornelius Bliss as
to their proposition to secure aid in
their fight against Morton and they
are getting rather uneasy.
When Warner Miller was asked
to speak upon Hanna's uncertain at
titude, he said: Mr.. Hanna will
show his hand after the nomination
of Mckinley has been accomplished.
Wait until then. We have had sew
eral delegates telegraph to Governor
Mortonas to his vice presidential as
pirations, but he has not been heard
from as yet"
AS tllt "Olt II WIS tNl-
dent that all influence that the Miller
crowd could bring to bear will be
used with Chauncey Depew to get
him to withdraw from nominating
Morton for president. 1t was urged
that it is perfectly evident that Nor
ton is in the race for vice president
and that therefore he should with
draw from the presidency. Depew's
answer was: Morton assures me he
is in the race. | must nominate him
according to agreement"
The announcement made just as the
convention was called to order that
Foraker would nominate Morton for
the vice presidency just as soon as
the ballot for president was finished,
practically settled the gossip of the
morning. 1t was plain that when
the motion to nominate Mckinley by
reclamation is made, it was also TO
include the name of Levi Z. Morton
for vice president. At 1880 1t was |
believed that this certainly will be |
the case and ii looks as if the plan |
formed would carry although there |
may be some opposition.
