WASHINGTON, y. c.. June 17.--lt ap-
pears Uncomfortable 10 those at nll flu
mllinr with tho fucts that tho news
Papers of the country should give space
to stories concerning the Importance OF
efforts which are being made to make
either MI. Cleveland OF Mr.. German the
nominee OF the ST. Louis convention. It
would be as easy, much easier, Indeed,
TO nominate Mr.. Hearst than either OF
tho gentlemen named.
Ibis In effect, was what ono Of the
best known Democrats in the country
said In the course Of conversation last
night. Lilo had been discussing tho re-
ports printed In several OF tho northern
papers to tho effect that tho Cleveland
people were seriously of the opinion
that IT would be possible to nominate
the sage OF Princeton, and that some
wanted to SEQ German the nominee and
were at work to bring about u combina-
ton which would make his nomination n
certainty.
Flo alluded to the reports that the vir-
ginla delegation was for Mr.. German,
and that the vote Of the state
would be cast for him at st. Louis. It is
and said that there are some papers In
tho country which have even said that
the delegation would vote for, Mr. Clevc-
land for the nomination. The latter is
the most absurd OF n. tho many ruinors
which arc flying. regarding the attitude
OF tho Virginia delegation. Mr.. Ryan, Of
Nelson county, and possibly one other Of
Tthe delegation, are understood to be very
friendly to the nomination OF Mr.. Cleve-
land. Those who know Senator Martin
and Senator Daniel best, know that there
Is scarcely man In the country for
whom they would not rather vote. il
there is an anti-Clevcland man In the
country, that man is John w. Daniel,
and he does not attempt to conceal his
views. 4s I'll
OF course tho delegation is ovcrwhelm-
ingly for Judge Parker. The assurances
given the convention by Senator Daniel,
Senator Martin and Mr.. Glass, and the
repeated declarations of other prominent
members OF the delegation that the dele
gates from Virginia are for Judge
Parker, should be sufficient. II 1t were
conceivable that these gentlemen would
undertake at this date to deliver the
vote OF the State In the convention to
some other candidate. without ax-
periencing any moral qualms, 1t Is en-
tirely inconceivable that they should
feel that there would be no political
consequences OF the most serious ma
ture attaching to their action. The fact
that the delegation was linnstructed
leaves 1t free to cast the vote OF the
state as a majority may decide, ana
causes some to think that some other
man than Judge Parker may get 1t.
Judge Parker will get It. unless there
should be tremendous change and an
entirely unforeseen change in the sItua-
lion between now and the date Of the
convention
Senator Daniel reiterated this In this
city this week. and SO did Senator Mar
tin. Senator Daniel also told the New
York reporters this on tuesday lie Is In
New York on business, but 1t Is expected
that he will be here again Tomorrow.
He talked with Thomas i. Ryan while in
New York, but while he talked politics,
he said that thdre was nothing In tho
conversation regarding an attempt to
cast the vote of the State for any other
candidate than Judge Parker.
