70 me th1t the Ieiltf l-' iH t""i''' 80
the virginia and North Carolina delega-
fioas there are few who encourage his
candidacy. Personally. Teller IS well
spoken Of. but politically the movement
ip his favor IS comparel with that which
was headed by Horace Greeley. Appa-
renuy .he contest is between Bland ana
Boies. The latter. however is confronted
with the opposition Of Altgeld. whom he
denounced In connection with the labor
riots and who IS consequently his bitter
enemy.
AlteeN rs an active. masterful Mahone-
like man. who is iiolizcd by the Illinois
labor element. and who would, II is be
lcyed lose the State TO Boies should
I0ics be nominated.
Per contra. it is conceded that Boies
can carry Iowa. and il is argued that
without Iowa IL is next TO impossible for
the Democrats 20 win.
The fact that Bland is a Presbyterian,
while his wife is Catholic. is suggested
as reason why two large bodies of
Christians might bee favorably inclined to-

arouse the Grand Army OF the Republic
10 supreme efforts 10 beat him. How
ever. 10 IS conceded that few pensioners
viii vote the Democratic ticket, anyhow.
Bland was in California during the war.
out there he served twelve months fight
mg the Indians.
THE VICE-PRESIDENCY
Teller. Bland. and Boies are all men
bordering on 10 years of age, which fact
Will have It's bearing upon the selection Of
& Vice President.
Neither Crisp nor Daniel wishes to be
the vice-presilential nominee. Each pre-
fers TO continue uninterruptcdy in the
prosecution OF his senatorial candidacy.
North Carolina. however, has candidate
in Judge Walter Clark. ana committee
from that States delegation has been
appointed TO ask the cooperation Of the
Nirginians. In case Daniel is not put up
for the nrst place. the North Caroiinians
are divided between Bland Boies. and
Bryan Most Of the Virginians' ! think,
are for Bland.
a DANGER POINT.
Look out for trouble when the conven-
tion comes 10 dispose Of the Michigan
contested election cases. Probably some
of Don Dickinson's golditcs Will be un-
seated.
The free-sllyerites want everything in
sight. also, two-thirds majority. The
signs are that they Will rule with a firm
and unyicldlng hand. and rush business
through at race-hOrse speed. Whether
the e0ldltes will bolt or not Is prOblemau-
cal gt this hour but in any event there Is
likely 10 be a second Democratic national
ucket put in the field.
The Virginia delegation was slow to
open headquarters but at last rented the
eentlemens parlor in the sherman House
Bt S-5 per day IL IS a good room.
Right opposite it are the Illinois head
quarters and the North CarOIlnians are
near by.

ti0n. As Senator Daniel will be made

Tor which he had been slated. The dele

positions anyhow. bot he assured his

sTAUNTON INSTRUCTIONS.
Editor NJ. Glennan. Of the Norfolk Vir-
yinian. in his blandest and most placid
way, provoked a lively discussion before
the delegation by proposing to abrogate
the instructions of the Staunton cOnvCu-
ton So far as they applied TO the two
delegates from the Second District, who
are himself and Mr.. West of Suffolk
MI Glennan made "a rattling good speech
in advocacy of this proposition lie IN
sisted that the delegation had the right
20 adopt his suggestion He pointed out
20 his colleagues on the delegation the
Importance of maintaining harmony I'm

vas Of more interest 10 the State than
Supremacy in national affairs.
hr Swanson replied TO Editor Glennan
n speech. bon which he attempted 10
show that the delegation had no choice IN
the matter. The State convention had
given them emphatic Instructions. which
they could not as honest men avoid car
lying out TO the letter. Mr. Swanson said:
'"The staunton convention turned these
two recalcitrant delegates over 10 us TO
attend TO, and l think we will" CAP

GLENNANs APPEAL DENIED.
Mr.. Glennan made another unsuccessful
appeal 10 the delegates to permit himself
bni his colleague 10 vote as they saw nt
and to have their votes recorded by the
convention.
Al the suggestion OF Chairman Jones.
hr. Glennan then submitted a formal
resolution. embodying his appeal In this
he asked that the two delegates from
the Second District Of Virginia be per-
mitted 10 vote IN the national convention
IN all questions. regardless OF the wishes
lr views OF the majority OF the delega-
lion from that state
Mr Swanson offered as a substitute
that the delegation should adhere strictly

VentiOn
Mr. Glennan's motion was rejected.
The only persons who voted for Il were
the two god delegates from the Second
District themselves Mr. Swansons sub
sutute was accepted.
This contest disp0scs OF all further

Rinla delegation. Mr.. Glennan no doubt,
made the fght simply for the purpose
OF emphasizing his opposition to the
course taken by the Staunton convention
on this matter.
