leader of Tammany said that Hill would
nave at least go votes on the first ballot
@nd Cleveland probably 500. There has

falmer, 4S; Carlisle, So; Boies, 26.
X. These results are arrived at by splitting
idelegations, but it is believed most of the
Yates will vote under the unit rule. If
HEY do Mr.. Hills vote would be reduced
~ 2l5 and Cleveland's increased to 577, or
sitlin ~ of the requisite number.
= In this event either the vote of Ken
lucky, Iowa or Illinois would nominate
Ihe ex-President, unless South Carolina and
Virginia. whose delegations are claimed to
be equally divided, should cast their AZ
Votes for Hill
The nine Cleveland men from Connect
cut prefer Hill for second choice, and that

cent that If Cleveland does not win in two
BALLOTS his chances are destroyed.
