suIt for or against Cleveland, of the Iammany
,peeches against him. While they encouraged the
managers of the other candidates who are toI
ranvtbiDq TO beat Cleveland and whi'e they
frightened some of his weak-kneed anu nan
hearted supporters away from him. they Al lhe
same time aroused feelings Of disgust ano lhu1g
patlon in the minds Of many delegates
who take into account the possibility OF
rrobabihty that Cleveland may after al
BE- the nominee, and If so, that the strong aIgu-
IoeDts against the nomination viii be equally eject
i've against his election. The Cleveland managers
have been keenly disappointed 10 find that his
beirship to the Tiden political estate, which no.
bodv now seems 10 care to dispute, has brought
Cleveland so few votes from the States which hau
instructed their delegates 70 support Illden. Inc
ind ference which Is exhibited n the convention %
al allusions 10 the sage Of Greystone' y Is 2 sad
surprise to the Cleveland managers.
MpONIDs FRIENDS STILL HOPEFUL
The Mcdonald men drew some comfort from the
dav's proceedings, although the speeches IN which
his name was formally entered for the suiirages
of the delegates were by no means inspTitlng
Es friends deuend Oh three things for his success
First. thev say IL Is already pretty clear that
Cleveland will never DC able 10 get tWO-tlII'4s
cf the convention; and that II he 1aIis
NJ o-Ler Eastern man can win. Secondly, II the
roui.uarion comes West, IL VIII surely fall to
Mcdonald as against Thurman, on account OF the
hot opposition 10 the latter IN his state where an
October election is 70 be held h.rdly, they clam

four hours from the ranks OF DotA the Cle'eAiAu

EANuAILs PROSPECTS TIGHTENING.
The arrival Of Mr.. Randall tlis morning
greatly encouraged his friends who went
- work with more zeal than
ever. They concluded 70 play the role oi
'ever7body's friend with considerable sue
cess. and tonight they felt greatly elated
over the situation and prospects. They de-
clare that the proceedings Of to-day put
Cleveland out Of the race ~; that Bayari Is
out OF the question; that Thurman will be
stabbed to death in his own delegation; that
Mcdonald can never win'i and that
Randall is the only man whose nomi-
nation can restore harmony and save the
Democratic party" They not making pig
claims Of votes on the first ballot but declare that
they will be content TO await the sober second
thought Of delegates who are sincerely ANXIOUS

ceived many visits from bis confidential friends and
supporters who received and carried out his in

contest his friends have strong hopes that he " III
