ALI FOR THURMAN.
The Bandana Candidate Pretty
Solid Or the Train.

All OF the combinations eXtant have
been discussed and several things def.
nitely settled. They may as well be
hastily passed over. If he is serious
candidate, the old Roman OF Ohio will
get this tier solid for vice president.
There were original Black men and
Gray men and one or two Hearst men.
But the Thurman boom has caught
them all. There are half a dozen men
who favor giving Mayor Ames the COM
pllment OF vote for vice president, and
there need be no surprise if this is done.
The combined delegation is solid for
tariff reform and in full line with the
administration. This is self-evIdent.
The views and makeup of the several
delegations are interesting and well
worth review, Beginning at the West,
Washington Territory is represented by
Stuart Rice, of Tacoma, his colleague,
j; j; Browne, of Spokane, being
already at st. Louis. Rice is solid,
for Thurman and is in favor of continu-i
ing j. II. Kuhn as national committee
man, which, it is understood, Browne
approves. Maj. McGinnis holds down
Montana, but holds it down easily, his
colleague, A. G. Davidson, having gone
ahead. The major is a Thurman man
also, and says Dr.. A. H. Mitchell, of
man. There are no Dakota delegates
aboard, but the powers that be are all
here. Gov Church is surrounded bv
good-humored dignity and a full staff.
He is satisfied his delegation will he
seated, in which case it is pretty sure
Col. Abe Boynton will be the national
committeeman. 1t is understood the
governor favors him, but l.. G.. johnson.
Auditor Ward and Treasurer LAWYER
are all mentioned. The Day wing is
represented by Maj. Bangs, of Grand
Forks, who does not travel in the special
car and who is cynical and full of good
natured sarcasm toward the religious
convention which sat at NNatert0wn,
The Church contingent is afraid the
convention in its hurry may not exam
Inc the case duly and will admit both
delegations, which produce deadlock
on committeeman and continue Day in
that office.

CLEVELAND's CHOICE.
An Abortive Attempt to Find our

Whom the PreSid ent FaVors.
ST. LOUIS, June 3.-There was more
talk to-day of Postmaster General Dick
insOn, but some of his friends from
Michigan, among them Maj. " eSton, of
Grand Rapids, say he will not be can
didate. Col. Morrison is not a candi-
date, and after the first ballot will prob
ably throw his vote i'll Illinois, number
ing, perhaps, thirty, to Gray. Delegates
Lehman and Balling all say majority
OF the Iowa delegation is for Gray, and
Kentucky is also claimed for him. Henry
Wattersop does not like the Thurman
idea, and frankly says SO. Considerable
opposition to Thurman has existed in
the South, and the Gray men are full of
fight and hOpefulness. Col. Matson
and other friends of the Indiana gov
ernor have made renewed efforts to as
certain if Thurman is the choice of
President Cleveland, and have pressed
Congressman Scott very hard for an an
SWer to his heterogeneous. Scott to-day
said he had no intention of trying to
force the nomination of Thurman or
anybody else, and had not come out
here for that purpose. Other friends of
the president declare Mf. Cleveland has
not said one word concerning his choice
for vice president, and claim he has
steadfaStly refused to express prefer
ence. The Gray men are talking this
to every delegate they can reach. OBJ

same view, and the Maryland delegation
is likely to go Solidly to Gray if the
much strength. If the country delegates
from New York and those from Brook
Ign refuse to join Tammany and the
County Democracy in support of Thur
man, the old Roman may be beaten
after all. A sufficient number of dele
gates have not yet arrived to give sat
isfactory idea of the direction the drift
will finally take, but Gray is undoubt-
edly gaining strength, while the Thur
man sentiment is being much weakened
by the objections to his age. 1t is no
longer doubted that his friends say he
must be nominated by reclamation or he
will not accept.

THE CONVENTION OF 1884.
Cleveland and Hendricks Named
as the Winning Ticket at Last.


