CLfl FORECASTS NEXT
CAMPAIGN.
Nothing In the Talk of Cleveland,
the Senator Says Gorman s
Strength in Georgia—Clay
Recalls the Campaign
of 1888.
Washington. June 10.—(Special.)—“It Is
worth while just now to recall the presi
dential campaign of ISSS," suggested Sen
ator Clay, of Georgia, recently reelected
for a six-year term by the legislature of
the Empire State of the South, last
evening at the Riggs.
"The republican nomination almost
went begging In the convention that year.
Edmunds went before the delegates with ,
a few voles; Bristow had a few votes
and so had Sherman. Nobody seemed
to care a great deal about being named
;>c th? standard bearer. It seemed to be
in the air that Grover Cleveland was
certain of another nomination and an
other term. The country seemed com- ,
mitted to him and to the democratic
party.
"Weil, the sequel is a matter of his
tory." continued the Georgia senator.
'Cleveland secured the renomination, but
to the surprise of nearly everybody he
failed of the reelection. Harrison, whose
nomination was supposed to be worth lit
tle. beat him.
"•‘f course, there isn't any doubt that
r esident Roosevelt will be nominated at
tiie next republican national conven
tion.''
Conservative Man Wanted.
"Hut you think the democratic nomi- .
nation next year may be something more '
than a convention honor?” was sug- ■
gested.
"We want a conservative man for our
nominee." declared Senator Clay, "but
one can't say vet witli any assurance
what his name will be. The next session
of congress may bring forward issues ■
which tv ill dovoinp sonic suitable candi- j
dab- whose name thus far has been little I
mentioned, if at all.
' The name' I have heard mnst men- ■
throughout Georgia have bee”,
those of Gorman and Parker. I thought

The Tai Iff as an Issue.
"Would you omit the tniff issue from
the next platform?"
"No." replied Senator Clay, “although
I would not favor anv weeping changes
that would upset busin ss."
And what should, in your judgment,
be done with the old democratic issue of
the last two campaigns?"
"I would omit mention in the platform
of that. ' said Senator Clay. "1 r it be
longs to conditions that are past. I was I
tin advocate of silver; I believe in it now. ■
but at the same time 1 realize that the ■
time is at hand for us to make a eon- >

We must have a candidate that will
be acceptable to the doubtful states of l
the east. As 1 said at the beginning, 1
there is nothing detiniie t•> indicate now
w io he will be. It may not become evi- ;
dent till the democratic convention imets
and ballots. I think one thing is certain, ,
that any man who strives to bring dem- 1
oeratl • sentiment to his eandidaecy is '
likelv to fail. The 'best any of the can- I
didates can do is to drift along with i
the tide. The man who tits under cir- ;
<iiinstances and conditions prevailing at j
the time of the convention will probably :
be nominated.”

Columbus Buyer Tries To Secure
King's Cotton, but He Is Too
Busy with Another Crop
To Bother About
Selling.
Columbus. Ga., June 12.—(Special.’>—
There is only one farmer in this whole
section of Georgia and Alabama who has
;;iiy cotton to speak of to sell. He is Wood
I King, of Cusseta, Ga., a prominent farm-
■ er of Chattahoochee county, and he has
; Something like 125 bales stored away In
t. houses and outhouses on his place.
iS > I. r as known, this is the only lot of
| unsold cotton in this territory, with the
■ exception of a small lot of 25 bales owned
[ by a Russell county farmer, which Is be
ing held in a Columbus warehouse until
the price of the staple touches 12 1-2 cents.
Recently a. Columbus cotton buyer went
down to see Mr. King at Cusseta to
sc if he could not buy the cotton. Mr.
King said that Lis hands were busy then
and it would take several days to colle.it
I and ship the cotton and he preferred not
'to lose th.' time. It is believed that by
holding tiie cotton until his crop is laid
’ey he can get full;.- one cent more for
it. Mr. King is not in a burly t-o seil his
cctton as a rui". He kept a lot of several
hundred bales seven years in a Columbus
warehouse s I'ing it during the past sea
son al In cents. Recently he sold another
large lot at 11 cents.
'1 here are only 30 bales of salable cot
ton in tiie Columbus warehouses. A ware
houseman said today tiiat. he believed a
lot of nice cotton would command 12
cents here, as several ot the local mills
ore short in their supply of raw material.
Receipts of the local warehouses this sea
son to date have been 61.000 bales, which
is several thousand bales more than the
total receipts last year. This does not
Include compress receipts, which are
something like 100,000 bales. <:

HOTEL GUESTS LEFT HUNGRY.
Two Thousand Waiters and Cooks
Leave Chicago Hotels.
Chicago, June 12. Union men in twelve
of the largest hotels struck early today.
Approximately 2,000 men, chiefly waiters
and cooks, are out. The large family
hotels are the principal sufferers from
the latest developments, the. down-town
hotels not being affected up to a late
hour. The Sherman house, however, suf
fered, 330 men walking out. tielng up
the dining room and bar service. Among
the other prominent establishments,
most of which will make an effort to
continue the service with the aid of their
guests, are: The Windemere. Hyde Park,
Chicago Beach, Holland, Metropole, Del
Prado, Vendome, Kenwood and Lakota.
In several instances the chambermaids
and bell boys joined the ranks of the
strikers. Committees visit' d the Audito
rium Annex, the Grand Pacific. Palmer,
Victoria and Stratford and Wellington
hotels, and upon refusal of the proprie
tors to accept their terms strikes were
at once called, it is estimated that 1,190
walked out in the seven hotels. Shortly
after 1 o'clock the employees of the
Kaiserhoff hotel went out. The manage
ment at once distributed lunch boxes
among the restaurant patrons with the
statement that the tables during the
strike would be at their disposal free of
charge on wli!oh to spread lunches
brought from home.
