The movement to make TSenator Hill
temporary chairman has received "a decided
impetus today, and there is good reason
for believing that the executive committee
would be pleased to suggest his name if
they felt that it would be accepted by the
silver men. Members of the committee
profess to believe that Hill will be accent
able to the silver people, because he is not
regarded as an administration man,
though ranked with the gold forces. The
silver leaders hold out stifily, however, for
man of pronounced silver proclivities
for presiding officer.
l.. p. Mullin and John Welch. delegates
from Oregon have opened headquarters
at the Palmer House, and are booming
Hon. sylvester Pennoyer as a compromise
candidate. They are handing out cards
with picture of Pennoyer on one side
and his record on the other. The record
shows that he has always been successful
before the people of Oregon, and while the
stat" has always gone Republican, Penn
oyer as Democratic candidate for COVER
nor has always carried it. His latest sue
cess was in being elected mayor of Port
land in very hotly contested race.
Friends of Hon. John r. Mclean, of
Ohio, are talking very confidently today
of the showing they will make for him as
n presidential candidate in the convention
He will, they say, have from the beginning
not only the support of his own entire
delegation, but also the assistance of many
delegates from other quarters They think
that his availability will cause him to grow
h,
and claim for him that his selection would
make Ohio, Indiana and Illinois surely
Democratic at the polls
There is great deal of quiet talk for
Governor Stone, of Missouri, as the presi-
Dental nominee. Members of the Mis-
souri, delegation declare that there is moth
ing in the talk, but acknowledge that
Stone can do very much as he pleases as
the delegation is very friendly to him. The
talk for Stone comes from outside states,
where there is much opposition to Bland.
Missourians have been informed that they
would secure more votes with Stone than
with Bland and this sort of talk is having
Its effect but apparently does not in the
least cripple the Bland boom, and his in
terests are being pushed with as much
vigOr as ever.
Charles ID. Gibson, of St Louis, who ar
rived yesterday, sprunga new presidential
boom on the crowds by announcing him
self enthusiastically for General John NJ.
Schofield, retired commander of the army.
Mr. Gibson stated that the general boom
would not have any brass band or strong
lunged attachments, but that he believed
that the record of the officer would give
strength as well us dignity to the ticket
Representative Jones' of Virginia, one
OF the MISUNDERSTANDING to the convention,
arrived today In an interview he said:
II had hoped to present the name of SEN
ator Daniel TO the convention as II candi-
date for vice president but have received
letter from him saying that he does not
want his name presented, and that he will
not be "A candidate"
Governor Matthews, of Indiana, is not
candidate for the presidency, and will
not allow his name to be considered foI
the second place on the ticket An author
itative statement to this effect was made
last night by Senator Turpie, the senior
delegate-at-large of the Indiana delega-
ton, in order to put at rest reports of
combination by which Governor Matthews
would secure the vice presidency.
