It has long been known that a majority of Republican Republi-can Senators are opposed to the nomination of President Harrison by their party, and that a majority of the Democratic Senators were in the same state of mind concerning the nomination of Mr. Cleveland by the Democrats. Recent events have had a tendency to make it appear probable that Cleveland and Harrison Har-rison would again head their party tickets, and the result has been a very marked activity among the Senators to devise ways and means of preventing this, and there are numerous hints being privately dropped of surprises in store for the public as to candidates on both sides, but the Senators are wary; they all wisli to be solid with the man selected as candidate by their party, even if it be Cleveland and Harrison, consequently the greatest secrecy is being observed about their movements to defeat those gentlemen. |
