In connection with the nomination.
1t nov appears that with the New
York Democrats IT Is anything to beat
Hearst. It is not believed In New York,
according to visitors to Washington from
that State, there Is any danger OF Mr..
Hearst's capturing the delegation from
the Empire State, but It has been made
the determination OF the leaders to make
1t absolutely: certain that such IN event
Is impossible.
Get Together
The speeches made at the banquet Of
the Virginia Association here on the
third Of the present month have created
more interest than any Of the utternnces
Of public men In Il long time. Get TO-
gethcr" was the central idea of all the adj
dresses. and 1t was presented ina way
that has attracted the attention of the
entire country. The Louisville Courier
Journal said in the course of an editorial
article few days ago that the speeches
OF Senator Daniel and others were Or
more Importance than any utterances q
any State convention In a long While
Represeh tative Rixey said the other day
that he would like to see Senator Da 1i1
nominated to the presidency ssf the
elected the, fact that there are many
Democrats In each branch Of; Congress
VI would like to see the convention 90
that very thing. 5 do not risk ANY
thing In saying that SenatAr Daniel Is
the most popular senator on the Demo-
cratic side. and, perhaps. the most pop
tLlar on either side. He has steadily
grown since he entered the Senate nearly
eighteen years ago, until he IS now IN a
position of Influence ouch as few men
attain. Virginia has never had repro
sentative In the United States Senate who
was more beloved by his coilea CUES, nor
one more honored and respected Sena-
tor Daniel occupies a peculiar position
among senator's in that he Is held IN al
feetionate esteem by all of them, while
the rest are generally only more or less
esteemed.
Joe Bailey's Opinion.
Senator Bailey sald only recently that
no had rather see Senator Daniel made
President than any other Democrat, He
never loses opportunity to express his
admiration for the character OF the
senior senator from Virginia.
The time has nc. yet come when O
Southern man can be elected to the presl-
dency in the opinion of the wisest men
in the party, the New York Sun to the
contrary notwithstanding, It having re-
Gently taken occasion to differ with this
view, which I expressed in this CORE
srondence some days ago. i 1t was
thought that an ex-Confederate soldier
could DO elected President Of the United
States there is no doubt that Senator
Daniel, the most prominent and most
popular ex-Confcderate Democrat IN tho
United States, would be a leading cnndi-
data fOr the nomination. III. -4= .sfa If
But the time has not yet come when
Southern Democrats are expected 10
aspire TO the highest office In the coun-
try. They are allowed to pay pensions
to Northern soldiers and vote for North
crn and Western men for tho presidency.
Senator Bailey has recently been mem
toned in connection with the preslden-
tai nomination. a delegation waited on
hin, and informed him that 1t would be
very gratifying to them II he would al
low them to vote for him at the ST.
Louis Convention.
"Gcntlemen" said Bailey, when Tho
spokesman Of the delegation had fin
isbcd, ION the wall Of my office ~
Gainesville there hangs u picture OF JEFF
ferson Davis"
His reply made a lengthy speech to show
tho idlencss of talk OF nominating him
entirely unnecessary.
