In the different states the state can

David Bennett Hill has struggled for
his party against overwhelming odds,
the nucleus of Democratic regenera-

But from now until the night of
election day, in November, 1885, the

MLEAN DOESN'T WANT 1T.
Says that He is Not a Candidate for
Vice President

Chicago. July I-WhO will nominate

asked of John r. Mclean at $50 o'clock

reply. I never was a candidate for

a candidate for the vice presidency
When I withdrew my name yesterday
I dropped out of the field There is
one man that can withdraw J. r. Nc
Leans name, and that is Mclean him
self. Ohio stood by me for first place
until I withdrew, and last night 81 of
the delegates were ready to support me
for second place.

Bryan Refused to Say Word on the
Vice Presidency.

Chicago, July 1L-Nr. Bryan today
carefully refrained from all active par
ticipation in the choice of his associate
on the ticket. An effort was made last
night to induce him to attend the meet
ing of the leaders who sought to secure
an agreement on the nomination but he
declined to attend saying it was the
duty of the delegates to settle this
question without the advice which his
influence might bring.
His quarters at the Clifton House RI
val the convention hall as a center OF
attraction for great throngs.
They besiege the entrances and cor
ridOTs and keep up continuous dem
onstratiOn. The nominee is proving
himself truly Democratic. He shows
himself frequently, has his doors open
not only to the leaders but to the
crowd in general and talks without any
of the restraint which political cand1-
dacies usually impose.
There is the possibility that his pres
ence here may lead to immediate ac-
ton by the committee on notification
so that the formality of the proceeding
in a body to his home and there e1-
changing the notification of nomination
and the candidates acceptance may be
avoided. His speeches to the plain
people" from the balcony Of his hotel
last night, are taken to indicate the
general lines of his campaign

THE July CELEBRATION.
Eating Accommodations Secured Tor 1900
Visiting Firemen-committee Working Hard.

The various committees are hard al
work, in a quiet way, making arrange
ments for the grand July 4th celebra-
ton. One has TO once get in on the
inside, to fully realize what all this
demonstration means. The commit
tees fully realize that too soon is about
nitude, and are making their plans ac-
cordingly.
1t is anticipated that there will be at
least 1900 tiremen in Augusta, on the
Fourth, including the accompanying
bands, Mr.. Vickery says, and, to feed
this great number. has been a matter
of special concern on the part of the
committee on this feature. The genial
ALI Perkins has been the chief pusher
on this work, thus far, and has made a
visit to the churches. and estimated
that in them, together with the hall
of the Johnson house. the entire 1900
can be accommodated.
The members of the committee on
fantasies are deep up to their necks
in making plans for original features
for the parade. and a sight in this line
is promised to completely eclipse any
thing ever seen on the face of the earth,
barring China and Central Africa.
The various other committees are
hard at work. each looking after its
special features.
