The enthusiasm shown for ex-senator
Thurman yesterday encourages many in
the hope that he may be finally selected
as a compromise candidate. Nothing can
be urged against him, say they. The Cal
I liornlans are yerydemonstrative in push
1 ing his candidacy, and If Ohio were
united for him and equally as jealous he
1 would be very formidable.
The Indiana delegation are confident that
McDonald Is growing IN strength. but evil
aences are obtainable that the delegation is
I keeping in view the second place on the
tleAet IN case they fail for the arst place.
HOW ILLINOIS FRLT.
After sitting till past midnight the Illinois
caucus adjourned without reaching final
decision. The vote on Presidential prefer
enees stood-Cleyeland IL, Mcdonald ~ and
Bayard 2. In regard 10 the vote on the unit
rule in the convention, Gen. Black, of illinois,
SAID that he thought that il was made up OF
four ellen ents. First. nearly all of Cleveland's
strength. Second, the lingering sentiment OF
states rights as indicated IN South Cardinals
vote. Third, the power of the machine; and
tourth, a disposition to refuse any demand
made by Kelly.
KELLY ON THE WAR PATH.
Last night and this morning an immense
amount OF work was done by John Kelly and
his men. The actual results of yesterdays
hiOustering they claim 10 be a decrease in the
total vote OF Cleveland of at least fifty votes.
anu perhaps more. The opposition hold that
any method that can stave OF ballot on
the Presidential nominee is sure
70 be disastrous to Clevelandis chances. 1t
gives the other candidates chance 70 figure.
At noon yesterday, the managers Of the field
against Cleveland say, Cleveland's greatest
strength was reached.
CLEvELAND's CLAIMS.
Cleveland enjoyed strong boom after the
defeat Of the New York delegation, but the
vote on Grady's amendment yesterday is
capable OF several interpretations. The
Cleveland men claim of course that it showed
only portion OF the New York Governors
real strength
Donald,on the other hand, say that Cleveland's
actual strength is at least 100 short of the 46s
votes cast against the amendment. Many be-
neve that these 100 votes, or very large pro-
Verted to position against the unit rule.
HOW TEXAS WILL GO.
The Texas headquarters, at the Grand Pa
clhc Hotel, was largely visited last night.
Gov. Hubbard, Temporary Chairman OF the
convention, stood at one end of the room
while hundred delegates and visitors, in-
cluding many ladies, passed through and were
presented TO HIM. Towards 10 O'Clock the
rooms were so crowded that admittance was
refused. Daniel Manning and Delegate Fell
lows, of New York, addressed the delegates
in behalf of Cleveland, making strong appeals |
for their candidate. Senator Lamar made
snort speech IN reply dwelling upon the inter
ests of the South. No formal vote of the Texas |
delegation has been taken, but careful inquiry |
last night indicated that Bayard had 49, |
Cleveland 4, and White 4. The delegates |
frankly admit that they are undecided. It is |
not believed that Texas viii vote as unit. |
for the reason that the recent State Conven- |
tion at Forth Worth abolished the two thirds |
rule in the State and county matters and |
hence the delegation does not feel warranted /
IN exercising the majority rule to invoke a /
solid vote in the convention. Temporary /
Chairman Hubbard's vote in his delegation /
was recorded in favor Of sustaining the unit /
rule. After Bayard, Texas is almost unani-
nous for Thurman.
