The Democratic Presidental ticket for 3S'J2 will be Cleveland and Gray. At least, such is the general impression of leading men of all factions in Chicago this morning. The programme, as generally under stood around the Gleveland headquarters, Is that ex-Governor Campbell, of Ohio, would be the Permanent Chairman of the convention, and that no fight would be made in the covention over the temporary chairmanship. Governor Abbett, it is be lieved, is slated to make the nominating peeck fur Cleveland. The above result is said to have been brought about by the enforcement of the unit rale in the great States of Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Missouri. The Cleveland victory is in a large meas ure due to the firm stand taken on behalf of the ex-President by Senator Palmer, of Illinois, ex-Governor Campbell, of Ohio, u.id Editor Morss, of Indianapolis. CLEVELAND WITHOUT DOUBT. AH the Drift Toward the Blan Whose Own State Isn't for Him Orer COO Totes Conntcd by 3Ir. Harrity The domina tion by Acclamation Predicted. FBOII A ETAFr COKHESTOXDENT.I Chicago, June 2L 1 a. pi. In the early morning hours of the first day of the convention the drift appears to be all to ward the candidate who has not got a vote from his own State. There is a sullen ex pression on the countenances of those in the inner lair of the tiger, though the Hill boomers in the corridors and on the streets are still howling for their favorite with un abated vigor. The last manifesto of Tammany's leaders has apparently had no more effect than those that went before. A tall, lank dele gate from Tennessee told a Hill man: "In Tennessee we always make it a point to find out what you people want, and then go the other -nay." At It ork While the Boys Played. While the streets are filled with hundreds of bands and thousands of boomers cheering for Cleveland, Hill and Boies, and vainly imagining they were advancing the chances of their respective favorites, the managers of the cx-Prcsident's canvass had a final conference at the Richelieu. At the close of the meeting Mr. Harrity said to TllE Dispatch: "We have received reDorts from every State, and bed-rock figures show Cleveland lias COl votes, under any and all contin gencies. This assures his nomination , on the first ballot, but it is likely to be made by acclamation before the call of the States is over. It has been decided by Cleveland's friends to make no opposition to the elec tion of Owens as temporary chairman, and that gentleman will preside over the first session of the convention." Campbell II a Ills Choice Ex-Governor Campbell has been offered by the Cleveland managers his choice of presenting the ex-President's name to the convention or acting as permanent Chair man oi that body. It is probable that he will elect to take the latter honor. The West Virginia delegation has chosen Senator Camden as Chairman, Captain John Sheridan as Rational Commit teeman, and James B. Taney as mem ber of the Committee on Resolutions, 'o poll was taken for delegates, but the expression from the various members was also lncndly to Cleveland, uith one excep tion, and he was not a radical. Bourke Cochran and another Tammany emissary ad dressed the West Virginians, and two ot the anti-snappers replied in behalf of Cleve land. Neither set of orators changed many votes. At an early hour thi morning the Ohio delegation is still in session, and still very niuch divided. Senator Brice tells The Dispatch that the Buckeye delegates are 32 to 14 against Cleveland. Campbell places Grover's strength at 18, and thinks he is likely to get more before the balloting begins. Allen W. Thurman, Carlisle and others who were not chosen as delegates, are clinging with those who were in the in terest ol Grover. GoimanV Vote to bo Scattered. The Maryland delegation, it,is announced to-night, will vote as a unit for Cleveland on the first ballot This announcement, though, is made with a mental reservation, J and the i,ieeiana managers are not depend ing too much on Maryland. The indica tions are, however, that Gorman's name will not be formally presented, but that he will receive scattering votes in the Southern and silver States, with probably a few irom Ohio. There is one Buckeye man, too, who talks of voting for Pattison. I The crowd here far outnumbers that at the enthusiasm of the is not nearly so pro- nonnced as vet. There is none1 of that ecstatic admiration for a leader which prompted the Republican boomers to shout for hours continuously for their favorite. The tune on all sides is mainly devoted to shrieking out: "Cleveland can't carry New York. " The opposition howlers