impression that the nominee will be
the man most acceptable to the presi-

Senator Platt's talk Of Odell Of

and Dolliver stock took an upward
turn about the same time. the cause

New York man. The candidacy of
Lieut.. Gov. Woodruff of New York.
who arrived yesterday. is still being
kept in evidence by his friends. but
without apparently any backing from
the Republican managers and with
the distinct disapproval of Senator
Hanna. 1t is generally believed that
Senator Allison has made it plain that
he will not be candidate under any
circumstances.
The position Of Secretary Long
causes considerable comment and it is
being freely asked why the Long can
didacy should have proceeded so far
unless it has the tacit consent Of the
president. The fact that Long is
member of McKinley's cabinet gives
rise to an undcniable widespread be-
lief that the secretary of the navy
would finally receive the support of
the administration. If such. is the
case, however, it is being carefully
kept from view. AS the matter
stands it would seem that Long. Dol
liver and Fairbanks are the leading
possibilities for the vice presidency.
