New York has given a promise to support him after Keller has been given the seventy- two complimentary vot:s. Pennsyl- vania, Illinois and Florida have al- ready declared for him, and New Jersey and Indiana will undoubtedly do so. Other wavering delegations will fall into line and it looks as though Stevemeon will be nominated on the first ballot. After a late conference with eight chairmen of State delegations, David B. Hill said: “My opinion is that Mr. Steven- son will be nominated. He will make a most exccllent candidate.” L e = ST PPN P P S Dededededosoiod B e B S o A S S AL S o s e S S o S on S o S o S S Sh e S 0 S aa oo S | | | @V e e ot sied et eb oo e B e o o o o o o a . e rPe G eve L eI e ADLAI EWING STEVENSON OF ILLINOIS. D e R o et ed 0@ Belmont Scores Hill and Declares That ‘the Reaffirmation of the Chicago Platform Cannot Be Turned Into a Victory for New York’s Ex-Governor. P. BELMONT. BY OLIVER H. C:\LL HEADQUARTERS, KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 5.—The New York delegation came to Kansas City with the idea only of accepting whatever platform was adopted and whatever candidates were nominated, and with the “hope of having its views and suggestions respected. We didn’t come to make a fight on anything whatsoever, It was expected that - the Chicago platform would be reaffirmed, consequently reaffirmation alone cannot be turned into a vic- tory for Hill, for it is nothing more than what was expected, and was understood to be a concesssion to both extreme views. There need not have been any fight on this question, if Hill had not gone ahead alone and filled the papers with what he was go- ing to do and what he was not going to do without the author- ity of the delegation. The selection of Van Wyck was intended to prevent just the disturbance which Hill has succeeded in creating. It could not fail to impress everybody with the fact that the cheering and prearranged demonstration for Hill was sec- onded by curiosity and the natural sympathy of the average American for a defeated man. If it is anything more than that it amounted to an interference with the management of the Democracy of New York, ,which no Democrat can admit or tolerate. The Democratic party in New York claims its right to de- clare who its leader shall be, and that leader is Richard Croker, and the Democratic party or the candidate of the party (Mr. Bryan) has no better worker or friend in or out of the conven- tion than Croker. . Hill has not taken his defeat in a manner that could have been expected of a man of his experience and knowledge of politics. And his best friend could not but regret the manner in which he behaved and his appeal to his past friends in Con- gress to help rehabilitate him in opposition to the judgment of his party in his owa State. @eiereisieieisisteiebersbieiebeteteieg and personal pledges not to run for Vice President. What these are he will not divulge, but they are supposed to have reference to the desire of Hill to nominate Elliott Danforth. Hill frankly says that if he is nominated he. will be compelled to withdraw, and he is taking the proper means to acquaint the Democratic leaders with his intention in order that no awk- ward mistakes may be made.