retort with: "If Cleveland can't carry New York, no Democrat can." Congressman Beltzhoover Is even more sanguine than Secretary Harrity. He bays: "Cleveland will get a round 700 votes on the first ballot There is not a shadow of doubtabout his nomination." Bancroft. BOOMS FADING AWAY. Several Favorite Sons Already Out of the Race Gray, Palmer. Morrison and Others Placed on the Shelf Cleveland's Old Cablnet'Hard at Work for Their Tormer Chier. FROM A STAFT COWIESPOXDEXT. Chicago, June 10. There are fewer candidates for the Democratic Presidental nomination than 24 hours ago. The boom of ex-Governor Gray, of Indiana, has faded away. At a meeting of the Hoosier delega tion, this evening, it was decided to have a unanimous vote ior Cleveland on the first ballot This action was speedily duplicated by the Illinois delegation, thus retiring Morrison and Palmer, though these two statesmen have not been considered actual candidates, and the Senator came from Washington to see that the State went solidly for Grover. . Thesedevelopments caused increased confi dence around the Cleveland headquarters, and predictions of the early success of the ex President were freely made. Mr. Whitney taid in a most emphatic manner: "Cleve land will be nominated before the roll call of the States is completed on the, first ballot I desire to be put on record as hav ing made this statement" Two Ballots Considered Enongh. Some of the more conservative managers of the only genuine free trade boom post pone the time for their heavy-weight favor ite's triumph until the second ballot They argue that the favorite sons will receive a number of complimentary votes on the first ballot, which will then swing to the leader and decide the struggle. On the other hand, a favorite utterance around the lair of the Tammany tiger is, "If Cleveland is not nominated on the first ballot, he never will be." All ofTam many's strong-lunged emissaries have been laboring zealously since early morn. Ac cording to Lieutenant Governor Slieehan the work to-day. like that of preceding days, was to get votes for Mr. Hill or for favorite sons who will draw from Mr. Cleveland's strength. "And it is simply an alleged strength," said Mr. Murphy. "Mr. Cleve land has not over 400 votes at the outside. What are our figures? Well, we will dis play them on the first ballot" "Has New York made, or is it contem plating a deal, with Mr. Gorman's sup port?" "No, we are for Mr. HilL Of course we are doing our best to get doubtful States in our column, but we shall make no deal that will mean the withdrawal of Senator HilL" One of lb-! Harmony Stories. This is the tenor of the open statements from the Tammany headquarters, but there are many contrary reports in circulation., One which gained wide circulation was to the effect that Croker, Murphy and Sheehan had rent a confidential messenger to Whit ney with the proposition that if the Cleve land managers would consent to its terms the following compromise could be made: Cleveland not to have two thirds on the first ballot, so as to delay his nomination; all opposition to unite on Hill, and sufficient Cleveland votes to go to him to prevent Cleveland's nomination on the first vote; then Hill and Tammany to go over to Cleveland, and lead all the other opposing delegations in a grand stampede to make the nomination of Cleveland so enipkatic and unanimous that the New York factions would be welded' together for the whole ticket Under the arrangement the anti-Tammany organiza tion in .New York to disband and submit to the rule of Tammany in local politics. According to the story the Cleveland managers took the alleged proposition un der consideration, but no agreement has yet been reached. None of these prominent persons mentioned in connection with the report would either confirm or deny it. The First Anti-Cleveland Victory. . The opponents of Cleveland secured a victory in .tne Central Committee, when Congressman Owens was selected, by a vote of 28 to 20, a3 Temporary Chairman. Owens iays that lie is not unfavorable to Grover, but the fact that Patterson selected him is regarded as more than suspicious. AY. L. Wilson, of West Virginia, was the candi date of the radical Cleveland members ot the committee, and notice was given that a minority report in his favor might be pre sented to 'the convention to-morrow. This would insure a fight as soon as the body is called to order. The Cleveland mana gers will hold another conference on the Minneapolis, but rival candidates subject, and will probably decide to agree to the choice of Owens as presiding' officer. Iowa continues to be aggressive in the ad vocacy