Under the unit rule handful of politicians who
happen to obtain control of delegation can
throw all the votes of that delegation in favor of
their man, regardless of the wish Of them and
also choose the delegation We expect to over
throw the unit rule in the Convention.

BUCKLEY INTERVIEWED.
Your correspondent interviewed Buckley last
night. He emphatically denied that he favored
Field, but supported Thurman rs a member of
the stockton delegation. Thurman gets the
support of Kelly who preferred him or Field to

fight in the Convention would be on the propo-
sItion of Tammany. that one to bind the deega-
tions to the unit rule, but making it necessary to
have tWO-thir1S vote in the delegation the
same as that required of the whole Convention
to nominate President. Buckley thinks that

CATION will fail in its duty regarding the pledge
against Field
Field men are Systematically working 10
manufacture public opinion. Committees of
two and four are detailed for each delegation
from the other states, and they are working day
and night for their candidate. ON the other
hand the California delegation is doing little to
counteract the effects of that work. They are
not making an aggressive fight, but are enter
tanning various delegations at their headquar-
tiers. The Field workers cite this apathy as a
strong argument to back their statements They
say the majority of the California delegates are
at heart Field men, and at the first break, after
a few ballots will 90 over 10 Field. Canavan. of
Nevada has not arrived yet from New York
BAYARD AND THURMAN.
The kindly feeling manifested by the South
ern people for Bayard has undoubtedly cucour-
aged the friends of the Delaware Senator Perry
Belmont says that Bayard is gaining strength
hourly, and he only awaits the complete destruc-
tion OF Cleveland in order to step forward and
take the prize. Probably 5000 people have
called here this afternoon to pay their respects
to Thurman" said John G. Thompson his
1--WE are not pushing in the sense of
the word and do not think his name will be
formally presented to the Convention and if he
Is put in nomination it will be by one of the
members of the California delegation. They
insist that 1t Is their right to name Thurman |
and as they are instructed to vote for him their
claim appears to be Il Just one. My impression !
Is that 1t Is wiSest not to formally nominate |
Thurman, but to receive as many votes as he can
obtain, trusting, in the event of split that he
may be given the nomination"
How many votes will Cleveland receive from
Ohio II Thurman Is out of the way - asked /
your correspondent.
Possibly twenty. answered Thompson. me
Lean claims TO have majority of the delegates
for Hoadly. but don't think any one can tell
how the delegation stands till the vote is taken
Hendricks does not seem to be a great favorite
among the Northern delegation. He has re-
ceived quite an ovation from the Indiana peo-
pie, but the Democrats cannot help thinking
that If he had consented to accept the second
place on the ticket in 1850, Tlden would have
been nominated, and the result of the nomina-
ton might have been different. The Indianans
are working tooth and nail for Mcdonald. but
New York being in doubt, they fail to make
headway.'
