CHICAGO, July 9.-As the hour ap-
proaches for the meeting Of the convention
1t is more apparent that the opponents Of
Cleveland will make another attempt to
break the unit rule, and that upon the re-
suit Of this they count the chances OF Bay
ard, Mcdonald, or Thurman as good az
doubtful. In what form this test will
com up will depend upon the form OF the
proceedings to-day. The Cleveland mana

to insure the support Of the Republicans 1t
is necessary to have q plank in the platform

Q cause for complaint. The opinion OF
Justice Field in this case, and his opin-
ions on other cases involving the question

tleman. Very judicious work has been
done for Mr.. Field, and il the instructions
Of the California delegation did not stand
in the way, the demonstration in his be-
half would be more pronounced. b en-
thusiasm shown for ex-senator Thurman
yesterday encourages many in the hope
that he may finally be selected as the com
promise candidate. Nothing can be urged
against him. They say the Cslifornians
are very demonstrative in pushing his
candidacy. and if the Ohio men are united
for him, and were equally as Jealous, he
would be very formidable.
