The Democratic national convention will assemble In St. Leuis en Tuesday. Frem present Indications Judge Thnrmsa, who baa consented te be s candidate, Is likely te be theatmeet unanimous oheloeof the con vention for vles president As Cleveland's unanimous nomination la a foregone con clusion, the absence of a straggle ever tbe vice presidential nomination will tend te greatly abbreviate the convention. Ex Lieutenant Governer White, el California, haa been decided upon for temporary, and Congressman Cellins, et Massachusetts, ter permanent chairman. It la understood that the tariff plank et tbe platform will be mainly constructed from tbe president's messsge, mere Deing strong opposition 10 tbe radical desire for the endorsement or he Mills bill. It waa thought en Friday and Saturday that the Thurman boom waa ephemeral : that It bad no real strength ; that It was confined te the Paoifle alepe people, wbe were there with a hale of bsndannaasnd numerous boxes of California wine ler free distribution, snd tbat the delegates te ar rive would see tbe danger snd felly of nominating for vice president s msn who Is 75 yeara of age, and ae Infirm that be moves about with the aid of ethers. But this calculation has been shattered by the arriving delegates, wbe seem te have been overtaken by the Thurman wave while en route, and who arrive marching, behind the Thurman banner snd deoerated with ban dannas, A singular feature of this Thurman del uge Is the fact tbat It receives arslstanee from men who are opposed te It and who speak or It aa bad politics." Be far as tbe character, qualifications snd merits el Thurman are concerned there la no differ ence of opinion. Men like German, of Maryland ; Morrison, of Illinois i Walter son, of Kentueky ; Voorhees, of Indiana, and Soett, et Pennsylvania, really depre cate the movement because et Tnnrman'a age and Infirmities, vet are nreDsred te Jump Inte tbe current and drift along with ice uue mat is te carry ine um Keman " te tbe second place en the Democratic tieket, Among ether Pennsylvania arriving Sunday morning were the members of tbe W. U. Hansel association, erganised for this occasion only. Ths Henael men were Mr. Hensel himself, who Is substituted rer Delegate Jehn S. Hoever, or this dlstrlet ; Fourth district (Philadelphia), Delegates Jehn J. Shields and Geerge Thomsen, Delegates E. A. Blgler, Pittsburg; Judge Orvls, Centre county ; A. W.

All the Pennsylvania delegates who ar rived Sunday morning attended tbe caucus held before neon. Cbslrmsn Eisner was present and announced one of the object te be choice of members et the oemmlttees. A roll call showed only 23 delegates pres ent, snd It was said there was only one ether delegate In tbe city. As 21 Is 7 less than a majority, Mr. Scott, Mr. Hansen, Mr. Hensel and ethers suggested postponement of sotlen, snd it wss agreed te adjourn until morning. In the informal talk of these delegates it was intimated that the dele gates would be a unit en all questions be fore the convention, and the delegate-at-large, Beyle, was tbe obnlee for chairman or itee Pennsylvania ; Delegate-at-Large Mutchler te go en tbe committee en resolu tions ; Delegate at-Large Caaaldy, commit tee en permanent orgaulzatlen, and W. U. Hensel, committee en credentials, Mr. Hensel, however, Insists that Judge Orvia be put en the committee en credentials. After adjournment most of the delegates said there waa no doubt that Pennsylvania would be a unit for Tburmin. Mr. Soett eald he thought Thurman would Denomi nated, tbat Mr. German would net oppose him, and that any efforts te nominate Gray would be the hardest kind of uphill work. Tin, Phltadelpblans want Mr. Ssnsenderter te be one of the convention secretaries, and are confident that Mr. Patterson will repre sent Pennsylvania en tbe committee te netily the nemniees. The Democratic Cleba, The National League of Democratic clubs is well represented, with headquarters at tbe Lae(ede hotel. The Yeung Men'a Domecratio club of New Yerk city sent en a special delegation, consisting or Edward H. Wbltney, Rebert Menree and F. Curtis te represent the National League. The League clubs,' as previously announced In the San, will meet