of New Jersey has not made known its po-
sition, but Governor Albeit will presum-
ably control the votes and they will hardly
be for Cleveland.
All the returns and indications confirm
the estimate announced in THE DISPATCH
month ago that Cleveland will have a
clear majority of the Chicago convention on
the initial ballot, but will not hive the
necessary. .two-thirds the first time the roll
is called. His friends claim he will secure
them by the time the changes are in, while
his opponents still hope to. present solid
phalan1 of a little more than one-third of the
gathering. From present indications the
margin on either side of the two-thirds line
will be a narrow one, though a stampede
may sweep everything before it.

The City of Cumberland, Maryland.

CUNBERLAND, the Queen City of the Alle-
ghenies," is one of the most beautifully 10
Gated towns in the South, and is the second
city in the State, having now a population
OF over l3, 600, and is the county seat of Alle-
gany county. Maryland, and the main
DEPOT of supplies for a large mum Der of towns
within radius OF 100 miles. 1t.iS the most
important station between Baltimore and
Chicago on the main stem of the B. & o. Il.
r., and is now the end Of three divisions OF
that road. 1t is the terminus of the Cum
berland and Pennsylvania Railroad, the
Bedford division of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, the Pittsburg and Connellsville Rail-
road, the West Virginia Central Railroad,
and the Georges Creek and Cumberland
Railroad, and is also the head of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal, over which large
amount of the Cumberland coal from the
coal region is shipped to tidewater.
The advantages afforded by CUMBERLAND
as locatio for manufactures are manifold
and important. First is that great desidera-
tum, cheap fuel. Cumberland coal is known
as the best steam generator in the world,
and is sold in Cumberland to domestic con-
sumers at 81 so per ton and to manufacturers
for 81 so per ton, delivered. 1t is lighted by
gas and electricity, and has, among other
things, IS miles of paved streets, 80 miles

population. Many of the employees of these
are obliged to live at great
distance from their work on account of the
lack of dwelling houses, and the new popu-

In this table half of Indiana's vote is
placed in the doubtful list, though the State
Convention iniorsed Cleveland. In Illinois
the Democrats Endorsed both Cleveland and
Palmer. 1t is regarded here as very prob
able that the As votes will first be cast for
Palmer and then, probably during the in
itial roll call, be changed over to the Cleve-
land column. If so, the movement could
not fail TO have very important effect ON
the result
The Delegates Yet to Be Namnd
A total of 800 delegates, in States and
Territories scattered all over the country,
are still to be chosen. Alabama has con-
test on hand nearly as bitter as that iast de-
cided in Georgia Florida's eight votes are
claimed for the Cleveland column, while
Louisiana Democrats have been so busy
with their State factional fight that they
have paid very little attention to national
matters, and only guess can be made at
their preferences Hill has secured little
foothold in Mississippi but the ex-Presi.
dent is still the favorite there, and will
come out ahead unless the Alliance takes a
vigorous part in favor of some new candi-
date. Tennessee is also the scene of a
struggle, but the tide has lately changed
toward the heavyweight idol of the Mug
wumps, although solid delegation is not
expected.
Kentuckv's position is just now very un-
certain. Watterson has declared against
both of the New York candidates, and pro-
nounced for Senator Carlisle but that apos-
tie of free trade is not believed to be a can
didate, and the supporters of Cleveland
claim him as one of their number. Hill
also has some strength in the State, and if
Carlisle is not in the field will probably Sc
cure few scattering votes. The bulk of
the delegation, though, is expected to
eventually land in the opposite column,
Arkansas seems favorable to Cleveland, and
Mills influence in Texas will be thrown in
that direction. Maryland's position is un-
certain, as German may still enter the race,
while the West Virginia Democrats, both
the leaders and the masses, are pronounced
in favor of Grover
Northern States to Hear From.
In the North two of the New England
States, Maine and Vermont, have still to
select delegates to the Chicago Convention.
Hills friends have put forth some efforts in
the Pine Tree Commonwealth, but Cleye-
lands followers claim an easy victory in
both States. The most important delega-
tlon yet to be named in the North, how
ever, is that of OHIO. Some of the districts
have already chosen their representatives..
ma iority of those so far announced being
friendly to Cleveland, according to ex-Goy-
ernor Campbell, who strongly fayors the
nomination OF the e1-President. Senator
Brice is reported to De managing the oppos-
ing forces, and divided delegation is ex-
pected.
In the West Colorado and some of the
other small silver States are still to be
heard from. Colorado Republicans in
structed their delegates to Minneapolis to
vote for no candidate who was opposed to
free coinage, but the Democrats will hardly
duplicate this action. The doubtful State
