Ppress Veterans. KANSAS CITY, Mo, Aug. 10—If the sentiments expressed by delegates passing through Kansas City on their way to the Grand Army convention at San Francisco correctly represent the situation, General Miles will be a formidable candidate for commander-in-chief. There are evidences that there is more than a perfunctory organization of ihe campaign on his behalf. Members of the official delegation from New York have re- celved letters saying General Miles will be « candidate and urging their support. They say that the letters were not from Gen- eral Miles himself, but from some one ap- parently empowered to represent him. “General Miles lives in our state," John 8. Koster, department commander of the state of New York, “and we may sup- port him for commander-in-chief, although we may not be & unit on the proposition. Resolutions wero adopted at our state en- campment endorsing General John G. ack, but you wiil understand that these {olutions are not binding on the dele- Utes to the national convention. We have recelved letters soliciting our support for General Miles, and, as I said before, he provably will receive some votes from the New York delegation. General Miles endeared himself to all of tha soldiers of the big war by his con- duct in that war and the splendid record in the years that followed previous to his coming into the command of the army. How much the fact that he has been at outs witl, the administration will affect his candidacy I carnot say. “I don't know the sentiment of other dele- gations to the national convention, but I presume General Miles will not lack a re- spectable backing."! “General Miles has any number of friends in the Grand Army and it may be he will be a formidable candidate,” sald General Nicholas Day of New York. Says Miles Stands No Show, J. T. Btewart, present commander-in} chief of the Crand Army of the Republic, who passed through Kansas City today om the way to the grand encampment, said: “General John C. Black of Chicago will be the next commander-in-chlef. I don't think any other candidate can win against him. The majority of the larger depart- ments in the country have instructed for General Black and he will be elected.” “WIill there be any recognition of Gen- eral Miles in the convention, any resolu- tions or anything of that kind?' was asked. “I cannot say as to that/' continued General Stewart. “The retirement of Gen- eral Miles has been so recent that any sentiment created at the time or following his retirement bas hardly developed yet.