In Baltimore en July 4. Every state and territory In tbe country will be represented. The polltlc'aes sre taking sn active Interest In tbe matter, and expect the young men, who principally comprise tbe National League of Democratic club, te de very tiucieni wurt uuring ine oeming campaign. A circular, setting forth tbe general plan el work proposed te be ac complished by tbe league, baa been dis tributed among the varleun delegations new therr, and reiimllteea represents g the lesgue have been appointed te ap pear before each delegation and present tbe plan of organization proposed by the league. Mr. Rebert Drain, oneet tbe Mary land delegates and secretary ct tbe league eummlttee at Baltimore, baa been appoint ed te appear before the executlve commit tee of tbe national Democratic committee te-morrow, and ask the oe operation or tbat body. Tbe lesgue clrculsr says : "The league Is new rspldly Increasing In Its membership, snd will held its first convention at Baltimore en the fourth day of July next. It will then complete Its organlzitlen, and enter at one upsn tbe campaign. Its members by united effort will set with the clearest Intelligence and least waste of force. They will distribute documents, bold public meetings, canvass tbe votes, help man the polls and in every legitimate way work for victory. While they will be lu harmony with tbe regular party organization, still they will work In dependently, bringing Inte tbe campaign an element of active, Intelligent and prac tical men who never have Joined In organ ized political work before. The league's convention en the Fourth of July next will be the grandest opening tbat any presiden tial campaign ever yet baa had. Delegates srealrtaiy being elected from every por tion et tbe unler." WILL IT UK TIIDKMANT The Ohie Dtlrgatien Hut its Cuanlmeualy ler Htm, St. Leuis, June 4, All Interest centres this morning en tbe action te be taken by tbe Ohie delegation In reference te vlee presidential preferences. It was given out last nl&ht tbat unless tbe delegation decided te give a solid support te Judge Thurman before neon te-dsy, bis nsme would be withdrawn. Bat alter this rumor bad gained gained circulation, tbe dele gates decided net te meet until 2 p. m,, when It will finally decide npen tbe man. Indications are net favorable te the en dorsement or Thurman by the delegation. Ex Governer Bishop, who Is olese te the Indiana Gray contingent, says: "The principal opposition I offer te Thurman Is one el policy, We cannot hope te carry Ohie, while Indiana la the battle-ground and It seems te ue we abeuld place our forces where they can de tbe most geed." Corener Messemer, the Tammany repre repre aentatlveef the Yeung Men's Demoeratlo club, aays that bis organization Is solid for Thurman, first, lsst and all the time. The aame msy be said of the County Democracy wltb possibly two exceptions, which gives Thurman at this writing 03 out of tbe 70 New Yerk votes. There are two dissenting votes In the Georgia delega tien, and aa ths unit rule does apply la their case, it Ii barely net possible tbst the antl-Thurmanlt.ee will bold out, although every effort la being made te bring them Inte Una, Tbe Wis oeasla delegation Is solid for Thur man with eae exosptlen, and tbe chances are that before eight It will be a unit. , Tbe Pennsylvania delegation la bow In session and la the opinion otene of ths leaders they will fix op the committee elate and defer acties ea the vles presidency till later la the day. It baa been decided that the delega. tlen will nnlte en every question wblei may be passed by a two-thirds ma jority. This deoUlen la construed te mesa tbst unless s break oecurs Thnrmsa will receive tbe support of Ojs delegation. Senater Beck In conversation with a re porter of tbe United Psess this morning said he had nothing te add te his opinion et last night, tbat everything was running for Thurman aa rapidly ss possible, sad while he esme here la favor of Stevenson for second place, he of oeuree oeuld net con sider any ether name as against the Old Reman or Ohie. Congressman Soett bas net wavered In tbe least trem his opinion of yesterday and considers lbs tastier settled for Thurman.
