CHICAGO, July 9th.-Thc field against Cleve-
land was the battle-cry last night and the
chances appeared stronger for the nomination.
of the New York candidate than ever before
| The situation was analogous to that of Tuesday
night preceding the nomination of Blaine. when
! the field was working against him. and the
| chances Tor successful opposition against
| Cleveland seem as good now as they were
| against Blaine then. The principal difficulty
in the way of nominating Cleveland on the see
Ond ballot seems TO be the rule requiring two
| thirds OF the delegates TO make the nomination
That Cleveland could secure majority without
difficulty is certain. Whether he viii be able to
get two-thirds is doubtful, with the Tammanv,
Mcdonald and Bayard men putting in their best
work to defeat him. They visited the head
quarters Of every Southern and Western State
and endeavored to persuade the delegates that
Cleveland cannot carry New York. Their work
thus far does not appear to have been attended
with success.

Thurman. 4 stump-Speech meeting was held
in the headquarters Of the Ohio delegation last
night, and committee waited on Mclean, who
was closeted with Ben Butler and invited him
to attend. He sent his regards. and said pri-
vately 70 the Thurman people that If to-day it
should appear that Thurman had majority of
the Buckeye state for his nomination.