of Boies. Some enthusiasm was aroused in the Hawkeye camp when a del egation from South Carolina entered and announced that 13 of the votes of that State would be cast for Iowa's Governor. The South Carolina representatives are all Farmers' Alliance men, and all but one against Cleveland from the start. Even Iowa May Go to Cleveland. Hon. John P. Duncombe, who will pre sent Boies' name to the convention, said to The Dispatch to-night: "We do not allow that Cleveland has the nomination in his hand. There is nobody whom we fear but him, and if we had not a candidate within the borders oi our own State we should be on his side. As it is, we are for Boies while there is a chance to nominate him, and should our efforts fail we will throw our votes to Cleveland. Out side of Cleveland there is nobody so worthy of the nomination as Boies, but as we are Iowans, we turn things round and place Boies first With Boies the Democratic party could win. It could carry New York. It could carry Iowa, that vast agricultural area, which it is needful to retain now that it is ours. No matter what luck attends our candidate, he will not be lost to us, ior we have another sphere of usefulness for him when his term as Governor expires. We want him in the National Senate. Onr laws are in bad shape, and he is the man to repeal them." "It is said,that he wants to effect a com bination with the Massachusetts delegation, whereby the ticket will be Boies and Rus sell. How about this?" "Haven't heard anvthing abont it Any sound Easterner would be agreeable to us if THE SCENE OUTSIDE THE WIGWAM IN CHICAGO. Boies is nominated. We are not making any dickers, but are working to an end, and that is the nomination of our nian. But you cau depend on one "thing, and that it is first place or nothing for us. If the Presi dental nomination goes to the West, then second place on the ticket belongs to the East, such a man as New York might name for example. If it goes to the East but that is too dismal a subject to discuss." Iowa expects to poll 75 votes on the first ballot. Great stress is laid on the fact that this is the only State which has a candidate who can count on the solid support of its delegation, from first to last, while there is any hope at" nominating. Iowa's 2(5 votes will be cast full and free and clear and strong for Boies, when its name is called. Cleveland's Cabinet All at Work. No less than five members of the ex President's Cabinet are now exerting what power they may have to compass their former chiefs renomination. These are Thomas F. Bayard, his Secretary of State; Charles S. Fairchild, Secretary of the Treasury; Don M. Dickinson, his Postmas ter General; W. F. Vilas, who was also Postmaster General, and William C. Whit ney, Secretary of the Navy. All of these gentlemen are proclaiming that on Mr. Cleveland's nomination depends the salva tion of the Democratic party. They praise unqualifiedly his administration, part of which they were. They assert that his con duct of national affairs, should he be nomi nated and elected, will be quite as good as that which closed four years ago. Hearing this the gentlemen who advised Mr. Hill's nomination suggest, sarcasti cally, that perhaps the hopeful view of an other Cleveland term may be based on the belief that portfolios await the five states men now working so energetically for him. The faction opposed to Mr. Cleveland is not overlooking this condition of affairs. Al ready they are making allusions, not always complimentary, to the ex-Cabinet offi cers who are here in Mr. Cleve land's behalf. They point also to many others of Mr. Cleveland's ex-appointees, who are ardent Cleveland men. Such supporters of the ex-President are said bv his opponents to be actuated by the peculfar quality of gratitude which has been defined as "a lively sense of favors to come." Cleveland and the Colored Man. There is one notable difference between this convention and that at Minneapolis, in the absence of colored delegates, and more than that, there are no indications that any are wanted. In fact, one of the arguments used by the anti-Cleveland people is that Grover should be turned down because he cave the colored brother too much recogni tion. Judge Cady Herrick was interrupted J to-day while he was mating an argument in favor of Grover to discuss tho race issue. "Is it true," asked a Mississippian, "that Mr. Cleveland invited Fred Douglass and his family to the President's wedding re ception?" This posed Judge Herrick, notwithstand ing his years of political work, and he shuddered a little, but the Southerners were obdurate, and demanded an answer. "I don't