further the interests of the Platt-Quay COM
bination.
81 don't know whom ! shall support for Vice
President" he said to-day Allison or Bliss
would make a good candidate, and 1 particularly
like wolcott 1 know him very well, having
met him several times in Washington, and II
he were nominated I certainly would not be
very sorry. I cannot say just now whether l

VIEWS OF A. BLISS SUPPORTER.
Senator John NJ Thurston. of Nebraska, is
one of those who refuse TO believe that Senator
Platt's declarations have forced Mr.. Bliss com
pletelv ont Of the Presidential race. He
said this afternoon:
There is no question whatever but that the
Administrators candidate for Vice President
is Bliss Of New-York Bliss says he is not
candidate, but we know that he is. and only
hesitates TO make public announcement OF MS
candidacy because Of his fear that majority
of the New-York delegation cannot be secured
for him
The injection Of OdeN into the fight
candidate for the Vice Presidency, together
with the candidacy OF Woodruff, makes MT
Bliss's nomination, under the circumstances
difficult But If arrangements could be made
or can be made with Plat by which Bliss could
be named without having sore spots in New
York. Bliss would be nominated and the Admin
istration satisfied"
Little has been heard to-day Of the Dollver
boom" General Grosvenor of Ohio, and Direc-
tor OF the Mint Roberts, of Iowa, are looked
on as its special custodians. Speaking to-day
of Mr.. Delivers availability a Vice-Presi-
Dental candidate. Mr.. Roberts said:
''Doll!ver has had many a tilt with Bryan
W
he used TO beat him in ell debates. On the
stump in the wake of Bryan he has swept
aside the cobwebs of sophistry thrown out by
the verbose Nebraskan and destroyed the effect
OF his pretty periods. AS the candidate for
ice-President. his campaign speeches would
have additional weight. He would have an i'm
measurable influence throughout the entire
West. AS Bryan will again take the stump,
and as the President Will not personally make
more than a front porch campaign, the pres
ence OF such a man as Doliver on the stump.
speaking with the eclat not only of the honors
he has already won in the House, but with the
additional prestige Of the second candidate on
the party ticket, would be Of untold value"
DOLLIVER A BRILLIANT ORATOR.
Representative Marriott Brosius of Pennsyl-
vania, is also a pronounced Dover supporter
''Dolliver is one Of the most brilliant orators
In the country" said Brosius, land would
than counteract the most fervid oratory Of
Bryan. He is beloved by all who know him,
and II is believed he would be entirely accept
able TO the Administration and Senate as pre-
siding officer. He is one of the finest figures in
the great West, and I have reason TO know
that Senator Allison would like TO have him
nominated"
When asked what Vice Presidential candi-
date the Kentucky delegation would support,
o.,
mitteeman from that State. replied this morn
ing:
Kentucky. aside from the fact that we lean.
OF course, TO Ex-Governor Bradley has no choice
The delegates will enter the Convention I'M
instructed. I do not believe that the nomina-
ton will go to a man south Of the Mason and
Dixon Line and the present indications are that
q New-York man will secure the nomination"
