mer house, have concluded to shift to
the Clifton, and the rooms of the dele
gation are expected to be opened today,
Three members of the Michigan dele-
gation arrived in the city last evening,
but were averse to talking to newspaper
men. Michigan is regarded as the
pivotal state, as of 28 voters, 13 are for
eonnd money and there are three con
tested seats. ' It is supposed the three
contested seats will be given to the sil
ver men, and in that case- the vote of
the state would make the necessary ma
jority. ' None of the Michigan delegates,
however, would submit to an interview.
and would express no opinion as to
the contests.
Two of the Southern states, Alabama
and Georgia, will be represented in Chi'
cago tomorrow. The Georgia delega
tion, while uninstructed, is said to favor

it is for Bland. The delegation is unin
structed. v. V :-
' Notwithstanding the protestations ef
Senator-elect Money, to the contrary, it
is' said the Mississippi delegation is
largely for Bland. Mr. Money's claim
is that the men from the rolling water
state are for Boies, bnt several members
of the delegation declared last night
that "Silver Dick" would be its first
selection. -.,'' - -

TO BOOM PENNOYER.
Delegate Nickel 1 Goes to Chicago With
a Mission. ; L'r-..-
Mr. Charles Nickell, of the - Jackson
ville Times, and a member of the solid
eight Democratic free-silver delegatiou
that goes to Chicago to nominate a can
didate for president, was in Portland
yesterday, says the Oregonian. Mr.
Nickel 1 is secretary of the delegation,
and, in addition, he claims as a distinc
tive honor that he is the man who put
up the job to have the Oregon delegation
to Chicago instructed for free silver.
Mr. Nickell left last night, fully de-
termined, as he put it, "to join with the
other Democrats of the country, who
favor free silver in nominating a man
who will be sure to beat MclCinley in
the presidential race." All ".that he
wants is to concentrate all the free-Silver
forces on one man, and ' then he looks I
for an easy game. Mr. Nickell says he
has no personal choice for president;
but he expects it will be Bland, Morgan'
or Pennoyer, and he mentions the latter
name with 'an exceedingly -big "P."
The Jackson county delegate bad his
pockets crammed with pictures of Port
land's new mayor, on the reverse
are printed some snappy utterances of
the . ex-governor, giving his political
record, where he was born, and how
educated.- It also refers to his deter
mination only to accept half of his salary
as mayor, and winds up with an extract
of Pennoyer's famous message to Cleve
land, when he told tbe chief executive
to mind his own business. .-
Mr. Nickell takes the Pennoyer presi
dential boom to Chicago with him. '. If
Pennoyer fails in getting the presiden
tial nomination, then the Oregon dele
gation will try for second', place on the
ticket, and between the two they expect
to win. ' .