know," replied the speaker. "I'm not here to lie to you. and I sav frank ly that I think he did. Mr. Douglass was a Federal officeholder, and it was simply a 'matter of necessary -official courtesy to do so, anyway." "Bat Mr. Douglass had resigned at that time." persisted the objector. "Well, I don't know anything about it," answered Mr. Herrick, A Delegation Set In Its Ways. The Georgia delegation is very mnch set in its ways. It was 17 for Cleveland last week, and 9 for anybody to defeat Cleve land, and so it will be until the ballot shall have been taken. The efforts of the ex President's overseers, Whitney, Anderson and Dickinson, have resulted in nothing but sullen looks and defiant speeches from the ''anti-Nine." Hill Is more in favor than Gorman. "The situation to me," said Mr. Fitts, "is simple. Seventeen men will vote for Cleveland nntil the Savannah river freezes, If necessary, while the other nine will fluctuate between Hill, Gorman or PrTTSBUBG, TUESDAY. JUNE Poles, if Cleveland does not gejiton one ballot" Senator Gorman said to-night: "I am not a candidate." But this phrase has been so variously construed that 1( requires a dia gram. This the Maryland Senator posi tively refuses to give, and his closest asso ciates absolutely refuse to say whether or not his name will be presented to the con vention. Brice, Watterson and tne Tammany leaders have been laboring with Gorman to enter the Presidental field, while "Whitney, Dickinson and associates have been invit ing him to get on board the band wagon. Both sides claim to have received assur ances that the astute Marylander is with them at heart But his game of watching and waiting cannot be played mnch longer now. " Bancroft. HILL MEN DESPONDENT. ' They Claim There Bus Been No Anti-Cleveland Organization at All. Chicago, June 20. The effort to break the backbone of the Cleveland movement by removing some of its verteba; in the South and transferring them to the oppo sition has met with poor success, and the strongest 'of the anti-Cleveland Southern leaders now practically concede its failure, and it is now admitted by them that Mr. Cleveland's renomination on the first ballot is a strong probability. Even the Hill people, in part at least, are now ready to admit their defeat, and in doing so they give all the credit to the treneralship of Whitney. They com plain at the same time that there was no 1 leader of the anti-Cleveland forces, and in fact no organization outside of New York. There had been attempts to concentrate on Senator Gorman, and conferences had been held with that purpose in view as late as this morning, but without result TAMMANY TALKS BACK.

State After State Sticks by the Unit Rule, and Nearly Ml DECIDE TO TOTE FOE TEE EX-PRESIDENT IrnOM A STAFF COriKESPONDEirr.J Chicago, June 20. Mr. Harrity's power over the Pennsylvania delegation to the National Convention is supreme beyond qnestion. Even the affection the Pennsyl vanians hold for Governor Pattison was not strong enough to break Harrity's hold, and at a meeting of the delegation, held this morning almost before it was clear day light. Attorney General Hensel, who is here as Mr. Harrity's right-hand man, was authorized to cast the Ot votes from the Keystone State for Grover Cleveland nntil Cleveland wins, is withdrawn, or until the delegation is otherwise instructed. The Pennsylvania delegates met at 8 o'clock this morning. The call had been issued for that hour, but it was then gener ally supposed that but a limited number of the delegation would attend, but 60 out of the 64 delegates responded to the roll calL State Chairman Wright, who stopped here on his way back from the Republican con vention at Minneapolis, called the meeting to order. In his own peculiar and fascinat ing way, he explained the object of the gathering. Hensel and Ills Utile Bolt. W. U. Hensel was chosen Chairman of the. delegation, and he immediately assumed the place in which Chairman Wright had been nervously wriggling. Mr. Hensel, of course, made a speech. If he is anything outside of good looking he is a good talker, and he enjoys the confidence that every body who knows him is willing to give him an audience. He can make just as good a speech now as he could when he was State Chairman, eight years ago, when Governor Pattison, for the first time candidate, was ungenerous enough to charge that Mr. Hen sel was spending the bulk of the campaign iunus in niring a special tram ana travel ing over the State just to hear himself talk. Mr. Hensel and the Governor were not good friends for several years after that rather sarcastic remark was made, and Mr. Hensel led the