THIS SETTLES 1T.
Text Of the Resolution Adopted
by the Ohio Delegation.

Following is the resolution adopted
by the Ohio delegation by vote of "A
out of 46, two delegates, Brady and
Frintz, from Cincinnati, being excused
from voting. The resolution was writ
ten and offered by Delegate at Large
Charles w. Baker, of CincinnatI:
1.-The Democracy of Ohio does not urge
any candidate for the vice presidency.
1t submits this question to the wisdom
of the Democracy Of the nation. Should
Judge Thurman he named, he will re-
ceive our hearty, earnest and enthusi-
astic support" 1t is understood that the
tenor of this resolution meets the wishes
of Judge Thurman in the premises, as he
gave his friends to understand that he
did not desire that Ohio should present
his name or press his candidacy upon
the convention. He preferred that the
Democracy of the country should eX-
press their choice, and that Ohio should
endorse that choice, and the resolution
meets this situation. The action
of the Ohio delegates, in the
opinion of leading Democrats of
nearly every state, assures Thurman's
nomination beyond doubt, as tits known
he already has more than enough votes
to nominate. There is no longer any
reason to doubt that Judge Thurman's
candidacy meets with the cordial ap-
proval of President Cleveland. Scott is
now openly quoted as asserting that
the president is desirous of ThurmaDs
nomination,

GENEROUS HOSPITALITY.

St. Louisans Beside Themselves
With Joy at the Privilege of En-

There was only small crowd expected.
but everything iS,even now, overflOwed,
and the great rush is due in the morn

and awakening to the fact that ma
tional convention is a great event and
requires not only vast accommodations,
but an enormous amount of money.
However, what would not be forgiven
i'll the face of such evident hospitality?
Every face in st. Louis beams with joy,
and each visitor is impressed with the
idea that he has conferred
personal favor upon the town by spend

day has been great with arrivals, and
the Central depot has poured forth a
constant stream of Democrats from all
parts of the country, emphasized here
and there with men of national reputa-
ton. st. Paul or Minneapolis would
take census on the spot,
but such thought has never
occurred to Rip Van Wrinkle. There
is the same old scene of crowded streets
and hotels, and blaring bands and
Haunting flags, but there is no such
fever of excitement as is usually felt at
national conventions. The president is
already chosen, and the vice president
practically named. Even the myriad
badge peddlers feel the difference and
mourn the degeneracy of the times and
the decadence of trade. The conyen-
tion tomorrow will be one grand love
feast, without fight or faction, and two
days work will result in the selection
of the next president and vice presi-
dent. and settle the platform on which
they will stand. The good feeling is

but the best quarters. Nearly every
prominent man in the state is there, and
the delegation is receiving a greatdeal
of attention. John l.. Mitchell, of Mill
waukee, is the member of the national
committee, and was unanimously chosen
to succeed himself. Owen Wells, the
lieutenant of Gen. Bragg, mayor OF
Ashland; Chairman Gil Woodward. OF
La Crosse; Emil Schendin, of Miiwau-
kee; Mayor Mcdonnell, of Chippewa
Falls; George w. Bird, of Madison:
Winfield Smith, of Mineral Point:
Tom Frawley, Eau Claire, and George
Faulkener, Portage, are among the
prominent delegate. The veteran editor
Tom Cunningham, of Chippewa, is also
here. There was but one breeze raised
in the delegation. Lewercan, of Dodge,
had been chosen as vice president for
Wisconsin and moved to have Owen
Wells put on in mis- place. Meyer
Knight objected to this injection Of
Bragg, which brought Wells to his feet.
How he did talk! He poured solid shot
into the ranks of the opposition and

declined the proffered honor. The
fierce eloquence brought large crowd
about the doors, but the difficulty WIS
smoothed over. A caucus showed the
delegation unanimous for Thurman.
and when this was noised about in came
the ubiquitous Indiana delegates to
argue for Gray, with the usual result.

