promptly and decidedly said he had

of William Fl. White. OF Washington.
His presence in the committee may
cause trouble, for ii is believed that

said to-day that he did not care to sit

HARRISON AND ALTGELD.
The discord between the Harrison
and Altgeld factions of the local Dem
ocratic party was the salient feature
of to-day'S talk around the hotels. If
Acting Chairman Stones wishes are
carried out, and apparently most Of the
committeeman are with him, the fac

was announced in the papers that my
name and MIR. Martins would be on
the ticket. but now since I came down
and was consulting with my friends
with view Of getting things In shape
on that line. IL was decided suddenly
last night that no direct vote would be
had between MIR. Martin and myself

hardly time 10 select and bring out hve
candidates to run for ME. 1t may be
that some of the candidates are not for
Mr.. Martin. and II il was a recognized

may receive the votes of my friends.
