The men who are really seeking the
nomination, and would be pleased to Sc
cure the prize, are Vice President Steven
son, Col. William R. Morrison, chairman
OF the Interstate Commerce Commission I;
Richard 0lney. secretary OF state; John
@. Carlisle. secretary of the treasury; ex-
Governor William E. Russell, of Massa-
chusetts, and last, but not least, David
Bennett Hill, the senior senator from
New York, who bias not yet given up the
idea that he will occupy the presidential
chair some time in the future. Senator
German, Of Maryland, has, without
doubt, given up all hope of figuring ex-
tensively before the Chicago convention
in July. He has not, however, given up
hope OF at some time in the future being
selected to head the democratic national
ticket. There are two other men, in fact,
who are candidates for the democratic
nomination, namely Ex-Governor Patti
son, Of Pennsylvania, and Governor Mat
'hews, of Indiana.

WHO FOR PRESIDENT /?
Democratic Prospects Growing Brighter
Every Day.
STRONG CANDIDATES ARE SUGGESTED
Cieveiand,s Mantle May Fall TO One
of HIS Cabines-Stevenson. Oiney
and Carlisle Considered the AvaiI-
able candidates.

The democratic aspirants for the Presi
dental nomination-and there are sever
al of them-are just now engaged in
maneuvering to further their own chances
at the Chicago Convention.
They seem to have arrived at the con-
clusion that there is possibility that the
wrsngles the republicans are in over the
tariff and silver issued, and because of
the great fight the many candidates for
the republican nomination are making,
that the sentiment Of the country may
change between now and next Novemb Der,
and that there is chance for the demo-
Gratis, provided good man is put up, to
win at the polls.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1896-03-12

AT any rate, win or lose, it is fact
that the democratic presidential nomina.
ton will not be secured by default by
any one man at Chicago. II Mr.. Cleve-
land could be induced to make a public
statement to the effect that he will not
seek denomination the contest for the
democratic nomination would be even
more interesting than it is at the present
time.
Mr.. Cleveland, however, steadfastly re-
fuses to state whether or not he is seek
ing the nomination, and, further, wheth-
er he would accept it ii it were unani-
mously rendered him at Chicago. 1t can
readily be seen, therefore. that Mr.. Cleve-
land is the stumbling block in the way OF
other men who would like to head the
democratic ticket in the coming cam
paign.

DROWNED IN ELIZABETH LAKE

effect that the body of Frenchman had

eighty miles from this city. Juan Du

Nothing is known Of the details of the
drowning. but it is supposed that the
Frenchman went in bathing on Satur-

with cramps and sank. The man was
missed Sunday and a search instituted
for him, but no trace was had until Mr..

cupancy, says: Il have been able to
find but one authority upon this question,
and that one is against the defendant,
and expressed as follows: The use of
the same street for both telegraph ana
electric light wires may bring up a
question of which of the two uses OF
electricity is entitled to the precedence.
The electric wires carry. as is well
known, a heavy and dangerous electric
current, which may. in case of sagging
or breaking of the electric light of tele-
graph wires, be distributed over the tele-
graph wires and burn out the instru-
ments and endanger the lives and safe
ty of the employees of the telegraph COM
pany. On the other hand. the wires may
be so adjusted that both companies can
use the same side of the street with safe
ty. The question which of the compan-
les must make this adjustment of its
wires depends uron the question of
which company was prior in its occu-
pancy of the streets with its wires Z"
The demurrer was overruled and the
defendant assigned to answer the bill
at the rule day in September.
