THE CINCINNATI CONTENTION


CINCINNATI, June 81, 1890 A. M.-The
uncertainty about Tilden's withdrawal is at
an end. The formal letter announcing the
TACT and addressed to the delegates from
New York, was at last obtained about 10
o'clock tonight. 1t was first taken by mis-
take to the Enquirer office, which made
some delay, and was about midnight placed
IN the hands of the associated press and
sent abroad on the wings of lightning to
the world. 1t is hardly yet understood
throughout the city that the withdrawal IS
fixed fact, but a suspicion of the truth IS
tiltering through the public mind and a
silence has fallen on the turbulent Tam
many throng.
The question Of the hour now is, what
effect the dispersion of the Tilden and Sew
mour forces will have on the other candi-
dates. Complications exists in Ohio be-
tween the adherents of Payne and Thur
man. In Indiana there are also two candi.
dates and possible third in the person OF
English. Illinois alone of the western
states is united on one candidate Morri-
son. II his claims are properly presented
and seconded by aid from other states. he
may become formidable candidate. Hi,
friends here tonight undoubtedly feel
more hopeful than at any previous time, a
portion of the Chicago delegates having
declared for him, including Perry II.
Smith, heretofore strong Tilden man.
1t is difficult to determine in what direc.
ton the Tilden strength Will be distributed.
Watterson says he has nothing now to do
but go in for the nominee, whoever he NAV
be, Tllden being no longer IN the field.
The chairman of the Illinois delegation
will probably be S. s. Marshall, and not
Dir. Fuller of Chicago, as before reported,
who is reserved for another position. The
national committeeman for Illinois will
probably be John Mattocks, of Chicago.
THE ILLINOIS DELEGATION.
The parlors of the Illinois delegation, at
the Burnett house, have been crowded all
day, not only by the delegates, but visitors
interested in their action. There are three
presidential aspirants in Illinois, Morrison.
Davis and Palmer, and each of them have
friends in that delegation. 1t has been
represented to the delegation that if they
go into the convention split up among three
candidates they will impair their influence,
and do no good for any one. There has
been a strong effort made to unite them tor
Morrison, and his friends claim that TWEEN
ty.tive of the delegation are solid for him,
and this being majority of the forty two
it will be sufficient to give him the full
vote of the state. This would be an appli-
cation Of the unit rule not usually recog-
nized in Democratic convention and do
not believe they can control individual
delegates in that way If such delegates de-
sire to resist it. Morrison, however, is un.
doubleday very popular in his own state
aad he has gained ground here to-day, his
vote having materially increased The
Davis and Palmer men IRE not opposed to
Morrison, their preferences arising merely
out Of personal acquaintance and friend,
ship for their candidates, and il is probable
they will acquesce in the wish Of the ma
iority. 1t is reported tonight that they
have agreed to do 50. The delegation is
not yet permanently organized. Tie Nor
rison men intend to elect Fuller of Chica.
90, chairman. There are two other candl.
dates for chairman, Marshall, who was
chairman Of the Springfield convention,
and Dowdal of the Peoria Democrat. r.
p Tanscy of St. Louis is indetatigable in
THE MORRISON INTEREST
and his energy and eloquence form the
main stay of the Morrison boom. He
claims that Mr.. Morrison possesses all the
necessary elements of availability; that his
record as a union war Democrat, as a hard
money man. an advocate ofwestern interests,
and on all other questions Of controlling i'm
portance IS clear and straight; that he is
inassailable, while as man he is Of that
'hrewd, generous and prudent type, that
