BRYAN'S RUNNING MATE.
Editorial Opinions Favor Hill. Hearst or Wheel
er-Dewey Not in II.

Philadelphia. June I.-The North Amer
lean will publish, tomorrow morning. the
result of a canvass of the editors of
prominent newspapers throughout the
United States as to the logical running
mate Of Bryan in view of the selection Of
Theodore Roosevelt by the Republican
national convention as the Vice Presden-
tial candidate.
There is wide divergency of opinion,
at least p Democrats of more or less
prominence being named as probabilities
as being strong running mates for Col.
Bryan. The list of favOrites includes
such Democrats as Former Senator David
b. Hill of New York, Richard Croker. Jo-
seph Pulitzer. editor and proprietor Of
the New York World; VIM. Hearst, edi-
tor and proprietor of the New York Jour
nal: Senator Tillman; Shivelry of Indi
ana; BoOkwaller Of Ohio; Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee; Robert +. Pattlson of Pennsylvania;
Admiral Dewey and Gen. Joseph
Wheeler. one California editor suggests
Emilio Aguinaldo. The tabuated vote
shows a decided preference for Hill of
New York, but no man has a clear ma
jOrity.
Another favorite is VIM. r. Hearst. ed
itor and proprietor of the New York Jour
nal He is almost as strong as Hill.
Gen. Wheeler is another whose name
the editors believe would be strong one
to conjure with.
Admiral Dewey finds little favor.
