    THE. OMAHA DAILY BfitiN MONDAY , JUNE 20 , 1392.
r. rt n candidate. Maryland Is for Cleveland.
H hns no other tiuirio to bring before the con
vention. All this talk about mo is mislead
ing and unauthorized. 1 will make no state
ments because none" Is needed ; my position
Is. I think , understood. "
In the Marvland headquarters thcro ti a
Urge and highly decorated picture of Sen
ator Gorman with the legend underneath ,
"Maryland1 * Favorite Son , " but no sugges
tion of his candidacy It utlM-ed In onv way.
Governor Brown said : "Of course Mary
land xvonln bo complimented if Mr. Gorman
would bo made the candidate , but if the
party wants him the movement would have
to bo a spontaneous one. Senator Gorman
would novcr sock the nomination. "
Ono of Tnmmnny' * Hrlinnim ,
Tbo gossip was that when the Tammany-
Hill forces tint looked over the ground n'
Chicago It was decided that all the hflp nec
essary should bo given to every stnto which
displayed symptoms of having n favorite son.
Aid was tendered to Gorman , to Uussell , to
Boles nnd to any whoso name might conio
out.
out.V. . C. Whitney , Cleveland's shrewdest
manager , It Is stated , was sent to Chicago to
smooth over the ronuh places In Ilia carp
pnipn us far as It could bo dono. Ho Is of
course the Cleveland lender and the Clove-
laud caucuses are held chlofly In his rooms
nt the Kluhcllcu , but ho Is also frequently to
be seen In conference with Crokor , Murphy
nud the other Tnmmiuiy leaders. The old
politicians on the ground glvo him all the
credit for the complete change of tone by
Tnmmnnv o vislblo in the last twenty-four
hour * , ilo bltrself is very reticent.
"You can soy that Cleveland will bo nomi
nated on tha first ballot nnd I .should fancy
that ought to bo statement enough , " ho said.
"I know nothing about the councils of Tam
many , but I do know that It is a democratic
organization and that it is entitled to a pn-
tlcnt hearing. Nothing can bo lost by court-
CSV. "
Mr. Whitney professed surprise to learn
Unit Tammany hnd censed its bitter talk In
the other delegations , but knew nothing
nbout any reason which would have Induced
the leaders of the Now Yortt organization to
change their tactics.
Thciy'ro Out for Hill.
Bourke Cockran. ono of the Tammany lead
ers , said : "Wo are hero for Hill , and wo
proDoso to place his namii fairly and fully
before the convention. Wo have no qunrrol
with any cdndidato , but wo do believe that
wu know something about the condition of
feeling In Now York. Mr. Hill can carry
the atato. No other Now Yorlc democrat can
do BO. This U the message wo brinir to the
convention , and thcro is no reason for hard
locllngor blttornoss becnuao wo cannot see
things in our stnto as other people who do
not live in Now York nnd who don't know
OH much nbout it. Tammany is inlsundor-
Mood and misroprosontoit , but it can ulTord
to lot people talk as they will. Wo nro here
fur Hill ; wo won't nuke a light for any
other candidate. "
The trade , which it was said was fixed up
by Mr. Whitney and Tammany , Is looked
upon with suspicion bv some nf the delega
tions. The Hill delegation , it Is said , will bo
Heated without serious question , without ,
Indeed , moro than a formal pro to U on tun
pnrtof the "anti-snappers , " and In the mean
time Tammany wilt lot the favorlto sons
nlono to look after themselves In their vari
ous states , as best they can , The matter xvns
In some way fixed up at tin early hour this
morning and .since then the inevitable Tam
many question , which was ono of the feu-
turo In the headquarters , has kept the Sab
bath in n most decorous fashion.
Tnlk with a Loader.
Ex-Mayor Grnco said : "Yes , I have hoard
that Mr. Whitney has hnd a consultation
with Crokor and that from now on wo nro to
have n qul t campaign of education without
lighting words. Wu propoio to have thn con
vention pass upon our right to seats In tno
convention and Mr. Wlillnoy would never
think of pledging us to do or leave undone
anything touching our dutv to the pcoplo.
It Is my private Judgment that this would bo
n wise th na to do , because it would take
nway any fevlltiu of bitterness which the
Tammany men might tool if they were
excluded. On the other hand , If Cleveland
Is to bu beaten , tbo anti-Cleveland men
Bhould by nil means seat us as u concession
to the Clovolnnd sentiment In Now Yorlt.
Hence , I look upon tbo disposition of the
nntl-snappors as an excellent teat of the
convention. If wq arc rejected It surely
means that Cleveland will bo the nominee.
Mr. Whitney hns mnclo no pledge that binds
us. Wo prODOso to got our case before thn
committee and tbo convention , and nothing
can prevent us doing it. Mr. vVhitnoy
would not want to nroveut It. Whatovnr
understanding ho may have reached with
Tammany , you may bo very sure that wo
have nothing to do with It.
' Thora Is a curious misunderstanding
noout the Now York parties. Tammany Is
for Hill , of course , but the bitterness in the
111lit ; Inn not been the work of Tammany ,
but of those Hill ofllceholder.s from trio
upper part of the state. They seem today
to bo misled , and it is u good thing for the
democratic party that they arc. "
S'MlH'tltlMK HIM Iliipnoiied to thn lllll Men.
Judge Tucker of Now Yor said : "it
stems to bo manifest that something hns
happened to the Hill mon. If Secretary
Whitney has caused the change in their atti
tude It Is certainly a matter for congratula
tion nmong all democrats. Wo hear loss
about favorlto sons today than at any tlmo
lor n week cast , and It looks to mo as if
everybody bad at last como to a realizing
Honsu of the situation. The demand of the
country is for Cleveland , and the delegates
nra rapidly finding It out. Ho will bo nom
inated , I am assured , on the first ballot. "

