CHICAGO, June 90 Associated Press l.
The fight between the Cleveland and Gray
factions in Indiana is over. Three months
ago the party organ of the state, THE
INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL, after having sup
ported Gray's candidacy for over a year,
came out boldly for the ex-president and
proclaimed: Indiana will stand up and
be counted for Grover Cleveland at Chi
cago."
Within twenty-four hours Gray's lieu
tenants from every county in the state
were in consultation with their chief at
Indianapolis. 1t was decided to oppose
the Cleveland movement and from that
day the politicians of the state have been
divided into two hostile factions. A drawn
battle was fought at Indianapolis April 81,
when the state convention selected
divided delegation to the ma
tonal convention. The two factions
of the delegations met for the first time
Saturday afternoon, when the Gray wing,
led BY Senator Voorhees,, captured every
thing in sight, from the Craftsmanship Of
the delegation TO the committeeman to
notify the nominees Of the convention.
Tie Cleveland faction, led bv S. +. Morss,
editor of THE SENTINEL did nothing more
than resolve to stay here all summer, if
necessary, to nominate Cleveland.
Up to 4 O'Clock this afternoon the men,
bors OF the two factions did not speak ne
they passed. The Cleveland men were
especially bitter at the Gray men for hav-
ing appropriated to themselves all the
committees At 3 o'clock both factions
held separate caucuses. The Cleveland
men were reinforced by @. r. Pollard and
J.. e. Cass of the Tenth district. For the
fret time these two delegates entered the
Cleveland caucus, both promising to stand
by Cleveland as long as his name
was before the convention. At the
Gray caucus the delegates were
demoralized. An informal talk
showed that every delegate conceded
Cleveland's denomination. In order to
place the state in creditable position be-
fore the country. it was decided not to
present Governor Gray's name but to join
the Cleveland faction and vote as a unit
for the ex-president The Cleveland fac
ton, having secured half of the delegation,
gave the antis to understand that il was
matter OF indifference TO them whether
they came over or not
When the two factions had been seated
in secret session at the Palmer house this
afternoon not word was uttered until
John f. Lamb announced that Governor
Gray's name would not be presented and
then moved that the delegation vote as
unit for Cleveland on first and subsequent
ballots.
Editor Morss, for the Cleveland side, de-
manded call of the delegation so that
each delegate be placed in black and
white. Every delegate voted for Cleve-
land.
James Murdock. another anti Cleveland
man, proposed that Senator Voorhees,
should second the nomination of Cleve-
land. Senator Voorhees,. at the request of
the delegation, accepted. W. +. English,
who mad been originally selected by the
Cleveland men to perform this duty. will
follow Senator Voorhees,, so that both fac
tions will second CIeveland's nomination.
Gray's name was not mentioned at the
