ness of Judge Whipple, but the claims
of Mr.. Edwards are also being given
careful consideration. He has very
strong Endorsements and forces close
to the White House are interested
in his behalf. 1t is the general belief
here, however, that Judge Whipple has
the better chance.
The most definite fact is that Judge
Park, Thomas S. Fielder and William
w. Osborne are definitely out of the
race. John T. West of Thomson, the
choice of Senator HardWick, seems al
SO to be steadily losing ground. A nom
