WASHINGTON , D. C. , June Ifi. f
ThoboomforColouelW.il. Morrison of
Illinois for first place on tbo democratic-
tlckot has developed remarkable strength
wllhln the last few days , nnd it U now really
ibo most prominent of any of ibo so-called
booms which have boon noticed nt Iho im-
lionnl capital , with the single exception of
that for Mr. Cleveland ,
Mr. Morrison Is now the second choice of
most of the men in Washington who
are primarily for Cleveland , If it can bo
shown conclusively that it would not bo bad
policy to nominate him. This situation has
been brought about by the clover
work of Messrs. Forman , Fithlan ,
Scott nnd olhor "Egypilanltos , " nud
by the natural nfllnltlos cxlstlncr between
Messrs. Morrison and Cleveland in the minds
of many politicians horo. Mr. Morrison has
usurped Iho placu'which was until recently
occupied by Governor Gray of Indiana , and
Ihcro nro not a tew men to bo found In
Washington now who look upon "Horizon
tal" Bill ns iho coming man.
Colonel Morrison was himself at Ihocapl-
tel today , assiduously trying lo spread llils
ballot lo pul his boom on n moro subslanllul
foundation. Ho had a long conference wilh
ibo members of tba Illinois delegation , but
not ono of Ihcni would riivulgo what was the
purport of their lalk. Mr. Morrison lalcr In
Iho afternoon visited tbo sonata chamber ,
nnd Ihcro hold an earnest conversation with
the democratic senators , and it is very evi
dent this ovoninc lhat the author oC horizon
tal tariff reform has his lightning rod olo-
vatcd.
Cleveland' * I'orcen Organised.
Although there is much talk of other can
didates for iho nomination of the Chicago
convention Ihoro is no mistaking the fact
Ibat two-thirds or more of Iho politicians In
Washington are confident ir tbo belief that
ex-President Cleveland vlll carry off the
prize easily. Pretty much tbo same thing is
expected to nccur ut Chicago us was
witnessed last week at Minneapolis , and
most people hero nro looking for Mr. Clove-
land's nomination on the first ballot. This
conclusion ha ? boon reached after consul
tation between the brightest politicians on
the democratic stdo of ibo upper house , and
is duo lo the fact that Cleveland will bavo In
tbo Chicago convention a thoroughly organ
ized bodv ot friends.
At Chicago , as ut Minneapolis , organiza
tion Is oound to tell , nnd many of Iho democrats -
crats who are not enthusiastic Cleveland
men insist lhat Iho cx-prosldcni Is
Ibo only democrat who bus an
organization worthy of the narao. Of course
there will bo n great many votes cast for
"fuvorlto sons , " but tboso are in the main
nothing moro than complimentary and it is
believed that any attempt to center them on
uny other candidate than Cleveland would
necessarily bo a failure. Even earnest ad
herents of Hill admit that Cleveland has a
majority of the delegates but Iboy claim that
lie will find it next to Impossible to secure
the necessary two-thirds ; * Against this-it'ls
ogiccd lhat Iho majority candidate , with the
exception of Van Buren , has always suc
ceeded In gelling the nomination ,

Congressman Frederick Edward White of
iho Sixth Iowa district , and a now member ,
today created something of a sensation in
Iho bouso. During Iho discussion of Iho tin
bill ho made a speech as romarUablo for its
Btylo us for ils radicalism. Wilh
Ibo rough exterior of his calling ,
that of n farmer , nnd with a slight
Gorman accent denoting his foreign birth ,
he , wilhout a note , aud apparently with tbo
greatest case , struck straight to the heart of
his subject. When Mr. White arose bo
shaiPd Ibo fate of now members and re
ceived but scant attention , but bo
bad not proceeded far before an
nudlcnco began to 'gather , and soon
ho bad caught every oar in the houso. The
clearness of his roasouln ? , its slrength and
the beauty of language and. the sincerity of
lilt * manner astonished and thrilled bis
audience of veteran speakers , and wnon after
spcaUlng perhaps half an hour ho attempted
10 slop u chorus of voices cried : "Go on , go
on. "
Ho held his audience , republican and
democrat allko , lor an hour and a half , aud
when ho at length sat down every man in
the bouso crowded up to shalco bands with
him. It was the unanimous expression thai
Mr. Whlto had made Iho strongest speech of
the session and bad at a bound established
himself as ono of tbo most brilliant cham
pions of the rapidly strengthening radical
wing of tha democralic party lu the house of
representatives.

