! Philadelphia, June 15.-Speculation,
! gossip and informal conferences today
among national committeeman and
other leading Republicans who are here
has failed to indicate a crYstaIlization
of sentiment around any individual
| Neither Senator Hanna nor those who
are close to him give any intimation
that the administration has a choice.
The number Of delegates who will vote
for any man that the administration ia
voTs seems to accentuate the general
impression that the nominee viii be the
man most satisfactory to the presi-
dent
If you would take US into your con-
ndence on this matter it would simplify
the matter greatly and give US an op-
pOrtunity to do what the president
would like" said a prominent Republi-
can to Senator Hanna today, and the
reply he made was: You know all
that I know about it"
Senator Hanna's only observation on
the situation today was that until the
different delegations arrived and there
was an opportunity for them to con-
suit no conclusion could be reached.

DOlliver stock took an upward turn
about the same time, the cause being
the impression that in case Odell should
be pressed by New York there would
be a concentration on the Iowa con-
gresham by those who do not favor
the New Yorker.
The candidacy Of Lieutenant Gov

without any backing from the Republi- |
can managers and with the distinct |
disapproval of Senator Hanna.
Long May Be the Man.
The position Of Secretary Long causes /
considerable comment and it is beino 4
freely asked why the Long candidacy
should proceed so far until it has the /
tacit consent of the president The fact /
that Long is a member of McKinley's /
cabinet gives rise to an undenia BIZ
widespread belief that the secretary of
the navy viii finally receive the sup
port of the administration. If such is
the case, however, it is berg carefully
kept from everybody.
AS matters stand tonight il would
seem that Long, Dolliver and Fair
banks are the leading possibilities for
president.

He brought renewed as
from Senator 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 a candidate, but
that if nominated he would decline.
Fairbanks is Unwilling.
Senator Fairbanks of Indiana was an
)ther arrival today and has been be-
;ieged by those who were anxious to
know if he was a candidate for vice
president. While he would not be in
reviewed he did deny any aspirations | !
or the Office. The position of Senator
Fairbanks, however, is well known. He
iOeS not want the ce-presidency. He !
ikes a senatorial career and has every / I
prospect of remaining in the senate as {
ong as his party remains in power in {
indiana. {
However, there are a number of Re
publican leaders who think it possible
hat contingency may arise where it
viii be necessary to nominate Senator
Fairbanks. In such an event it is be
ieved by those who know the senator's
iarty loyalty that he would accept.
Bartlett Trip in the Race
It has been suggested that he viii 7
make the speech placing Mckinley in 4,
Omination, but so far no such ar
angement has been made. The fact Q
hat the name of Bartlett Trip will 4
e presented to the convention for r
ice-president is not allowed to be hid [
en- by the energetic men of the Pa [
ific coast who are in charge of his
interests. Just now they consist of q
rational Committeeman Ashton Of a
Washington and Steele of Oregon. They t
ill be reinforced tomorrow when the q
from Oregon and Washing I:

Mr.. Ashton had an interview with r
enatOr Hanna today and told him that q
be nomination Of Trip would mean J
he retention of a million and a half p
voters known as gold standard Dem o
Gratis, who would appreciate the COM 1
llment paid to them by nominating a a
primer staunch Cleveland Democrat, s
Though he has left the party and t
)ined the Republicans in the money 2

Mr.. Ashton says that Judge Trip will Z
