"CLEvELAND AND THURMAN"
This Is Assur.dIy To Re the style Of the
Ticket Nominated.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, June Thurman will
be nominated for Vice-Preshlent without
a contest. Sunday night the supporters Of
Gov Gray were full of hope, but tonight
they admit TO their confidential friends
that the Thurman cyclone is sweeping
everything before it. They kept up
show OF fight during the day, calling on
the New York and other delegations and
repeating the speeches which were made
yesterday to the Caiiornians. A part Of
their tactics, too, was the wild, but rather
Intellectual shouting Of the Hendricks club
boys in the corridors Of the hotels They
hurrahed Justify for Gray, but made about
all the noise themselves. The Thurman
breeze developed into tornado when the
New York city delegations, county Democ-
racy and 1ammany marched through the
streets shouting for Thurman. The Tam
manyites were most loudly checred by the
throngs on the sidewalks and in the hotels,
and within half an hour the Tammany
men were busily engaged helping their
Pacific coast friends with red bandanas on
their coats. These Thurman emblems are
everywhere 10 be seen, and the nomina-
ton of Thurman is conceded on all sides.
Sunday night the friends Of Gov. Gray
were encouraged 10 believe that Congress
man Scott will not show his hand on the
vice-p presidency. They set much store by
the we'll authenticated statement that the
President had refused TO express any pref
erence. But Mr.. Scott " Is merely waiting
until he could fix up certain little matters
| which he had in hand, and this morning
| he gave the Thurman movement such u
! boost that the Indiana men were all about
to run off the field Scott persists in de-
/ claring that Thurman is not the admins
iration candidate, but adds that Thurman
| will be nominated because the party wants
him, and because he is the strongest can
didate. lie admits that Thurman is his
personal choice, but denies that the Presi-
dent is in any way committed 10 the
movement. Still, for all practical pur.
poses. the President might ~ well be com.

THE PENNSYLVANIA DELEGATION
held meeting this forenoon, and aftci
the adjournment the announcement wa
made that two-thirds OF the delegates from
the keystone State favored the old Roman
and that the minority would vote for hin
under the unit rule. This, OF course
meant that Scott had thrown his State 70
Thurman, aud when the fact became gen
orally known there was no longer an,
doubt Of the success Of SCOTS program
Following the news Of this action Of III
PENNSYLVANIA delegation came intelligcnc
that the Maryland delegation, who hav
all along opposed the Thurman idea, wcr
ready TO fall in and vote with the crowd
The meaning OF this was that Scott AM

agreement, and that the two great leader
OF the party were united ON n ticket SuI

a boom. but their efforts met with llttl
success, the general feeling being that
