The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-06-05

The Pennsylvania delegation held a meet
ing this forenoon and after its adjournment
the announcement was made that two
thirds of the delegates from the keystone
state favored the old Senator and that the
minority would vote for him under the unit
rule. This, of course, meant that Mr.. Scott
had thrown his State for Thurman, and
when the fact became known there was no
longer any doubt of the success of the Scott
programme.
MARYLAND FALLS INTO LINE.
Following the news of this action of the
pennsylvania delegation came the intelli
gence that the 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 Con
gresham Scott and Senator German had
come to some sort of an agreement, and
that the two great leaders of the party were
united on the ticket. Still, the Gray advo-
Gates made an effort to keep up the fight,
Ohio, oddly enough being their only hope,
but 1t was like struggling against West
Indies hurricane.
The friends of Gen. Black opened their
headquarters at the Lindell hotel this morn
ing. and attempted to get up a boom for
him, but their efforts met with little sue
cess, the general feeling being that if Thur
man was not put through, Gray could
easily win.
oHIo's QUEER ATTITUDE.
From the first there has been something
queer about the attitude of the Ohio delega-
ton. 1t has talked for Thurman,
but has not been enthusiastic In his
behalf, and the matter was discussed
for more than an hour in the meeting of the
delegation this afternoon. The result was
an Endorsement of Thurman, though it was
with much difficulty that any anti-Thur-
man men we're won over. A resolution was
offered by delegate Baker pledging the
Ohio delegation to vote for Thurman if his
name was presented to the convention.
This was in the nature of a compromise,
as a majority Of the delegates wanted to
make Thurman The Ohio candidate and to
be presented by the state, while others
opposed him outright. Forty-four delegates
were for the resolution and two did not
VOTE
JUMPING WITH THE CROWD.
New York and many other states were
simply waiting to see what action Ohio
would take and at their meetings
this evening joined the Thurman
procession. Gov. Gray's managers
probably will not put their favorite's
name before the convention unless the NOM
nation Of Thurman, which now seems a
foregone conclusion, is not satisfactory to

cry of the Gray boomers: "You want In
diana in November, don't you" chow are
you going to win without indianaW and
"how are you going to carry In
diana without an Indiana man on
the ticketen has been used with SO much
effect that many delegates believe a serious
a mistake is being made in the nomination

Had Senator German stood faithfully by
Gray, the Thurman tide might have been

candidacy of the Indiana man fell to pieces
for lack Of support
THE SLOPE FOR THE OLD WAR HORSE
The Pacific coast took a positive stand
this afternoon on the much mooted Ques-
tion of second place on the national ticket.
After a meeting at o'clock this afternoon,
the mists of doubt we're dispelled, and Cali
fornia, Oregon and Nevada will go into the
convention solid for Thurman Great en-
thusiasm prevailed at the appointed hour
when the purple and silver doomed up at
the coast headquarters in sufficient strength
to show that California 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 ballot
ing for candidates, and advocated the nomi-
nation of the Ohio judge as the only man
who could swerve the floating vote of the
coast and lead the democratic banners to
victory.
He was followed by Hon. w. H. English,
the harbor commissioner of San Francisco,
In the same strain, and Senator Miller of
Nevada indorsed every sentiment that had
been uttered by the other speakers. There
could be no question as to the disposition of
the delegates, and When the question was for
mally presented in the form of a resolution,
the nomination of Thurman was approved
by accamation.
OHIO A UNIT FOR THE JUDGE.
After an all-the-afternoon session
the Ohio delegation adjourned for
man as a unit. At the same time meet
ing was called for 7:30 o'clock to meet the
Indiana delegation. A few moments before
the hoosiers were expected vote was
taken, resulting in the unanimous support
of Thurman. The Indiana people were ad-
mitted and occupied an hour in giving their
reasons why Gray should have the support
of the convention. They had their say but
it was useless. There are several malcon-
tents.
oHIo'S RESOLUTION.
The following resolution was adopted by
a vote Of Al out Of 46, the two delegates,
Messrs. Brady and Frintz, from Cincinnati,
being excused fr IN voting:
"The democracy of Ohio does not urge
any candidate for the vice presidency. 1t
submits the question to the wisdom Of the
democracy of tie nation. Should Judge
Thurman be named, he will receive our
hearty, earnest and enthusiastic support
1t is understood that the sense of this res
olution meets the wishes Of Judge Thurman
in the premises, as no gave his friends the
understanding he did not wish that Ohio
should present has name. or press his candi-
dacy upon the convention; he preferred that
the democracy of the country SHOULD ex
press their choice, and that Ohio should i'll
dorse that CT oice, and the resolution meets
this situation.
There is no longer any reason to doubt
that Judge Tburman's candidacy meets the
approval of President Cleveland and the
administration. Congressman Scott is
credited with openly asserting that the
President is desirous of Judge Thurman's
nomination, and kilograms received by the
Ohio delegation from Secretary Whitney
leave no doubt on this point.
