I'd III j. Il s y y
asis PITTSBCRG, June 1s.-In talking
TO a close friend James NJ. Guffey,
state Democratic leader. stated day
or 50 ago that his sole effort was TO
#secures the choice Of a Democrat who,
y nominated. will have chance to
win. He said he had twice followed
Bryan in an army of unshod, on for
Torn hopes, and now he wanted 10 sup

some hope of arriving at definite
and tangible result
Such man, Guffey mas about con

consider Cleveland as most to his
taste he believes that the Princeton

.sto get the backing of the business
men and win, II mat is possible for
Democrat In figuring on possible
Bryan DETECTION Guffey says that
Il enough votes, heretofore Republican,
& will sbe secured by Cleveland to more
than Offset the loss.
Other Pittsburgers are taking this
view Of the case. Charles a. Pagan
expressed himself in favor of the
Cleveland candidacy, and says he be
nominated in ST. Louis after the first
ballots are taken.
City Controller LarIsin is much in
terested in the Presidential situation,
and is keeping in touch with the
march of events. He had a talk
with Pagan few days ago, and the
q Cleveland proposition was discussed
at length. The Controller thinks
Cleveland would make a strong candi.

can win on account of the Tammany
{ opposition in New York. No meeting
of the Allegheny county delegation

AS the time for the Democratic Ma
$stional convention in ST. Louis draws
nearer activity in the Democratic
5 ranks is rea ching an acute stage, and
more and more interest centers around
the uninstructed Pennsylvania dele
cation and it's leader, Colonel James

er, and having failed directly are

Judge Parker has no chance for cleo
tion, even if he secures the nomina-
stion. On this account he worked
against the instruction Of the Key
stone delegation, and has since re-
fused to identity himself with the

Guffey has had a number Of confer.

 The meeting was called to order at 8 p. m. by F. J. Wattron. L. E. Divclbess was elected Chair man and A. F. McAllister acted as Secretary.
 A motion was made by F. M. Buck and seconded by w. H. Clark for the appointment ofa commit tee of three by the Chairman, to draft set of resolutions.
