terest centers in the result of this after
moons caucus, and whether the minority
will abide the dictation OF the majority.
Three OF the Ohio delegates at large
Messrs. Brice, Powell and Holden-are for
Thurman, while Baker of Cincinnati is
acting with the anti-Thurman faction.
Among the most active and bitter anti
Thurman members are John Henry Senev,
of KentOn; A. ID. Marsh, of Mercer; Nash,
OF Geauga, and Mcssrs. Huffman, Satter
and Patterson. In connection with Thur
mans candidacy the following interesting
possip emanates from high authority:
Thurman was not seriously thought OF as
q candidate until last week, when Sec'y
Whitney sounded the president and
found him favoraby disposed toward
Thurman. Sec'y Whitney has here
toiore been politically unfriendly to Thur
man, and was one OF the principal factors
in preventing his nomination for
the presidency at Cincinnati in 1880. Cal
vim s Brice, of Lima, O., the millionaire
railroad magnate, is credited with being
the real original promoter of the Thurman
boom. lie heads the Ohio delegation.
The story goes that Brice has his eye on
the senatorial seat occupied by Senator
Payne The Payne people are friendly TO
Brice, but the latter was given to under
stand by Humans friends that he never
could reach the senate as long as Thur
man lived. In order TO conciliate Thur
man and shelve him as a senatorial aspi-
rant. Brice persuaded Sec'y Whitney TO
come out for Thurman, and thus the old
Roman is said to have been brought into
the race. Brice will probably be elected
member of the national committee from
Ohio to succeed Armstrong.
Joseph j. 0'DonOghue of Tammany hall,
while waiting in the depot for the forma-
ton of the line of march, talked about the
preference of his associates for the vice
presidency. Thurman is our cry" he
said, first, last and all the time. He is
the man we want and he will be nomi-
mated With that ticket, Cleveland and
Thurman, we will win, hands down."
"What majority would you predict for
that ticket in New York;"
Between 10000 and $4,000. 1t will
sweep the state, can tell you"
"Will not the so-called free trade utter
ances of Cleveland injure him in the
state"
II think not. Personally I am not a
free trader. | believe in protection. so
do many strong democrats, but we recog-
nize the necessity for a revision of the
tariff, and think the revision can safely be
left to congress. Cleveland is not free
trader. He is for revision. Read the last
report of his message. That shows ii fully
to our satisfaction"
Thomas s. Brennan, president of the
New York board of charities and cOrrec-
tions and marshal of Tammany hall for
the parade tomorrow night, is the tallest
man in the organization On the arrival
of the train bearing the braves, he jumped
to the platform and had several barrels
rolled out of the cars. "He's going to
open the barrel" cried some one in the
crowd, and the politicians in the crowd all
pushed forward to witness that pleasant
operation The barrel was opened and
Marshal Brennan drew forth boxes
of badges marked with the num-
Der of the New York districts
to which the boxes were to 90.
The politicians were disappointed and left
the marshal to look at Richard Croke, the
boss of Tammany, who was engaged in an
earnest conversation with the baggage
agent of the braves. Thurman" said
Brennan, positively, in answer to ques-
ton as to the vice-presidential choice of
the hall. Mr.. Croke was not less positive.
Eve are for Thurman for the vice-presi-
dent and the only possible man for the
president. You can put it down that
Tammany has no quarrel with Cleveland.
He has given the country such an admin
istration as it had not seen for long time
and now he is to be reelected"
j. r. Goodman of Memphis, delegate
at large from Tennessee, said to-day: I'VE
are for Gray, but if we find he is not
available we will take another candidate.
j do not think Thurman is needed TO
strengthen the ticket generally. Gray can
