lcal Talk.
Washington, June Gin the opinion
of the best political prophets at the
capitol Dolliyer, of Iowa, will be the
choice OF the convention at Phi.adel-
phia. unless in the meanwhile there
should be an unexpected agreement
of all factions upon some New York
man. On the surface the fight at pres
ent undoubtedly has been narrowed
down to one between Secretary Long
and Representative Deliver With the
latter so far in advance as To leave lit
tie doubt8of the result, unless the stu
alton is changed.
Secretary Longs wsrmest friends adj
nit frankly that from present prospects
.Dolliver is likely 10 reach Philadelphia
with an Overwhelming lead They also
freely admit that on their merits, and
without any assistance Whatsoever
from the administration. Long could
noe Win. While DolliNer certainly would
do so. The champions of the secretary
of the navy seem TO think that al the
last moment the president Will feel
obliged to throw his influence TO Long
ON account Of their intimate associa-
tons during the last four years.
1t is admitted that if such a siase of
affairs comes about the nomination viii
be as good Is made, for the convention
Will be thoroughly loyal Ia the presi-
dent and the slightest expression ef
preference on his part Would be imme-
diately followed.
ON the other hand, the leaders of the
Deliver supporters have gone into III
With personal and positive assurances
that by so doing they did not in any
way Interfere with the plans of the
administration and this understanding
has been as complete as anything can
be which is not reduced to writing
according to the ideas expressed by
his recognized friends, the presidents
attitude8is rather a desire 10 nave the
veto power than TO dictate the nominal
ton Itis quite certain that neither.
Long, Dolliver Fairbanks, Cullom, 4Alli-5
son, Charles Emory Smith nor any of
the others mentioned except Roosevelt
ard Woodruff would be objectionable
to tbs. president Lieutenant Governor
woodruff is not considered a person Of
ssnfticient dignity of character or APP
sTearalce to- go on the ticket. The leaa-
5ers of this. party dos not entirely lose
sight OF tlle5fact that William A1clSin-
ley * mortal ard The vice president
may become me chief executive. They
fear that Woodruff WOULD be rid:cuied
from one end of the country to the otis
