CHICAGO July = Exclusive. All day
long the crowd has continued to grow To-
night the jam is intolerable. Fortunately
the weather is not warm, and it is still pos
sible to live and move with some approach
to comfort. The West Virginia delegation
u.a, his morning and organized by electing
D. II. Leonard, Chairman. and &. F. Har-
low. Secretary. Vice President Of the cou-
vention Frank Hereford, Assistant Secre-
tary B. f. Harlow. Member of the Ma
tioral Executive Committee, Lewis Baker
Also the following members Of convention
committees: Credentials, W. MOllohan;
Permanent Organization, Geo W. Thomp-
son; Rules, W. f. Lively; Resolutions,
Henry G. Davis. The delegation
devoted nearly the entire afternoon to
hearing the Nav York clans on the merits
and dernerits on Governor Cleveland. They
logically conclude the discussion seems to
be that no man favored by the New YORK.
factions ought to bs nominated. The Tam
many mer are making fierce threats to
attempt the breaking Of the unit rule so as
to divide the New York vote on Governor
Cleveland. 1t is publicly stated that But
Ter and Kelly will join hands in making this
fight before the convention. On the other
hand as the New York delegation has de-
termined to cast the vote Of the State
for Cleveland, and by q vote Of g.
TO 5 has resolved to adhere % the unit rule
it would seem that any Giyision which
Tammapy may make 10y breaking that
rule would result in damaging exposure
OF Her Weakness.
The National Executive Committee met
this morning and selected Ex-Governor
Hubbard, Of Texas, ior temporary chair
man. The committee decided to recom-
mend 10 the convention that the rules of
last Democratic convention govern this
body until otherwise ordered subject to the
following modification: That in voting for
President and Y:ce-PreSident, no State
shall be allowed TO change its vote until the
roll OF States has been called, and every
State has cast its vote. The Territorial
delegations are making movement to
have the convention permit them to partlcl-
pate in the proceedings and vote in the Sc
lection Of candidates. They will probably
be allowed seats, but no votes. Ii IS under
stCDd that Judue Thurman has
Positively Declined
the permanent Craftsmanship. The boom
of the red bsndana has been officially
saunched. Johnny Mclean. of the En-
ouirer. has been given the Craftsmanship OF
the Ohio delegation and that State has
decided 10 present the name OF Allen q.
Thurman for the Presidential nomination
II is clear that this movement on the old
Romans behalf is the outcome OF demon
s,ra,ion in his favor that has grown with
everv hour since his arrival in this city.
His nomination will be made by California.
Tie charges have been rung on Bayard
Dover speech today in every quarter and
in all districts, but his creates. harm has
come from John keIlys open advocacy.
Mcdonald has not grown, but the dispOSi-
ton of some If his own people to knife him
has been made manifest Some of Hen
bricks friends have had no hesitation in
EeIttling NIcDonald's Claims,
while deprccating the necessity they were
under 10 vote for him. Butler travesty on
Presidential candidacy CONTINUES. The
convention is getting the least but weary OF
him and his side show and there Is talk OF
applving an eNtinguisher Randall IS
showing unexpected strength. Some lovers
of the picturesque have evolved the nOmlna-
ton of Randall and Morrison calling 1t the
ideal time Clevelands lead is still very
decided. The action Of New York has
helped him. Tammany Of itself has not
harmed him. His leaders are ablert
iairer and more efficient men
than his opponents They have
done him good service to-day. The terrible
two-thirds is the only obstacle. The plat
form fight continues to exist. There will be
no foOlishueSs on that point The extremes
have moderated their demands and there Is
now 4 fair prospect that q satisfactory result
will be reached without serious differences.
The Butler men are booming hin. to night
for Vice President with some Western man
nj the head. They are trying to attach
themselves to Thurman. THIS has been a
busy day with the wire pullers. The i'm
preston that the ticket nominated here wilt
win gives zeSt to the
Scramble for Place.
IF the head of the ticket goes east it looks
tonight ike Cleveland or Randall If it
goes west it Will be Thurman. Delegates
Hereford and Harlan came in on last nigh ;
train. Col Campbell arrived to-day. Mem
bers of the Jefferson club came in this morn
Jog in good trim. ssThe various visiting Gu S

Republicans in Chicago haze expressed a
determination to bolt Blaine and are watch
