sion Of the convention last night and
was discussed BY quite q number Of
the leading men in different delega-
tons Another development was the
unduestioned popularity of David, b.
Hill for the place, as manifested in the
convention and the. desire expressed
in many quarters for, his, selection.
The selection. however, is complicated
by the fact that New York stands in
the way of the selection of either Hill.
or DaLforth. Hill does not want, the
nomination and will take measures to
prevent his selection. Danforth does
want it and would be. Nominated if
New York would present him. But
the convention will not force a canili-
date alpon New York against the will
of the delegation from that state. :
:. Meanwhile there has been a develop.
ment Of the Stevenson boom. lit ia,
however. of a passive character, the
belief being general that he is the only
man who can beat Towne. The de.
mand for a Democrat upon the ticket
is still, strong. and Towne's candidacy
is hampered by reason Of his protested
politics! Still the friends of Towne
are working very hard and hope that
the peculiar situation regarding the
other candidates may vet give him the
nomination. That the Democratic con-
vention is taking the matter into con-
sideration is shown by the adoption
yesterday of a resolution for a conf
mittee of conference. 1t was we'll un-
derstGod that the conference with the
populsts meant but one thing, that
they would insist upon Townte and
would agree to no other candidate.
Men like George Fred Williams and
Senator Tillna', who were among the
victors in securing the 16 to platform
are doing all they can to bring about
the Nomination Of Towne by the con-

lay in the attitude of the party ,op ex-,

subcommittee and the full committee
were divided practically on geographic
cal lines; the Eastern members favor

while most of the members from the
Western States opposed this course. A
plank denouncing Imperialism was
finally adopted, and in this shape the
platform will be presented to the con-
vention to-day. Nearly the entire time
of the morning and afternoon sessions
was spent in listening to speeches. On