Minneapolis. The first ballot gave Z to
each, but on the next ballot Winston
received 8 and was elected. 1t was
this deal that delayed the next election.
Winston had been approached to sup
port Doran for committeeman with the
promise that if he did so he would be
elected chairman. But he declined,
and John Ludwig was substi-
tuted. 1t was understood that
Ludwig was to have voted
for Smith, but the promise of being
chairman of the delegation wheeled him
into the Doran column. 1t was uneX-
pected when the meeting opened, but
when for member of the national COM
mittee Doran received seven and Smith
seven, there was no surprise. except
from the Doran men. All the way from
st. Paul to st. Louis they claimed to
control the delegation with ease and
were very much disappointed and cha
grined when the result showed a tie.
Nine ballots were taken and recess Of

Then came the fine work of both sides.

sides were confident. The Doran men

CLEVELAND AND THURMAN.
The Nomination of the Old Roman

as a Running Mate to Grover
Seems a Foregone Conclusion.
ST.. LOUIS, June Thurman will be
nominated for vice president without
contest. Sunday night the supporters
of Gov. Gray were full of hope, but to-
night they admit to their confidential
friends that the Thurman cyclone is
sweeping everything before it. They
kept up show of fight during the day,
calling on the New York and other dele
gates and repeating the speeches which
were made yesterday to the Californians.
A part of their tactics. too, was the
wild, but rather Intellectual shouting of
the Hendricks club boys in the corridors
for Gray, but made about all the noise
themselves. The Thurman breeze de-
veloped into a tornado this morning
when the New York city delegations,
County Democracy and Tammany
marched through the street shouting for
Thurman. The Tammanyites were
most loudly cheered by the thrOngs on
the sidewalks and in the hotels, and
within half an hour the Tammany men
were busIly engaged helping their Paci
fic coast friends pin red bandanas on
the coats of all the multitude. These
Thurman emblems are everywhere to
be seen, and the nomination of
Thurman is conceded on all
sides. Sunday night the friends
of Gov. Gray were encouraged
to believe that Congressman Scott
would not show his hand ON the vice
presidency. They set much store by

Dakota is the Only Case of Con-
testing DeIegations-Both Sides
Confident.
Special to the Globe.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 4.-Dakota will
have the doubtful honor of presenting
to the convention tomorrow the only
case of contesting delegations. How it
will come out no one can tell, but both
sides profess to be hopeful. Day has
been working his colleagues on the
national committee like the beaver he
is, and he has several days the start of
the Church delegation. Bangs and
Walsh are both wearing blisters on their
heels running from one man of influence
to another, and both say they expect to
occupy seats in the convention. Steele
and Megquier, the Church, or regular
delegates, have also been here several
DAYS, and seem radiant with hope.
Gov. Church, Auditor Ward, and Secre-
tary Quinn, all of whom were seen by
the GLOBE tonight, say there is no
doubt of their complete triumph the
moment hearing can be had. There
is a great deal of talk of admitting
both delegations and dividing the
vote between them as indicated yester-
day, but this it is claimed is opposed by
both except as ldSG resort. In6 lay
people claim it would be a victory for
them in giving them recognition, while
the Church side say it would be their
victory. as then Day could not be re-
elected to the national committee. Just
here is fine point. If both delegations
are seated there will be two votes for
Abe Boynton and two for Day, and the
question is will the national committee
decide it or refer it back to the terri
torial committee. The same case may
arise in Minnesota, and there is great
doubt concerning it. Day said
to the GLOBE to-day: Il am
yety hopeful, in fact. satisfied
that we will be recognized
by the convention" When asked
whether the recognition would be joint
or singular, he would not say. Gov.
Church said tonight: There can be
no question that the regular delegation
will be seated the moment the facts are
laid before the committee" When told
that Day was hopeful, j. M.Quinn said:
DAY is always hopeful. He doesn't
know when he is licked" The Church
people are leaving no stone unturned.
They have seen the leaders of every
state delegation and explained their
case. and now say they have received
sufficient pledges to insure victory.
They will accept the admission of both
delegations if necessary, but will be
sadly disappointed if they do not keep
out the opposition.

DIED "A-BOONfIN'."
That Was the Fate of the Black
Boom.

Special to the Globe.
ST. LOUIS, June 4.-As for the Blacl.
boom, it died ''a-boOming" early in the
day. The poky little room in which
those responsible for its appearance
kept open house never held more than
a dozen people, and less than that after
the limited supply of cigars had given
out. A. G. Riff, of Beatrice, Neb.; w.
Kimbrough, of Danville, H.; John
Warysen, of Kansas, and l.. F. Beach, of
MarrIsOn county, Illinois, took turns in
standing outside the door and inviting
the pasSerS-by in much after the fashion
of fake auction. Joe Mann, OF Illi-
nois, at whose instance the headquar-
ters were opened, and who it was conf
dentially given out would fan the
sparks into a flame as soon as he ar
rived, came in at s o'clock, just in time
to find that any dark horses chances the
commissioner of pensions might have,
had twelve hours before vanished into
the gloom. The action of the Ohio
delegation was wired without delay to
Judge Thurman, and long after mid
night from the balconies of half dozen
hotels, orators waved the red bandana
at the multitudes below and assured
them that Cleveland and Thurman
would lead the Democracy TO victory in
November next.

