Chairman Jones Thinks Cleveland Ahead
of Other Democratic Candidates.

PIrrsBuRG, June 30.
b. r. Jones, chairman of the national re-
publican committee, has returned home and
talks freely about the campaign. He says
no definite or detailed plan of operation has
as yet been agreed upon, and that it cannot
be until alter the meeting of the democratic
national convention. The paramount issue,
however, will be the tariff, which as a nation
al question will enter largely into discussions
upon the stump and in the press in all doubt
full States. and will receive special attention
at the hands of the committee. The States
he name, rs d uh,fnl States, but expec's to
carry are New York, New Jersey, Indiana
and possibly West Virginia. The latter
he counts sure unless Bayard is nomi-
mated, as he would be very strong there. In
speaking of the democratic candidates, he
says Cleveland has no certainty of a nomina-
ton, but he is ahead. Bayard or Butler
would be harder to defeat. Thurman Is the
best man mentioned for the place, but would
not make as popular candidate as Cleve-
land. Tilden might accept yet il rendered a
unanimous nomination. Butler, he thought,
might carry Massachusetts. even il he did
not get q democratic endorsement. With a
mass of electoral votes In his pocket Better
could put other candidates in peculiar sit
uation.

TOO DRUM TO SPAR.
The Great Nitcheii-Saliivaa Match
Proves Fxxle-Sniiivan Appears
on the Stage in a Drunken
Condition.

NEw ToRK, June 80.
Betweea ave and six thousand people, in.
ciuding hundreds from Boston aud Philaiel-
phia and large delegations from Baltimore
and Chicago, went to Madison Square GAR
den tonight TO see the glove contest between
John L. Sullivan and Charles Mitchell. The
ssories that had been circulated daring the
last few days CONCERNING Sullivan's drunken
ness and Mitchelrs malaria did not seem TO
shake the belief of the good natured public
that the men meant to have q bonshde and
exciting match. In the early eve II was re-
ported that both boxers were in good con-
dition. The first part of the nights program
in which appeared several members Of the
Sullivan combination and others passed of
pleasantly. few minutes before 10 o'clock
the great John L. sullivan. in street cos.
tune, staggered mp the stairs leading 20 the
platform, accompanied by Billy O'Brien and
another man, who was said to be DIR. Van.
derpoel of the Ashland House. 0'Brien
announced TO the crowd that the doctor had
positively stated that "Mr. Sullivan" was too
III to spar. He said that rather than have
the people disappointed Dominick MeCafrey
would spar Mitchell. OBrien was hooted,
Then the great Sullivan made way 10 the
edge of the ring, and supporting himself by
the ropes made q few remarks. He looked
like ''terrible example" His hat was un.
brushed and his clothes soiled. He was
boated in the body and his face and features
were red and distorted, almost beyond rec
ognition. Standing in al attitude of bum
mer at the bar, he said in a hosrse voice that
could be heard but few feet away;
81 can't spar tonight-Im too sick, You
may think I'm drunk, but aint; I'm sick.
don't think il fair to give you friendly set.
to with Mitchell, fer you didn't come to see
that"
Then the renowned Sullivan was heartily
Kissed. Mitchell. who had assembled the
steps while the valiant Mr.. Sullivan was
speaking came to the ropes and had his say
He looked somewhat pale and thin, and his
lips were swollen and sore looking. The
Englishman said:
"Pm in no condition to spar myself
have had it very bad with malaria, and
don't think il would be fair 10 Mr.. Sullivan
to have this match, as l am feeling pretty
good tonight, although came here to do the
best could. That's all there is to It,"
The people cried "shame" and hissed and
shouted; "Sullivan, you've lost your repu-
tation," and made various other depreciatory
remarks, and then slowly left the building.
Ii is estimated that $4,000 was taken in by
the management, and that $1,000 covers all
expenses. So the gladiator Sullivan and the
Englishman had $4,000 to be divided be-
tween them as q result of the much looked
for contest.

A POLITICAL SENSATION.
A Conference of the Demo

York.
Butler Selected as the Candidate
TO Lead Them to Victory.
Especial Dispatch to the Kennebec journal, J

Especial Dispatch to the Kennebec Journal. ]
NEw YORK, June 80.
Benz. F. Butler has been selected by the
democracy to lead them 70 victory. con-
ference at the Fifth Avenue Hotel settled the
matter.
1t was very quiet and has thus far been
kept from the public. John Kelly, Gen.
Butler. Governor Hoardley, Representative
Ermentrout for Samuel !. Randall Lester
Faulkner for Roswell p. Flower, and
others representing Bayard and Mcdonald
met TO decide on the best man to oppose
Blaine. Cleveland was not represented be-
cause the gentlemen assembled agreed that
Cleveland could not win. II was stated that
the republicans were spending money to
nominate Cleveland
The conference soon resolved itself into
anything to beat Cleveland, and Butler was
unanimously selected as the proper candi.
date.
Butler agreed to accept if no revenue re-
form plank was inserted in the platform.
Virginia man present said his State would be
solid for Butler and Mahone's influence
would be thrown to him. Buffers war rec
ord was answered by the argument that he
would divide the culored vote and thus COM
pensate for the loss of the southern
white vote. A western democrat
urged above all that Butler is
already in the field, having received four
or FIVE nominations, which would bring a
large floating vote. fully a million in the
country. John Kelly urged Butler because
Blaine would pole large Irish vote and But
Ter was the only man to secure it, even Mary
land was unsafe unless Butler WAS nomi-
mated. The western men were surprised at
the depth of feeling in the East against Cleve-
land, and accepted Butler with good grace.
Mr.. Ermontrout challenged any one to name
a man who would arouse the enthusiasm that
Butler would with due respect to Randall.
No man could make the fight against Blaine
that Benjamin could. Then a Flower Bay
ard Butler compact was formally made.
Butler afterwards went TO Virginia and has
since returned to Lowell. He has rented a
suit of Offices in this city.
Mr.. Flower, in an interview this evening,
admitted the substantial truth of the above,
and announced himself entirely out of the
race.
