ST. LOUIS, June 3.-The bright,
bracing weather of yesterday and to-
day, following the sultry, disagreeable
weather of the preceding week, has
suggested to delegates and others at
tending the Convention a renewal OF
the phrase cleveland weather." The
whirl has begun, the crowd increases
hourly, and the rotunda of the South
ern Hotel, which is the principal head
quarters, has been crowded throughout
the day.
Conferences of members of the sever
al delegations began at an early hour
this morning. Last night the Execu-
tive Committee agreed to recommend
the selection of Lieutenant-Govern
White of California for the temporary
Craftsmanship, and a strong sentiment
was developed in favor of General Col
Inns of Massachusetts,, for the perma-
nent presidency of the convention.
This action had tendency to renew
speculation as to who will secure second
place on the ticket with Mr.. Cleveland.
Unquestionably Judge Thurman is even
more favorably regarded tonight than
he was yesterday. Bright and early
the friends of the old Roman were at
work in his behalf. In every hotel
they could at once be identified by the
miniature bandana that nestled in their
button-holes.
The Ohio delegation, with the State
Central and Executive committees and
invited guests, to total of about three
hundred, arrived this morning. They
came from Columbus on special train
as the guests of Calvin S. Bryce, the
Lima millionaire, and one of the dele
gates at large, and according to all ac-
counts, had decidedly hilarious time
of it en- route.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-The Post in
its first editorial column tomorrow
will say: -r 81 a
The reports from st. Louis are to the
effect that Mr.. Scott Of Pennsylvania,
who is believed, more than any other
member of the Sc. Louis Convention,
to represent President Cleveland, is
pushing Mr.. Thurman for the second
place on the ticket
Here in Washington we are quite as
positively assured that the President
has not indicated his preference for
Mr.. Thurman, and that Mr.. Scott, in
proposing and pushing the nomination
of that sturdy Democrat, is not repre-
senting the administration, but acting
on his own judgment and response
bility.
ST. LOUIS, June 4.-The Ohio delega.
tion this afternoon, after long and
acrimonious wrangle, decided to sup
port Thurman for e-President, il

makes Thurman's nomination political.
