vi, DuJ SLOWLY. u HuluDoI VI oCdIICi
ing delegates have arrived from dis
tant points, and one solid delegation
that of California-are here, but a
yet things in the local political world
are comparatively quiet.
The subcommittee on arrange
ments of the national convention
have been hard at work here for tn
past week; but, so tar, thei
ldbors have been in the di
rection of arranging and perfectlDe
the innumerable details of tn,
convention. The changes in the hal
are all but completed, and it is expect
ed that the theatre chairs for the del
gates and other seats, will be put int
position tonight, 1t has been deci
ded to light the hall with electricity
which will not only illuminate thu
building better. but also insure +;
much cooler atmosphere.
w. Ii. Barnum, chairmanOf the ma
tional committee, did not arrive, to
day, as was expected, but he will bt
here in the morning.
Among the passengers on the New
York limited express, which came to-
day, were ID. j. Manning, chairman of
the New York state committee, &C
companied by Edward cooper and a
dozen other empire state democrats
among whom are two delegates. Mr.
Manning said that he did not come
here with music and buster to nomi
nate Cleveland, but he came as DEM
ocrat. He believed that the best in
terests of the party would be sub.
served by Mr.. CleV Glands nominations
According to Mr.. Manning's calcula-
tionS Cleveland will have AZ and a
majority of the New Y ork delegation.
An important caucus of the New
York delegation will be held Saturday
night, at which Cleveland's strength
will be actually determined. Refer
ring to this proposed meeting Mr.. Man.
ming said: 1--WE do not propose to
hold this caucus, unless all the dele
Ates are present. We have no desire
to take snap judgment. Mr.. Flower
has number of delegates who will
work to have him nominated.
We have no objection to that. Flower
is a good man, but we do not think
he has as fair show for carrying
New York as Cleveland has.
The California delegation brought
word that from fifteen to twenty
prominent California democrats would
be here Saturday, open labor at their
headquarters, and work in the inter-
est of Justice Field. The California
delegates themselves, however, have
campaign against Field. Their
best efforts will be given to secure
the nomination of Mr.. Tilden, in spite
of his letter; but if that should be
impossible, they will work and vote
as a unit for Thurman.
The national subcommittee request
that as soon as the various delega-
GIons have perfected organization,
7they will send a list of their chair
man, vlce-president, and committee
N zen, to the national committee rooms
Mt the Palmer house, and it is re-
UnaS, I'll that such notification be sent
in as ca. -iy as possible.
