THE THURMAN BOOM
The entire California delegation
visited the Ohio headquarters, and
Mr.. Turply, of California, speaking
for his state, said that if the Ohio
people would abandon the candidacy
of Mr.. Hoadley, and would accept in
his place Mr.. Thurman, the Pacific
coast would guarantee 10 him solid
democratic vote anu victory, which
he believed, would not only include
Carolina, but the entire union.
PLATFORM COMMITTEE.
CHICAGO, July 8.-The committee
on platform of the national demo-
cratic convention met IN the parlor of
the Iroquois club, to-day, at $50,
thirty six members being present.
Mr.. Malcolm Hay, of Pittsburg, was
made temporary chairman, and VIM.
r. Morrison, of Illinois, was nomi-
mated for permanent chairman of the
committee on resolutions by the tariff
reform members, and Geo. L. Converse
of Ohio, by the protection element.
A ballot was taken on the nomina-
tions, which resulted in 18 votes for
Morrison, against IS for Converse.
This tie yo.z Z used something of
sensation among the members, and
another ballot was ordered, which re-
suited exactly in the same way. 1t
being apparent that there was dead
lock in the committee, it was agreed
that the temporary chairman
should act as chairman during the
formation of the platform, but
that when the work was done
the committee should elect a perma-
nent chairman whose duty it would
be to present their resolutions to the
convention. A chat with members of
the anti tariff faction of the commit
tee, elected the information that the
representatives of the states of North
Carolinr, Alabama, Mississippi and
Missouri, had voted for Converse.
The anti-tariff people had relied upon
these votes and had expected that,
with a full committee, the votes
would stand fifteen TO twenty
three in favor of Morrison.
CASUAL NOTES.
The night passed quietly at the
hotels in comparison to the crush and
confusion of the preceding. The null
titude in and about the various
quarters was large; still ingress and
egress was possible, which was hardly
true of the night preceding. The
caucusing, however, went on as usual,
and there was what appeared to be a
final rally against the Cleveland
hosts, which claimed tonight
that victory was clearly in
clio
rumors were floating abont, but all
resolved themselves into the fact that
it is only the field against Cleveland,
with the opposition leaders devising
plans to consolidate the scattering
vote for some one as against the COVER
nor of New York.
Last night the Bayard boom took
unmistakable proportions, but consid.-
erable nf his strength deserted him
to-day, aad then move was made in
the direction of Thurman.
THURMAN AND ANTI-THURMAN.
1t is well known that the Ohio del
egation is divided and strong effort
was made tonight to consolidate
It's vote for Thurman, on the promise
that Massachusetts and a considerable
portion of the south and west would
rally to his support. 1t is claimed
that telegram was senti to Gov.
Hoadly, asking him not to stand inthe
way of Thurman, who now had the
opportunity for a fair race, and Mr..
Mclean being urged to the same end,
GOV. BUTLER
sought out Mr.. Mclean tonight, and
had a long consultation with him, it
is supposed to this end,
With the exception of Maryland, it
could not be ascertained that any seri-
Gus defectiod had occurred in the
column of the southern states, which
had hither declared an adherence to
the Bayard movement. Maryland
decided by majority of five, to vote
as unit, on the second blllot for
Cleveland. 1t was stated, in very
positive way, however, that the en-
couragement which the Thurman
movement had received would impel
his formal nomiaation, and that the
speech would be made by
General Breckenridge of New York.
The Ohio headquarters at the Palmer
house, tonight. presented scene of
excitement growing out of this fact.
The spacious rooms were crowded to
suffocation, the speakers rapidly fol-
lowing one another.
The faction quarrell between the
Thurman and anti-Thurman factions,
to all outward appearance is becoming
more intensely bitter than when the
delegates first arrived. At least a
dozen Ohio Cs.egates declare openly
