A the selection of candi- dates for both president and vice-president from the sume state is, of course, politically impossivle it is suid that the governor deeided to withdraw his afiliation from the Cullom boom and tarow all his strength to Blaine. The first overt declaration of ind pendence, so the story goes, was made by the vovernor when, in spite of the objections of Cullom’s frieuds, he appoivted J. H. Bark- loy of Springficld to succeed Adjutant Gen- eral Vance. The appointment was made in spite of the open opposition of Senator Cul- lom’s home organ, which followed with a se- vere criticism of the governor himself for Lis action Immediately Jollowing this episode Gov- ernor Fifer was atnounced by ais home pupers as a prospective candidate for the vice presidency. Working the Palmer Boo Many of the admirers of General Palmer are permitting themselves to grow very en- thusiastic over his supposed chunces for the presidential nomination by the democrats. They insist that he s better timber, in view of the growing complications between the antagonistic elements in eastern states, thian cither Hill or Cleveland. With the retnited Cook county demoeracy betind him they ox- press confldence in their ability to carry the state, Then, they argue, Illinois cirried means Tudiana sure, as well as Michizan and Towa, thus giving the party a very comforta- ble supply of votes in the clectoral college. The general is said to have already been as- sured the control of the Ilinois delegation to the national convention. In the meantime, as already stated in Tne Beg, there is an element of indefinite pro- portions busily at work among the democrats of the northwest enlisting-the faithful und the banner of Clevelund and tariff reform, and Cartor Harrison is not the man to re- lease his grasp on uny possiole chance he way have for national honors. But these things are not_permitted to mar the bright visions of the Palmerites. Labor the Prey of Politicians, Political issucs aro _assuming a position of jmportance in labor circles here.

The professionals at the head of the movemeut are active and un- serupulous. The great center for the Cregier noliticiuns is the building trades’ council. The manipulators have managed to pack the council so that it hus simply become a ma- chiue for registering their wishes, As @ partof the scheme an attempt was recently made by the leading spivits of toe council to ioduce carpenters hero to iguore their coutracts with builders, with the purpose, it is understood, of preciy itating a strike to be used for political pur- poses.

WORLD'S FALR NOTES, W k Resumed on the Buildings—The Lody Managers. CHicrco, Aug. 14.—This morning a largo torce of men resumed work upon the mines and minivg building of tho world's fair, Work was suspended on the woman's build- me but a few hours and it is being actively pushed ahead. The temvorary delay in the work on some of the buildings, caused by the necessity of verifying the calculations, is now about over and the work of construction is being pushed ail around. Mrs. Palmer, president of the board of lady managers, has called a meeting of that body for Sseptember 2. A full report of all work that bas been done will be presented to the board at that time . Palmor 15 of the opinion thut it will materiaily advance the iuterests of women's work turoughout the Unitea States if the women of the various states who have been appointed on world’s fair state boards could be prosent for a zon- a ference with members of the board. Mrs. Palimer has veccived a letter from Mr. Ryan, United States ministe to Mexico, in which he snys in accordance with Mrs, Palmer's sug- gestion he will endenvor to have President Diaz appoint a committeoof ladies, hoaded by Mrs. Diaz to interost. the ladies of Moxico in the work.

WILL BE Hopkins' Contest o His Mothe:'s Will Likely to Involve Big Mcn. SAN Fraxcisco, Cul, Aug. 14.—Timothy Hopkins will undoubtedly contest the will of his adopted mother, Mrs. Hopkins-Searles, and the fight will be long and bitter, in- volving, as it does, not only an enormous property, also but the question asto who shall retain the balanco of power in the Cen- teal & Southern Pacific railway. Mr. Hunt- ington's well known egeressiveness promises very fierce oppositiou, but from the dete ination impl in ' an interview with Timothy Hopkins there is no doubt that the latter, too, will enter the fight to stay. Ex- pressions of his fricads in this city show that they, ut least, aro sanguine of his either winning the fight or forcing a compromise Asawell known railroad man said today, Huntington’s object in the fight will be to keep the Hopiins-Searles block of railroad stock, and, if the worst comes 1o the worst, he will be'ready to join ‘Timothy Hoplkins in putting up several million dollars 1n order to keep his end up in the railroad contest. At the office of the Pacific railroad, at Fourth and Townsend streets, there was a general opiuton that the fight for the Hopkins-Scayles millions will bo long and bitter, One high official suid: **Hopkins has placed himself the hands of bis attornoys, and be will nct uc- ding to plans they have laid out for him, im's woing to fizht, and they'll all fight, and there'll bo & nasty time of it, 'm afraid. No doubt Tim will win n big share of the estate, but in doing so ho will make deadly warfare between the powers here and the powers in New York, and whea the bi chiefs begin to fight as they did two ago we officers just underneath have to look out for our- selves. : L remember how Huntington said two years ago: ‘I've always had to take tho name Mephistopbeles i this railroad business and Stanford has vs posed as the grand phi- lanthrophist, but now ['m going to show up Stantord as iPaust, and dow’t you forret it,’ Well, the fight was calied off that time before Huntington could carry out his venc olent intentions, sonow I sunpose he will take up his end of it just where he laid it down before. ———— WEATHER FOiECAST.