The Democratic national convention
of 1884 met at Chicago July 8. In the
preliminary canvass in the several states
the names of Samuel J. Tilden, Thomas
f. Bayard, Joseph E. Mcdonald, Thomas
A. Hendricks, Samuel ]. Randall, Allen
G.Thurman, John G.Carlisle and Grover
Cleveland were mentioned in connection
with the administration. The admirers
of Mr.. Tilden were numerous, but few
weeks before the meeting of the con-
the state of his health would not
permit Of his acceptance of the nom
ination. The New York state con-
vention for the election of delegates to
the national convention instructed the
delegation from that state to support
Gov. Cleveland and to vote as unit.
When the convention met the delegates
representing Tammany hall were CD
posed to Cleveland, but, under the oper-
alton of the unit rule, they were forced
to vote for him. EX-Gov. Richard B.
Hubbard, of Texas, was the temporary
chairman of the national convention,
and William F. Villas, of Wisconsin,
was the permanent chairman. George
of Thomas F. Bayard to the conven-
ton. Thomas A. Hendricks NOM
mated Joseph E. Mcdonald: John
W. Breckenridge. of California,
nominated Allen G. Thurman. j. A.
Mckenzie, of Kentucky, nominated
John G. Carlisle. Daniel j. Lockwood,
of New York, nominated Grover Cleve-
land. Thomas F. Grady, of New York,
speaking for the Tammany delegates,
opposed Mr.. Cleveland, saying that the
Irishmen, Catholics and laboring men
of New York were opposed to him.
Thomas E. Powell, of Ohio, nominated
George Hoadley, then governor of
Ohio, now resident of New York.
William A. Wallace, of PENNSYLVANIA,
nominated Samuel Randall. A num-
Der of speeches were made seconding
the nominations, and on the evening of
the third day, when the platform was
reported, a new contest was inaugu-
rate, led by Benjamin F. Butler on be-
half of high tariff, and William r.
Morrison in favor of revenue
tariff. Gen, Butler submitted
majority report, the essential
feature of which was formal and eX-
plicit declaration in favor of protective
tariff. On the question of substituting
Buffers declarations for those in the
platform as reported by Mr.. Morrison
the vote stood: Yeas, 9711S; nays, 71411SS.

THE PLATFORM.
Good Prospects OF Something OF a
Difference of Opinion.

Special to the Globe.
ST. LOUIS, June 9.-Chairman Bar
nun. of the national committee. is very
careful not to commit himself on the
vice presidency. He thinks that the
tariff plank of 1884 would do very well
this year. Senator German is said to
agree with Nj. Barnum on this question,
but the indications point to an ultimate
agreement to thoroughly indorse the
policy laid down in the presidents
message. Hon. William l.. Scott. of
Pennsylvania, has little to say respect
ing the platform, but it is very evident
that he expects the adoption of plank
based principally on the presidents
message. He apparently does not
think it will be good policy to to indorse
the Mills bill in SO many words at this
time, especially as that measure has
Seen materially amended since it came
from the committee, and since it was so
emphatically Endorsed by the Demo
cratic convention OF Pennsylvania j.
w. Dorsey, a prominent Nevada mine
owner. is OF the opinion thot the failure
on the part of the committee to protect
the interests of the silver men
of the Pacific slope will cost the party
thousands of votes, as, in his opinion.
the Republicans will insert free-coin-
age plank in their platform. Delegate
Lyonsall, one of Colorado's cattle kings,
hearing a remark to this effect made by
Mr.. Dorsey, retorted; ''It's mighty
little chance We'll get at that platform.
Bill Scott has it in his grip. The peo-
pie in the East seem to think that we
are incapable of taking care of our
selves, or of knowing our own wants.''

CHANGED HIS MIND.
Gen. Lawton's Impressions Gained
at a Dinner With Blaine.

New YORK, June 3.-Gen. A. R.
Lawton United States minister to
Austria, accompanied by his wife, ar
rived here on the steamer La Gascogne
to-day, on six weeks leave of absence.
Mr.. Lawton brings rather discourage
ing news to the friends and admirers
of James G. Blaine, who, he says, is
rapidly aging, and by no means presents
the appearance of we'll man. ONLY
a month ago Mr.. Lawton dined with
Mr.. Blaine, in Rome, and in converse
sation with him on American politics
generally was led to believe that MIR.
Blaine would accept the presidential
nomination, if he should be the choice
of the convention. Gen. Lawton had
not heard of Mr., Blaine's second letter
declining the nomination when relating
the foregoing, and when told of it
remarked that the Maine statesman
had probably changed his mind.''
1t was the impression abroad.
Mr.. Lawton said, that Mr.. Blaine ex-
pected to receive the nomination.

Not Receiving Very Much Encour-

Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
ST. LOUIS, June 3.-Little or nothing
is being heard of the candidacy of
Mayor Ames, of Minneapolis, who is
here witt a few of the delegates from
Minnesota in advance OF the general
party. He is working quietly, and his
friends say that in the event of anv
dark horse coming to the front, he will
be found among them, and that his
popularity in Iowa. Wisconsin and Min
nesota, which states they claim he can
certainly carry, would be powerful ar
gument in his behalf. There will be a
caucus of the full delegation after their
arrival tomorrow morning, when the
question of submitting his name at the
outset for the nomination will be deter
mined. The mayor himself is said to
be opposed to any complimentary
vote" play, preferrlng to remain out of
the field entirely unless an opportunity
develops of springing his name with
prospect of respectable support. There
was a great turnout of Gray's support
ers at the union depot this afternoon 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
senators repeatedly acknowledged the
welcome, but could not be persuaded to
respond to the cries of ''Speech,'' and
finally escaped into the dining room.
TheRandall club. of Philadelphia, with
a Cleveland and Thurman banner: the

the arrivals of the day.

