Moosehead lake. Mr.. Flynt went there
with the Abbot party from Dexter,
which has been visiting Moosehead. an
nually. for many years past. They
made their headquarters this year at
Spencer Narrows and had some good
fishing. but the sport did not compare
with that of last year when the party
had some Of the best fishing ever en-
jOyed at the lake. Mr.. Flynt says that
the trout do not seem to be taking
hold as they should and he lays it TO
the cold weather. There were IS fisher
men in the Abbot party and each man
brought out about all the trout and
toguc the law allows one man to carry
home.

SENTIMENT UNCRYsTALLIZED YET
-. 1>or,1vER AND FAIRBANKS SAID TO
BE THE LEADING POSSIBILITIES.

,,,uo5a,,bia June 15-Speculation, gossip
e,d informal conferences to-day among y
S,,ional Committeeman and other leading hePuo-
III -. ,,.bo are here has failed to indicate a
REORGANIZATION Of sentiment around any Nhu4-
,,,dual Neither Senator Hanna nor those VINO
ara close to him give any intlmatlon thaI OH-
.a,o,n,stra4fon has choice. The number or
5,ao,atee who will vote for any man that the
Administration favors seems TO accentuate the
General impression that the nominee will be the
man most satisfactory to the President
aTF Won would take US into your confidence
on +hie yfce-Presidentiari matter it would sim
plify the situation greatly and give us an oP-
nortunitv 10 do what the President would ike,
said a prominent Republican to Senator Hanna
today. and the reply he made was: You know
all / know about It.
Senator Hannas only conversation on the
situation to-day was that until the different
delegations arrived and there was an opportuni-
Nv for them to consult no conclusion could be
reached.
Senator PIatt's talk Of Odell, OF New-Yo rk'
caused little Autter here, and Dolliver stock
took an upward turn about the same time the
cause being the impression that in case ooeii
should be pressed by New-York there would be

those who do not favor the New-Yorker-
While there is still talk of Bliss, his friends
here say that he has made II per1ectIS Iiedi ~

that personal reasons prevent him from being
considered.
Joseph H. Manley, of Maine, is pressing the
claims of Secretary Long. He is the only avail
able man he SAID to-day. who comes up to
Nr. Hanna's requirements for Fice-President
who would certainly make a good President.
Mind" he added. I cast no reflections upon
Mr. Allison or Mr.. Bliss. but they are not can
didates With these out Of the way, Mr.. Long
is the only man left willing to accept who Will
fill the bill. OF course. 1 do not forget the
Sampson-Schley controversy, but that will cut
no figure"
Delegate Payne OF the Iowa contingent. ar
rived to-day having come by way OF Washing
ton He brought renewed assurances from SEN
ator Allison that he could not and would not be
a candidate for Vice President. Mr.. Payne
stated that Mr. Allison told him that he not
only, would not be candidate. but that If nom
mated he would decline.

North Platte, Neb, June 15-The California
delegation to the Republican National Conven
ton passed through here last evening. travelling
IN two special sleepers covered with appropriate
banners and inscriptions. The delegates
united in their support Of l. NJ. Scott the man
who built the Oregon" for Nice-President.
George c. Pardee one of the delegates t-large.
said:
MI Scott's greatest availability is that he Is
from California, the greatest State of the West.
The Pacific Coast should be represented on the
National ticket because Of the large rgure the
Philippine question will cut in the coming
paiGn. We are next to Hawaii and the Philip
pines and directly interested in them
than perhaps any other portion OF the country.
The Nevada delegation IS also on the train
One Of Its members stated that Nevada would
stand shoulder TO shoulde.' with California in
support of Mr.. Scott

had accepted this declinaton as final and that
he had called upon the President and told him
that he so regarded IT. He says that the Fres!.
dent also accepted this view. remarking ina II
the Senator determined in MS attitude
his friends could hardly press him furlnti. ,
George E. Roberts. Director Of the mint IS
here in charge OF the Vice-Presidential poorn or
Representative Deliver He said TO-DAY: iowa
is for Mr.. DolIiver. We have no claims as
doubtful State, but we believe he has quannca-
tons that are more valuable 10 cdIuIudIe
than any advantage that can come from mere
locality He has had successful career or
twelve years in the lower house or congress,
and his Strength among his constituents is tesu-
fed TO by six denominations by reclamation.
His strength in Congress is proved by the fact
that his fellow members IN the House are re-
sponsible for the movement to place his name
before the Convention.
His nomination would arouse great enthusi-
assn among young men They are the nshung
blood Of the party, and they are the element 10
which we look for recruits we have every rea-
to believe that the Middle West Will be
largely for him
Senator Fairbanks. of Indiana, was another
arrival to-day. and has been beseged by those
who were anxious to know If he was a candi-
date for Vice President. While he would not
be interviewed, he did deny shy aspirations for
the office. The position of Senator Fairbanks,
however, is we'll known. He does not want the
Vice Presidency. He likes n Senatorial career
and has every prospect of remaining in the SEN
ate as long as his party remains IN power IN
Indiana. His friends and the Administrator
understand the situation, and he does NOT thihh
IL necessary 20 announce a positive decIlhAIoh
OF the place. Moreover, there are q number OF
Republican leaders who think it possible that
q contingency may arise where 1T will be neces-
sary nominate Senator Fairbanks In such
event 1t is believed by those who know the
Senator's party loyalty that ne would accept.
The candidacy of Lieutenant Governor WOOD
ruff. Of New York. who arrived to-day, is stun
being kept in evidence by his friends, out ap-
parently without any backing from the Repub-
hcan managers and with the distinct disap-
prevail of Senator Hanna,
Mr.. Woodruff was asked If he would continue
a candidate in the event Of the New ork
delegation failing to support him To this he
replied There will be such event.
It is generally believed that Senator Allison
has made IT plain that he Will not be a candi-
date under any circumstances
The position of Secretary Long causes con-
siderable comment and it is being freely asked
why the Long candidacy should proceed so far
unless 1t has the tacit consent Of the President
The fact that Long is member of Mckinney
Cabinet gave rise to undeniably widespread
belief that the Secretary of the Navy Will finally
receive the support OF the Administration If
such is the case. however. IL is being carefully
kept from view. AS the matter stands tonight
It would that Long, Dolliver and Fair
banks the leading possibilities for Vice
President.
