| Delegates CrOSvdtns in OR Every Train | Chairman Moaning Of New York for 1 Tomorrow Night
 l CHICAGO, July 3.-The outward and wis., 1 ible signs of the near approach of the Dem
 ocratic national convention are fast increas-
 ing. The banners of the California and
 Nevada delegations float in the breeze. A band is footing patriotic airs under the win dows of the former, and the corridors of the Grand Pacific and Palmer are filled with the din of hundreds of voices, some calm and | argumentative, others more noisy and bois~ 1 terous. At the Palmer, Daniel Manning, ot New York, is in close confab with Dele ! gates Frank P. Helm and J. J. McGibben of Kentucky, and Dennis Spencer, chairman Of the Californians Over in another corner of l the corridor are Edward Cooper, Smith, w.
 Weed and Hubert O. Thompson. A large
 number of newspaper men are also upon the
 scene. The California delegation is in favor
 of Tilden and against Field and have
 opened headquarters thus early in order to
 carry on the anti-Field campaign as fast as delegates arrive. The object is to head off
 the effort in his behalf which a party of
 twenty or twenty-five of his friends who arrive here Friday will commence. Explain
 ing the peculiar and unusual opposition to g
 man who is not yet candidate, Mir. Miles
 Searles. one of the delegates, said: The Paci-
 fc slope people are at present engaged in
 war against monopoly as represented more
 particularly by the railroads. This war is
 resoIute and unrelenting, the people claiming
 that the railroad companies do not pay their
 taxes; that they getting possession
 of the country and will finally
 put their iron bound heel upon
 the necks of the citizsns. The
 Democratic party is arrayed against this
 enormous monopoly and endesvoring to
 overthrow it. Their entire efforts and am bi-
 tions are enlisted in the cause. Justice Field
 by his decisions has clearly shown that he is
 in sympathy with the monopslsts. That is sufficient to destroy any chance he may have as far as the Pacific coast is concerned. Add to this his position on the Chinese question,
 which is only second to that of anti-monop- oIy, and you have the cause of the opposi- tion to him which nothing overcome.
 Daniel Manning, chairman of the New York State committee, arrived at the Palmer this afternoon, accompanied by Edward Cooper, who is, with MT. Manning, dele. gate-as-large from New York, and dozen other Empire State Democrats, among whom M Weed, H O Thompson, Bleeck- CT Banks, John A Mccall.

 An-l, y4 ole 1IaA EIo Mir Manning is for Cleveland. He said that he did not come here with music and buster to nominate the Governor of New York. He came as Democrat who believed that the best interests of the party would be sub- served by CleveIand's nomination. He said that Cleveland had forty-eight or major ity of the delegation. This at least was his calculation. caucus of the New York delegates would be held Saturday night, when the matter wonld be definitely settled. "We do not propose to hold this caucus unless all the delegates are present." MT. Manning said. "We have no desire to take snap judgment. ''Is it not true that Mr. Flower has more strength among the delegates than Cleveland's friends have given him credit for?" was asked. "Mr. Flower has numbers of the delegation who will work to have him nominated. We have no objection to that, MT. Flower is a good 1 man, but we do not think he has as fair show of carrying New York Governor 1 Cleveland"
 Smith M. Weed said that he had been credited with being opposed to Cleveland, l but that he was not He regarded Mir. | Flower as an available man, but he was per sonally in favor of Mr. Cleveland. Mr Flowers chances were regarded by those on l the ground as having improved wonderfully. ] Large Autographs of Flower were to day | placed on the massive pillars of tho Grand | Pacific and the Palmer. Others were placed | in different hotels and his advance guard in | the Grand Pacific were other rwise bnsy pre- l pairing for the battle. Two thousand of 1 these pictures were printed and circulated