for him. The report of Mr.. Scott's
open advocacy of Thurman caused
much excitement among the followers
of the other presidential caudi-
dates, and much joy among the
OhioaI.'S advocates. As Mr.. Scott's
reported declaration was.used with snch
effect. and it could not be traced to any
authoritative source, an attempt was
made to Interview him. Most of the
evening he was occupied at committee

ceived from Virginia and West Virginia
tonight, saying that the votes of those
states would be cast solidly for Thur
man. The Texas delegation arrived
here this evening. Gov. Throckmorton,
who heads the delegation, found let
ter from Congressman Mills awaiting
him, in which Mr.. Mills requests that
his name be not presented for vice
president. The Texas delegation had
been Instructed to vote for Mills, but,
in view of this letter, will not present
his name, and from interviews tonight
with dozen members OF the delega-
ton it is probable that Texas will
cast its solid vote for Thurman.
A slight ripple of excitement was set in
motion this evening when it was learned
that, Notwithstanding the fact that the
election of Mr.. Collins, of Massachu-
sets, as permanent chairman was al

delegation had selected Mr.. Steady to

whether, at this late day, an effort to
defeat Mr.. Collins will prove successful.

The Globes Complete Review
Of the Situation Up to

A few white, puff-ball clouds-a warm
sun and cool breeze-such was the
weather yesterday morning when the
Minnesota delegation to the st. Louis
convention gathered with many friends
at the st. Paul union depot, ready for
the start. Their departure was timed
at 10 O'Clock, but it was 1915 when "An
aboard'' was called, and the six elegant
sleepers and Engine No 6, of the Bur-
lington, rolled out to the ~" and started
down the valley.
Preliminary to the start the delegates,
with friends and guests, stood on the

were very fine-looking body of men,

off their physiques in fine style. DR..

Clubs and Delegations Pouring
Into the Mound City.

Special to the Globe.
ST. LOUIS, June 3.-ClubS and dele
cations are pouring into the city to-
night, and the streets are alive with
music and banners and the tramp of
many feet. The New Jersey delegation
came in on late train and proceeded to
put on Cleveland and Thurman badges
to aman. The members of the celebrated
Duckworth club of Cincinnati, who
brought with them a military band and
a profusion of bunting, were in very de-
pressed spirits. in consequence af the
fact that one of their number had fallen
under the train at Seymour, Ind, and
suffered the loss of both legs. The
Cleveland Democracy. of Buffalo, n. Y,
several hundred strong, came in on a
special train. The Indiana delegation
caucuSed tonight and elected Senator
Turpie as its member of the COM
mittee on resolutions, and o. o. Stealey
as member of the committee on
organization, with instructions to sup
port Henry WatterSon for permanent
chairman. Mr.. WattersOn, however.
says that he is not candidate againt
Mr.. Collins for the position. Senator

night that as near as he could predict,
his delegates would be solid for the old

that numerous communications have
passed to-day between the friends of
Judge Thurman, who are here. and
other friends at Columbus, and that it
has about been decided that unless the
solid support of the Ohio delegation
is pledged and guaranteed the Judge by
noon tomorrow, he Will absolutely and
unqualitiedly refuse to allow his name
to be presented. In this event GOV.
Gray will be largely in the lead, but
Thurman'S withdrawal would, it is
thought, bring Stevenson into promi-
nence and make him a good second.
One of the leading anti-Thurman Ohio
delegates said tonight: 1--WE shall
caucus at 10 o'clock in the morning
and will then know more definitely
what we shall do. We want to see
what the other delegations are doing.
We don't want to start in with orr solid

An Exciting Experience OF Mr.

Doran and Others.
Special to the Globe.
WINoNA, Mimi, June 3.-The Mime
sofa delegation came near going to ST,
Louis without either of the alleged en-
emles, but Mr.. Doran's name proved
more potent than railroad conductors
impotence. A big crowd of Democrats
chartered a special train here, which
was deliberately decorated with flags
and bunting. engaged a band ard ran
over to East Winona to meet the special
tram bearing the delegation. The train
arrived at 2:10 and was greeted with
music by the band and cheers. In re-
spouse to the warm welcome Mr.. Doran
stepped off upon the platform, followed
by several of the delegates. While
they stood talking the signal was given,
and before anybody realized it the train
was several hundred rods away and 60
ing towards st. Louis as fast as the big
engine and wish to make up lost time
could carry it. The other delegates
were IN a very anxious state, fearing
they would have to walk the rest of the
way. But Mr.. Doran coolly remarked
that they would come back in a minute,
which they did as soon as he was dis
covered to be among those left