' X Ex-Speaker Hood Is ono of the latest pil
, . grims to return from Minneapolis. Hn was
nslied soon after he reached thn capital to
tell what ho thought of ibo convention ,
"Aro you now&papor men absolutely
merciless ! " was his only reply.
Senator Pottiurew of South Dakota U ,
however , not adverse to expressing himself.
11 will bo remembered lhat ha was a Blame
man at Ibo convention at which all tbo six
South Dakota delegates voted for Mr. Har
rison.
"I do nol say , " said ho this evening , "that
U will bo impossible to ro-olectMr. Harrison ,
but I think it Is very doubtful. 1 think iho
country has reached thu staga where It docs

( our years the president's every act and
movement Is subject to iho closest scrutiny
nnd there nro bound to bo a number of dis

spent four hours today In a debate on the
silver bill , Mr. Morgan occupying about
three-fourths of that tlmo in nn cUjbornto
presentation of arguments In supnort of tbo
measure. His speech was not so directly
atmod , as some of his preceding speeches on
the same subject were , at supposed candi
dates for the presidential nomination. Mr.
Morgan did criticise , however , the sliver
plank in the Minneapolis convention as timid
and irresolute , wbllo ho cave It ibo
credit of being a stop to Iho front , and
n to Iho Chicago convonllon , Mr. Mor
gan said that democracy would bavo also lo
stop to the front and declare not only that
silver should bo equal with gold , but that it
should have the right of free coinage. And
ho Ihrealencd Ihat if such n declaration were
suppressed at any man's bidding that man
would be in turn suppressed ut the bidding
of thu pooplo.
In another part of his speech ho applied to
the presidential aspirants ( In addition to the

loirul tender nnd permits owners of silver or
gold bullion to have It minted for their bene
fit and without charge. Ho declined to an
swer the question whether If that , motion
was agreed to ho would vnto for Iho bill.
Mr. Stewart had something to say In sup
port of Iho bill. No action was taken on the
bill , and .Mr. Morrlll is lo address Iho scnato

their hands with the local democratic or
ganizations over the distribution of tickets
to the convention and the chief work of the
meeting of Friday night will bo to settle this
matter.
The national committee of the democratic
party has much less Important functions to
perform than the republican national com
mittee , so far as roipooU the organization of
the convention and for this reason is not so
essential a factor in tho-nrcsldcntlal tight.
Tbo temporary organization of tbo repub
lican national convention U quite a formal
affair , involving the grant by tbo com
mittee of prima fuclo title to scats.
The temporary organization of the demo
cratic convention is very informal in its
nature , and the national committee does not
undertake to pass upon the credentials of
contesting delegations , that home left to the
whole convention through its committee on
credentials.
T.ilkuil of fur Temporary Chairman.
The national committee has unpointed a
subcommittee , of which John C. liuskell of
Columbia , S. C. , Is chairman , to select n
temporary chairman , temporary secretary
and other subordinate ofllccrs for the con
vention. Tins report will bn presented to
tbo full committee , which meets Monday , for
approval , and with the adoption or rejection
of the sucgcstion of the national committee
to the convention of ofllcora for preliminary
oiganizati'jn will end , practically , tbo
political work of the committee. The con-
vonlion will then Itself dccido upon tbo
manner in which its affairs shall bo con
ducted , and will name tbo necessary com
mittees. Thus far the only names mentioned
around headquarters for temporary chair
man is thai of A. 10. Stevenson of
Illinois , and ex-Governor Campbell of Ohio ,
but Henry Wattorson of Kentucky has ooon
'
spoken of for tbo honor in the' press and
elsewhere. Until the arrival of delegates
and national commlttooniou , the field is wldo
open fur speculation.
The differences between the mode of organ
ization of the tivo conventions , it is said by
those democrats hero , will bo stilt further
emphasized by the course at individual mem
bers of the national committee , and tboso
and all other distinctions between tbo two
parties will ba brought out.
VUII I.L'iivu It all til tlio Delegates.
Mr. Sliorin , secretary of the national com
mittee , said that ho did not believe that any
mcmbors of the national com iiittuo would
outer actively In tbo nomination canvass und
endeavor by whatever influence they might
have to change the course of the convention ,
but would leave the delegates to dccido that
uitintlucncod.

Arrangements are being made for a dem

will opou the eyes of democrats from the
south and east who have heard of Iowa's
democratic governor in u desultory and cas

presidential nomination. A number of clubs
from all parts of Iowa will bo hero In

On behalf of Boles it is being urged that
ho has demonstrated his ability to carry
Iowa If nominated. Mr. Shavnrof Dubuque ,
speaking on this point , said : "Boles was
elected on the largest veto ever polled , not
excepting any presidential election. Tbora

