p...lert cleveland has written letter
',r. friend. Don N. Dickinson. ia refer
.... fo thc third-torm, and I'm which he
..t.s va thc most positive manner that
...lr 10 circumstances Will he be a
candidate for the presidential nomlna-
.... at Chicago, nor viii nc accept it Il
r-.r 10 him. There is no sort OF
...H. about this letter IL was written
....r circumstances similar to the
,. TO- Mt. Wilson and Mr.. Catchings.
t.. like Dickinson. are channels for
....ying 3ir. Cleyeland's views to the
.... ON certain occasions. This letter
I'D. not bo made public until some State
.-.ulin mentions Clcvcland's name in
connection with the presidency, and
anon 10 VIII De flashed to an admiring
aud wondering country.
Tho hearing Of the contested-election
. of 10st against Tucker, from the
r...H Virginia District. IS set for Tuesday
...t u che House General Walker the
r...I Republican from the Ninth Dis
t... who made "a minority report in the
.... which he could get nobody ON the
committee 10 sign with him but a Nlichi-
.r doctor. IS viciOusly and persistcntly,
..I with The most intense partsanship.
.r....ctug this case against Representa-
OIL. tucker. BE Is ably assisted by Cen
oI James ID. Brady, counsel, and Mr..
E. Yost. the contestant, both Of whom
... constantly about the House en- con
fHcc with him. Mr.. Yost and General
H..s were sorcly and grievously dis
r.t0.utcd at the report OF the committee,
...h came so near being unanimously
. favor Of Representative Tucker. IL
r.. setback for Alr. Yost. who so
u.HctIy relied upon the partisan feel
H of tho committee that he felt sure
Of favorable report. Since then he has
I..u wildly flying about the corridors Of
OBJ. House on the heels of the eX-cOm-
r..nH.r Of the StoncwaI Brigade and re-
,.. Republican convert. James a. Walk
,. u vain endoaVor To- secure IN the
U.... what hc has lost I'm the COM
r.t.e. Dir. Nost, ] am told. and his at
tm,s. General Brady, are making
personal canvass Of the Republican side
0t tt. House FOO his behalf They are both
,..mrmLers of the House. which gives
fH.m the privilege Of the floor. and they
a.. using this privilege TO prejudice the
.-a ot Mr. Tucker with the Republican
members Of House before Il is heard.
Do s said they are making a tally OF
those who viii De for and against Mr..
Tucker. II viii. however. be useless
works. as Judge McCaul the chairman OF
u. committee. am able, fearless. and just
lawyer and the Republican members of
OBJ. committee. excepting Walker and the
Michigan doctor. will support the claims
o. SIR. Tucker and there is no doubt Will
l.f. d
Grand OLD Party in Virginia viii not be
much benefited by the united efforts OF
1i..-rs. Walker, NOst, and Brady.
The contested case of Cornett against
Swanson which 10 was supposed had been
finally disposed Of by an almost unani-
NOUS report in favor of the latter Will
come up again. this time I'm the House
TIe Michigan doctor who Joined General
Walker u signing the minority report in
tI- NH.t-1unker case will conduct the
D..i for Comett against Swanson on the
floor off tte House. lie is an intense and
bitter Republican partisan, and utterly
ignorant of an law governing contested
election cases, while nearly an the other
Republican members on Elections Com
mt'.. no. 8 are accomplished and Well
known lawyers.
