morning. The delegation was a. .ompamed
by a considerable number who came nero
ly as gentlemen from Texas That pc
cullar something about Texans altrAc ed |
the usual SPECIAL attention.
no Texans ~ q whole do not know |
exactly where they ARE AT" a. TO chc &c |
of a president. There Is no doub; that |
Bland has the lead OF all o,hcr canli- |
dates. but the gallant Mii'ciitlan has not |
even an assured mnjoriy. II is the gen-
or,l feeling that the choice If canii- !
date depends more upon iut1rc oontin-
pcnc,es than upon present preierone, =
While therefore. the Exams are coua,eli
in the Bland columns, 1t is BY no means
certain the delegation VIII 50 remain ine
TEXANS feel that bland - the logical can
didutc. bui they also tel that the silver
question is bgger than any man; #,
therefore 1t should deNelop That Blana
| is moi the man available Tor the victory
| expected. the Texans VIII readily sac
| rice their personal preferences
| Next to Bland, Bc,cs OF Iowa sef.n 10
| nave the pull. Matthews Of lnduua also
F! has many admirers The Texans have
| not yet organized. but VIII ha,u :. meet
| Ing tomorrow Night tMondAD. Cunclson

| delegation. kctgan VIII be put upon the
| committee on platform and resolutions,
| while other important positions OF honor
| wll be distributed TO Hcgg. Bailey and
