Clopton, of St. Louis, U. 8, Attorney for the eastern district of Missouri, is in Washington, He is credited with always keeping posted on Democratic sentiment in his section.

Morrison, 1 think that he has the call in Missouri over any other Democrat who has been mentioned in connection with the presidency.
