Gen. Grosvenor, McKinley's chief lieu
tenant, gave statement last Saturday Of
just how the matter stands from his point
of view. He claims that 800 Mckinley
delegates have thus far been elected out
side of Ohio and Indiana and counts 76
votes of those two states as sure for the
Ohio candidate. He also says that there
are 125 delegates elected who are not
counted for Mckinley, but who will vote
for him as second choice.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
LA PLATA, Nd, August 1S.-The fifth

ton here today attracted a large number
of persons from every county in the dis
trict. The 10 o'clock train that came
down from Baltimore had two extra coach
es attached for delegates from The upper
counties The seventeenth ward delega-
tion, consisting of thirty-two delegates, and
headed by Benjamin F.. Hiss, was also on
the train, and when they arrived they
marched around the town. The Veteran
Corps Band of Baltimore furnished the
music. 1t soon became apparent after the
arrival of the delegates from all The coun-
ties of the district that the sentiment was
Overwhelmingly in favor of the ncmina-
tion of eX-Kepresentati"e S. E. Mudd as
candidate for Congress.
There was an apparent difference be-
tween the two factions fr1 Howard coun-
ty, LED by Senator George ID. Day and

THE NrEST CUT TO SILVER
Characteristic Description of the North Caro-
lima Situation.
National Ommitteeman Daniels De-
clares the People Are Running
the Campaign.

Mr.. Josephus Daniels, the democratic
committeeman from North Carolina, said
today that the situation in his state was
still hazy. There might be a three-cornered
tight or there might not; it was not pos
sible yet to tell, bur he believed that silver
would carry the state.
'N.nety-five per cent of the people of
North Carolina are for silver and it will be
very strange If they cannot get together
some way to make their votes effective
said Mr.. Daniels. Il met democrat and
populist the other day who were discuss
ing the situation. asked the populst wha |
he was going to do. I don't KNOW he
said, but I'll take whatever seems the
niest cut to silver The democrat said
that was exactly where he stood My own
opinion Is that the sentiment OF North Car
DINA was well represented in that decara-
ten. The people want to take the 'ni'est
cut to silver and they will get there some
way, no matter what the leaders do.
No Need of Making Converts.
L have heard great many people talk
about the delay of the democrats in get
ting to work In the campaign" he con-
tnued. People who talk so do not under
stand the situation. They do not know
what has already been done and who is do
Ing it, The democratic campaign commit
as 4 general thing. The people have gener-
ally made up their minds on the subject
except in sections where there has been but
little d.scussion-and all the committee has
to do is to give direction to the efforts Of
the people. who are, in fact, the ones who
are running this campaign. The campaign
or education has been going on for long
while.
People Not Depending on Leaders.
''The organization did not start from The
top and run down, as is usual 1t started
from the bottom and is running up. The
seeding has been done and the committee
mas but to care for the crop. The people,
feeling that this is their own fight, are not
depending so much on political leaders
They are not looking to the comm .ttce eo..
everything, but are doing what they can
tor themselves. Go anywhere among tne
farmers and ether producers and you will
find their heads as full OF facts and figures

TILLMAN AND WATSON
The South CaroGnian's Visit to the
Georgian.
Politician Are Now Specializing ON
Its Meaning and It's Con-
sequences.

The conference held yesterday at Thorn
asville. Ga, between Tom Watson and SEN
ator Ben Tillman of South Carolina has
caused considerable speculation among pol
iticians Of prominence here. 1t is felt that
the conference was of import, and that it
was not friendly visit which the South
Carolina reformer paid to the talkative
Georgian. Tillman has nothing social in
his nature, and is not in the habit of going
far away from home to make visits. He
always insists on the visits being made to
him.
The conference was unquestionably polt-
ical. Tillman is a member of the demo-
cratic national committee. but may not be
ON good terms with the ruling spirits. He
was at the notification meeting in New
York. and was loudly called for after
Bryan had finished his speech. He met
Sewan there, but whether they had con-
ference Is not known.
Did He Take a Message:
In some quarters the question is asked
Did Tillman take a message TO Watson
from anybody in New York? lit is very
unlikely. Tillman would hardly be made
the medium of a message from anybody al
this time. 1t is at least certain, il is
thought. that he did not take any message
from the democratic national commit tee.
The policy of that committee seems to be
10 nave nothing to do with Watson ana
nothing to say to him. Sewall could hardly
nave asked Tillnian 10 carry his greetings
10 the Georgian. Bryan, IL is thought
would not have sent a greeting, although
he could have conveyed some p!easan;
word to the Georgian. The real meanin,:
or the conference may come out in The fu-
ture conduct of Watson.
What Ii May Mean.
Among politicians well versed in the con-
dition of affairs in South Carolina and
Georgia II is said that the conference may
have had something to do with the way the
South Carolina electors will vote for Vice
President. AS between Sewall and Watson
II is believed that Tillman would side with

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
DOVER, Del. August 1s.-This little
town is in fervcr of excitement today.
The democratic state convention is being

lutte control. The convention was called to
order at 12:45 by eX-Gov. Robert ]. Rey-

1t seems certain that the silver men of the
lower counties will defeat Ford in his fight
for The gubernatorial nomination. The
Sussex county democrats In caucus in
dorsed Ebe w. Tunnel. who was defeated
for governor in 1894. The Kent caucus was
silent on the question, but it is believed
,hat the Kent democrats Will vote with
their Sussex brethren for Tunnel.
After the appointment of the various COM
mlttees the convention adjourned unit. =

The New Castle delegate supporters Of
Ford for governor jumped upon the
benches and shouted for the Wilmington
manufacturer. The Sussex men raised a
cheer for Tunnel. but 1t was lost in the
avalanche of Kisses and boots by the New
Castle men.
New Castle is entitled to the governor
this time and she threatens to ieyeioD a
sensation in the convention If Ford is not
nominated. There are indica lions that
Tunnel Will be named on the first ballot
and the congressional nomination will he