opposition to the Gov ernor at his last nomination convention. After the convention he went to Philadel phia to arrange a bolt against the ticket W. J. Brennen, of Pittsburg, and other anti-Pattison men were in the bolt, while it lasted,, but' unhappily for tb.eruaH it only lasted until the peace-maker and place-dig-tributor got as far as Mr. Hensel. Then the other bolters fell into line as allgoodDemo crats do. Harrity Stays on the Committer. Judge Haggerman; of Berks county, was named by his associates to represent the Pennsylvania delegation as one of the Vice .Presidents of the convention. George S. Fleming, of Pittsburg, was selected as one of the National Convention secretaries, and Mr. Harrity was elected to fill the late William L. Scott's place on the National Committee. This was the place wanted by J. M. Gufley, and it was about this place that the Democratic party of Pennsylvania was broken up into snarling factions which certainly "prevented Governor Pattison's name from going before the National Con vention, and which almost as certainly pre vented the handsome young Governor from being the candidate of his party for Presi dent "I think Governor Pattison should be our candidate," Senator George Eoss, of Bucks county, said to-night "The opposi tion to Cleveland would be delighted to unite on Pattison, and really I look unon our Governor as the strongest candidate that could be named. He is clean, polit ically and morally, and if the nomination had Been given to him the whole party in the whole country could have turned in together to elect him. Neither faction in New York would have an excuse for sulk ing. He could carry the Empire State, and under all the circumstances I question if Governor Pattison could not have carried the great Eepublican State of Pennsylvania. A l'ecnllar Deal With Quay. "Of course, that looks like a careless statement," Senator Eoss went on, "but I am in dead earnest You know it was to Pattison that CI L. Magee and other Re publicans of his kind turned when Senator Quay worsted them in Pennsylvania poli tics, and now that Senator Quay has Seen worsted by the Magee crowd, it is not only politics, but human nature, for Senator Quay to turn to Pattison if he had been the Presidental candidate, just to undo those who have so recently undone him. Senator Quay knows politics. It is his personal, Erivate and professional business, but he as just now reached the threatening point where he must do something in his own de fense. He is unconditionally a candidate for re-election to the United States Senate. "Had it not been for Quay, President Harrison would have had no opposition for renomination. He would have been made the candidate of tbe'Minneapolis Conven tion by acclamation, but Quay made a bitter, a determined, but an unsuccessful fight against the President Mr. Harrison is to be either elected or defeated in November, ana senator yuay s ngnt does not wme on until after-the meeting of the State Legis lature, abont two months later. M. S. Quay would ratner, l thine;, he senator with a Democratic President than have a Re publican President and lose his own political place. A Brilliant Oportnnlty tost. "Harrison is opposed to Quay, and Quay knows-it, and if Mr. Quay allows Harrison to be re-elected the President will beyond question use the Federal patronage in Pennsylvania not only to defeat Quay, but to elect Dalzell or Magee, who stood by him in his recent battle against theBeaver statesman. Mr. Quay will not stand by tratching his enemies dig his political grave without some word of protest, and for that reason I believe Governor Pattison could have carried Pennsylvania, had he been our candidate. Of course, the State cannot be thrown to Cleveland or any other Democratic outsider. I believe a new era in politics would have followed Pattison's nomination for President, because I think the national leaders In the Eepnblican party are indulg ing in a bitter war that would stand to our advantage for 20 years, if we could just at this time name a candidate who would have healed all the ugly differences in our own party. Pattison is the man for that pur pose." But there Is hardly a remote possibility of Governor Pattison's name going before the convention. Mr. Harritv, acting for tuts jjemucrais oi 111s obate, iiau saiu mac i uieveiana is tne only man that can be elected, and this morning Mr. Harrity pre-J pared the resolution which was adopted at the meeting of the State delegates, and which instructs Chairman Hensel to vote the solid delegation for Cleveland until otherwise ordered. The Test Vote on an Amendment Senator Grant Herring presented