St. Louisians Doing Them

of Hospitality.

Special 10 the Globe.
ST. Louis, June 1.-The dual Mime
sofa contingent, on trains that raced
down on either sides of the river, ar
rived here about 7:30 this morning, to-
gether, and nearly 200 strong. Scarcely
an individual state is better repre-
sented, numerically and intellectually,
than our own, while our neighbors on
every side, Dakota, Wisconsin end Iowa,
are able To make a big show. The
Planters is general headquarters, and
not very good headquarters either. 1t
is Overrun and crowded to death. At
meal times there is a hungry rush for
the diding hall, and those who come
late or are crowded out get little or
nothing. The preparations for other
accommodations were on the same scale.
The crowd had vague idea that their
rooms were engaged and waiting, beds
aired and cocktails on the table, but
they were sadly left. Seven rooms had
been secured, and they now hold seven
to room, with $50 free-bOrn citi-
zens Of Minnesota left to shift
for themselves and thrown on
thetender mercies of this mOney-making
and shiftless old town. The seven rooms
are like sardme boxes and their occu-
pants packed together like the oily little
fish the Yankees put OH us for imported
goods.
Some of the strange bedfellows are
ludicrouS, and GLOBE readers can i'm
agine Mayor Ames and Frank Morse in
bed, or Mike Doran lying spoon-fash-
ion with Chris O'Brien. However, lit
tie Inconvenience like these are ac-
cepted as part of the experience andthe
party is as happy, taken collectively, as
a clam at high tide. The unfortunates
found rooms at long distances and eXor-
bitant rates, and get their meals where
they can. The holders of good rooms in
large hotels are the envied ones, while
lunch routes already command high
premium. There seems to be no trouble
about tickets to the convention and to-
morrow the Minnesotians may be heard
and seen in the big hall.

Winston and Mayor Smith alone looked
serene. Michael Doran's face looked
like a thunder cloud. and the usual
smile on Chris O'Brien's face had given
way to worried look. P. 81. Kelly
came out, and seemed anything but
happy, but he greeted everybody in his
usual bluff, hearty style. The report
that Doran had been downed was spread
about the hotels and got into the even
ing papers here. and members of the
delegation said it was absolutely certain
that the member of the committee would
be Smith or dark horse. The Doran
men laughed this to scorn and conf
IDENTIFY predicted that the first ballot
in the morning would land the LIE Sueur

night it seems reasonably certain that
combination has been affected by which
Smith will get the necessary eighth
vote. Mayor Ames has consented to

THURMAN'S BOOM.

York Started the Ball Rolling.
Special to the Globe.
ST. LOUIS, June Am reference to
the Thurman boom, Congressman w.
l.. Scott, of Pennsylvania, said to-day:
s'It's spontareousm movement. never
saw anything like it in all my life.
Thurman will be nominated because he
ought to be. Yes, grand old man, and
yet not as old as his age would indicate.
He will give US strength while he gives
us wisdom and craftsmanship. His
nomination will make the triumph Of
the Democracy as certain, in my judg-
ment, as anything can be. Thurman's
nomination will probably force the nom-
ination of John Sherman on the Repub-
licans, for without him as their stand
ard bearer they must lose Ohio. With
Thurman we shall make as strong a
fight in Illinois and Indiana as we
would if we should nominate Gray or
Black, for Gray is too good Democrat
not to accede to what is the plain inter-
est of the party, and Black is young
enough to wait Besides, the appoint
ment of Fuller to the chief justiceship
ought to satisfy Illinois, ,Hand it does.
Sherman is unpopular in the East, ex-
cept among the banks, and the pepu-
larity of Thurman throughout the East
is equal to that of President Cleveland
himself. We shall get New York, New
Jersey and Connecticut. If Gresham is
nominated we are sure of Ohio, while

A POSITIVE STAND.
fac1hc Coasters Unanimous for
the Old Roman.

