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.

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."

BOOMS FADING AWAY.

Race Gray, Palmer. Morrison and
Others Placed on the Shelf Cleveland's

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

Senator Gorman said to-night: "I am not

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

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

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.
CALIFOBNIA JOINS THE MAJ0EITY.
If Anything; XInppens to Grover She Will
Switch to Whitney.
Chicago, June 2a California will vote
as a unit it was so decided at a caucus held
to-day. A. B. Butler, Permanent Chair
man of the delegation, said: "We are un
der unit rule, and will vote for Mr. Cleve
land on the first ballot"
"II anything should happen to prevent
MY. Cleveland's nomination the delegates
from California have resolved to switch
tneir strength to William C. 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."
Gny Will bo Voted for Anyhow.
Indianapolis, June 20. When Gover
nor Gray was notified this afternoon that
the Indiana delegation had decided not to
present his name to the convention, he said
he was.not surprised. He said he had ex
pected that such would be the decision,
"but," he added, " will be voted lor any-
how."

According to the Latest Fignre3 Ee

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
