CHICAGO, July 9.--To-day Tamma-
ny will repeat in the convention its
effort to break the unit rule. Exactly
how the fight is to be resumed is not
stated, but Mr.. Kelly claimed this
morning that he had 100 additional
votes to those cast yesterday for Sena-
tor Grady's amendment. The
fight Yesterday was only n
preliminary sparring a match. The
real contest, so Fit is said,
will occur to-day. Whether the effort
will be successful or not, there is no
doubt that last night ana this morn
ing an immense amount of work was
done by Mr.. Kelly and his men. The
actual result OF yesterdays filibuster-
ing Is claimed to be decrease in the
total vote of Cleveland Of atleast fifty
votes and perhaps more. The opposi-
ton held that any method that can
stave off ballot in the early stages is
sure to be disastrous TO Cleveland's
chances. 1t gives Field a chance to
figure. Yesterday at loon the man
ayers Of Field say the greatest
strength was reached and he enjoyed
strong boom after the defeat of the
New York delegations; but the vote on
Grady's amendment yesterday is ca
pable of several interpretations. The
Cleveland men OF course claim that it
showed only q portion of the New
York governors real strength. The
friends of Bayard, Thurman and Nc
Donald OH the other hand say Cleve-
lands actual strength is at least one
hundred short of the 463 votes cast
against the amendment. Many be-
lieve these one hundred votes
or a very large proportion
of them can be converted to-day to a
position against the unit rule. Butler
has withdrawn from the canvass.
Maj. McDavitt and Palmer, two of
his workers, tacitly admitted the fact.
His withdrawal was in pursuance of u
compact with Kelly. The Bsyard
men loudly complain that Buffers
strength would be thrswn upon their
man. This is an open question and
one which is dependent on circum-
-tances. The Bayard men also said
that Butler would return home
to-day and that his place in the con-
ventlon would be taken by his alter
nate. This statement Mai. McDavitt
promptly denied. He said Butler
would be in the convention and that
he would not go home AT noon, but he
did not say that the ex-governor had
not formed a combination with Kelly.
AS the hour approaches for the
meeting Of the convention it is more
apparent that opponents of Cleve-
laud will make another attempt to
break the unit rule and that
upon the result of this they count the
chances of Bayard, Mcdonald or Thur
man as good or doubtful. In what
form this test will come up will depend
upon the form of the proceedings to-
day.
The Cleveland managers were indus
triously at work all night The circu.
lar issued by the Young Mems Demo-
cratic club of Brooklyn was again
pressed upon the attention of the dele
| gates. 1t urges the nomination OF
Cleveland on account of availability
and the independent Republicans being
attracted to him their support will be
for the benefit of the Democratic party
The delegates are further advised
that In order to secure the support
of these Republicans it is necessary to
have PLANK in the platform favoring
revenue reform. 1t is fact to be
carefully noted, say these friends OF
| Cleveland, that the Republican reyol,
against Mr.. Blaine is composed for The
most part of individuals and Journals
who are in favor Of tariff reforms
There are other Republicans repre-
sented here not concerned by tn,
gentlemen. They are not free
traders, but are those who do
not like the sweeping Uendenc,
to Capitalization of Republicanism
The legal tender decision Is referred
to rs a cause for complaint. The opin
ion of Justice Field in this case anC
his opinions In other cases INVOLVING
questions of local government. Thes,
men are favorable to Justice Field ant
have made Il strong impression in be
half of that gentleman. Very in
dicious work has been done for Mr.
Field and If the instructions of IA,
California delegation did not stand il
the way the demonstration in his be
half would be more pronounced.
ENTHUSIASM FOR THURMAN.
The enthusiasm shown for Thur
man yesterday encourages man,
In the hope that he may finally be Sc
lected AS compromise candidate
Nothing can be urged against hin
they say. The Californians are yer,
demonstrative In pushing his candi
dacy aud II Ohio were united for hin
ana equally as Jealous he would be
very formidable candidate.
