The Struggle for AsoendanCy Among
Candidates Waxing Warm and
Acrimonious.
An Universal Cry for Peace" Which is
Likely to Find Its Echo in "War's
Wild Alarms"

WAat constitutes peace, and the prob
abilities are now that harmony cannot
prevail on any subject presented to the
convention. The Tilden leaders
are violently separated in their prefer
ences. Watterson Is for Mcdonald,
Dana is for Bayard, Barnum for Cleye-
land, and Tiiden himself is reported to
De Tor Randall or Cleveland.
DIVIDED THEY STAND.
Almost every State has different ia
yorlte or several favorites, and many
delegations have arrived here in
hopeless division among them
| selves. The Tilden men see in all this an
| opportunity to rush in the Sage of Grey
stone by acclamation, believing he is the
only man through whom harmony can be
secured. Friends of Mcdonald, Hen
bricks and Cleveland are opposed to this
scheme, because they profess to have as
surance that Tilden will Immediately
telegraph his refusal Of the nomination,
and thus settle forever the cry for the Old
ticket.
BAYARD's OPPORTUNITY
Then will come the tug of war, and ey-
cry indication points to Bayard as the
available man. Not one of the arriving
| delegates has made the slightest objec-
ton TO him, and he is everywhere re-
ierred to in the most respectful terms.
His supporters are not partisans, and no
commOtion will be excited in his interest.
Thus far Bayard is fayorably mentioned
IN every delegation, which is more than
| can be said of any other candidate, Tildcn
| not excepted
THE CARLISLE MOVEMENT.
/. N. Helm, delegate from the Sixth
Kentucky District, arrived this morning
TO prepare headquarters for the Carlisle
movement. He reports his State solid
| Tor Carlisle, but in the event of separa-
| tion the delegates will be divided between
! Bayard aud Mcdonald. Mr.. Watterson
is making desperate efforts to secure
Kentucky solid for Mcdonald, and it is
| generally believed here that the Carlisle
boom is a Mcdonald boom in disguise.
CLEyELAND's MANAGERS.
A special car arrived over the Lake
Shore Road this afternoon bearing Cleve-
lands managers. The party consists of
Chairman Daniel Manning, p. O..
Thompson, Commissioner OF Public
Works, eX-Mayor Edward Cooper, Man
ton Marble, Smith Weed, Major A
Blucker and John A. Mccall, Jr.
( TILDEN FOR CLEVELAND.
Mr. Manning says that nnder no cir
cumstances whatever will Tilden accept
the nomination, but has given instead
much support to Cleveland. He believes
Cleveland will be easily nominated, not
only on his own account but because he
is the presumptlye heir to Tilden'S
strength.
THE PLATFORM OF ST.
1t is announced that Mantop Marble,
who wrote the platform of 1876, has
brought with him the platform of 1884,
made under the supervision OF Demo-
Gratis at Washington and containing
mild tariff reform plank with strong en-
phasis on administrative reform.
A ONE CENT MOVEMENT
Some unknown person has started a
movement here for Frederick 0. Price, of
Boston, for Vice-President, for the os-
tensible purpose of catching independent
Republicans, but in reality to kill off Ben
Butler.
CHICAGO, LII, July 3.--The Cleveland
boom struck Chicago last night. 1t came
in the person of Dan Magone, Chairman
of the New York State Committee in
1876, strong friend Of Samuel J. Til
den, and delegate from the Twenty
second District; Edgar X. Apgar, dele
gate from the Albany District, and
leading Democratic politician of the
State, and Chas. +. Peck, Commissioner
of the State Bureau of Labor Statistics
Several lesser lights followed in their
train. The entire party is enthusiastic
for Cleveland and confident that he
will be both nominated and elected.
Said Mr.. Magone; "Cleveland will
get two-thlrds of the New York delega-
ton when it comes to ballot in the eau
Gus and that will give him the seventy
two votes of the State. With New York
so firmly for him there can be no doubt
of his receiving the votes of enough
other States to give him the requisite
two-thirds aiority. look for Cleve-
lands nomination on the first ballot"
elbow strong is the opposition to Cleve-
land in New York.
1t is the same old crowd that has been
lighting us ever since Tilden first ran in
1874. 1t is the crowd that went to st.
Louis in 1876, and said Tilden could
never win, and it would be the ruin of the
country to Eominate him. 1t is the same
crowd that went to Cincinnati in 1880
and told the same story, unfortunately
with more effect. The same crowd will
now come here to fight Cleveland aud try to
persuade the delegates to this convention
that Cleveland cannot carry New York,
just as before they tried to argue that
Tilden could not carry the State. Tilden
carried it in spite of their opposition, and
Cleveland could now carry it by $4,000
majority. lie is certain of 1t if nominal
ed, and he is the only Democrat that Is
certain of 1t. He will get all of the
Democratic votes and forty thousand In
dependent Republicans.h
"What strength has Flower in the New
York delegation"
"There Is not delegate on the list that
is really for him. Flower has been used
by the opposition of Cleveland as q stalk
ing horse, and by spending money freely
he has been enabled to gather together
few votes, not over ten, that are nomi-
nally for him. If it came 70 pass, how
ever, that Flower was actually In the
field and stood some show of being NOM