Oucstlou lluilr Correctness.
The opponents of Mr. Cleveland question
the correctness of the estimate , especially on
Massachusetts. Governor Hussell. however ,
states that twenty-eight of the thirty have
always boon Cleveland men. nud the Cleve
land.managers tonight say that the other two
caino over and suid they would vote for
Cleveland.
The vote of North Carolina and Tennessee
Is thu cstlmato ot Mr. Hill's managers , and
Is accented by the Cleveland mon.
The " Cleveland men , whllo they have
claimed only twenty of the thirty from
Texas , state that they nro practically assured
that 11 vo moro \vill ha added to the Cleveland
column from that state.
Whllo the two from Utah are divided in
the table , Judge Henderson ot Utah , It is
stated toalffht , nnirmod that beta delegates
would vote for Cleveland.
After the Cleveland missionaries had this
afternoon spoken half an hour before the
Washington delegation at their headquarters ,
the chairman of the delegation announced
that though they hnd been counted for Mr.
Hill in the previous estimates they were now
convinced that Mr. Cleveland could carry
Now York nnd that their eight votes would
bo cast for him. .
It will bo observed that Arizona and New
Mexico , frco silver sttC3 ; , wore , because of
the fact , that they had been believed sure for
Mr. Hill , placed in the other column in the
above table.

Cmctno , 111. , Juno 19. The delegates to
the democratic national convention are ar
riving in great numbers today. Heretofore
they have been straggling in two or three at
a time , but some of the whole delegations
nro now putting in tholr appearance. The
decorators are hard at work , ted ay/preparing
headquarters for the various delegations
and an occasional marching club , headed by
the inevitable brass band , going to the scouo
of conflict , breaks In on the monotony.
Thcro is little nolso as vet about the hotels.
but it is thought enough of the shouting ele
ment will bo on hand by nightfall to disturb
tbo Sunday quiet.
Enough of the Virginia delegation arrived
last evening to Indicate that the complexion
of the delegation will bo cloven for Cleveland -
land , ono for Hill , with Gormau as second
choice. Tbo delegation is unlnstructcd , but
nt the state convention resolutions were
passed expressing a sentiment favorable to
Cleveland. The Gorman feeling , however.
Is strong among the delegates.
MUiourluiu Cannot Agroo.
A largo cohtmcont of the Missouri delega
tion is also Installed In headquarters at the
Palmer houso. There is a bitter fight rag
ing within the delegation over the control of
its organization , there being several candi
dates fdr local commitleemau , but tbo Clove-
laud sentiment is very strong with both fac
tions. Governor Francis of that 'stato Is
spoken of as a possible nominee ou the ticuot
with the ox-president if ho should be the
fortunate winner.
Whllo tbo Missourluns are rampant Cleveland -
land mon as Ion if as he tmsu ghost of a show ,
yet thoundor-currentof feeling Is that if it
becomes necessary to take u western man
MnrrUon will got the Cleveland strength
from that state , although there Is a scatter
ing support , for Bnlo from the delegates
along the Iowa border.
The delegates from Now Mexico propose
to ask the convention for the name liberal
treatment , from , the democratic convention
accorded to the territory by the Minneapolis
convention nnd will probably throw the
weight of thulr Inlluencu to whatever candi
date will graut them six votes.

