convention must undertake the work of form-

1 elements. In nome counties I ntn Informed
that now elements would scarcely co sufll-

"If Mr. Cleveland Is nominated ho would
not trust the Murphy or regular committee

the now elements taking hold. Tno prln.o

but bo f corns to cut moro of n figure than

Colonel Irish isn't doing much political
worK on tbo road , as the Californlttns regis
tered a vow ooforo leaving lhat Ibo conven

Chicago. The antl-Cloveland men on Iho i

Twelve of the eighteen delegates are
Cleveland men. Eight of them were so In
structed by their districts and the other four
nro thai way from choice. To lop this , the
stale convoniion slapped on Ihe unit rule , in-
( Irucllng the delegation to vote solidly on all
questions , and of course a majority rules.
This makes the California delegation solid
for Cleveland as long ns his namoN before
the convention ; at loust , sosay tbo Cleveland

The venerable Jesse D. Carr declared thut
they were for Cleveland first , last nnd nil the
81- time. .
M. J. Laymancc. who is nn alternate
with a coed cbnnca of silling us a

probably vole solid for Cleveland on Ibo first
ballot , but couldn't say now it would go
after that. Ho said that tbo delegation felt
very friendly toward Boies.
The Callfornluns did not como in alone , as
tboy took on two of tbo Nevada delegates ,

Democrat * ot National Reputation Who
Will riirticlpttr In the Convention.
The Chicago convention with nil Its uncor
tnlnllcs presents line opportunity for the
display of pcrsonnl ability upon the part of
'young ' men not widely known who constitute
nearly the on tire number of the convention.
Of Its 80S mcmbcn loss than a score are men
of national reputation.
In the Delaware delegation Thomas F.
Bayard will sit. Ho was secretary of state
during the administration of Mr. Cleveland ,
and Is Iho third person of his family who bus
snl in the senate ot Iho United Stales , his
grandfather having been a member of lhat
body in 1800. Ho will l > o ono of tno few lions
of Iho convention. The tall form of
Senator Voorhces will rise llko
ono of the sycamprcs of the
Wnbash , to which ho has been llknned , and ,
without designing it , will cust his fellows in
the shade. From Kentucky comes Henry
Wntterson. A Uguro much pointed out will
bo tlmt of Senator Gorman of Maryland , upon
whom It is possible the Honors of the con
vontlon may full. Gorman sits In Iho body
of wblctt ho wns In 1853 n pace nnd whlcl :
ho served In a subordinate capacity unti
1SGG. Front a slave stale , ho was unfaller-
ingly a union man , hut the democracy Is'not
likely to llnd Its candidate south of Mason
nnd Dlxon's line. A dolegato-at-largc fron :
Masiachusotts Is Patrick A. Collins , now
admittedly ono of the leading citizens of
Boston , once Iho homo of iho pilgrim fathers
nnd now ono of the most thoroughly Hibornl-
clsca communities in the United States ,
Mr. Collins Is n man of sturdy character one :
robust good scnso who has boon in
request as an orator at democratic
meetings during the last thrto national
campaigns. Don M. Dickinson will bo found
In thoMlchlgan delegation proposing heartily
the rcnominatlon of the president who recog
nized the Michigan lawyer ns worthy o
pluco in the national cabinet as postmastc
general. Senator Vilas of Wisconsin , pros !
dent of the convention which nominated
Cleveland , postmaster general , secretary
of the interior , leads the Wisconsin
delegation. Near him Is an oldtimeparty
foe. a friend , however , of Cleveland's
and an appointee of his. for ho served during
tbeiClevehind administration as minister t
Mexico. General Britgg was Iho author o
the famous phrase protcntlni ; his devotion
lo Cleveland for tbo enemies bo has mauo.
In Iho contesting delecatlon If it shall
como to that from Now Vork C. S.
Folrchild's nnmo appears , but it is not
likely that under any circumstances this
delegation will bo accorded scats in Iho
convciilion. Mr. Falrchlld succeeded Daniel
Manning as secretary ot the treasury. The
regular delegation from New Yorx is headed
by Governor Flower. General Sickles is of
this delegation , as also is Henry W. Slooutn ,
both major generals of the army in the war
of the rebellion and each signally distin
guished therein. SIckleg lost a log at Get
tysburg. Ho wits already famous through n
tragedy occurrlnc in Washington before the
war In which ho was the princi
pal nctor. The sachem of Tammauy ,
Croker , is in this delegation , as also
Is Bourke Cockran , now a member of
congress and a conspicuous manager for
Tammany in 1884. John K. Fellows , the cou-
foJernte solaler who has nourished in Now
York und whoso accomplished oratory wus
Ifeard in that same convention , but on the
olhcrslde. Is also conspicuous. The Tam
manv mayor of Now York , conspicuous only
by reason of his place , will bo In the convcn-
tlon unless his predilection for tbo race track
will Induce him to glvo his sent to an ultor-
nale. The lieutenant governor of New York ,
Sheehau of Buffalo , is , like the governor , a
delegate , und the fact that ho Is lieutenant
governor ana In the nvont ot a vacancy in
the governorship will succeed him mili
tates slrongly against 'any possibility
of n boom for Flower. Leon Abbott will
bo there , nn old-time Jersey democrat ,
whoso name bus sometimes boon mentioned
ns a possibility for the presidential nomina
tion , nnd sido'bv side with him will bo found
Senator McPherson of the same stale.
Ex-Governor Campbell , whoso nnmo has
also been mentioned for tbo presidential
nomination , will sit with Cnlvm S. Brice ,
chairman of the national democratic com
mittee. Senator Daniel of Virginia closes
the list of those who , sitting In tbo wigwam ,
will bo pointed to as - iho great demo
crats of Ibo country.
These of nearly IKX ) are tha only parsons