Wliu SklriiiMird-lliiKe Crowd
Out to .Sco tlio 1'un ,
Biggest crowd over on the grounds.
That's what there was at Camp Brooke
yostcrdcy nfu-rnoon. A contorviittvo esti
mate would bo 29,1)00 ) people ; In f-\ct , that Is
the very lowest estimate , us the attendance
variously figured nt all the way up to 40,000.
The sham battle WM the great attraction ,
nnd although It was , tu many roipocts , iho
Ehamraost kind of a sham battle , It had
many deeply Interesting featuresnnd the
deficiencies were , to n great extent , OTCUS-
able , There was plenty of powoor burned ,
there was an abuudanco of nolso and
smoke. nnd what there was of
the battle was in the main satisfactory.
It was on what there wni not that all
kicks were based , but the association Is
hardly responsible for that , as there would
have boon more of the battle but for an un
expected circumstance. But more of that
anonl '
It Is no small matter to handle a
crowd of 20OOU people , but It was very satis
factorily accomplished , aud the disagreeable
feature yesterday were no nioro numerous
than must bo invariably oncountero.l on
such an occasion. If they wcro not there ,
the term "orowd11 would lose its significance ,
and this was a crowd and don't you forgot it.
Coming of the Crowd.
Up to noon the grounds were still com
paratively doiortod , but from that hour the
general aspect rapidly changed. Arrange
ments bad been made with the street railway
company for a two-mlnuto service on tbo
Sherman nvonuo line bctweon the center of
the city and the camp , and for two hours
oven that was insufficient to accoramodalo
the thousands who were headed for that
common destination. They were landed at
the gatoa about as fast ns they could pur
chase tickets and pass through tbo three
entrances near the southeast corner of
the grounds , but oven that would net have
done the business. Thousands wont over
the North Twenty-fourth street line , and
thousands moro passed throuch tbo south
gate In their carriages. There were sllll
olhcr thousands who got there somehow or
other , for not ti ono got away. They filled
the u-rand stand to overflowing , swarmed
over the race course , andjllued tbo quarter
strotch.
And still they came. The track was filled
with thonvnnd tbo quarter strelch crowd
continued to grow until it extended far be
yond the limits of the quarter and reached
entirely around the half milo track. It even
encroached on the parade ground nnd the
prospective battlefield , and Ihon Iho work of
the police began. Don't think fora miuuto
that they didn't have their bunds full.
Clearing the HUtlo Field.
Everybody bad p id money and wonted to
see all there was In see , und they objected to
being prossaJ pack in a hetoropo'noous mass
of gasping , panllng humanity. Knbody
blamed tnom for that , but It nas a manifest
necessity. They had to sro , butthey yUldcd
unwillingly , and it was a long , hard
task that tbo officers bad to accomplish.
It was finally necessary in ardor to com
pletely clear the space to call upon the com
panies that were already forming tbo line of
battle to assist In the operation , and ropes
were then iirotcbed to keep back the crowd
that was densely parked along tbo ontlro
south sldo of the battle field. All others
were driven back to tbo north sldo and the
lines wcro heavily patrolled.
The Chicago Zouavos gnvo a pretty exhibi
tion drill on tbo parade ground to interest Iho
vast crowd , while the preliminaries for tbo
battle were being arranged , nnd their be
wildering evolutions evoked storms of ap
plause.
Then came the double quick marching of
company after company , hurrying to tbo
place to which It had bocn assigned , and
the general stir that became noticeable
through all the vast throng : of onlookers In
dicated that the grand event was on.
It didn't ' como off exactly according to pro
gram , but there is nothing surprising in
that. According to the sacred historian ,
"There's many a lip 'twtxt the cup and the
rest ot tbo dinner set , " and this case < vas uo
exception to tbo general rule.
Finn of the lititlln.
Captain Richards "had called alt tbo cap
tains of companies together at noon and ox-
ulalncd to them his plans for the reproduc
tion ot the famous buttlo of Marathon.
The companies representing the Crooks were
to form across the east end of the grounds
with strong llanlcs and a weak cantor , so as
to exlond t'ucir line and protect tbelr Hanks
frum Persian cavalrv. At the west end of
the grounds the Persians were to form with
a strong" center and weak fiaaks , and make
their coup do main on tbo center as was
tl'oir custom.
The attack was to bo opened by arllHory ,
and then tbo skirmish lines wore to grad
ually advance to vlthin ( Hty yards of each
other , when tbo Persian charge -vas to bo
made , breaking through tbo Greek center.
The Halo Xouuvos were to scale the east
fcnco and attack tbo Pcralan loft , the Per
sians to bo defeated on the Hanks by
the U reeks , who , holding their men
well la hand , were to make a complete inner
wheel , closing up iho broken part of their
line , and lire into tbo roar of the Persians ,
thus routing them and winning the battlo.
Commander Klchards took his captains
over tbo Mold , explained the format Iocs and
movements lu detail.
Troop * la I.lne.
Tha Greek line of battle , ni formed In ac
cordance with this plan , was us follows ;
Branch Guards , Captain Sinclair , front Hue ,
right Hunk , supported by Iho Fletcher
Itillas ; center , Governor's Guard ; loft Hank ,
front line , McCarthy Light Guards , sup
ported by the Lima City Guards.
The right of tbo Pomlan line was hold by
the Delvln Cadets ; loft. University Cadets ;
center of front line , Belknap Hltlea supported
by tbo National Fenclbles. The Scaly Hides
furnuhod thu skirmish line for the Persian
and ono platoon of tbo Fletchers and ono of
the Lima Cltys were detailed for the Greek
sklrmlkbors.
The artillery was stationed on tba north
sldo of thu battle Hold , und the batteries In
cluded field pieces and maublno guns.
Colonel Wuldron of Fort Smith , adjutant
general of tbo Arkansas National guard ,
wits given command of the Greeks , und
Colonel Mount of the Third Haglmant , Iowa
National guard , commanded the Persians ,
Thus fur tbo original plan was followed ,
but no farther. As to tbo why or wuoroforo
aoponont layoth not : that Is the fact.
Fought tu u I'lnlitli ,
The battle was engineered from that point
Just as tbo individual captains aw fit. They
did not wall for iho artillery to open tbo
conflict , for tbo Irrepressible Greek skirmish
ers were \oo \ nuxlous to begin the carnuge.
They cut loose wtillo their battery was
being wheeled to a moro commanding posi
tion , and they advanced their own position
at too ralo ot a mile a imnuto or less. Tholi
work might bayo been u conoct Imitation o
skirmishing on * tbo original Hold of Mar

