Charles +. Murphy. leader OF Tanmany Ran.

from friends In various States that ex-senator

States. Just how many of them are 20 be nom
mated for Vice-President In one year Mr. Bill
has not taken the trouble 10 explain. In return
for the honor of beirg Judge Parker's running
mate. these men sre expected to fall into line
for Parker on the first ballot in the st. Louis

The Craftsmanship OF the national committee
1t was learned last night. has been dangled be-
fore ex-Mayor Taggert Of Indianapolis. Colonel
James NJ. Guffey. of Pennsylvania. and Senator
L. II. McCarren. OF this city Colonel Guffey
discovered last week that several others besides
himself were being played" for this honor He
got angry about 1t and began to Investigate
Then II occurred to the Tammany men TO inves-
tigate in all the so-called doubtful States The
result Of their investigation Is as already told
Mr.. Hill wants Mr.. Shfvely to be candidate
for Ffce-President because he lives In a close
State. has served several terms In Congress and
m Cax-
ticket In 1896
the candidate because the Congressman. as lead
er OF the House. has demonstrated ability Of the
first class. and his nomination would wipe out
sectioransm.
Mr.. Hill desires Mr.. Wall OF Wisconsin, as
candidate for Vice-President because the dele
gates from the Badger State are held fast and
sure by Mr.. Wall
Mr.. Hill wants ex-senator William A Har-
ris of Linwood. Kan. to be the candidate for
Vice-President. because. 1t is said he is an ex-
Confederate general. railroad builder and
breeder of Shorthorn steers and the WoIfert's
Roost statesman is said 10 be little short on
steers of the right kind.
Mr.. Hill wishes Circuit Attorney Folk 10 be
Judge Parker'S running mate because Mr. Folk
rs terror 10 election thieves and other per-
sons of shady populations. and the manager n
chef OF the Parker boom has been inssteut
ABOUT purity IN elections ever since the May
nard campaign
Mr.. Hill wants Ex-Governor David f. Francis
70 be on the ticket IL second place because
Francis has "bar'I' and is good fellow"
Mr.. Hill wants to carry West Virginia and
for that reason he has persuaded Allen c. Brax-
ton. OF that State. that he IS the only candidate
for second place in sight Mr.. BraxtOn never
has been a Senat tor or Congressman but he has
hopes" and also he has the West Virginia dele
gates
Mr. Hill did not forget that Texas is q large
State and that ex-governor Hogg Is man 70
be considered. Hc wants Mr.. HcGs 10 Tor
Vice-President. because, presumably. while he
is AT II, he wants the cotton and corn belt we'll
represented. Also ne wants 70 catch the Bryan
vote. and NJ. HOSg is a Bryan man
Now that all these ambitious men know that
Mr.. Hill wants them 70 be NiCe-President. they
are fully prepared TO act with discretion and de-
cision IS soon they get 70 the St Louis con-
Nen1lOn
