 le'ss tbe nomination of Thurman as s'u 'urssidentiaT candidate at St. Louis, as Ea also predicted Harrisen's nom-

 1T boye no doubt that Whitney will .. nominated,n says this successful
 ,abpt "Whitney says that he does
 7. rant it and will not have 1t, but srgeptions pay no attention to the ~sbps of men in great affairs. The ',mination of Allison, Morton or Reed s,tbe republicans would have made the snocratic nomination undesirable 'ss nomination of Mckinley is a fore ,,ge conclusion; and Whitney will ac- ,ot tbe nomination. He can be leeted'
 What is the mater with Mckinney 9
 Nothing at all. There was nothing ae natter with Harrison in 1892, but ], was defeated. The big politicians iNo determined upon q course of pro. u5ure, and they wall carry it out. tis grange to me that the people do moi se through the game. It is as gauzy s vaudeville sirens skirts. The re nbliean leaders have entered into q ompact which they will keep. They rfl never again pull together for the lection of any man who is nominated Y the votes of southern delegates who annot deliver any electoral votes.
 1T such a compact was made. wher TBS t entered upen ?"
 Tt was in the West house, in Mnne-. polis, on the Saturday following the of Harrison. The compact as not confined to the campaign of N9. but to any and all future cam signs when republican candidates ioald be nominated by southern dele. aies, in spite Of the will Of the nor shern len who furnish electoral votes" 'Has not Harrison honestly support iin lS92?e
 Certainly not The national com ittee kept Up show of fight in their fifth avenue headquarters about For second street, New York, but it was mere pretense. Harrison had been lmnated by southern delegates. aFkson had been taken from the chair. anship of the national committee, al arison's dictation. and Tom Carter, le present. chairman, was substituted ater was incapable of managing a na. onal campaign, and he received only nlatiYe support from Clarkson and the ler members of the executive com lttee. knew what l was about when made bets on Cleveland's election" 'But Mckinley is not to be nom- ated With southern votes"
 Vn the contrary, he could not be 9ninated without them. You will la athat the big bosses will go a=fishing ls Year, and that therepublican party II be split into factions. There will aothlng in MeKinley's election for a1t, Qqay, Clarkson, Manley, Fessen- 2, Payne and the other big workers. ley will take .. vacation, just as Conk- E did in 1876"
 
 sHill Whitney accept. if fnominatcd ?"
 he will gladly accept, for he will be 'sled. There is no better politician in 7 party to-day .han Whitney He iVSs that the republican leaders are ' gong to tear their hair and throw ,sle!r hats for a nan whom they have < s'gonlzed and who will feed them 'a crow when he gets into the white sN They will prefer gloating over 4' because a democratic administra- 'a would treat them no worse than z personal enemy. Those bosses are @slpally human; and they will act ,uiulng a to their enmities."
