PHILADELPHIA June Ex-senator Thomas @.
PIatt's curt avowaI last night that candi-
date for the Vice-Presidential nomination Cor
nelius n. Bliss could scarcely expect TO COM
mand the support of majority of New-York's
| seventy-twO delegates has raised the question
whether New-York. backed presumably ny
Pennsylvania is to play the same futile and in
effective role in next weeks convention that 1t
played under Mr.. Platt's leadership in the Re
publican National conventions of 1892 and 1898
There IS among the delegates from each and
every part of the Union decid Il inclination 10
GO to New-York for the Vice-PTesidential norni-
nee. if New-York will present in good faith
candidate whose record and qualities commend
him to general acceptance.
There can be no doubt, moreover. that in the
last few days the conviction has rapidly gained
ground among the Western and Southern dele
cations committed to no local aspirant's in
terests that in Mr.. Bliss New-York possesses
a candidate certain TO attract the cordial sup
port of all sections Mr.. PIa-t's intimation that
on a trial Of strength in New-Yorks caucus
next Monday evening Mr. Bliss would probably
be beaten by either Mr. OdeI Mr.. WoodruR
has therefore started Western and other lead
ers thinking that the veteran New-York
manager does not care to participate in any
serious movement TO name a Vice-Presidential
candidate from the Empire State
PLATTS ABSENCE SIGNIFICANT.
Mr. PIatt's delay in coming to Philadelphia to
consult with the leaders OF other delegations
seems also u confirm this view. In the opinion
of the most experienced politicians here neither
Mr.. Woodruff nor Mr.. OdelI. = pushed forward
with Mr.. PIatt's Endorsement as NETWORKS dis
tinctive candidate. could attract strength
enough TO make a respectable showing for more
centration of votes on some available rival from
the Middle West. Mr.. Platt has therefore 10
decide between now and Tuesdly whether New
York is is not to carry OF the second hOnors
in the convention OF 1900.
As Senator Hanna put the situation in an
interview this afternoon: 1T seems to be up to
New-York 10 agree upon a man. but if the
New-Yorkers are going 10 quarrel the prize
may go to the West" Mr.. Hanna declared that
he knew nothing that would throw a further
light on the conventions probable choice OF
Vice Presidential nominee.
You were 10 hear from Senator Allison to-
day; have YOU received any MESSAGE
Nothing as yet"
do you know when Senator Platt Will ar
rive?'
NO. and I don't expect any word
How long, Senator, do You think the conven-
ton Will last?''
Probably three days. though it may be over
in two"
Then the vice-Presidential fight viii not be
very prolonged?'
But 10 this query the chairman OF the National
Committee gave no answer
QUAY NON-COMMITTAL
Ex-senator Matthew 5 Quay who reached
town this afternoon. declined for the present to
make any predictions about the Vice-Presi-
dency- I without opinion 20 the prob
able nominee for Vice President. said 1Ir Quay.
Il have been rusticating out al the Mountville
farm. and have not been on the ground a suffi-
cient time to get in touch with the situation I
suppose. however. The convention Will name a
man who Will be entirely acceptable TO President
Mckinley, and who VIII give strength 70 the
ticket before the Republicans Of the country.
What Will be the policy Of the Pennsylvania
delegation in making choice among the large
field OF Vice Presidential candidates.
The Pennsylvania delegates VIII caucus on
Monday afternoon. and until that time it would
hardly be hitting that 1 should say what they
may decide 10 DO"
There are those who believe that Mr. Quay
viii carry to Mr. PIatJ's aid N any demonstra-
tion he may make with a candidate like Mr.
Woodruff probably four-ffths of the PennsyI-
yania delegation. But Pennsylvania politicians
have taken only a faint interest so far in the
choice of running mate for President Nc
KinIey
Senator Penrose. who is still acting as Mr..
Quay's proxy on the National Committee, to-day
had this TO say about the contest for the Vice
Presidency:
CONTEST AN ANIICABLE ONE
The contest over the Vice-Presidency is en-
tirely amicable All OF the men who have been
mentioned in connection with the office are we'll
qualified and would be acceptable. The general
sentiment seems 10 be TO acQuiesce in any selec-
ton which will best promote Republican sue
cess While locality is consideration that
always prevails within certain limits. it would
seem at this time as if a man of eminent quaIi-
hcauons from any State might secure the nOni-
nation. Senator Allison IS such a man; he would
add immense strength 10 the ticket. regardless
OF locality He, however. prefers his seat in
the Senate, and has emphaticaIly declined
Il have already declared my personal prefer