the resolution, and J. F. Launahan, of Luzerne county, moved to amend the resolution and insert the name of Robert E. Pattison in stead of Grover Cleveland, but the amend ment was defeated by a vote of 00 to 3. Senator Wallace declined to vote, J-M. Gufley voted against the amendment, and Messrs. Collins, Lannahan and Smatter voted for the amendment. Mr. Harrity then made a short speech, in which he pledged to work enthusiastically for the Democratic ticket, and in which he argued that Governor Pattison did not want to be President, especially when he wanted another gentleman as the candidate. John Sullivan, the robnst Democrat of Allegheny, was then chosen Assistant Sergeant at Arms of the delegation. For this place a livelv fight has been made. O'Leary wanted the position, but it was given to Sullivan as a reward, it is alleged, for his losing his license recently, through some peculiar and mysterious political work he did for the Harrity people in the spring primaries. There is a strong effort being made now to save Mr. O'Leary's wounds by making him Assistant Sergeant at Arms for the delegates at large. The Pittsburg peo ple here are anxious to haye.Timdthy ap pointed, and to have him assigned to a con venient door where they will be,sre of ad mittance. Wallace's Scheme Abandoned. After the meeting of the Pennsylvania delegation adjourned, Senator Wallace and his anti-Cleveland associates held a confer ence and decided to abandon their efforts to have the National Convention break the unit rule in their, delegation. The argu ment so skilfully prepared and which was to have been made by Chairman Brennen will never be honored. In fact, if died a-borning. Senator Wallace would give no reason ior abandoning his scheme. It is believed, however, that he found some diffi culty in persuading the Pennsylvania fel lows to join with him and the Tammany Indians in their war on' Cleveland not that the Pennsylvania people are overflowing with affection for the apostle of tariff re form, but because the Democrats do not like Tammany or Tammany methods. The Tammany Democrats, after all is said and done, are peculiar animals. They have been active and dangerous in politics since 1805, when Aaron Burr dragged them from the benevolent purpose for which they had been chartered by the New York Legislature into politics to beat Thomas Jefferson. They have been in poli tics ever since, and they have been beating candidates regularly ever since, whether they were for or against such candidates. 'Tammany's Money Worth Having. But Tammany is the largest, richest -and most powerful "organization ever known in the world s history. It embraces several hnndred thousand voters, and it obevs its boss with childish confidence and respect The appointments it has received in New York City and New York State, through its own efforts and the hands of Governor Hill, net annually in salaries about 512,000,000. Each of these appointments or places pays into the campaign fund in national con tests 10 per cent of their annual salary, which would certainly make a handsome fund to open a campaign with. But unless Gorman can at the'last moment be dragged into the field, Tammany is not likely to make its hsual political assessment this year, and Grover Cleveland will have to look to the would-be officeholders for what boodle he will need this fall. Herbert. GROVER IN ONE BALLOT Is the Way a Southerner S'zes It Up He Adds That a Wave oi Enthusiasm Will Sweep Cleveland Into the White House Again. Chicago, June 20. Delegate George W. Ochs, one of the editors of .he Chattanooga Times, on being approached by an Asso ciated Press representative and asked his opinion of the situation, stated unhesitat ingly that everything points unmistakably to the nomination of Grover Cleveland on the first ballot "Every attempt to disorganize the Cleve land forces during the day has entirely failed," continued Mr. Ochs, "and the argu ments of the anti-Cleveland men, instead of weakening the Cleveland delegate", have only served to strengthen their faith." The alleged reasons why Mr. Cleveland cannot carry New York are, in the opinion of Mr. Ochs, of the flimsiest character, and in every instance where the anti-Clcvd.uid New Yorkers asked the question direct, whether or not they will support the nom inee of the convention, thev declare most positively that they will do so with un swerving fidelity. This declaration is affirmed in the most emphatic terms by no lesser individuals than Governor Flower, Hon. Amos J. Cummings, General Slocuin and other conspicuous leaders of the Hill movement The delegate, continuing, said: "The support of