nominated, and the labors of the Cleye-
land corps are bearing frat. The ex-
tent to which Cleyeand's vote Is indicat-
ed by the vote on the unit rule yesterday
has received full share Of consideration.
Some delegates opposed to Cleveland
voted TO sustain the rule, and vice versa;
but the variations are believed to about
offset each other. Impartial estimates
place the Governors strength as follows;
Alabama ), Arkansas II, Colorado 3, Con-
nccticut II, Florida 8, Georgia 10,
Illinois "a, Iowa %, Kansas 10,
Kentucky 2, Louisiana /, Maine II,
Maryland 10, Massachusetts 5, Michigan
lG, Minnesota II, Missouri "a, Nebraska
9, New Hampshire 8, New jersey 6, New
York y, North Carolina II, Oregon g.,
Rhode Island 9, South Carolina & Ten
nessee ), Texas lG, Vermont 8, Virginia
is, West Virginia 9, Wisconsin II. Total
42i. OF the remaining 37s votes, Bayard
has about 1870, Mcdonald 80, Randall 10,
Thurman 40, Hoadly 20, Butler 30 II
Cleveland receives 42j votes on first bal.
lot he will lack II Of the necessary two
thirds.
The two.thirds rule is not likely to be
disturbed. Should the Cleveland man
ayers manipulate the Committee on Ru eS
SO that the Convention could be led to
adopt such rules as would remit a ma
jority vote to abolish the two-thirds rule,
they could probably find the majority to
do it with. But it is believed they will
not take any such a dangerous course.
The opposition's hope is in Cleveland's

will not seek to disturb the rule.
"Mentor," Of the Herald, says: "The
opposition to Cleveland is in the same
condition in most respects as was the op-
position to Blaine. Cleveland is the
second choice Of delegates first for other
men, as was Blaine. Mcdonald or Hoadly
are in the same Vice Presidential boat that
Logan sailed in. The Mcdonald men view
with alarm the growth Of Bayard and the
possible rising Of Thurman. The In
dianans have never lost sight OF the
second place, and are still reaching for
it, if nothing better can be found. Thur
mans success would freeze them ont.
The party will not risk its all on Ohio
and Indiana, Oho's October vote is alone
enough to overweight Thurman. Hoad-
~ does not seek first place, but does want
second. Manning is playing IIoadly
against Mcdonald. The latter will have
to jump quick if he gets into the CIeve-
land camp ahead Of the Ohioan.
Randall has the Presidential fever in
an aggravated form, but his managers
are convinced he stands no chance. One
OF them, q Pennsylvania Congressman,
says Randal's fight is tariff not the Pres
ideuCy. He remains in the field only to
secure yindication by the absence Of the
word 'on,y' from the tariff plank. He is

would have been where Cleveland is to-
day. He will get out of Cleveland's way
in due time. Two-thirds of the Pennsyl-
yania vote viii 90 to the New Yorker
EX-MayOr Prince, of Boston, a mem
Der of the Tiden coterie, has under
mined Butler in Massachusetts,, and
Butler can not stand more than one
ballot, when good part of Massa-
chusetts will join in the Tilden pro-
gramme. Not more than two ballots are
probable, Possibly only one will be
taken. At the end of the first changes
Will begin, and no one need be Surprised
to see Ohio and Indiana run race as TO
which can be the first to get there.
All the indications of the hour are
that if Cleveland has 400 votes 10 be-
Gin with, the necessary l5j more will be
quickly drawn from Ohio, Indiana, Ken
lucky, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts
The opposition lacks coherency OF
plan, and is without ability to con-
ccntrate, unless it be upon Thurman, and
there is general fear of risking every
thing upon Ohio'S October vote. The
field may yet be sufficiently organized to
fight for delay, and hold more than a
third from the layOrta long enough to
break him down, but it is improbable

ers are for Cleveland. Individual self
interest is a factor in many delegations
and the New Workers. generals know
where - find and how to satisfy it, as
they have satisfied Kings County aud
many more counties and men besides. 4
prospective winners popularity always
grows rapidly, Back of it all is the
magic power Of the pa'Sied sage of Grey
stone. His whisper has been heard from
Maine to Oregon"
The opposition say the vote on the unit
rule does not justify the rejoicing of the
Cleveland men over their so-Cailed great
victory J. z. Frenzel, who is the chief
manager Of the Mcdonald campaign, said
last night:
Owe don't regard the vote on the
amendment of Grady as test of Cleve-
lands strength. Perhaps Of those who
voted against the amendment 800 were
for Cleveland. The Others voted for the
unit. rule simply because Tammauy op-
posed it. The fight in the New York
delegation made one thing clear, and that
was that no New York man now men
toned for the nomination can carry New
York. Then what is to be done? Simply
this! Nominate a man who can carry In
diana and New York. Indiana is Just as
important and necessary to the Democ-
racy as New York The man who can
carry these two States is well known. He
is Joseph L. Mcdonald. We know that
he can carry Indiana, and neither the
Cleveland men nor the Tammany men say
that he can't carry New York. We have
entered on an aggressive campaign and
we intend to keep it up until
Mcdonald is nominated. lie is man
with spotleSs record and National
reputation. lie is as popular on the Pa
cifC coast as Blaine, for his course on the
Chinese question has been in favor of the
interests of America. No labor union
will oppose him, for he is the friend of
labor. We intend to put him right to the
front, and keep him there until he is nom