The Connecticut delegation arrived late
last night , enthusiastic to a man for Cleve
land. Said Carlos French , chairman of the
dclogutlon : "Our twelve delegates have not
been Instructed , but wo are solid for Clove-
land. Connecticut is a strong Cleveland
stato. I know of no democrat to whom wo
could with ns much certainty promise the
electoral vote of oUrstatq as , to Cleveland. "
Michigan delegates nro coming on every
train to help whoon un the huom for Cleve
land which Don M. Dicliinson brought over
from Detroit nany in the week. The
Minor law decision gives them an Im
portance which they are not dls-
posed to ignore. Colonel Cnmpau. who will

clares that Cleveland will go sailing through

votes from Michigan , Tbo state has. u vice

The delegation from the state of Georgia ,
the state which exert * so much Influence in

night mid opened headquarters at the Palmer

tion claim that they will have irora fifteen to
seventeen votes for the ox-prosldont on the
llrst tallot , and that the remainder will
probably bo cost for Senator Hill , with
notslbly two exceptions , which may go to
Gorman.
Judge George Hillyar , a delegate from the
Atlanta district , was seen , aim said : "in
my opinion , Cleveland wilt receive from
fifteen to tuveiituun votes from the stuto of
Georgia. Uhu romnlmlpr of the twenty-six

The Wisconsin delegation cnmo down from
the Badger stnlo tilts afternoon and brought
n vlco ptcsidonttnl candidate with 'them ' in
the person of Georso W. Peck. That Gov
ernor Pock's name will bo presented for the
second place on the ticket there Is little
doubt. The boom for Wisconsin's executive
started ou the train for Chicago , but on
arriving here ha eutored an earnest protest ,
but the Idea of having a veteran printer on
the ticket to oppose Whltolaw Hold caught
the Wisconsin delegates , and it was decided
to work the boom for all it wa& worth. Gov
ernor Peek , It was ascertained , was an Ox-
member of Typographical union No. 0 of
Now York. The irovornor , however , laughed
at the BUgsoulon of that fact having any
bearing. Ho declared Wisconsin solid for
Cleveland and thought Holes or Gray would
bo given second place on the ticket.

The South Dakota delegates arrived this
morning and are quartered at the Sherman

The Idaho delegation reached the city to

Tbo Washington state dcloaation has

The Hill and silver people have oeon hard at

was a unit for Cleveland. The delegation
was strongly In favor of having the platform
endorse government control of the Nicaragua
canal interests.
1'roiu the Old liny S til to.
The Massachusetts delegation arrived dur
ing tbo evening and Mr. Cleveland has so
long been tha idol of the democracy of the
Old Bay state that it was not surprising that
they reported the Cleveland sentiment almost
overwhelmingly preponderant. Word came
to Chicago whllo the train was speeding west
ward that Governor Hussell's boom was
waxing strong with the delegation , and
that it would go for him on the first , ballot ;
but the boom was a good deal stronger on
the rails , If the report bo correct , than in
Chicago , as notnlng was hoard of it here.
There nro four Hill men In the delegation ,
but an effort will bo made to tfnvo the dele
gation vote solidly for Cleveland , though the
unit rule is not in forco.
Mayor Matthews of Boston said the dele
gation was twenty-six for Cleveland and
lour for Hill , but they "hoped" to vote as a
unit. The four Hill votes are from Con
gressman O'Noll's district. There are sev
eral men In the delegation who have doubts
as to Mr. Cleveland's ability to carry Now
York , but , as ono of them said , "None of us
! could have coino here if wo had not agreed
to vote for Cleveland. "
Ex-Uopresontativo Rusnoll , who Is in com
pany with Patrick Collins , said Massachu
setts Is a go-as-you-pleasa delegation and
does not have a unit rulo. "And you go to

"Toward Cleveland almost unanimously , "
was tbo response.
Patrick Maguire , whoso word goes in Bos
ton politics , re-echoed tbo same sentiment.