modern arms , but , U wouldn't do under
the regulations of the present , day
H smacked moro of a general engagement
and was not in It besldo the skirmish firing
ot the Kealyi , who wcro doing iho advance
work for the subjects of the shah.

allied it so far ns Marathon was concerned ,
or affairs bccamo decidedly Omahan at onco.
lot words followed , and iho outlook for
rouble could not have bean brighter. Heady
lartlsnns were there to toke up iho fray , nnd
ho officers ot the two companies had some
ilfllculty m gelling Iholr men to "about
nee" and march a\vi y. Orders were forci-
ily roltoratod several limes before
hey were oboynd , but Iho forces
vero finally soparaicd , and the
lircct participant ) were gradually nnd
orcibly crowded apart nnd each rejoined his
company , tenderly caressing nonsillve spols
and carofullv wiping nwnv imaginary gore.
Commandant lilchards hastened ncros-i
bo field , waving bnci : the erstwhile contend-
ng armies nnd Marathon's great grand
daughter dropped Into history.
Tbo original Intention bad been lo exlond
ho battle for nt least twice the tlmo of Its
actual duration , and Us brevity caused some
llssatlsfactlon among the spectator.- * , who
mdcxpoRtod lo see several tilings that did
lot pan out on the program as expected.
They had expected to si-o the
; onorals mounted and accompanied
> y their respective stall's ; they had aullcl-
latod beholding irallanl orderlies dashing
illhcr and thither across the field ; and had
rather expected to sec redoubts stormed and
olors captured. The original Marathon
lad no redoubts or stands of colors , nnd In
bis respect , at least , the ropraduc-
lon was a correct ono , much to
ho disappointment of the spectators , who
vould gladly have witnessed a lllllo varia
tion from the original In this respect.
Tbo companies at once withdraw from Iho
lok' ' , and were followed lo their quarters In
bo camp proper by thousands of sightseers ,
vbo for hours wandered up nnd down
hrough Iho various company slrcols making
bomsclvos familiar with a soldier's llfo in
camp.
Drills mid Drcng ranule.
Exhibition drills were subsequently given
> y different companies of iho various
iranchos , and iho crowd had something to
ook at continuously until almost ( > :45 :
o'clock , at which hour there wus dross
inrado , participated in by all the companies
n ibo camp , alllrod in their richest uni
forms.
All in all It was a great day , a great crowd
and n eroat exhibition. Active work \vas
shown in all branches of Iho military repre
sented , oven lo the slgnul corps ot Iho Cin
cinnati batlory , which was Dusy not only
during the fight , but during much of Ihe
aflernoon.
It was a crowd that probably will not bo
duplicated In a long time , certainly not
during tbo drill although there will ho an in
creased attendance during Iho remaining
ivo days. There was no rompolltivo
drilling yeslerday , but tbn prize
contents will bo resumed today ,
and tbo interest awakened in Ibo respective
companies will lesson space In Ibo grand
stand.
Addltlonn' prizes have Just boon offered , to
bo awarded by popular voto. Among thorn
are a sword for tbo most popular officer , a
lag for the most popular company , and cupi ,
medals , etc. , in bewildering numbers. In
I'iow of the awakening interest , the prospect
for the outcome is encouraging , and the indi
cations are that the cnliro association will
move in ns soon ns Iho Soaly.i vacate Iholr