the Old Roman.
ST. LOUIS, June 4.-The Pacific coast
took positive stand this afternoon ON
the much mooted question of second
place on the national ticket. After a
meeting at o'clock this afternoon
mlsts OF doubt were dispelled and Cali
fornla, Oregon and Nevada will go into
the convention solid for Thurman.
Great enthusiasm prevailed at the ap-
pointed hour, when purple and silver
badges loomed up at coast headquarters
in sufficient strength to show that Cali
tornia was alive to the Importance of
the meeting. Gov. White called the
meeting to order and Col. Tarpey
delivered stirring address, that
at the outset gave the keynote
to the situation. He was for
Thurman under all circumstances,
opposed all bartering of candidates
and advocated the nomination of the
Ohio judge as the only man who could
sWerve the floating vote of the coast
ana lead Democratic banners to victory.
He was followed by Hon. w. ID. Eng
lish, the pOrtly harbOr commissioner Of
San Francisco, in the same strain, and
Senator Miller, of Nevada, indorsed
every sentiment that had been uttered
by other speakers. There could be nd
question of the disposition of the dele.
gates, and when the question was fOr4
merly presented in the shape of a resO.
luton the nomination of Judge Thur.
man was approved by acclamation.
Each delegate and visitor counted the
Thurman insignia in his equipment,
and at the announcement the air was
lurid with bandanas and deep-voiced
pledges of fealty to the venerable JUS
tlce from Ohio. 1t was unanimously
agreed to give the joint vote of Cali.

WITHOUT A BALLOT.
1t Is Probable That Thurman Will
Be Nominated by Acclamma-

tion.
ST. LOUIS, June 4.-The situation at
midnight, so far as Thurman's selection
is concerned, is unchanged. There will
probably be no ballot taken. The ac-
ton of the New York delegation
to refrain from voting is con-
strued by anti-Thurmanites to mean
that the New Workers are scheming
to stampede the convention. Crowds of
Gray followers gathered in the lobbies
of the leading hotels late tonight, and
at this hour are yelling and bowling for
their favarite. 1t is all to no purpose,
however, as in the language of
the Indiana delegates, 1T is too
late to shout now" The Indiana
delegation at meeting tonight in
structed its members to support Henry
Watterson for the Craftsmanship of the
committee on resolutions. The fight
for this place will probably be
between Watterson and German. A
member of the national committee is
authority for the statement that the
platform will readOpt the platform of
1884, and indorse the presidents mes
sage. 1t will declare for tariff
reform, but will not indorse the
Mills bill in its present shape. Mr..

withdraw his name from the committee
to notify the president and allow Mayor
Ludwig that honor by acclamation. In
return Ludwig is to return to his first
love and vote for Smith for member of
the committee. The Smith men say
Ludwig has been inclined all along to
vote for Smith, but felt bound to sup
port Doran on account of the nomina-
ton for chairman. They also say an
other vote will be Forthcoming if this
deal goes through, as one of the up
country statesmen wants an office, and
is anxious to be arrayed ON the winning
side. This will all come out in time.
The delegation was anxious to accept the
hospitality of the citizens committee
and see the races, and at 1 O'Clock,
loaded in carriages, off they went.

BUCKEYE BITTERNESS.
The Ohio Delegation Not Quite
Solid for Thurm man---VapOrin
of fBIaCherskiteS

The Ohio Delegation Not Quite
Solid for Misunderstanding
of Blacherskites.
The Ohio delegation is split in two
over Thurman's candidacy and a feeling
OF intense bitterness has grown up be-
tween the Thurman and anti-Thurman
members of the delegation. Three of
the delegates at large-Messrs. Brice,
Howell and Holden-are for Thurman,
while Baker, of Cincinnati, is acting
with the anti-Th urman faction. Among
the most active and bitter anti-Thur-
man members are Judge Henry Seney,
of KentOn, A. ID. Marsh, of Mercer;
Nash, OF Geanga and MeSSrs. Huffman,
Satter and Patterson. One of the
striking incidents this morning was
the course pursued by some of the dele
of the Thirteenth Ohio district, de-
clared himself about as follows, when
ever opportunity offered: Il am one or
the Ohio delegates who is strongly op-
posed to Thurman. | come right from
his district too, and know that many are
of my opinion. 1t is the greatest nom
sense to talk about Thurman being
vice president. He is decrepit man
who can never fill any office acceptably.
We who know him personally think it
is the height of cruelty TO put him for
ward, as we'll as great mistake politi-
cally. There is absolutely no chance
whatever of Ohio going Democratic, as
the flag issue has been so thoroughly
worked by Foraker as to insure Re-
publican majority of from $4,000 to
10000. We all know this, and do not
want to put up Thurman to be fearfully
beaten in his own state. So strong is
this feeling that know there are sew
eral delegates, L do not say myself, who
will not vote for Thurman under any

vent the state from being a unit
