CHICAGO, ILL.,, July S.-The situation
to-day bears Il striking resemblance to
that on the day Of the meeting OF the Re-
publican Convention. Then 1t was the
field against Blaine, now it is the field
against Cleveland. But Cleveland nor
any other candidate is not so Loyalty fol-
lowed as was Blaine. The enthusiasm
and determination of the Blaine men to
stick to it until they won is not possessed
by the friends of any of the candidates
now. The great mass of the delegates
seem TO be willing to abandon their per-
sonal choice, and flock to the support of
the man whom they are persuaded can
win the fight The field is more scat
tered In this case, having no leader well
up toward the favorite, as was Arthur.
But here Is found prototype of
the June situation in that the OPP
position has votes enough to carry
the day, but is unable to concentrate
them. Though the lines are not closely
drawn, Cleveland seems to be the second
choice of enough OF the opposition to
give him the prize. The break is the
leaders, victory, and while Cleveland is not
Us sured of that persistent support sure
to carry him to victory like Blaine, he
has the benefit of strong belief in his own
success, as well as of the organized and
most resouceful management on the
ground.
The Mcdonald following is we'll
handled by men of experience after such
large game; but all the others, save
Cleveland, suffer from lack of intelligent
direction and coherency OF effort. Such
party leaders, organizers, creators and
winners rs Dan Morrison, w. H. Bar
mum, W. l.. Scott, w. c. Whitney, II. o.
Thompson, observation-disclosures Hill,
ex-senator Herman, Smith Weed, Colonel
Villas and score OF Others are In the
corps.
"The work goes on all the while, with
out display or noise, but effectively"
said Cleveland enthusiast, "not II point
has been missed so far. Dating back to
Saratoga, the omission of Instructions for
Cleveland was omitted in order to get
Kings County, and Kings was indis-
pensable. So instructions were omitted,
the unit rule was adopted, and Kings
turns right side up at Just the right mo-
men at Chicago"
Cleveland men are in high glee. They
claim the country will follow New York,
still the vote in the caucus yesterday was
not eIAtine to the Governors managers.
They expected more votes. 1t is claimed
however, that when balloting is reached
more than fifty, possibly tlfty-tlve of the
New York delegates will cast their votes
with the majority without protest.
Powerful influences are ut work to re-
duce the opposition. The Manning ma
chine, the Tilden sympathy, corps of
workers, some from other States are
creating q pressure hard to withstand
More than all these is the greater influence
OF the belief that Cleveland will win.
This peryades all elements, and Expresses
the New Workers who are opposing the
New York candidate.
1t was declared again to-day that Mr..
Kaliy has decided to appeal to the Con-
venrion 10 abrogate the unit rule, and
that he VIII make a strong effort to rally
the opposition on this technical point,
Asd by holding out AL opportunity 10 the
held TO make the unit rule stand synony-
nous with the favorite and beat him
with it, aud enlist the cooperation of
men ct heart against the movement. This
scheme offers large possibilities, and it is

more injury to Cleveland than the defeat
of Clayton did to Blaine Blaine suffered
nothing but loss OF moral strength and
senporary check TO the confidence OF
his followers. Cleveland, on the
other hand, would lose about twenty
votes, and those from his own State.
The result, were 1t possible, say anti
Cleveland men, would certainly result in
the Governors overthrow
Cleveland men say the project is impos-
sable. They say the sentiment of the
Convention Is against any such interior
aAce with the internal affairs of New
York in kelly's interest. Moreover, II is
argued, If Cleveland starts in the race
With less than majority of the delegates,
there are other elements which cannot
loaa In this crusade against the unit rule
for obvious reasons. The Mcdonald

chances for second place. The sixty votes
