Show CLEVELAND-GRAY. THAT WILL BE THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC DEMO-CRATIC TICKET IN 1892. r An Agreement Botwsen the ex-President and Governor Hill Which will Result -as Above, the l atter Taking the Senatorsnlp. New York, Nov. 14. Special. Ill is reported, that au agreement has been made by the Cleveland and Hill factions of the" Democracy by which the .governof will be elected to the United States Senate, in return for which he will support Cleveland for the Democratic nomination for President. If the compact is made in good, faith, there is no doubt of the ability of the two factions to accomplish the objects set forth. Of cburse Hill would much prefer the Presidential nomination, but he feels that rightly or wrongly, his followers fol-lowers did not act justly toward the nominee of the Democratic party in the last Presidential campaign. .This impression, his followers think, would injure him in the west, where it widely prevails. It is conceded that he could carry the state in 1892 and that he could secure the delegatiou to the convcution against Cleveland, but they admit this would avail them but little if the opinion in the south and west should prevail, that he had been untrue to the ex-president in the campaign of two years ago. The name of Mr. Daua of the Sun has been mentioned for the senatorship without his authority. If Hill continued contin-ued as an aspirant for the nomination before tho National Democratic convention conven-tion he would have thrown hisintluence to Dana for the senatorship but then the great editor would be bitterly and unrelentingly opposed by the Cleveland men because he has persistently assailed their leader personally as well as politically. politi-cally. Gray of Indiana is still the favorite for the vice-presidential nomination. Campbell of Ohio was mentioned for the place, but since his quarrel with an influential faction fac-tion in his own party his prospects have been impaired. The availability of General Palmer of Illinois has also been under discussion, and. even though be should be chosen United States senator it is thought that he could not be selected, se-lected, as Illinois is not yet regarded here as a doubtful state. The ticket, therefore, as far as New York is concerned con-cerned for the next national contest is Cleveland and Gray. |
