not proper. The name was accordingi
withdrawn.
On motion of Dowson, of South Care
lima, e. b. Die kinson, of New York wa
elected official stenographer,
4 Tie committee then took up th
question of distributing tickets for thi
purpose. The oasis of distributatiol
in Chicago in 1884 was adopted and tn
tickets were brought out in boxe
with badges, etc and delivered to tn
committee much to their surprise ant
some hard feeling was expressed owe
what was alleged to be the small allot-
ment.
Without taking up other matters O.
importance, the committee adjourned
till to morrow.
Tammany sachems who arrived to-
day, numbered 700 and required traiE
! all to themselves made up in two huge
sections. Their cars bore the immense
canvas legend, ''Tammany Hall. ,
1t Is generally supposed that Daniel
Dougherty, the famous silver rongued
orator, who is one of the Tammapy
party, will present President Cleve-
lands name to the convention. Like
all other Tammany men, he expresses
! himself IOr a. G. thurman.
There were sos men in the delegation
of the New York County democracy.
Their leader is judge Maurice y. Pow
ers. A notable figure among them, at
tracing general attention, was Colonel
John r. Fellows. .l g.
! Thurman appears to be the choice of
this organization for the vice-pres
idency. t
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany's facilities for handling press and
other telegraph business of the conven-
ton is most complete. A general re-
celving Office has been fitted up on the
main floor of the hall accessible to del
egates, also to the press and to those
upon the platform from which tubes
run to the large operating room fitted
up on the floor below, and from which
a large, number of wires connect
with all parts of the country.
In addition to this, pony express
will be established between Convention
Hall and the main Office of the company
for use in case of necessity. The com
pany will send out bulletins covering
ballots and important points, the pro-
ceedings of which will be given to the
puolic and press free of charge.
Thurman will be nominated for Vice
President without contest. Sunday
night, the supporters of Governor
Gray, of Indiana, were full of hope, but
to night they admit to their con-
fidsntial friends that the Thurman
cyclone is sweeping.before it everything.
They kept up show of fight during the
day. calling the New York and other
delegations and repeating speeches
which were made yesterday to the Cali
fornians. A part of their tactics too.
was the wild but rather Intellectual
shouting of the Hendricks Club boys in
the Corridors Hotel. They hurrahed
Justify for Gray, but made about all the
noise themselves. The Thurman breeze
developedTnto tornado when the New
York City delegates, the county Dem
ocracy and TammaEy Hall marched
through the streets shouting for Thur
man. Tammanyites were most loudly
cheered by the throngs on the side
walks and in the hotels and within
half hour they were busily engaged in
helping their Pacific Coast friends to
pin red bandannas on the coats of all
the multitude. These Thurman en-
blems are everywhere to be seen, and
the nomination of the grand old Roman
is conceded on all sides.
Scott persists in declaring that Thur
man is not the administration candi-
date, but adds that Thurman will be
nominated, because the party wants
him, and because he is the strongest
candidate. He admits that Thur
man is his personal choice,
but denies than Cleveland is
in any way committed to the move
ment; still for all practical purposes,
the President might as well be COM
mitted to it and the great mass of
be Cleveland and Thurman because the
President so desires.
The Pennsylvania delegation an.
nominees a two-thirds delegation from
the Keystone State favored the old
Senator, and the minority would vote
for him under the unit rule. This
of course means that Scott has
thrown his State for Thurman,
and when TIE fact became generally
know there was no longer any doubt of
the success of SCOTS programme.
Following the announcement of this
action of the Pennsylvania delegation
came theiDtelligence thatthe Maryland
delegation, who have all along opposed
the Thurman idea, were ready to fall in
and vote with the crowd. The meaning
of this is that Scott and German have
come to some sort OF an agreement, and
that the,two great leaders of the party
were united on the ticket. Still, the
Gray advocates made a great effort to
keep up the fight, Ohio, oddly enough,
being their only hope, but it was like
against West Indies hurri-
cane.
The friends of General Black opened
their headquarters at the Llndell
Hotel, this morning to get mp boom
for him, but their efforts met with little
success. The general feeling is that If
Thurman was not put through GRAY
could easily win.
Oregon has proved a worthy ally to
California so far as energetic work is
The organization as effected this
morning is as follows: Ex-senator |
James K. Kelley. chairman of the dele
CATION; General John f. Miller, vice.
president; Napoleon Davis, Sec
rotary; NJ. S. Holman, committee
On resolutions; James l., Cowan,
On credentials; Colonel John Lee, on
permanent organization; A. Noltner,
of the national committee;
ames L. Gown, on notification of nom.
nees. The delegation is solid TO Thur
man, as the members have concluded in
of the extraordinary boom
