JURY, CONN.,, MONDAY, JJ will b. on the ground sometime ,hi. after. noon. HsSsx
 Tammany Hall was received by the. Hon. dricl,s club and escorted to it's quarters, The Cook county Democracy and the Iriuuois club and the Jackson league, of Chicago, will be met by the Vest club and escorted to the Lindeil hotel.
 Hon. William R. Morrison, who heads the Illinois sles sation, was surrounded by large group of Washington correspondents at the Southern hall, all of whom greeted him cor dially, and, after discussing the situation, asked his opinion regarding the probable nomination. for vice president The colonel replied that he had not gotten that far along. and until he found out what was going or he could not venture an opinion
 Chairman Barnum, of the National com mittce, is very careful not to commit himself on thc vice presidency. He thinks that the tariff plank of 1884 would do very well this year.
 Senntor German is said to agree with bim on this question, but tho indications point to an ultimate agreement to thoroughly indoi:-e the policy laid down in the presidents message.
 Hon. W. L. Scott. of Pennsylvania. has little to say respecting the platform, but 1t is very evident that he expects the adoption of a plank based specifically on tho presidents message He apparently does not think it will be good policy to indorse the Mills bill in so many words at this time, especially as that measure has been materially amended since it came from the committee and since it was so emphatically indorsed by the Demo- cratic conventions of Pennsylvania.
 MT. J. w. Dorsey. a prominent Nevada mine owner, is of the opinion that failure on the part of the convention to protect tue in. terests of the silver men on the Pacific slope will cost the party thousands of votes, us in his opinion the Republicans will insert free coinage plank in their platform
 Delegate Lyons, one of Colorado's cattle kings, hearing remark to this effect made by Mir. Dorsey, retorted:
 'lt's mighty little chance we'll get at that platform. Bill Scott has it jn his grip. The people in the east seem to think that we are incapable Of taking care of ourselves or of knowing our own wants. k"
 One of the friends of Gen. Black, the commissioner of pensions, states that that gentlemans name will be presented for vice president by MT. John Patterson, of Color ado, the brilliant orator who recently made a speech at the Iroquois club banquet at Chi cago, and the nomination will be seconded by Gen. Sims, a crippled ex-Confederate of Mississippi. =
 It is question, however, whether the names of either Black or Stevenson will be presented to the convention. Little or noth- ing is being heard of the candidacy of either Mayor Ames, of Minneapolis, who is here with few of the delegates from Minnesota, fl advance of the general party, is working f,,av <I,a$s of any dark horses coming to the front he will be found among them, and that his pop ularity in Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota, which states they claim he can carry, would be 0 powerful argument in his behalf. There will be a caucus of the full delegation after it's arrival to-day, when the question of sub mitting his name at the outset of the nomi nations will be determined. The mayor him. self is said to be opposed to any complimen. tary vote plan, preferring to remain out of the field entirely, unless an opportunity de- velops to spring his name wiGh some pros poets of a respectable support
 There was a great turn out of Gray's SUD- porters at the Union depot to meet Senators Voorhees, and Turpie, who arrived direct from Washington. The "tall sycamore of the Wabash" and his colleague were escorted to the Lindell, where great crowd collected and cheered ten minutes or more. The sena- tors repeatedly acknowledged the welcome, but ould not be persuaded to respond to the cries of speech" and finally escaped into the dining room. The Randall club, of Philadel- phia, with Cleveland and Thurman banner the Record club, of the same city, headed by ex-Attorney General s. C. Cassidy, also shouting for the Ohio man, and the Hen dricks club, of Indianapolis, in white hats, white gloves, gray badges and with a mili- tary band, wore among the arrivals of the day. A well defined rumor is current to the effect that numerous communications have passed between the friends of Judge Thurman, who are here, and other friends at Columbus, | and that 1t has about been decided that unless the solid support of the Ohio delega- tion is pledged and guaranteed the judge he will absolutely and unqualifedly refuse tc | allow his name to be presented In this event Governor Gray will be largely iu the lead l but Thurman's withdrawal would, it i: thought. bring Stevenson into prominence and make him good second. The thirty members of the Pennsylvania | delegation that have arrived caucused, bu, did not discuss, the vice presidential question All of them, however, are for Thurman | Congressman w. L. Scott delivered an ad dress, in which he urged harmony and unity and said if the delegation was united it could make itself felt in the convention.