Vermont arrived early this morning and

Dr. John D. Hanraban , the chairman of the

vlll llrst attempt to break tbcunlt rule In the

ho matter ooforp , the convention , as the
Tammany delegates did in 183 i , aim fight to

Strength of tha Antl-Clovelnmi Men.
Tbo number ot antl-Clovoland mon in the
delegation , provided tbey could oxorclso
their choice , is differently stated , Mr. Hnr-
rlty putting It as low as throe. Ex-Senator
Wallace says that seventeen members nf the
delegation wish the unit rule broken , and
.halthis is the antl-Clovaland strength. It
s probable that eight to ton will rcpresont
, ho vote which , In the event of a departure
'rom ' the unit rule , would go against the ox-
jrosldent. But \vhllo the minority are rest-
'
vo under the unit rule roslrictlon.'it has be
come evident that they cannot hope to ac
complish more than perhaps the recording of
a protest.
The unit rule and the two-thirds rule are
synchronous with the democracy , nnd since
.832 . tbo unit rule has applied wherever it
has been put in force , und has been recog
nized by all national conventions since then ,
despite attempts to have It overturned.
It Works liothVnys. .
The special nrpumont brought forth this
tlmo is that after the state convention in
structed for Cleveland several dlstrist delo-
jatos were cboson , and as to these , at least ,
.t . was contended tbo rule should not bu
binding. Cleveland men are In a majority
n the delegation and with a unit rule bind-
ng In Now York it is as good as settled that.
they would not break- In Pennsylvania.
The fight Is .the continuation of the battle
between Chairman Harrity and James ICerr ,
at present cleric of the house , for control of
the delegation. Mr. Kerr Is an anti-Cleveland
man and was dispossessed o : the state chnlr-
nanshlp partly on this' account and beaten
In a contest with Mr. Harmy.

Democrats First.
"Wo are democrats first and friends of

the tlmo has como to say that unless tbo sit

Graver Cleveland will not bo our candidate.
Personal affection , personal loyally , cannot

that wo must leave Cleveland for so mo

"Nebraska hau no name to propose. Wo
have como here unlnstructed , to do the best
that in us lies for the party. Instructions
were prepared in our convention , but they
were voted down and the delegation llnds It
self , accordinely , ready to listen to the argu

convention and finally to dccldo as its best
wisdom may dictate. "
"How does it stand now , govornorl"
"I should ay twelve for Cleveland , ono for
Hill , two for Gorman and ono about wnom
none of up know anything. The delegation
fairly rolleota the state , although the proportion
tion of Cleveland democrats in Nebraska is
perhaps larger. But we cannot go to Cleveland -
land unless Cleveland comes to the country
with Now York. This Now York muddle Is
as constant in democratic conventions as one
ol the plagues of EeypK They are always
making trouble , and for twenty-eight years
have been continually defeating the demo

"Arthur P. Gofmon could carry Now York
and thn country , So could half a dozen other
democrats. My own choice , however , would
most undoubtedly bo Palmer of Illinois , with
Russell in the second place. Palmer is not
too old , and ho combines all those qualities
which wo esteem and love. No namn could

