st. Louis, July 9.-Vice presidential
talk is yet at a premium. About noon
there will be conferences, in which New
York and Pennsylvania will be promi-
nent, locking 10 an agreement. Marshall
Field, of Chicago, could have had second
place if he had not let it be known that
he would refuse if nominated. Turner
stock seems to have gone below steel
common. What little gossip there is
seems to centre about Williams, of Hi
nois, aud DOckery, Of Missouri. Will
liams is fortunate, geographically ;
Dockery sentimentally. 1t looks like
Tom Taggart, of Indiana, for national
chairman.
Senator Tillman, who afterwards Joined
the conferees, urges the nomination OF
Senator Daniel, of Virginia. OTIS
time the South were recognized he told
them. "And, besides, you ought to
feel kindly toward him, because he sup
ported the gold plank" Delegate Del
mas, of California, is representing the
Hearst end at the conference. Harlan
Cleveland. of Cincinnati, was there for
Judson Harmon, and told them that
Judge Harmon would positively decline
the vice presidential nomination. Judge
Harmon told him SO over the long dis
lance telephone today.
Convention Hall, St. Louis, July g..
%. m'-The tip is out strong that
Harmon will be given the nomination
for vice presidential. All the early
delegates in the hall, including num-
Der of leaders, claim that Harmon
nomination is certain.
2. p. m.-The vice presidency is still
between Harmon and Francis.
Shortly before noon leading delegates
representing New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Illinois and Missouri, went into
consultation on the vice presidential
nomination. The conference was held
in w. F. Sheehan's room at Southern.
New York brought out Judge Gray, o.
Delaware, it being their desire to coun
teract by his nomination the plottorm'
silence on the money question. The I'M
portant feature of the meeting, however
was the evident earnest desire of many
of the partici oants to bring about the
nomination of Judson Harmon, Of Ohio
The convention met at 2:19 and aftel
n short session. and without naming can
didates for vice president, adjourned I'll
4:30 O'Clock.
The impression is that Harmon vii
be nominated.
