THE CONVENTION.
CHICAGO, July 9.-As the hour ap-
nroaches for the meeting of the con"
vention, it is more apparent that the
onponents of Cleveland will MAKE
another attempt to break the unit
rule. and that upon the result of this
thew count the chances of Bayard,
McDonOld or Sherman as good or
doubtful. In what form this test
will come up will depend upon the
form of proceedings to-day The
Cleveland managers were indus
triously at work all night. The cir
cular issued by the Young Mems
Democratic club of Brooklyn was
sgain pressed upon the attention of
outside delegates. 1t urges ,he nom
nation of Cleveland on account OF
his availability. The independent
Republicans being attracted to him,
their support will be for the benefit
of the Democratic party. The dele
gates are further advised. that In or
der to insure the support Of the Re-
publicaDs it Is necessary to have
plank In the platform favorlng rev.
erl,e reform. 1t is fact to be care.
fully noted, say these friends of
Cleveland, that the Republican re-
volt against Mr.. Blaine is composed
for the most part of individuals and
Journals who favor tariff re-
form. There are other Republicans
represented here not considered by
these gentlemen. They are not free
traders, but are those who don't like
the sweeping tendency to centraliza-
tioa OF Republicanism. The legal
tender decision is referred to as cause
for complaint. The opinion OF JUS
tice Field in this case, and bis 0pln-
ion on other cases involving the
question of local government, are
spoken If by those men who are fav-
orable to Justice Field, an6 they
have strong Impression in be-
half of that gentleman. Very judi
cious work has been done for Mr..
F, ,eld, and if the instructions OF the
California delegation did not stand
in the way, the dem0nstratloh
in his behalf would be more
pronounced The enthusiasm shown
for ex-senator Thurman yesterday
encourages many IN the hope that ne
NAV finally he selected rs com>
promise candidate. Nothing can be
urged against him they tay. me
CaI,fornians are very demonstrating
and are pushing his candidacy. and
if Ohio we're united for him and as
equally Jealous he would be very for
midable.
The platform committee met AZ
lO:3O and for the first time secured q
full attendance. Heretofore General
Butler and two others have ahsented
themselves. The revenue lefOrmers
express more confidence this mOrn-
ing of their ability to secure plank
in favor of reform. They claim thst
A division will show 20 for and lS
against.
