HEARST and HARRISON
\ Ticket Talked of in East and West
and Growing in l.avor.

hS. a ulSCuSSlOU OI DemOCTdUlC
presidential material was going on.
the Democrats present were taking
ltsior granted that the Kansas City
platform, or Bryan, wing of the Dem
ocratic party, will be in control of the
1904 nominating convention. e
Hearst and Harrison would make
la good combination for Tammany
Hall and the Cook County Democracy.
said another Tammany leader, in
reply. Hearst got Is, Oooplurality in
his congress district last fall. If he
ran as well all over the city at the
head OF the presidential ticket, he
would carry the city by $50, 1000. Nei-
tller Roosevelt nor Otlell could Aape
to beat him in the state ut that rate.
As for Harrison, he will carry Chicago
for Mayor by 10000 this fall and cir
cumstances might exist under which
he would carry Illinois as a vice presi-
Dental candidate next year,
Hearst's candidacy for President is
getting to be an accented feature of
the New York Democratic situation.
SO many of the Bryanite newspapers
and Congressman, too oil the West
and South, r talking about the New
York editor that good political judges
suspect Bryan Of being behind him.
Bryan is very friendly To llarrison.
ltls pointed out That !learst,s cam
didacy, cannot be pursued very much
further without precipitating ructions
In this state. Upto this time the big
state Democrats, like Hill and Murphy
and Mclaughlin, have looked on the
editor as joke. Mr.. Hill has sport
lively satupOn his political ambitious
at le;lst thrice. So has Mr.. McLaueh-
lin. II is true that Mr.. Murphy, who
is q great admirer Of Mr.. Brisbane's
editorials In the Evening Journal, has
sent Mr.. Hearst TO Congress; but Nj.
Murphy might not--so his friends say
consider those editorials good ma.
terial for a Democratic national plat
form. In that event Mr.. Hearst
might suddenly find himself In con
f1ict not only with iii III and McLaugh-
lin, butswith his local Tammany boss.
MIR. Hearst, before he came to New
York. established something &c a
reputation in California; as j fighter.
He left. In fact, the political remains
OF several once promising statesmen
in his wake when lie came East.
There are those who point to ex-
Mayor Robert "A. Van Wyck as an
example of Dir. Hearst's proficiency
nearer home. It cannot he denied
that Mr.. Hearst brought tile proceed.
lings in court which revealed Van
Wyck,s name o. the stock books Of
the Ice Trust. Soft is argued that
prophecies %unfayorable to Mr.. Hearst
would al. this moment be premature.
That Mr.. Hearst. nourisiles some
designs that are not exactly pacific is
suggested by the fact that his New
York newspaper, the American, has
lately made 4 few vicious digs at State
Leader Hill. and asked some sour
