CHICAGO, July 0.-The Indiana head
quarters, both at tho Palmer house and
the Grand Pacific hotel, were scenes Of
activity last night. Indiana was ono Of
tho few states that cast her vote sold
yesterday afternoon on the unit rule
amendment. Her thirty votes werc re-
corded yea in favor OF abolishing the unit
rule. In explanation OF this vote, tho dele
gates say tho motive of Indiana was to
break the unit rule, 50 as to weaken
Cleveland in his own state, and scatter
his votes. The Indiana delegation arc
confident that Mcdonald Is growing in
strength, but evidences are obtanabo that
the delegation is keeping in vow the sec
oud place on the ticket, in caSD they fail
for first place.
After sitting till past midnight, the
Illinois caucus adjourned without reach
ing a final decision The vote on prosi q.
dental preference stood Cleveland II, Mo
Donald l2, Bayard .. In regard to tho
voto on the unit rule 10 tho convention,
Gen. Block, Of Illinois, said he thought IL
was made up Of four elements. First,
nearly all Of Clovoland's strength second,
q lingering sentiment of states rights, as
indicated in the South Carolina vote A.;
third, tho power Of tho machiDcI; fourth,
disposition TO refuse any demand mado
by Kolly.
Uooms for Individual Candidates
As the hour approaches for tho meeting
OF the convention, it is moro apparent that
tho opponents Of Cleveland will make
another attempt to break the unit rule and
hat hn ,Nft 10 h., . I,a
chances of Bayard, Mcdonald or Thurman.
In what form this test will como up will
depend upon tho form Of the proceedings
of TO day.
The Cleveland managers were industri-
ously at work all night. a circular issued
by tho Young Mems Democratic club, of
Brooklyn, was again pressed upon the
attention of the outside delegates. 1t
urges the nomination of Cleveland oa
account Of his availability with Indcpen-
dent Republicans, who will DO attracted
to him. Their support will be for the
benefit OF the Democratic party. The
delegates are further advised that for the
support of these Republicans, it is ncces
sary to have plank in the platform favor
ing revenue reform.
It is fact to be carefully noted, say
those friends of Cleveland, that the Re
publican revolt tagains. Blaine is composed
for the most part, OF individuals and jour.
uals tha. are in favor OF tariff reform,
There are other Republicans represented
here not considered by these gentlemen.
They are not free traders, but those who
DO not ike the sweeping tendency TO Gen.
trSIization of Republcanism, The legal
tender decision is referred to as cause for
complaint, the opinion of Justice Field in
this case and hts opinion in other cases
involving questions Of local government
These men are favorable tu Justice
Field and have made q sGrong impression
in behalf Of that gentleman. Very judi.
Ciouo work has been done FOR Mr.. Field
and if the instructions 0! the California
delegation did not stand in the way, the
denomination iu his bahalt would be very
pronounced.
Tho enthusiasm shown for eX Senate
Thurman yesterday encourages many ir
tho hOpo that he may faally be GcleCted a
compromise candidate, Nothing can bt
used against him." say they. The Cali
tOrnilLs are very demOnstratIve in pushing
his candidacy, and if Ohio were 4 unit fo
him and equally as serious, ho would b,
very formidable One of the features o
the morning on tho streets and in the
neighborhCOd Of the convention hall was
tho appearance in large numbers OF blazing
red bandana handkerchief3 ostentatiously
displayed and by appearances OF Senator
Thurman on tops Of walking sticks or IL
the hands. Tho Thurman boom ia to bo
pushed to-day.