Mr. Cleveland is not ot the ephemeral sort, but is a loyal devotion to one whom the great mass of the Demo cratic voters of the United States recognize pre-eminently to be the embodiment ot true Democracy, as interpreted and exempli fied by the Democratic statesmen of the present day." Confillldlmr. "Afr. Oeh said; "fJrnver Cleveland has so endeared himself bv his honesty and integrity to the American-peo-jL pie that, following his nomination, an over whelming wave of enthusiasm will sweep over the conservative, independent think ers of this land which will return him to the White House by one of the most mag nificent triumphs ever achieved by an American statesman." CLEVELAND AND GRAY Now Considered tho Logical Ticket Talk of a Deal Betwnen Whitney and Voorheen Bynam Won't Prevent the Ex-Governor's Nomination. Chicago, June 20. Now that Gray is out of the running for the first place upon the Democratic ticket, it seems to be gen erally conceded that he has become the strongest candidate in sight for the Vice Presidency. There is talk of a deal between Whitney and Voorhees which settles this problem, but the statement is strongly denied by both gentlemen. At a late hour Senator Voor hees said: "The situation has not changed, so far as I know, and while the Indiana delegation may very possibly vote as a unit, it remains to be seen just what they will do. Indiana ought to have the Presi dency; but if the Presidency goes to the East, then in all fairness and good politics Indiana should have the Vice Presidency." Jt is understood that a rather formidable movement has been begun in the Indiana delegation for Bynum for the Vice Presi dency, on acconnt of his labor record. Con gressman Bynum, who is in Chicago, does not encourage the movement aall, ana ne flatly said in the Indiana rooms, in the last hour: "The logical ticket is Cleveland and Gray. This use ot my name is all foolish ness, and is merely the result of some little differences of opinion we have been having in our State, and which some of onr friends have not forgotten. Cleveland and Gray can carry Indiana against the Republicans, without doubt" In the Iowa delegation the landslide toward Cleveland has been carefully marked and noted. Said Judge Spear, of Nebraska: "Iowa wants Boies and may get him. But if it doe3 not reach the first place it should by all meau3 have the second. If the Democracy wants the Northwest there is one man and only one who cau bring it in, and that is Boies. I don't think the party will be so foolish at to forget this fact Boies mnst be on the ticket somewhere first if we can put him there, second if we must be satisfied with the Vice Presidency." FLOWER NOT SANGUINE, Bat He Says the New Tork .Delegation Will Vote for Hill. Chicago, June 20. The Tammany chieftains were in close consultation during the' entire evening, and it was almost mid night when an Associated Press reporter was admitted to the temporary and well tiled quarters of Governor Flower at the Auditorium Hotel. The Governor was extremely averse to discussing the situation at all. "It should be enough," he said "to say that New York has seen no reason to change its original determination. Of coarse, I have heard all this Cleveland talk to-night, but you can say with absolutele certainty that the 72 -votes ot New York will go to Hill on the first ballot It makes absolutely no difference to us what any of the other States do. We are for Hill, and for nobody else." "Do you think you can nominate him, M. Flower?" "Well, I am not sanguino about it, under all circumstances. But that has nothing to do with the fact that we are lor mil, and that we will give him New York's vote. I do not think there is anything else to be told the Associated Press. There may be a great deal in this talk to-night, or there may be nothing in it It does not affect us, one way or.the other. Our people are here to vote for Hill, and for Hill they will voteJ' It has been determined by the supporters of Mr. Hill that Hon.-William a Dewitt, of Brooklyn, will place the name ot Hill in nomination before the convention.

Whitney, of New York, believing' that he is the man next to Cleveland who can carry the State of New York and the United States. We Californians are of the opinion that Gor man's chances are not so bright as they were Sunday, and we further believe tha't Mr. Hill's lriends will settle on Morrison."

