Sains when a cause is so near victory as
Mr.. Cleveland's seems to be. The most
competent judges of the situation say
that nothing short CT great Revision OF
feeling can defeat Mr.. Cleveland's nomina-
tion, WHICH is very unlikely to occur before
"a ballot is taken. Besides, nearly tWo-
thirds of the men whose opinions must be
affected to bring this about are Cleveland

SENATOR GoRMAN.
} The anti-Cleveland factions, among
(which may be included not only the forces
spf Senator Hill, but also those of Messrs.
EBoies and Gray, and the secret but very
Earnest workers of Senator German, deride
has unreasonabIy extravagant the figures
hof the Cleveland leaders, and assert that
fIheir investigations show that the eX-
spresident is assured of but little over
Enaiorlty on the first ballot. Probably the
most uncertain feature in the whole con-
iest just at this time is the attitude OF
Senator German of Maryland. He is here
ais the leader of the Maryland delegation,
as a delegate-at-largc, and outwardly
anantsins that he is devoted TO the candl-
tlacy of Mr.. Cleveland: but, despite this
1, n nd "a
that of any other as the compromise can
Gidate around whom must rally all the
factions and scattering delegates opposed
TO the reorganization of the ex-president
So it is that man who is the exposure of
all eyes, and whose movements are eagerly
watched today by the leaders of the CIeve-
1and forces, is the senator from the Terra
pin state.
The caucus of the German men, held
sast night, did not adjourn till O'Clock
his morning. The question of placing
Mr.. German iu nomination was left unset
lied Mr. Compton of Maryland, a close
Friend and a near neighbor of Mr.. Cor
1nan's said this morning that the reports
1hat Mr.. German would be placed in NOM
5nation were incorrect; that the question
was still undecided, Senator German. he
said, after canvassing the situation, had
found that be was weak in places where
He thought he WAS strong, and under
hhese circumstances the movement on
DIR. Germans behalf would result in
Throwing the uninstructed delegates to Mr.
Gleveland. The Alabama delegation,
(which was supposed to be favorable to
lSenator German, arrived this morning
The delegation is badly split. There are
some German men, but there are also
1many strong Cleyeland men who will not
give way an inch.
THE HOIES BOOMERS.
The loyalty of the Iowa delegation to
Il he candidacy Of Governor Horace Boies
thas aroused the admiration of the Democ
'racy of the nation. The Boies mana gers
,have demonstrated 50 emphatically that
'1he tweuty-siX votes of Iowa are immoy- |
ably welded TO the hopes of the Hawkeye |
governor that Iowa occupies the unique |
position of being the only state in the |
Union whose delegation is not claimed, in |
whole or in part, by either Mr.. Cleveland |
or some of the minor candidates The |
suggestion that Governor Boies |
would be vice presidential candidate in |
the event OF Mr.. Cleyeland's selection does |
not find courteous reception in the Iowa |
headquarters. 1t is distinctly stated that |
Governor BoeS Is not a candidate and will |
not accept the nomination for vice presi- |
dent.
The opposition to Mr. Cleveland, finding |
that Senator German Is not strong enough |
10 rally sufficient force to beat the ex- |
president ard to prevent his nomination
pn the first ballot, have turned to the |
idol OF the Iowa Democracy, Horace Boes. |
The effect has been TO give increased prom
inence to the Boies boom. The Boies |
boomers have secured scattering strength |
from various sections. They have some |
votes pledged from the Rocky mountain !
region, and this morning South Carolina, !
fearful of Mr. Cleveland's growing |
strength, announced willingness to give |
Governor BOes twelve votes 1t is also |
that Henry Watterson and Seua-
Tor Brice are favorable to Governor Boies. |
The latter's leaders also claim portion ef
The Virgidia delegation. Thus, with the
above named votes, supported by Tam
)nany and the Hill strength in the south,
they expect to muster strength sufficient
10 prevent Mr.. Cleyeland's nomination on
She first ballot.
Senator Carlisle does not take kindly to
the Boies movement, and will oppose
having anything to do with it.
ExSecretaIy Whitney this morning
sad that be was not disturbed by the COM
binations against Mr.. Cleveland The
eX-president had now $50 votes on the first
ballot, which no movement could take
away.