Wo will bo disappointed if Senator Hill U

Out of tinOrdinary. .
Mr. Falrcbild's ' letter to Chairman Brieo Is
rather out of the usual form In national con
vention ! , . Under the method of procedure
in the democratic party tuoro is no occasion
for the presentation of any contest docu
ments to it us , ofllcially. It taltes no notice of
existence of contests. Its only ofllclnl
information of n contest comes when the roll
of suites Is culled nnd the announcement is
made on the floor. The distribution of tick
ets rests In each slate with the member of
the national cotnnilllco from Hint stale. In
New York Lieulcnant Governor W. F. Sheo-
hnn , ono of Iho Hill "Big Four , " Is commlt-
tcoman , und lltlio doubt Is entertained ns to
what Mr. Sheolutn would do In the mailer ,
so Hits may have caused Mr. Falrchild'a let

ord.Tho lotlor marks Iho Initial stop , Informally
opening the ground for a contest. The contest -

political masons the program will not Do an
nounced until the last moment. Indeed , it
may not bo announced at nil , but permitted
to maku its nppoaranco from tlmo to tlmo as
Iho occasion demands. The understanding
however , Is thnt no bl tor , persistent contest
will bo indulged In. The matter will not bo
closed though , and Iho way will bo left open
for sucn action as tlmo und exigencies may
demand.
, Used for KfTect Only.
1'bo Syracuse contesting delegates do not
expect seats In the convention. The results
of thut convention will bo used for effect
only. Political policy requires that nothing
bo done to engender bitterness between the
two factions. The policy of the loaders will ,
therefore , oo to avoid an interneoino strife in
Now York for the conlrol of the party or
ganization. For this reason , probably ,
nt Iho proper lime a demand will bo made
for nn open hearing of Iho trouble in New
Yorlt. This hearlnir , in Iho ordinary course
of events , would take place before Iho com-
inlllco on credentials after Us s lection by
Iho several stales and territories and , natur
ally , the request for an open bearing will not
como until thon.
There are some members of the contesting
delegation who are in favor of u light from
beginning to end , but they will have to glvo
way to ttio leaders. Tboso who would pre
fer a row nro mostly the younger democrats
from Now York City , Brooklyn , nnd porhans
fo few from other localities. They wish to
capture tbo stute organization In this couyon
tion nnd ovorluru Iho party machinery.
Some of the closest friends of Mr. Cleveland -
land , and old and experienced men , arc op
posed to this and fear Its ott'oct would bo to
cause n party split that would make Mr.
Cleveland's success very doubtful In case ho
should win the nomination. Another raasou
for not pushing the contest Is the opposition
to such n course of Mr. Cleveland's warmest
supporters outside of Now York. They are
advising against it , nnd many of them refuse
to countenance it at all. Mr. Don M. Dick
inson. for instance , suld today lhat in his
opinion Ihoro would bo no persistent iigni.
"I am n warm friend of Mr. Cleveland's.
Nobodv doubts thai , bul I would vote to seat
the rc'gular organization. The Now York
managers for Mr. Cleveland are wise men ;
they will act wisely. "
Will I'iKlit to the ICiuI.
There was a report circulated today lhat
the New York contest ban been dropped.
Ex-Mayor Grace said : "You may deny that
story most emphatically. There is not the
slightest foundation for any such report. I
am not the sort of n man to drop anything
before 1 got tlmough With it. Wo have u
strong n very strong case , and wo propose
to present , it HKO mwvors unu imu KUUIIUIUI-U.
Our contesting dulegatlon will moot at 10

lug delegates bo not seated. "

