The Rliss RumOr.-No credepce is
given in weIl-informed circles in this city
TO the story sent out from New York that
Senator Hanna has induced the Hon. Cor
uelius y Bliss to reconsider his declina-
ton TO stand for the Vice Presidential
nomination 1t is known that about three
months ago Mr.. Bliss promised both Mi
Hanna and Mr.. Mckinley that he w0ulI
permit the use of his name for second place
on the ticket, but since then Senator Plat
has 30 fastened his hold upon the party
machine in New York as to be the absolute
master of the situation there The willy
Platt accepted the Bliss candidacy a first
as the easiest way to escape serious trouble
over the scheme Of the Administration to
force the nomination of Secretary Root In
the preliminary stages OF the game Mr.
Plat,'s great desire was to completely head
off the Root business. Having done this by
accepting Bliss as compromise. his next
task was 10 so confuse the issue as to make
Bliss an impossibility. From the inception
of the game Platt's sole purpose has been
to get rid of Roosevelt by forcing him into
the Vice Presidency. and thus leaving the
field clear for the nomination of a gubeTna-
tOrial candidate who can be relied upon TO
carry out the behests of the State machine
The Senator is being given credit for work
ing out his scheme with consummate skill
tor now It is growing evident that unless
Roosevelt consents TO accept the Vice Pres
idential nomination he will be completely
shelved this year 1t is regarded as proba-
ble that Roosevelt can secure re-nomina-
tion by the proper use of the new patron
age placed at his disposal by the Legislat-
ure which has just adjourned. but a re-
nomination over Platt's protest would quite
probably mean humiliating and ruinous
de feat at the polls in November. Defeat
for reelection would completely destroy
the Rough Rider. ard all of his dreams of
future greatness would go glimmering The
probabilities are that MIR Hanna went TO
New York for the sole purpose of studying
at close range the conditions there as to
Roosevelt. and to help along the Plat game
rather than TO confuse things by dragoon-
ing Mr.. Bliss into the race for Vice Presi-
dent against the earnest wishes of Mr.
Bliss family as well as himself.