The rock In the path of Urovor Clovolnnd
Is the two-thirds rulo. If that could bo abolished
ished the Stuffed Prophet might snap his
finger u' . Dave Hill nnd all tha rest. It has
boon reported that the managers of the
Cleveland third nomination campaign , who
cara nothing for the democratic party except
as an Instrument for their project , now pro
pose to mpeal the two-thirds rule by insidi
ous attacks as n stop toward the desired ob
ject of their scheming. They succeeded at
St. Louis , with tdo patronage of the admin
istration , In breaking down the ono-torm
rulo. That departure resulted in defeat at
the polls.
There will bo ft very determined effort to
counteract any such movement. The Now
York Sun has recently raised Its warning-
volco and said : "There never was n tlmo In
the history of the democratic party when it
was moro Important than npw that the two-
thirds rule should bo enforced ligidly. It ap
plies to oil candidates alike , and gives abund
ant opportunity for convenience among dole-
ijatis in deciding the nomination ulsoljv
"tinder this calming Influence there Is
little dnniror of the convention being stara-
vodod by tiny sudden impulse or rush of
fictitious enthusiasm. "
It is not probable that any such attempt
will bo successful. Indeed It may no doubted
whether the most audacious Cleveland men
will now so far venture to defy the traditions
of the party ns to scok to break down the
two-thirds ruio. It is extremely Improbable
that the convention will venture to uphold
democratic public opinion by such a defiance
of a settled policy.
Now Hampshire originated the Idea of
national conventions for nominating candi
dates for the presidency. General Jackson
was elected president in 1623 , and Mr. Calhoun -
houn served with him as vlco president.
Differences between them led to a positive
change in their personal and political rela
tions , so that when General Jackson beamo
the accepted candidate for a second term ,
Mr. Calhoun was dropped and the vlco presi
dency was left open for competing nomina
tions.
The legislature of New Hampshire issued
a call for a democratic national convention to
meet nt , Baltimore May 21 , 1833 , the object
boinp to nominate n candtdato for vtco presi
dent. The number of delegates , and the
mode of choosing thorn , were referred to the
different stutes.
A largo attendance bore witness to the
popularity of the experiment , as a decided
improvement on the former caucus nnd other
systems. At that tlmo the electoral votes
aggregated 2S8. of wnloh 283 had representa
tion , nnd Mr. Van Burcn received203 votes ,
which made bira the democratic candidate
for vlco president , and ho was elected with
General Jackson.
The moat remarkable incident of that can-
vontion was the adoption of the celebrated
two-thirds rule , which bat been continuously
recognl/od as one of the pillars of the demo
cratic faith for sixty years. In was intro
duced by Mr. Saunders of North Carolina
in the following terms :
Hcsolved. That oaeli atato bo entitled. In the
nomination to bo made of a candidate for the
vlco presidency , to a number of votes equal to
the number Unit they will bo entitled to In
electoral colleges under the now apportion
ment In votlnc for nrosldcnt imd vice yrual-
dontaml that , two-ihlnls of the whole number
of vote * In the convention shall bo necessary
to constitute it choice.
Democratic leaders in several states did
not like the Now Hampshire innovation , nor
the Sauuderj rule , which imposed a severe
test on tbo ambition of aspirants for the
presidency. General Jackson wrote a letter
In February , 183.1 , favoring a national con
vention and the friends of Mr. Van Duron
wore urpont In their advocacy of the now ex
pedient as beina most representative of the
popular sentiment. The convention mot at
Baltimore Mav 20,1835 , ana Mr. Van Buroii
was nominated for president without opposi
tion. Four candidates , VV. H. Harrison ,
Hugh L.-\Vhlto , Daniel Webster and Wlllio
P. Mangum , contested the election and they
received 124 electoral votes against 170 tor
Martin Van Burou.
Tuo next democratic national convention
met nt. Baltimore , May S , 1810 , and Mr. Vou
Buron's nomination for a second term was a
foregone conclusion. His administration
had to contend with the financial crash of
1837 , which confronted him on entering the
white house , and with embarrassments at
tending the Florida war with the Indians.
Tbcao and other causes led to a political up
heaval , nnd General Harrison was olactcd
as president.
The fourth national convention mot at Bal-
tlmdro. May 27 , 1811. Mr. Van Buron en
tered it backed by a clear majority of the
delegates. But ho had previously committed
himself In regard to the annexation of Texas
end had to carry the load of defeat by General
Harrison. The wise and conservative loaders
of the democracy , with the best fooling
toward Mr. Van Buron , though his nomina
tion for a third tlmo would Imperil tbo suc
cess of the party , which was moro important
than any and nil candidates.
Mr. Saunders was thora and renewed the
two-thirds rule , which in fact became the
test of the divided opinions of the conven
tion. It was realllrmed by a vote of US to
118 , and Mr. Polk , who had boon speaker of
the bouse of representatives , was nominated
nnd elected over Henry Clay.
From that tuna forward until 1888 ono
term became the unwritten , law of tbo demo
cratic party. Polk , Plorco and Buclmmmti
never cncouracoa any departure from the
restriction. They stood by it in good fallb ,
