Fan-American Delegates In Toronto. Toronto, Ont., July 22. Distinguish Washington; July 20. The names of Mr. Stephen B. Elkins. of West Vir ginia, Senator Davis, of Minnesota, and Mr. H. Clay Evans, of Tennessee, are sabjects of considerable gossip among republican politicians at this time. Mr. Elkins and Mr. Evans are general t credited with entertaining vice-presidential aspirations. Senator Davis, it Ls thought, has another axe to grind, but will adopt the same methods that the other two use in accomplishing his pnrpose. Within the past few weeks a distinct Elkins boom has made its appearance. li poses now as a presidential boom, bit all politicians are agreed that this is 'merely a subterfuge, ana that it is the second place on the national ticket upon which Er. Elkins has designs and not the first place. It is the general idea that Mr. Elkins, while very glad to bold the position of United States seuator, would prefer sifting at the hoad 01 the senate to being merely a member of that august body. They probably think it likely he could have the senatorship any time that he wanteds it, ifhe should decide to relinquish it temporarily. Flan of the Elkins Boom. The plan of the Elkins boom for the yice presidency, as understood among politicians of the national capital, is tiiis: That he is to go into the national convention as a candidate for the pres idential nomination and with sufficient sjtrength to make it an object to others to trade with him. It would be neces sary, of course, for him to control sev eral delegations, capital with which to d business, and it is to obtain this cap ital that his friends are now said to be laboring. It is claimed that Mr. El lens can secure tha support of the West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia and Niw Mexico delegations, forming a nu cleus around which he might gather oiier southern and western contin gents. - - ... packed by these delegates, and with at occasional group of El kinsmen from sqine of the southern states, it is claim ed that the West Virginian would go iiio the convention as a formidable mp.n, and well worthy the considera tion of candidates desiring first place arid needing auxiliary strength to their own. following. An Evans and McKinley CnmW nr?taf jnaa ki""aa in connec tion, with this gossip, Mr. 11. vioy Evans, is regarded as probably Ihe most formidable obstacle to Mr. Elkins' ambition to be Vice President, if such really is Mr. Elkins' desire. General credence is given to the report that a cast iron combination will be made be tween Mr. McKinley and Mr. Evans for mutual aid and support in obtaining,? respectively, first an second place on theticket. Mr. Evans is regarded as probablv the leading southern republi can of the day in point of political in fluence. Ptecent events in Tennessee have strenffthened his hold upon the southern remiblieas, and it is believed bv many that he could easily take the leadership of his party south of Mason and Dixon's line. The treneral gossip in this connection is that Mr. Evans control the southern delegations for Mr. McKinley for President and h mtelf for Vice Jfresi dent, while Mr. Mckinley will give Mr. Evans some support from the north. If this combination should be faithfully observed by both the supposed parties at issue it is thought it would prove hard fame for the other candidates to beat. Stooki, Convict.

The attitude assumed by the wi;tern Senators renders the reorganization of the Senate by the republicans improbable. If Dupont is admitted as the Senator from Delaware the republicans will Btill have less than a majority the Ssftaie0li' election in Delaware least that Dupont's credentials are sat isfactory. This will make the number of Senators who may properly be term ed republicans forty-three. Forty-five are necessary to a reorgan ization, and to make up the deficiency the republicans have the "republican populists" Jones and Stewart of Ne vada, Fetter ana Marion uuuer iu draw on. If two of these would go into the republican caucus the question of reorganization would then be settled. It is believed that Jones may go into this caucus, but if he does he will pro bably be the only one, the other popu lists desiring to keep up their tmra party organization. There might be a combination between the repumicans 15 at but it is Ti ere that the f"f ' - . . western republican senators step -and object.
