SUPREMACY CT STATE SOVEREIGNTY.
New York Herald special.
CHICAGO, July Sat last work Is be-
| gun, and we'll begun. The day has had
one significant development, the downfall
OF John Kelly and the supremacy OF
OF state sovereignty, New York's bitter
fight has kept New York's favorite in the
van Of candidates, and the shades OF
night fall upon probability that ere to
morrow's sun sets the cannon Of the party
| will announce 10 the nation that Grover
| Cleveland is It's chosen standard bearer.
This ia the one great point before which
all others, however great, sink in insignih-
canoe. Chicago Is wild with excitement.
The west was not prepared for 80 pro
nounced an expression OF favor for Cleve-
| land and consultations are being held In
scores OF rooms concerning what shall be
| done to-morroW with the platform and
| the Vice Presidency. It really ia the
Republican convention over again, only,
| instead of Blaine and anti. Blaine, with
| Gle veland and anti. Cleveland. There is
strength enough here to defeat the New
| York governor, but 1t has no guide,
philosopher and friend competent to the
situation. In other works, II fritters
itself away.
| THE LATEST CANVASS.
| A careful canvass OF the states shows
that Cleveland has now about 400 votes
Bayard, 1876; Mcdonald, 70; Thurman,
| II ; Randall, so; Butler, 20, and Hoadly
| 26. Cleveland may have small msjority
OF the votes, but he still lacks more than
| 100 Of the required number, but there ia
still chance for the field to combine
against him.
BAYARD's STRENGTH.
The Delaware senator has been dsvel-
opipg considerable strength among the
southern delegates. The question is,
can the field be combined upon him 7
That is the question over which all the
anti Cleveland men are bordering to-
night. The chances seem to be against
It. Bayard's Dover speech would give
Blaine the opportunity Of runninS
bloody shirt campaign, which is just
what the northern leaders want to avoid.
This, apart from the strength Of C!eve-
land, Is the strongest point against him.
Besides that, there is no particular reason
why the field should combine. Ran

can easily get the second place by train.

New York sun special.
CHICAGO, July S-Midnight-The efforts
Of the field to beat Cleveland have been
redoubled to night. The Ohio people
, have ceased from wrangling, and after a
+, two hours' meeting all but two have
agreed to support TAnrman. A telegram
has been sent To Governor Hoadly asking
him to advise the delegation to go as a
unit for Thurman. Thurman's friends
I. are working actively with the outside
delegates. Their favOrite ticket is Thur.
man and SlOcum.
