of Nebraska, said that the Demo
cratic party and President Cleve-
land were having a monkey~and-
parrot time. Let Mr.. Allen
await awhile with patience the
action of the President and his
millions of supporters, and the
Nebraska Senator will learn that
he and they are fully bent on
securing the next presidency to
the Democratic party. The Re
publicans, the Populists, and
other malcontents are reckoning
without their host when they
fiatter themselves that they have
already as good as secured the
next presidency. Tom Reed will
tell them in due time what he
expects, and when his expecta-
tions are realized the Democratic
party will cover as with a pail
all his fine schemes,

INDIANAPOLIS, May 4-"General Har-
rison is not now a candidate, and has not
been since he wrote his letter, said Gen
eral John c. New Friday evening. "ln
view of the action of the Republicans of
Vermont and Illinois," continued Gen
eral New, lit looks as il William McKin-
ley would be nominated on the first bal
lot, if not by acclamation. II this is
what the Republicans of the nation want,
it is agreeable to the friends Of General
Harrison"
IL seems probable that the anti-Mckin-
ley people will abandon the fight against
instructions in this state. They will hold
a conference Monday, and until after that
meeting il will not be definitely known
what course they will pursue. While
General Harrison has indicated that he
does not want the nomination, he does
not want to see IL go To Mckinley, and Ii
has been his wish that his own state
might support Senator Allison, or any
one but Mckinley. He declined to dis
cuss the situation Friday. but his person
al friends say he feels that il will not be
worth while TO carry the fight further.
