1t certainly ends all doubt as 10 the or
ganiZaiion of the convention. The
strength of Cleveland. as developed
IN the meeting. is scarcely disputed by
those who opposed him, and is
by he figures shown TO be sufficiently
great TO end the contest as TO who shall be
the nominee for president. To an
Associated Press representative i'm
mediately after the meeting ex-Secretary
Whitney said:
In view OF the situation as IL Is now known to
exist, there will b. no contest for temporary
Chairman. which means that W. C. Owens, OF
Kentucky. will be temporary chairman. 1t was

Various states have brought resolutions which
they wished embodied in the platform. These
have caused to be printed for the convenience
of the resolutions committee.
Whitney stated that he understood Gray
had been rdvised not TO permit his name
to go before the convention for the presi-
dency, and while Gray has not boon
heard from he was satisfied his
name would not be presented
Whitney also stated that no pledge had
been given the Gray men, although the
logic of the situation would naturally
bring the vice-presidency to Indi-
ana. It was stated at the caucus that
German would not be a candidate, and
he was even willing to nominate or to sec
ond Cleveland's nomination. Another
member of the caucus had in his hand
what he said was an anti-Cieveland
poll, which claimed 372 uotes in
convention against Cleveland if Gray and
German were kept in the field. Indiana,
having taken Gray out OF the running,
took seventy-four votes from the esti-
mate, and if German was not
pressed about thirty-four votes more
would have to be deducted from il. 1t
was stated that South Carolina.
Mississippi and Georgia would
certainly give somebody some
votes against Cleveland, with chances
that they would go to Boies upon whom
the He'll men are trying to combine.
Senator Bayard urged policy Of concilia-
ton toward Hill and Tammany. Villas
also favored making the Hill mems sur
render as easy as possible. and granting
every concession that could be asked
which did not affect Cleveland.
1t is understood an attempt is being
made tonight to reconcile the troubles
within the Democratic party in
New York. The nomination of
Cleveland is conceded, and il is said the
members of both factions in New York
have urged Senator Hill to withdraw his
name and permit the vote of New York to
be given To Cleveland and the nomination
