hands of Colonel Hoyt, or Mr.. McCui'
Tough, or Mr.. Brunson, either of whom
would make capital governor.
Tillman and Morgan.
Washington correspondence of The
News and Courier Senator Tillman,
of South Carolina, loses no opportunity
to sneer at Senator Morgan, of Ala
bama. The love that exists between
these southern leaders is of kind cal
culated to carry joy to the Republican
heart. Tillman declares that Morgan
is as good Republican as any of those
who have seats on the Republican side
of the chamber, while Morgan-well,
Morgan doesn't say much. He takes
it out largely in thinking redhot
thoughts of the South Carolinian and
of ignoring him in public. There has
been lot of speculation as to the rea.
son for Tillman's last savage attack
upon Morgan, brought on ostensibly
by Morgan's declination to let Tillman
interrupt him in the course of an argu-
ment. That attack was made largely
for Alabama consumption. Tillman
wants to see Morgan beaten, and to
that end will do anything he can to
help Governor Johnston along. john
ston's play is chiefly to the Populists of
the state, whom he is trying to get back
in the Democratic ranks, for the pur.
pose of voting iu the primaries, and
his adherents believe that the support
of Tillman will tend toward putting
Johnston in the attitude of being the
Great Commoner of Alabama-the Ben
fillman of the state. How far john
ston himself may be responsible for the
Tillman attack is not clear; but 1t is
certain that Tillman has made them in
the hope of helping Johnston.
Delegates to National Convention.
Washington correspondence of The
News and Courier: During Senator
Tillman's absence from Washington it
is probable that be will take advantage
of the opportunity to confer with the
Democratic leaders in South Carolina
as to the selection of delegates to the
Democratic national convention to be
held at Kansas City. Those who are
in the confidence of Senator Tillman
believe that the delegates at large from
the Palmetto state will be Senator Till
man, Governor McSweeney, Represen-
tative Latimer and Ex, Governor Shep-
pard. "The big four" delegates are
conceded to be in accord with Mr..
Bryan and all that he represents, and
there does not appear to be any serious
opposition to their selection. In the
selection of delegates from the various
districts there will be a lively compe-
tition for the honor, and already a
number of gentlemen in each district
are surveying the political field with a
view to representing their party at
the Kansas City assembly. A promi'
nent representative of the Tillman
wing of the Democratic party, while
in the city few days ago, discussed
the convention possibilities at consid-
cradle length. He named "the big
four" as already given. in the 1st dis
trict it is understood that Senator Jo-
seph Banrwell will represent the Char
lesion district. In the I'd district State
Senator Aldrich and Attorney General
Bellinger are aspirants for Kansas City
honors. In the other districts through
out the state there are the following
names suggested: In the Sd district,
Speaker Gary and VIM. ]. Stribling;
4th district, Representative Stanyarne
Wilson and Allan Doar in the 9th dis
trict, Representative Finley, former
Representative Strait and 1. B. Jones;
in the 9Th, Representative Norton and
w. Dewitt Evans; in the 9TH, Repre-
Stokes and J. E. Tindall.
