1t Is still mckinley against the Field.
WASHINGTON, D. Co. April 24.-
Especial Correspondence. Ut is still
Mckinley against the field. There
seems to have been slight cessation
of the Mckinley boom which lately
promised to stampede the country.
But he is still far ahead of any other
single candidate, and his campaign
manager, Gen. Grosvenor, claims his
nomination on the first ballot. On
the contrary ex-senator Platt in re-
cent interview, declares that McKln-
ley will never be nominated. 70 the
unprejudiced observer. it looks like a
very even thing whether Mckinley or
some one OF the field will be named.
If the field WINS, however, indications
are that it will not be in the person OF
Reed, Allison, or any other of the
leading antagonists ofthe Ohio candi-
date, but some dark horse.
Senator Brown, of Utah, who is a
delegate to st. .Louis,is my authority
for the statement that the silver Re-
publicans will all votein thntconven
tion, for Senator Cameron, of Pennsyl-
vania, for President. He admits that
he will SO vote. 1t grows more and
more apparent thatSenator Cameron
will be nominated for the Presidency
by the Republicans from the silver
States in that convention. Ifhe is not
nominated then Senator Mantle, Sem
ator Teller, Senator dubois. and 9TH
ers who have long been prominent in
the Republican party, favornominat-
ing HIM as a Silver Republican Inde-
pendent candidate. They will attend
the St.Louis convention, and some OF
them will participate in it's deibera-
tions. But as soon as it shall be dem
onstrated that the Republicans will
norcommit themselves to free coinage
5ofsilver the delegations from Mon
tana, Idaho, Colorado Utah, Nevada,
Wyoming, and some of the Southern
States will leave the convention and
hold a convention of their own. Their
platform will be protection and silver.
It will be remembered that Don Cam
eron gave the silver league at Denver
that platform two years ago. He was
then Presidential candidate, and he
has been carefully attending to his
candidacy ever since.
Cameron is in earnest, ''says one of
his Senatorial colleagues. "Iwas din
ing with Cameron one evening two
years ago, when he said: "lam going
to be the next President of the United
States. I will not be elected as a Re-
publican, nor as a Democrat; Twill he
nominated and elected as a silver adj
vocate, ,and a protectionist ofmodera-
tion. My administration will not be
partisan, but will be one of individu-
ality. My cabinet will not be geo.
graphical, but national. 1t will not
be selected because offormer political
affiliations, but because ofthe charac-
ter and individuality of the men to be
chosen. 1t will be the administration
which will mark the beginning of a
new political era in this country"
"My memory is clear as to the SUBJ
stance OF Cameron's remarks" said
the Senator, "and / think that 1 re-
peat almost hisexact language. Inas-
much as ! am fully in harmony with
him on the silver question, depressed
gratifcationat hisdetermination, and
have had the pleasure ofhelping along
his candidacy. Therefore know that
it is genuine y
81 am not surprised at the talk OF
Cameron's candidacy. says Senator
Davis Of Minnesota. Senator Cam
eron informed me in 1892, before the
Minneapolis convention. that he in
tended to be candidate for the Pres
idency in 1885,
It is known that Senator Cameron
