II Mayor George f. Green. OF Blnghamtop. doesn't
look out he may have interview with ex-senator

he stayed the Astor House. but ne managed to get
uptown around political headquarters When ia K

Mckinley. and the machine men might just as well

pressed the hope that Morton we Would be- nominated
but voiced the belief that Major Mckinley would be
the man to carry the standard for the Republican
party this fall.
And In reference to that interview between Mr.
Plat and Mr.. Thornton Sunday. the end Is no,
yet. Thornton is angry, and he doesn't pretend to
hide the fact. He Il still FOR Morton. but he cings
to his expressed sentiments that the machine has
been defeated and might as we'll admit the fact Mr.
Thornton Is being chared n great deal for his pun-

Vice-Presidential candidates are sprnging I'D In
the East with great frequency. Every one seems
to take II for granted that the nomination for the
Presidency will go to Ohio. Therefore the second
man on the ticket will naturally be chosen from the
East, and politicians talking about who may be
the possible choice. The announcement that ex-
Governor Bulkeey. of Connecticut. had called upon
Major Mckinley and assured him OF the support OF
Sonnectlcut ana mad long talk with Ohio's cho.ce
has led politicians TO evolve the theory that Con
nect!cut has candidate for the second place IN
the ticket, and Senator Hawey Is named as the
aspirant for the place. Politicians are Inclined 10
think that a combination with Senator Uaw.ey
made by the Mckinley men would result in the Ohio
candidate receiving the entire strength of the Com
necticut delegation
W. s. Matthews, secretary OF the Republican State
Executive Committee Of Ohio. was In the city the
other day. and any one that heard him talk about
McKlnley's chances would have been impressed by
the earnestness OF his plea for the nomination OF
Major Mckinley Mr.. Matthews Is a good Repub-
lican. and he believes the best thing for the party
to do is 10 nominate Mckinley "Why, we shall win
fall no matter who is nominated" he said. In
Ohio alone the Republicans will give 100 900 majority
for any Presidential candidate the Republicans nom-
mate, and will give 10000 ma jorty for Mckinley
Ohio Is bubbling with Mckinley enthusiasm,
and there seems TO be lots of II over the country
Mckinley will be the nominee Of the St. Louis Con-
vention and nothing can sidetrack him."
