CHICAGO. July 5.-The day has boon bright
and sunny. There has been hustle Of activity
at the hotels. The State delegations arc drap-
ing their parlors. and the friends OF the various
candidates. like honest shorkeepers. are doing
their best to exhibit their wares. Clsveiand's
friends have three immense parlors at the Pal
msr House. desisnated a. the headquarters Of
the New York delegation. A tinted llfe-slEo
photograph Of the Governor 10 swung over tho
main entrance. Scores Of Western delegates

Up to the decisive moment.
Meantime there are Indications that tho
Cleveland octopus IL running Its tentaoles into
the outlying States. The Indiana headQuar-
tern adjoins the New York headquarters. Many
Hoosiers have to-day dropped into Manning's
room. This has given rise to rumor that the