CHICAGO , III. , Juno 18. The Iowa delega
tion met this morning and elected J. 1C.
tlcbardson niraln as national commlttcnman
'or that state. It was thought the members
of the committee for the convention would bo
soloctcd today , but the raaUor was post
poned.
In a general way the situation was can
vassed and the members of tbo delegation
were assigned spcclQo missionary work
among the other delegations. The Boios
boomers are confident of success if It should
turn out thut Cleveland is not chosen
on the llrat ballot or socn after. They say
they have no pledges from outside delegates ,
hut there are a great many favorable to
lowu's candidate and many say they will go
lo Boles as second choice.
Chairman Falrchlld of Iho Now York contesting -
testing delegation haa written iv teller lo Cal
vln S. Brice , chairman of Iho national com
mittee , demanding seats for the delegates
and alternates selected by the Syracuse cou-
Tonllon. This U iho first formal slop lo contest -
test tbo rlgnt of the regular delegation to
scat * .
The political situation begins lo assume
definite form with the arrival of ino demo
cratic leaders from various sections of Ibo
couniry. As a result of last evening's con
ference tbo Cleveland lenders express Iho
greatest confidence as to the ultimate result.
Despite this , however , it is manifest
thai the aggressive atllludo assumed
by the forces ot hill , Boles , Gray and others
have somewhat chocked the Cleveland en
thusiasm , nud it Is beginning lo ba felt that
perhaps alter all iho ex-president will not
receive the requisite two-thirds on tbo first
ballot. .
Estimates by tbo loaders of the various
candidates show no material dlnor-
cnco from those already published. The
Indications ore that Hill will have between
'MO and -60 vote * , Boios and Gray probably
Iho solid support ol tbolr respective stales ,
and possibly Carlisle will have Ibo vote of
IContuckv on the tlrst ballot.
At the Cleveland headquarter * an effort Is
being made to secure a poll of all the dele
gations with the Intention of disproving
Ibo assertion that the ox-nruidont cannot
bo nominated on Ibo first ballot. Cleveland's
opponents say if not nominated on Itio first
ballot his forces will rapidly disintegrate.
It is felt , lhat Waitcrsou , Gorman and
Brlce's forces practically hold Ihe key to tbo
lluallou , Tlieau gentlemen ore silent and In
conituui consultation with prominent demo
crats as iboy arrive. It is ooltaved ibat
Gorman's candidacy is iho only Iblng which
con prevent the Maryland delegation from
votiuy solidly for Cleveland , but it is conceded -
coded that Kentucky and Ohio are consider

Then ho took up the question of his notion at

had done notning at Minneapolis orclso-
where that ho did not believe was right and
entirely in tbo interest of the union , undihat
ho would not do over again , His re
marks were supplemented by Secretary

heartily endorsing the action of President

which' it' ls said makes Mr. Cleveland a

This morning a letter was received by
James H. Echols , a delegate from the Eighth
district of Illinois , from Mr. Morrison , which
tbo Cleveland mon are using to Keep the
delegates In line for Iho cx-presidont. It
said : "I do not see that wo can do anything
except follow out the Una of action indicated
by the proceedings of our state convention
and let tbo consequences take care of them
selves. Anything else must lend to rocriin-
nntlon. "
A movement was nlso stnrtod to nt least
divide the Indiana delegation , provided it
ivas decided to ulaco Gray's name in nomlna-

and men vote for Cleveland regardless or

rlvea today nnd , unless ( J or man Is put in

will got all the voles of Ilia slnlo except , per

The Cleveland mon in the various delega

CHICAGO , 111 , , Juno IS. Senator Hill's sil
ver bombshell , if that Is what his Topokn
letter was Intended to bo , did not exactly
startle nny clement of democracy In Chicago.
A good deal of Interest , however , wna dis
played by the loaders of llm different sections
o'f the party Ihls afternoon when iho first
copies WITO shown around. The opinion wn
general that the publication ot the letter nt
this tlmo , Just before iho nasomnllng of llm
national convention , was more than n coin-
cldencc , nnd while not directly prompted by
ho senntor , wns wild tils full knowledge nnd
consent. There wns unanimity ns Jo ono
Dimso ot iho slenltloanoo of the matter that
he object was to help Hill In the convention
, vlth western and southern ilelugittes. Clove-
und's tripnds were Inclined lo treat the latter
rather scornfully.
Atlurhi'il No Importnncr to It.
"This communication , " said Don Dlckln-
on , dancing Impatiently ever his eye
lassos , after attentively perusing the con
tents , "thincommunication wns written prior
to Hill's Albany speech , and U therefore to
bo viewed In the light of thnt address. In
the Albany utterance- ! Hill favored Iho free
colnaco of silver , bill In n most necullar
lasblon. Silver dollais were to bo coined its
freely us nny cno cared for , but always when
cho cold dollar became greater In value suftl-
dicntly greater quantities of silver must bo
put Into n dollar lo make up Ihe dlireronco. 1

certain than ever thai Colorado's voles ut

Dcilogato T. J. O'Donnell said : "What
Senator Hill says Is substantially what the
friends of silver have undoMtooJ for nearly
a year lo bo his position , but It will have nn
excellent effect In making the fact plain to
many democrats who hnvo boon unjustly In
