John r. Mclean OF Cincinnati. and Kilbourno

Mclean clearly has the politicians on his
side. 1t is the boast OF the Klbournc
element that the people are with them. but
they lament that the people are not going
to have the votes in the Convention they
should have. While everything seems to indi-
cate that Mclean will triumph. It must be
understood that he will not win in a walk
G. N. Haskell, the protege OF Brice in

for Mclean. The efforts OF the
Eilbourne managers to stir up the
the old bitterness which the friends OF Thur
man, PenGleton. Ward and other great Demo-
crafts entertained towards Mclean have
not been without success. But these
mon have long since been dead. and
the magic OF McLean's provcss have
carried with him the practical and
influential men OF tho party who attend con-
ventions and make party history. Aside from
the two leading candidates. there was only one

sideration Of that concession will throw his
thirty-six votes to Mclean. McLean's
managers tonight claim seventeen OF the
twenty districts Of the State. coneedinR only
two to Kilbourne and giving him only 1872
votes. 1t is their purpose to force a nominal

has plenty OF nerve and knows how and where
to apply the gag He is a Mclean man.
The Mclean people insist that they will have
things their own way, but the friends OF Col.
kilbourne take different view OF the situa-
tion. While not claiming enough votes to nomi-
nate their candidate. they assert that Mclean
will not have enough either. Judge Il. II.
