Thurman WIN Be Nominated Without
Contest.
Sr. LOUIS, June Thurman will be
nominated for Vice President without
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 every
thing before it. They kept up show OF tight
during the day, calling on the New York
and other delegations and repeating the
speeches which were yesterday made 70
the Cslifornisns. A part Of the tactics, too,
WAS the wild but rather Intellectual shout
ing of the Hendricks Club Boys in the
corridors of the hotels. They hurrahed
Justify for Gray, but made all the noise
themselves. The Thurman breeze deyel-
oped into tornado this morning when the
New York City delegations, County De-
mocracy and Tammany marched through
the streets, shouting for Thurman. Ihur-
man emblems are everywhere to De seen
and the nomination Of Thurman Is con-
ceded on all sides.
Saturday night the friends Of Gov. Gray
were encouraged to believe that congress
man Scott would not show his hand on
the Vice Presidency. They set mueh
store by the well authenticated state,
ment that the President mao
refused to express any preference
Rrt Mr.. Scott was merely waiting
nntil he could fix up certain little mat
tsrs which he had on hand, and this morn
inc hs gsye the Thurman movement sucn
a Soost that the Indiana men were all but
nm off the field. Scott persists in declar'
inc that Thurman is not the aa'
n,inistrstion candidate, but ADDS
.hat Thurman will be nominated because
ths narty wants him, and because ne Is the
strongest candidate. He. e.admits Inurman ao
ia his personal choice, but denies ina. tne
President is in any way committed 70 tne
movement. Still, for all pracucal pur'
nosss the President might as well be com
,~;tisd 10 il, and the great mass Of Demo
c-ats belieye the ticket will be Cleveland
and Thurman, because the President g
desires it. -,
The pennsylvania delegation held :
mssting this afternoon, and after its ad
;onrnment the announcement was mad'
that tvo-thirds OF the delegates from th'
keystone State favored the old Sensto
and the minority would vote for him IN
5sr the unit rule. This, Of course, mean
that Scott had thrown his State for Thur
man. and when the fact became generail.
Known there was no longer any doubt o
ths success of the Scott programme.
Following the news Of this action Of To
pennsylysnia delegation came the intell
oenee that the Maryland delegation,
have all along opposed the Thurman idea
were ready TO fall in and vote with tn
crowd. The meaning OF this is that Scot
and German had come to some sort of q
agreement and that the two great leader
of the party were united on ticket. Stil
the GRAY advocates made sn effort to kee
mn the fight, Ohio, oddly enough, bein
THAR only hope, but il was like strugglin
svainst a West Indies hurricane. The friend
} of Gen. Black opened headquarters ut ID
, I.;ndell Hctel this morning and sttempte
~ oct up a boom for him, but their efior'
kmet with little success, the general feelin
; hsins that ii Thurman was not put throlgl
4 tosav ssuld easily win. Prom too nm
