of SATURDAY. night occurred. The
crowds in The street soon become SO

CHICAGO, july 8.-Whateyer may
have been the intention or lnStruc-
tions of the California delegation
when they met,there was no doubt af-
ter to-tiay's proceedings that the dele
gates made a very favorable impress
sion upon the general public and a
decided one upon the delegates at the
convention. The distinguished dele
gates from California, Messrs. Turpey
and Clunie, were the first to arrive at
the Palmer House and pay their re-
spects to the Ohio delegation. The
room was crowded by people from all
the states. the Ohio delegation being
one Of the centres of attraction. On
a general call Mr.. Turpey mounted
one of the largest chairs and said that
il the OHIO people would abandon the
candidacy of Mr.. IIoadly and would
accept in his place Mr.. Thurman. OF
the same state, the Pacific coast
would guarantee to him the solid
demo ratio vote and victory, which
he believed would not only cover the
contracted Confines Of California, but
the entire union. He further said
that he had no doubt that the state of
New York would give a majority for
Mr.. Thurman Of 10000 votes over
every other candidate that could be
PROPOSED, and said, in conclusion, that
with Humans candidacy the demo-
cratic party cannot be beaten. Mr..
Clinic and his fellow delegates spoke
briefly, in the course of which he sup
ported the statements by his col
league. emphasizing ali the main pro-
positions which Mr.. Turpey had
made, and closing by saying that
there was no one in his hearing who
did not feel an instructive desire to
shout Thurman" at all hazards and
risk the cost. Tonight the CaIifOr-
MIA delegation have been active
workers among many other delega-
tons. especially from the south,
where there seems to be a disposition
support Thurman in the place of
Cleveland. Especially is this the
case since the wrangle in the conven-
ton to-day. Tie California, Nevada
and Oregon delegations will each hold
a caucus early In the morning, but
the exact object is not known.
CHICAGO, July 8.-The night passed
very quietly at the hotels in cOmpar-
ison to the crush and confusion of the
ote preceding. The multitude in and
about the various headquart. IS Was
still ingress and egresS were
possible, which was barely true Of
the night preceding. Caucussing,
WAS what appeared to be a final rally
against the Cleveland host. which
tonight that victory was
in sight. Numerous and con- |
fictiug rLmors were floating about.
but they all resolved themselves into
the fact that it was only the field
Cleveland. with opposition |
leaders devlsing plans to consolidate
the scattering votes for some n as
against the governor Of New York. !
Last night the Bayard boom took
on unnistakable proportions, but
considerable Of his strength de-
him to-day and then a move
was made in the direction Of Thur
man. Il is we'll KNOWN that the Ohio
has been divided and a
strong effort was made tonight to
consolidate its vote tor Thurman On
l promise that Massachusetts and a
considerable portion of the south and
west would rally tn bis support. II
claimed that IA telegram was sent to
Gov. HoadIy, asking him hot to
stand in the way OF Thurman, who
low had all opportunity for a fair
ace. Mr.. Mclean is being urged 10
he same end, and Gov. Butler sought
him Tut tonight aud had a long con-
'ultation with him, it is supposed to
his end.
