CHICAGO, July THE political hubbub
continues, and it will be great relief to
many delegates when tomorrow comes
and the convention gets to work. 1t is
almost impossible to make guess even
at the ultimate result. All the Cleveland
men are jubilant, as the majority in the
New York delegation have used their
power and sat down on any compromise
looking to the substitution of another
candidate to heal the differences of the
party in that State. Randall is developing
considerable strength. The quiet
underworking in the South is beginning
to show. He is the representative of the
protection wing Of the party, of course,
and delegates heretofore supposed to be
for Cleveland, and who have been put
down that way, are now found to be ad-
herents of the Pennsylvania leader. Bay
ard is still the faVOrite, and if the South
ern delegates would stand by him, there
would be no question as to his nomination.
Doubtless a number of Southern dele
gates who say that they would like to
vote for him were he available are ac-
tive partisans of Cleveland or Randall.
These delegates don't want to come out
openly against the Delaware Senator. 1t
would not look we'll at home. If Bayard
is not nominated it will be the fault of
such delegates. Mcdonald and Thurman
are still urged by their friends, and in
the event of blockade one or the other
may slip into the Presidential harbOr.
The Georgia delegation to-day
named the following members for
positions; Patrick Walsh, member of the
National Executive Committee, Z. p.
ITawr oil Al
mittee on Credentials, w. L. Macarthur
on the Committee on Organization. A
canvass of the Georgia delegation shows
for Bayard IA, Randall6 and Cleveland 4.
TANINdANY AGAINST CLEVELAND.
The Tammany delegation held a five
hour caucus last night, and adjourned
at > O'Clock this morning. The senti-
ment was unanimous against Cleve-
land and for the most available candl-
date who they believed would be strong
est among the wOrkingmen of New York
State. Shortly after II O'Clock Ben But
Ter, leaning on his page, was escorted
through the Tammany crowd into John
kelly's private room, where a long con-
sultation occurred.
DELEGATIONS ORGANIZING.
The Georgia delegation was addressed
to-day by Gen. Faulkner, of New York,
who presented objections to Cleveland's
candidacy. A reply was made for Cleve-
land by Joseph Pulitzer, of the New York
World, who spoke at length and with
great earnestness. The impression ON the
delegation was favorable for Cleveland.
While there was no formal vote, it is un-
derstOOd that the vote of Georgia would
be cast for him.
Vermont instructed her Chairman to
cast the vote of that State for Cleveland.
The following State delegations in addi-
ton to Georgia mentioned above, COM
pleted their permanent organization to-
day, and the committeeman herewith
named will be reported to the convention
tomorrow:
Alabama-W. Peters, Chairman; L.
Pope Walker, member of the Committee
on Resolutions; ii. c. Tompkins, Creden-
tials; Joseph T. Johnston. Organization;
Q. l.. Scott, Vice President; John H.
Celsby, Secretary of the Committee; T.
Z. Clark Secretary of the convention. A
member of the National committee was
not chosen.
Tennessee-John T. House, Chairman;
II. j. Lynn, Secretary; Albert j. McNeel.
Platform; John Slack, Credentials; S. A.
Champion, Permanent Organization;
John L. Williams, Vice President.
Very few of the States which perfected
their organization to-day took test votes
as to their preferences. Pennsylvania is
known to be for Randall, Delaware for
Bayard and Indiana and Kentucky for
Mcdonald.
Iowa took a vote to-day, and on an in
formal ballot gave Cleveland q votes,
Bayard 3 and Tilden 2. One blank vote
was cast.
The California delegation held a session
last night, lasting five hours. Official in
formation was laid before the delegation
that Tilden would not accept the nOmina-
ION 1aee
ton, and that in that event he would pre-
fer not to receive it. Upon receipt of the
above information the California delega-
tiOn decided to throw its vote solid tor
Thurman, and selected Hon. j. w. Beckin-
ridge to present the name of Thurman to
the convention. Messrs. Curry and Eng
lish, who were sent East to interview
Tilden, returned last night before the
meeting of the California delegation was
held. Their arrival had been anxiously
awaited for several days by their Califor-
mia friends.
The Connecticut delegation this MORN
ing agreed to cast u votes for Cleveland.
A strong point is being made for JUS
tice Field. This is that his opinion in
cases involving constitutional questions
present sound Democratic doctrine as to
the limitation of the powers of the gov
ernment, and that his nomination would
attract a strong Republican vote.
North Carolina organized as follows:
Chairman, W. +. Dortch; Secretary, w.
G. Lamb; member of the Credentials
Committee, j. A. Brown; Resolutions.
]. S. Carr; Organization, NJ. I'll. Pinnix;
Vice President, +. E. ShOber; National
Committee, Hon. NJ. II. Ransom.
Virginia organized as follows: Chair
man, John S. Barbour; Secretary, Samuel
J. Graham; Resolutions, T. W. McKen-
ney; Organization, b. I'll. Nash; Vice
President, r. A. Ayres; National Com
mittee, John S. Barbour.
MASSACHUSETTS STAND.
Massachusetts, is solid for Butler, butin
the event of his defeat the delegation
would be divided evenly between Bayard,
Mcdonald and Thurman.
1t is contended that the split in the
Ohio delegation is in a measure healed.
The adherents of Thurman are making
this move, but il is claimed that Thur
man has twenty-five votes in the delega-
ton.
New Hampshire instructed its delegates
for Cleveland.
The Massachusetts delegation held a
meeting This afternoon which was adj
dressed by Gen. Butler, in which he said:
81 will support the nominee of this con-
vention, no matter whom he may be.''
The Ohio delegation met at 8 O'Clock
this morning. John r. Mclean was
unanimously chosen Chairman, r. S.
Shields member of the Committee on Gre
dentials, Durham Ward on Permanent
Organization. NJ. d. Shaw on Order and
Rules of Business. A fight then took
place on admitting j. o. Converse as the
proxy of l.. G Bernard. Mr.. Converse
was admitted by vote Of 26
to 10, victory for the Mclean
men. A. J. Warner and J. o. Converse
were nominated for member of the Com
mittee on Resolutions. Converse won by
26 to is. This shows the real strength OF
the two factions in the convention. w.
