OFFICIAL BULLETIN.

bricks As, Thurman 4, Mcdonald 2, Randall 4.
The nomination Of Cleveland was then made

CHICAGO, July Sat 1910 the convention
was called to order by ex-senator Barnum,
chairman of the Democratic national commit
tee.
Prayer was offered by Rev. D. c. Marquis,
Of the Northwestern Theological Seminary.
Hon. R. B. Hubbard, Of Texas, was chosen
for temporary chairman.
Frederick A. Prince was chosen temporary
secretary.
The rules Of the last Democratic convention
were adopted with slight modification.
After appointing committees on credentials
and resolutions, the convention adjourned to
II O'Clock Wednesday.
Tho Pioneer Press special dated the Sth says:
The field Of serious candidates is narrowing
rapidly. 1t Is reduced now to Cleveland and
Bayard. After the second ballot 1t will be re-
duced to Cleveland. That conclusion may as
we'll be accepted first as last. Cleveland is tho
Blaine of the convention. Like the Republi-
can candidate, he has all the organization, and
unlike him, lie has nearly all the votes, actual
or potential. The elimination of impossible
candidates has been rapid aud effective to-day.
Butler has gone to pieces. Thurman's candi-
dacy is shell which the pressure Of the first
ballot will crush. Pennsylvania is getting
ready to throw Randall overheard, and Nc
Donald's friends know in their Hoosier hearts
that he may cross himself in devout thankful
ness for his luck in getting second place. The
debris Of short-lived booms is piling up around
Rayard, who will get very handsome COM
plimentary vote on the first ballot and proba-
bly, one-fourth Of the convention on the second,
which will nominate Cleveland, or come so
near it as TO make the fourth mere matter of
form. Bayard's gains are partly tho fruit of
Tammany Vaccinations and partly spontane-
Gus, coming from the supporters Of eliminated
candidates whose second choice he is. They
come mainly from the South and East, though
there are some scattering accessions from the
West. His friends claim tonight III votes
sure on the first ballot and hope for 2OO They
may get 1t, hut they won't get the nomination
for him this year. Cleveland is the man of
destiny.
His friends say that the vote to maintain the
unit rule was pretty nearly test of Cleveland's
strength on the first ballot. In some States he
will have more votes, in others less. His sup
porters claimed for him last evening 44O votes
on the first ballot. On the second they expect
the Hoadly vote Of Ohio to the number Of at
least twenty, many Of McDonald's from Indi-
ana, and the solid vote of Wisconsin, West
Virginia, and other States. Then they think
they will start swing under which the States
will rapidly swing to Cleveland. II it does
not come Oh the second ballot they expect it
certainly on the third.
AT the present writing it appears almost Ger
tain that If Cleveland is nominated for Presi
dent Mcdonald will be chosen for the second
place on the ticket.
