THE TALK TO-DAY. ‘What is to be Done at Chicago? DEMOCRATIC SENATORS PROPOSE TO LET NEW YORK, ‘NEW JERSRY AND INDIANA SETTLE IT. Senator George, of Mississippl. thinks that a ma- Jority of the delegation trom that state to Une Chi- cago convention will be for Bayard, but no instrue- tons have been given. Most of the southern Senators express the opinion that the delegations trom their respective states will not undertake to settle upon any prest- dential candidate until they get to Chicago. Stuce the publication of the Tilden letter no effort to in- struct any southern delegations has been made, and the Senators from that section tink the del gates will xo to the convention untrammeled, and WAL there fall in Mine for the “strongest” man. Some of the Senators believe that Une soutnern delegates will propose that tne delegations trom New York, Indiiina aud New Jersey select a Ucket, and that ‘the south will agree to support such & | Ucket, This suggestion fs based upon the theory Uhat if the democrats elect a President It must be by the votes of these three states; or that, outside Of tue south, these are the states which the demo- crats can most reasonably expect to curry, and Uhat, as the delegates from those states ought to know best as to Who can make the best run with their people, 1 would be well to let tuem select the candidates, TALK ABOUT CLEVELAND. ‘The npression still prevalis at the Capitol that Governor Cieveland will be nominated at Chicago on the 8th of July.

THE WEST VIRGINIA CONUNDRUM. ‘The letter of ex-Senator Davis, of West Virginia, in reply to the published allegation that ne would support Blaine has been pretty severely criticised by democrats in Congress Ina discussion about tt ina group of democratic Senators the unanimous rdict was that the letter “was very thin.” E: Senator Davis and Mr. Blaine are not only warm personal friends, but they are intimately concerned 4m large business enterprises. ‘The democratic com. plaint 1s that the Davis letter ts not emphatic enough in the dental of intention to support Blaine, any declaration ofa willingness to support the democratic candidate. Mr. Davis was at the Capitol yesterday afternoon, and he re- marked that he thought it unjust to single him out. of the West Virginia democrats asan object of sus- pleion. A prominent democrat, in endeavoring to excuse Davis and defend his letter, sald he supposed the ex-Senator meant all right, "but failed to ex- press his meaning forcibly, adding: “He 1s a very poor han at writing the English language any- how.” AS a part of the discusston of thls letter It 4s sald that the claim of the Blaine men that he will carry West Virginia 1s based.upon the assump- ton that Davis will support him. ‘THE STAR ROUTE INVESTIGATION, Judge Key and Contractor Colgrove— ‘Their Testimony Exonerating Mr. Ker.

Witness went tosee Ker; told him he ‘was satisfied that Colgrove was innocent and ought not to be indicted. Mr. Ker replied that he didu’t Delleve those men to be innocent; that he had proof of their guilt. Witness replied that Boone, whom he knew had attempted to blackmail Colgrove, had testified agalnst Colgrove, and he cautioned’ Ker that he could not credit Boone’s evidence. Mr. Ker declared that Colgrave ought to make restitu- ion to the government; ought to restore money he had improperly got. Witness reported this to Colgrove, who declared that he had never obtatned adollar Improperly, but as an indictment would ruin him, he would rather pay money to the ‘gov- ernment’than be indicted.
