Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
CHICAGO, July 5.-Ex-GOvernor Hendricks, who
will present McDonalds name to the convention,
and George w. Julian VIII reach Chicago this even
Ing. The Mcdonald club, of Indiana, which has a
membership Of 500, Will arrive tomorrow Sunday
afternoon.)
The Delaware delegation arrived last night and
opened headquarters at the Palmer house. The
delegates press their deter alton to stand by
Bayard from first to last
HENRY wATTERsoN ON M'DoNALD.
Henry Watterson on being asked why he favored
Mcdonald says: Between Mcdonald and Bayard
my political feeling is for the former. He comes
from state that we must carry. Bayard may be
strong in New York, but don't see why Mcdonald
should not carry New York. He has been con-
have a kind OF superstition against an eastern
nomination We have taken five candidates from
that section and were beaten with all OF them,
even with the one we elected fairly and squarely.
Now that we have man in the west who fills the
Dill there Is no reason in the world why We should
not take him"
EX-XAYOR PRINCE AGAINST BUTLER.
Ex-MayOr Prince, OF Boston, says: 81 am not for
Butler, and there is strong minority Of the dele
cation that will agree with me. We may give the
General a complimentary vote on the first ballot,
but W recognize that he has 10 chance. l should
be inclined to support Cleveland il he has New
York be hind him. and the Indications are that he
has. Either Cleveland, Bayard or Mcdonald would
suit us In Massachusetts, and with either Of them
the republican ranks fully enough to give us the
ma jority. AT present lean to Cleveland, but Of
course, shall tie governed by circumstances"
JOHN W. KEoGH THINKS CLEVELAND COULD NOT
CARRY NEW YORK.
Among the visiting democrats in the city is John
w. KeOgh. OF New York city, who was librarian Of
the state senate and is now here representa-
tive OF the anti-monopoists and labor organiza-
tons OF the metropolis. He is not opposed to
Gov. Cleveland, but thinks he could not carry New
York state as the presidential nominee. He said:
cleveland has been good governor In some things
and poor one in others. He has been about as
good governor for the republicans as for the dem
ocratS do not blame the Tammany men for OPP
posing him. Tammany has $4,000 votes more than
any other democratic organization In New York
city, ana yet Cleveland has almost entirely ignored
them In his appointments Tammany has no pa
tronage to speak OF. When there has been an issue
between capital and labor, Governor Cleveland has
always been for the monopolistS."
On hearing this. ex-senator Herman laughed
heartily, and said to TIE STAR that, II Cleveland
could not carry New York, he did not know who
could. He predicted his nomination and election.
TIE HOTELS BREEZY WITH TALK.
The arrivals this afternoon have been quite large,
and the hotel lObbies are breezy with talk. The
attendance promises to be the largest at any con-
yention ever held here. 1t is telegraphed from
Baltimore that the Catholic Mirror is out this
week against Cleveland, and advises the Catholics
and freshmen not to vote for him. This is but one
or many Indications or the bitter contest now EVIL
dent on every hand against his nomination.
TEE TROUBLE IN THE CALIFORNIA DELEGATION.
There are petty 1ealousies and rival ambitions
among the California delegates, which can be
famed into blaze; but the main trouble lies In
different direction, and hinges the unprecedent-
ed instructions which were given to delegates to
vote against just Ice Field under any contingency
They say Field Is candidate, just as he was at
Cincinnati in $780, but that at that time hts own
delegation was lot al1ayed by Instructions against
him.
CLEvELAND's PICTURES.
Large photographic portraits Of Grover Cleveland
made their appearance In the rotunda and corridors
of the hotels to-day, to keep company with those
of Roswell p. Flower and ex-senator Mcdonald
Inc Cleveland portrait has the advantage over its
rivals OF being enclosed in frame which gives 1t
more substantial appearance.
Dir. TILDEN's EARNEST DESIRE
H. O. Thompson, of New York, says that Mr.
Ttden told him that he earnestly desired that the
convention would not give him a complimentary
nomination "If every man, woman, and child in
the country were to unite in a petition to me
could not accept it, he said. He, however, init
mates that If the committee on resolutions was to
adopt one recognizing his title to the presidency In
1876 and justifying his course then and since, 1t
would crafty him and give him recognition that
he thought he deserved.
RANDALL's PROBABLE STRENGTH
An enort was mace this afternoon TO test the
probable strength OF Randall with the convention
An advance guard of the Pennsy lvanta delegation
arrived to-day, and quite number OF Chicago
democrats have been talked to about the Pennsyl-
yania Congressman with view Of getting their
support In the face OF the strong trade senti-
ment that prevails, 1t can hardly be expected that
the Randall boomers Will arouse great enthusiasm.
MT Randalls friends say that Mr.. Tilden favOrs
him.
WEST VIRGINIA FOR BLAINE IF THEY CAN'T GET BAY
Some OF the West Virginia people here say that
If Bayard Is not nominated they fear the state will
