Quay having got a cop -

er of the others it is senatorial toga's

The probabilities all point Reed,
however, simply because he is in a
good position to offer a dicker which
may land Quay on the winning side,
which is where he wants to be. It is
generally admitted that wd will
have the solid New England delega-
tion and a number of scattering votes
from other states. If he ean add to
those Pennsylvania's sixty-four votes
he will enter the convention with
more voles than any other candidate,
which would of itself attract a number
of unattached votes, perhaps enough
to nominate him on the first or second
ballot. A majority nominates in the
Republican convention.
Hon. William H. 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. In the course of an interest-
ing conversation he said: ‘‘The pres.
ent agitation over silver will do the
Democratic party no harm in Missou-
ri. The state will be overwhelmingly
Democratic in 1896, There is consider-
able talk out our way about the candi-
dacy of Col. William R. Morrison, 1
think that he has the call in Missouri
over any other Democrat who has been
mentioned in connection with the
presidency. Morrison's long and hon-
orable public career, his unspotted per-
sonal character, his conservatism, and
his straight Democracy are points in
his favor not to be overlooked. He is
available from every standpoint, and
he is popular throughout the entire
country.”
Although Ex-Senator Ransom has
been reappointed Minister to Mexico,
his first appointment having been de-
cided illegal by the accounting officers
of the Treasury, and is now on his way

a bee line for the head or body of some
