Chicago, LII, July 3.--The situation
to-day bears striking resemblance to
that on the day OF the meeting of the Re-
publican Convention. Then it was tho
field against Blaine, now it is the field
against Cleveland. But Cleveland nor
any other candidate is not so Loyalty fol-
lowed as was Blailc. The enthusiasm
and determination Of the Blaine men to
stick to it until they won is not possessed
by the friends Of any of the candidates
now. The great mass Of the delegates
seem TO be willing to abandon their per-
sunal choice, and dock to the support of
tie man whom they are persuaded can
win the fight, The field is more scat
tered in this case, having 10 leader well
up toward the iayorite, as was Arthur
But here is found prototype Of
position has votes enough to carry
tn day, but is unable to concentrate
them. Though the lines are not closely
drawn, Cleveland seems to be the second
choice Of enough OF the opposition to
give him the prize The break +, the
leaders victory, and while Cleveland is not
a >ured Of that persistent support sure
to carry him to victory like Blaine, ho
has the benefit OF a strong belief in his own
success, as well as of the organized and
most rcsouceiul management on the
ground.

handled by men of experience after such
large game; but all the others, say0
Cleveland, suffer from lack of intelligent
direction and coherency of effort Such
party leaders, organizers, creators and
winners as Dan Morrison, W. II. Bar
mum, W. L. Scott, w. c. Whitney, II. o.
Thompson, Lieutenant-G Governor Hill,
ex-senator Herman, Smith Weed, Colonel
Villas and a score of others are in tho
corps.
"Thc work goes on all the while, with
out display or noise, but effectively"
said Cleveland enthusiast, "not point
has been missed SO far. Dating back to
Saratoga the omlssion'of instructions fot
Cleveland was omitted in order to get
Kings County, and Kings was indis.
pensable. SO instructions were omitted
the unit rule was adopted, and Kings
turns right side up at just the right mo-
men at Chicago"
Cleveland men are in high glee. They
claim the country will follow New York,
still the vote in the caucus yesterday was
not elating to the Governors managers.
They expected more votes. 1t is claimed
however, that when balloting is reached
more than fifty, possibly tiftY-tve of the
New York delegates will cast their votes
with the ma ority without protest.
Powerful influences are at work to re-
duce the opposition. The Manning ma
chine, the Tilden sympathy, corps of
workers, some from other States, are
creating pressure hard to withstand.
More than all these is the greater influence
of the belief that Cleveland will win.
This pervades all elements, and Expresses
the New Workers who are opposing the
New York candidate.
1t was declared again to-day that Mr..
Kelly has decided to appeal To the Con-
vention to abrogate the unit rule, and
that he will make strong effort to rally
the opposition on this technical point,
and by holding out an opportunity to the
field to make the unit rule stand synony-
nous with the fayorite and beat him
with it, and enlist the cooperation of
men at heart against the movement. This
scheme offers large possibilities, and it is
conceded that its success would mean
more injury to Cleveland than the defeat
of Clayton did to Blaine. Blaine suffered
nothing but 4 loss of moral strength and
temporary check to the confidence of
his followers. Cleveland, on the
other hand, would lose about twenty
votes, and those from his own State.
The result, were it possible, say anti
| Cleveland men, would certainly result in
| the Governors overthrow.
Cleveland men say the project is impos-
siblo, They say the sentiment of the
| Convention is against any such interior
ence with the internal affairs OF New
| York In kcly's interest. Moreover, it is
argued, If Cleveland starts in the race
with less than ma ority of the delegates,
there are other elements which cannot
