land Men.

Charge Of the Cleveland

CHICAGO. June 10 The situation i'll
the Indiana delegation is even more
strained tonight than at the conclusion
of last nights caucus. No attempt has
been made on either side to make the
two wings flop together. The anti
Cleveland contingent, led by Senator
Voorhees,. is somewhat demoraliZed.
Senator Voorhees, comedies the nomina-
ton of Cleveland, yet he does not feel
disposed to allow the thirty votes OF his
state to be recorded for the ex-presi-
dent. James Murdoch, one of the two
Independent delegates, would be willing
to join the Cleveland faction and give
the solid delegation to their candidate
to save Gray for the second place, bat
it is alleged that there are anti-Cleve-
land men in the delegation, who, at
heart, are not friendly towards Gov.
Gray and do not desire to see him nonl-
mated.
LAS chairman of the delegation 1t
would be improper for me to say how
the vote will stand before we poll 1t"
said Senator Voorhees, to reporter this
evening.
Senator, what will the anti-Cleve-
land faction do? Will Gray's name be
preSented?'
Il am only one of the seventeen anti
Cleveland faction, so called" answered
Mr.. VOORHEES,. Il cannot speak for the
other sixteen"
"Then, speaking for yourself. what
do you think will be the probable action
of the Gray men?"
Il cannot say now. The delegation
will meet tomorrow afternoon, when it
will be polled. We cannot say what we
will do until then. Cleveland will get
thirteen votes sure. That we cOncede
on the first ballot"
will he get the solid delegation on
the second ballOtY"
Yes, to make his nomination unani-
nous. You can say that i believe
Cleveland will be nominated, and that
we will 90 home and work hard to carry
Indiana for him."
Charles Jewett. one of the delegates
at large, said: las it looks now | ex-
pect to cast my vote for Gov. Gray,
whether his name is placed before the
convention or not. and | know further
that other delegates feel just as do"
The Cleveland wing is OutSpoken and
aggressive 1--WE have no programme
to conceal" said S. E. Morss, the leader
of this faction. I'VE will give fifteen
votes to Cleveland. We have twelve
men who will fight to the last ditch for
Cleveland"
These twelve apostles of Cleveland
are in almost constant session at their
headquarters in the Palmer house.
At this mornings meeting nothing was
done with the exception of appointing
William E. English to second the nomi-
nation of Cleveland on behalf of nine
tenthS of the Democrats of Indiana. 1t
was also decided to present Gov Gray'S
name for second place in the event that
the Gray faction came over in time to
cast the solid vote of the state for Cleve-
land. They will meet daily at IL o'clock
until the nomination has been made.
The twelve Cleveland last ditchers
| are S. E. Morss, editor of the Indianap-
lis Sentinel, and delegate at large;
Phillip Zoercher. Of the First district;
w. S. Shirley and o. B. johnson, of the
Fifth; w. E. English and w. G. Ayers,
of the Seventh; Thomas Catiin, of the
Eighth; j. r. Tyne, of the Ninth; n. B..
Newman and S. NJ. Foster, of the
Twelfth; H. c. Chester and D. NJ. Pack
ard, of the Thirteenth. E. p. Richard-
! son, of the First, was instructed to vote
for Cleveland. but he is all anti at heart
and does not meet with the Cleveland
men. Il will vote for Cleveland, but
hope he will not be nominated" said he
today to reporter.
Three of the delegates, Morss, Eng
/ lish and Ayers, reside at Indianapolis,
Gov. Gray home, but they are uncom-
promising Cleveland men. 1--WE were
elected on the Cleveland ISSUE" said
Judge Ayers, land we would not dare
to return home if we did not vote for
| Cleveland"
Chairman Taggart, of the state COM
mlttee, is of the opinion that the Gray
men will finally come over. and that the
| thirty votes of Indiana will be cast for
| Cleveland"
