NOTES, ZIG.
As tbs hour approaches for the meet
ing OF the convention. il il more app.r-
ent that the opponents of Cleveland will
make another attempt to break the
unH rule, and that upon that result they
count the chances of B4yard, Melon
aid OF Thurman as good or doubtful
In what form this test will come up will
depend upon the form of proceedings
todsy. The Cleveland managers we're
industriOusly at work all night. The
circular issued by the Young Mems
Democratic Climb of BROOKLYN Was again
pressed upon outside delegates. Ii urges
the nomination of Cleveland on account
of his availability. The independent
Republicans being attracted to him,
their support will be for the benefit of
the Democratic party. The delegates

fact to be carefully noted" say these
friends of Cleveland, "that the Repaid
lican revolt against Mr.. Blaine is CON-
posed for the most part of individuals
and journals who are in favor of tariff
reform" There are other Republicans
represented here, not considered bv
those q ntlemen. They are not free
traders, but are those WIN do not like
the sseesing tendency TO centraliz ltion
of Republicanism. The legal tender de-
cision is referred to as a cause for COM
plant and opinion Of Justice Field, as
well as his opinions on other cases in
volving questions Of local government.

The only demonstration in honor of
delegates entering the hall this morn
ing was made when the Ohio delega-
tioE. headed bv Senator Thurman, made
Its appearance. While it was making
its way to the portion of the hall as
signed To il, other delegates and the
spectators generally joined In doing
honor tn Mr.. Thurman, and many such
expressions were heard AZ " The nsblest
ID suiocrat of them all y de ought to

WashDurne, of Illinois, occupied seat
on the platform this morning next to
Senator Pendleton. of OHIO. Repre-
sentative Springer, of Illinois, WAS also

The following current rumors are ere
ating great excitement. 1t has been
ascertained from gentlemen occupyinR
confidential relations with many mem
bers of the New York delegation that
COMMUNICATIONS are now being exchang-
cd between Clevsland's followers in the
New York delegation aud his friends at
o,1 nit h..
view of all factions being united upon
the name Of some New York rnau and
the withdrawal of Cleveland. At p.
IN. MIR. j. Kelly Resolved a telegram
from a gentleman IN New York, oocu-
pying position of political trust In New
York city politics. inqulring whether the
name of Abram Hewitt wouid be receiv-
ed satisfactorily by Mr.. Kelly. No reply
has yet been made To this inquiry. But
coming from such a confidential source
it indicates that Cleveland's own friends
have suggested Hewitt's name. Mr..
Kelly ia represented ~ being no. un-
friendly TO Hewitt. Ii is said that the
Cleveland organizers sought half-hour
interview with General Batter this
morning and rendered him the position
of Secretary of the Treasury under
Cleveland, If he would come to Cleve-
lands support on the first ballot. Gen
eral Butler promptly replied that he
could not consent to hold cabinet pc
sition under man so unskilled in poll
tics as Mr.. Cleveland. In making his
reply to the overtures Buffers language
WAS more vigorous than elegant, but it
conveyed tie oontemptuous idea above
mentioned.
