CHICAGO, July 9-The drift OF the convention
opinion this morning continues to be largely
In favor OF Cleveland, and his nomination is pre-
dicted on the second or third ballot His canvass
shows vote OF 44 on the first ballot, which
more than majority, and that the required two
thirds will be secured on the other ballot. While
there is a very decided sentiment outside OF Tam
many Hall that Cleveland is not strong nomina-
ton, 1T seems quite impossible to make any conf
bination on any other candidate. The most un-
ceasing efforts have been made up to the meeting
OF the convention to-day to increase the vote OF
Bayard, but without avail The southern delega-
tons are all well disposed, but do not want to be
placed In the attitude OF naming candidate from
that section. II some northern state would nOnli-
nate him he could get two-thirds Of the south, but
every effort in that direction has also failed, and
Thurman is now urged as compromise candidate,
but the Ohio delegation are not unanimous and his
name will hardly be presented to the convention.
The Indiana vote, too Will go TO Cleveland In pref
erence to Thurman when Mcdonald is out or the
way. The dark horses do not enter into the con-
test at all While Cleveland goes into the cOnven-
ton ahead OF all competitors there is no change In
the warfare against him under the leadership OF
Kelly. he latter last night and this morning has
received telegrams from all portions OF New York
including many labor organizations, stating that
IF CLEVELAND Is NOMINATED THEY WILL VOTE FoR
BLAINE.
circular newspaper sheet, with q flaming head,
Make no mistake" has been issued by the delega-
ton from Rochester, n. Y, and widely distributed
this morning. 1t claims among other things, that
Cleveland would lose at least 1000 votes IN Gen
essee county, and charges him with af1iiaton with
repu bncans with personal appointments and Sci
fshness generally.
KELLY SAYS If CLEVELAND is NOMINATED he WILL
BE BEATEN IN NEW YORK BY $4,000 VOTES
The Tammany hall people are not so Wild this
morning as they were after their defeat yesterday
and have about made up their minds not to bolt
the nomination OF Cleveland. though 1t Is quite
the last moment decide to leave the New York del
egatlon. II is pretty evident that they Will not 60

asked this morning I" what he intended to dO' He
said, "W What Tammany Will do next requires con-
sideratiOn and conference, and the answer cannot
be given to the public now. II Cleveland is the
nominee Of the party, however, he will be beaten
in New York state by $1,000 votes, that know.
The issue In New York now is that in which the
labOring man is interested, and must be considered
In the choice OF the convention. Labor gives the
democratic vote in New York, and it is clear that
they will go for and support Blaine with great vigor

their strength with candidate OF the labor party.

vention when the vote OF New York Is cast for
sufficient cause now to withdraw. To disfranchise
the strong democratic counties OF New York, and
allow the republican counties to control the dele

AN EQUAL RIGHTS FOR CoLoRED MEN FLANK WANTED.

as am personally concerned said he In explain
ing his trouble, 81 don't think there is any political
party that can disturb our rights But for the pur-
pose OF aaying all fears in the minds OF the cOOred

which will guarantee that the rights OF the negro
ment, he went on 10 say based the fact that
the Supreme Court has declared the civil rights bill,
passed by the republican party, unconstitutional,
null and void.
CHARGES THAT M'DoNALD HAS BEEN SOLD OUT
Some OF the Indiana people say that Mcdonald
has ben sold out In the Indiana delegation. He
las never been honestly pressed for first place. SO
there could be ralying point for the anti -Cleve-
lard forces. He has been constantly pressed by
his so-caied friends for the second place. This,

tiOn was an absolute necessity for his support.
Those VINO know Mcdonald best say that the bad
management or his case here is wholly to be at

GEN. BUTLER NOT A CANDIDATE.
Gen. Butter formally withdrew as a candidate
this morning and notified the Massachusetts Is
