!. was certain that this would be the result.
Alderman Clark and Register Harmafr are the
saly Delegates about whom there Is any doubt,
but Alderman Messenger was confident that they

tine comes.
FTTcHIE BUSY ORGANIZING.
Thomas Fitchie is not troubling himself about
he delegates and their doings. He Is confident
shat Mckinley will win. and thinks that he may
n the coveted prize before New-York Is
,,ached in the rollcal 1t makes little difference
b Nm, therefore. whether the little group from
Yhu County votes for his favorite. He is busy
uuaxng the Brooklyn branches Of the Mckin-
g Lnxue and distributing Mckinley buttons.
rwr morning he goes downtown with pocket
nj d httons, and every night he goes back
kw Nth the supply exhausted. This after

WILLIS STILL WAITING,
Commissioner Willis said yesterday that he
werred not to make a statement as to his posi-
h until he could act In company with his col
axues. In view Of his strong leaning toward
president Harrison. he has been closely
atched since the Indiana convention. and 1t
~ believed that the disappearance OF the last
ope Of the Harrison men would bring him out for
fcKinley. He has not for some time been con-
idered a Morton man. Commissioner Wills
In Vreuv ~
Ieu.ral Harrison had been dropped from con-
3 altitude toward Mckinley would be changed;
M Commissioner hesItated for moment, ana
hen replied:
sYes, that is a reasonable supposition.
Alderman Clark. the running mate OF Register
aarman, was around the City Hall yesterday

ah pocket. The Alderman frankly says tha'
Reed Is his first choice, but he does not say ina,
b will vote for Reed He intimated that ne VII
cast his vote for Morton. because he thinks
mans nrst obligations are to those nearest MS
home.

b accordance with this principle that ! think
Governor Morton should have New YORK Vo'es.

uAtes we're not likely to have another conference
Tor two weeks. By that time. he says. all ar
fsnsements for the trip will have been com
pleted, and meeting will then be called, a.