All the Doubtful Elements Eliminated The Total for the Ex-President Set at 558 At Least 36 More Considered Probable Joiners of the Cleveland Column Notice Given to the Waver ing to Fall in Behind the Band Wagon Voorhees and Whitney Admit the Favored States to Be New York and Indiana. CmCAGO, June 20. An informal caucus of the Cleveland leaders was held at ex Secretary Whitney's rooms, this afternoon, in which, after a careful examination of all the figures, it wa3 announced that 656 of the delegates who will go into the convention to-morrow are undoubtedly for Cleveland, and that 36 more are probably for him, mak ing a total of 592 on the first ballot, or within seven of the nominating amount These figures were given to the Associated Press by a gentleman who has been present in all the Cleveland caucuses, and who him self enjoyed one of the best offices in the ex-President's gift The meetings at which Mr. Whitney has presided have been informal in their char acter, but to-day messengers were sent to the different delegations and invitations ex tended to a number of gentlemen who wers not delegates, but who were known to be in Dick GrokT and the Small Political Fly. Chicago for Cleveland, and the result was a gathering of about two dozen gentlemen in Mr. Whitney's rooms at the Richelieu. Mr. Whitney announced the result of the Cleve land poll, and explained that before the total of 556 had been reached every doubt ful element had been eliminated. r Not a Doubtful Man Counted. No man 'lad been counted who was not certainly a Cleveland delegate, and where any doubt whatever wa3 entertained the person was not counted. With this the 553 names were got together. A second list, consisting of names not Included in the first catalogue, was read, containing 36 names of gentlemen supposed to be for Cleveland, but not certainly polled. It was understood that these persons were to be seen during the evening by some of the gentlemen pres ent, and the list was divided up, so that each missionary would have his own work to do. Mr. Whitney announced that Cleveland was within seven of the necessary two-thirds to secure his nomination, and he called upon his friends to see to it that these seven were secured before the convention opened to-morrow. He was asked by one of the gentlemen present at the caucus whether it was true that Indiana had withdrawn liray. Mr. Whitney replied that he understood 'that Senator Voorhees had advised Govern or Gray not to permit his name to go be fore the convention for the Presidency, and while Governor Gray had not been heard from in reply to tho telegram, he was satis fied that his name would not be presented. Indiana Has to Be Recognized. He was asked whether any pledges had been made by Cleveland's friends to the Gray men, and hesaid that none had been made, although the logio of the situation would naturally bring the Vice Presidency to Indiana. Mr. Whitney was understood to say that Indiana proposed to give her full 30 votes to Cleveland, and that under the circumstances the fact should be recog nized. The Gorman matter was taken up, and one of the gentlemen present said he had assurances that Gorman 'was not a candidate from the Senator himself. "It is even said that Gorman is willing to nominate Cleve land, or to second his nomination. I under stand that Senator Gorman has said this to one of the members of the Nebraska dele gation, in which he can certainly have three or four votes, and I am told that he has advised his Nebraska friends'not to vote for him." "What did he say to you?" the inform ant was asked. Gorman's loyalty to Cleveland. "Nothing further than that yie talk about his candidacy was something with which ha had nothin g to do, and that when the time came for him to prove his loyalty to Grover Cleveland he would not be found wanting." Another of the officers under Cleveland had in his hand what he said was the anti Cleveland poll, as read to the silver meet ing at the Marquette Club this afternoon, which claimed 372 votes in the convention against Cleveland, if Gray and Gorman could be kept in the field. The fact that Indiana bad taken Gray out of the running took 17 votes away from this estimate, and if Gorman was not presented then about 31 votes more would have to be deducted from it It was stated that the South Carolina, Mississippi and Georgia delegations would certainly give anybody some votes against Cleveland, with the chances that they would go to Boies of Iowa, upon whom tho Bill men were trying to combine. Tammany to Be Let Down Easy. Senator Bayard, of Delaware, either In person or by representative, urged a policy of conciliation toward Hill and Tammany. Mr. Vilas, of Wisconsin, was also in favor of making the Hill men's surrender as easy to them as possible, granting every conces sion that would possibly be asked which did not affect the main question Cleve land.
