WHEELING W. va MONDAY MORNING, JULY Z, 1884.

other daE Stores drive ahead with their
business saloons and billiard rooms are
open, and theatres are more patronized than
churches. No wonder they had big fire.
The only wonder is that it did not rain
brimstore. None of the West Virginia
delegation attended church because they
were late getting in, and because the recep-
ton committee had no one on hand to es-
cort them to church. Still Chicago is
A Big City,
and no other town in the Union could en-
tertain the immense throng assembled here
with the sane ease and with as much system
as this city Is doing. The big event to-day
was the arrival of Tammanys seven hun
dred braves this afternoon The local and
visiting clubs turned nut thousand stroug
to meet them at the depot. The procession
made an imposing scene, as it fled up the
street through the immense throngs Of peo-
pie, who seHt up cheer after cheer as it
moved alsng toward the Palmer House.
1t was demonstration that Kelly could be
proud Of The Cleveland Club from Albany
arrived sbepsa hour after and while .only,
numb ring loo made handsome appearance
and was greeted with cheers. II is most
gratifying to see the good feeling prevail
ing among the rival clubs. While each
Hooms its favorite candidate, they all ex-
press a willingness TO drop their man and
90 to the strong one when the emergency
arises. The prominent West Virginia ar
rivals to-day are Delegates Leonard,
Baker Thompson, Vanmeter, Beale, Wells,
Mcdonald, Lively and Mollahan. The dele
gates are all here, except Harlow and
Hereford Among the other West Vir-
giuians here as lockers on are Governor
jackson, Colonel White Hogg, of Mason,
Walker, of Kanawha, Woodford and Jackson,
of Lewis, RICE and UpdegralT Of Wheeling,
and Weston, of Marion. Our delegates are
quartered at the Palmer, except Van
meter, who is at the Pacific. The West
Virginia headquarters were visited to-day
BY a number of prominent gentlemen from
other State delegations and great deal of
attention and courtesy was shown our State.
The personel and intelligence Of our delega-
ton has been the subject of many compli-
mentary remarks.
Although small State, West Virginia in
Auence will be felt in the Convention, and
the utmost good feeling prevails among the
delegates. Col Campbell, of West Virginia,
member Of the National Committee, who
ought to have been here several days ago
has not arrived. Heis looked for tomorrow.
The Situation
may be briefly summed up as follows An
acrnast de5ra IN the mart nf all the dele
gates to get the strongest man, and will
inrness to make all concessions to secure
that point.
Cleveland will lead on the first ballot,
with not much prospect of reaching the two
thirds vote. The next highest possibilities
are Randall and Thurman. II the nomina-
ton is an emotional one then Thurman will
be the man. Fit is the result of Good delib-
GRAFTON, Randall will be the next President.

as the impression prevails that Kelly was
afraid to measure strength with him. Cleye-
land stock goes up as each new delegation
arrives. The South and West will go to
Cleveland solid unless it is demonstrated
that he cannot carry New York. 1t
was announced in the forenoon yesterday
that ten thousand working men would meet
Butler at the station and escort him to
the hotel. So it was surprise
to the crowd gathered in the Palmer House
lobby when the Cock-eyed quietly walked in
with grip sack in his hand and registered.
A curious crowd at once gathered about the
desk to get glimpse of the noted dema-
gogue. A Republican mounted the chair
and proposed three cheers for Butler. The
proposal fell fat as not half dozen voices
responded. With look of modification
Butler hurriedly stepped into the elevator
and shot up to his room. The sentiment is
announced among Democrats, that Butler
has no show for the nornfuSdons The be-
liefis prevalent that the attempted boom
given him is paid for out Of the
Blaine Campaign Fund.
About o'clock crowd Of several thou
sand people, curious to see Butler, assem-
bled in front of the Palmer House, and for
two hours bawled and shouted before But
Ter could be persuaded to come out. AT
last he was brought forward by delegation
of Socialists, and then the crowd commenc-
ed to cat-call, and for another hour kept up
cries of beast" spoons" and mingled
wells and Kisses. Butler stood with his
head bareo to the mob, and at last, when
the tumult had sufficiently subsided, at
tempted to speak. Just at that moment
two bands came up the street playing in
full chorus, and some body bearing ban.
ner with the inscriptions Dutch Gap" and
Lowell Speech. Again yells and Kisses
went up from the mob until Butler, from
exhaustion and in disgust disappeared in

at demonstration ever made. Even Chi

ing day or two in vain for call trom
the Senator, he again sent his card with
the intimation that he expected to be called
on. Bayard had an important case in the
Supreme Court at the time to which
his attention was so exclusively directed
that he didn't have time to devote to social
duties, and Mrs. Bayard being an invalid
the call was not made. Thereupon, Pulitzer
in his rage swore that he would yet have re
yenge upon Bayard for snubbing him. This
is the first opportunity he has had and is
making excellent use oft
1t does seem that a man can never attain
to such greatness that he loses entirely the
Foibles of childhood.
1t is thought that Tammany Hall, 10.
gether with the aid Of Butler, will kill of
Cleveland with Bayard, and will then desert
the Delaware statesman and help to nomi-
nate Mcdonald, with the understanding that
Tammany gets the Vice President. Their
choice is said to be VIM. R. Trayers, the
banker, who is Tammany delegate TO this
Convention, and who is already on the
ground getting his. hcks in against -Cleye-
land. When asked why they would not
name Mr.. Flower for the second place, l
was told by Tammsny chief that Travers
had bigger barrel than Flower, and was
man Of real ability, while Flower was moth
ing but scrub statesman.
Until the forces are all on the ground it
will be a difficult matter to tell how the
land laws. 1t is conceded by all factions
that if Tilden's name should be presented
to the convention he will 60 through with
whirl. But the friends of each candidate
claim to have an authoritative statement
from the Sage of Granercy Park that he
will not be candidate and that Tilden has
designated his particular candidate as the
real and only genuine legatee
The West-beyond the Mississippi-is
about evenly divided between Cleveland and
Thurman, but are willing to go 10 any man
that can
Carry New York.
The Tammany folks assert that it is impos
sible fol Cleveland to get the Irish Catholic
vote of New York If they can make this
statement apparent to the convention, that
will rule Cleveland out and will bring Bay
ard to the front as the foremost
Eastern candidate When Cleveland IS
out of the way New York will go
to Bayard and then Clevelands friends in
other State will probably go to a Western
man-either Hoadly or Mcdonald. A
Bayard manager told me to-day that his
honest opinion was that Hoadly could carry
Ohio, and if Bayard was dropped he would
light in that direction.
Chicago is doing her best to make things
pleasant and lively for the convention and
when Chicago tries herself everybody knows
that something on large scale will be
done. The crowd will be larger than at
the Republican Convention, and as AN cvi
dence Of that, room rent has doubled in
price, and yet good rooms are hard to get,
