field. 1t lacks, except in the case Of Hill
and Boles, courage. Everywhere it is
honeycombed with fear and Jealousy.
What can be done with such field as this? !?
Is it any wonder that ex-Secretary Whit
ney should say as he did to-day, This is an
easy iob?'' Or is it surprising that Senator
Brice should conclude, as he concluded yes
terday, that Cleveland has too many votes
and the other fellows too much cowardice
to change the current Of events?
Tammany is badly in the dumps. From
New York by special train came 1900 of
their staunchest heeIers to howl for Hill,
and on their arrival here they found that
their man was simply out Of it.

PRACTICALLY SETTLED.
Gray Steps Out and the South KlH Stand by
Cleveland.


CHICAGO, June 20.-At a meeting of the
Gray faction Of the Indiana delegation held
this afternoon ii was decided not to present
Gray's name, but to join the Cleveland fac
ton and vote as a unit for the ex-President.
The factions then went into joint caucus,
and it was announced that the delegation
would vote as unit for Cleveland on the
first and subsequent ballots. The r0lcall
showed that every delegate voted for Cleye-
land. At the request Of the delegation,
Senator Voorhees, undertook to second
Cleveland'S nom nation.
The effort to break the back bone Of the
Cleveland movement by removing some of
its vertebre in the South has also met with
poor success. and the strongest anti Cleve-
land Southern leaders now practically ad-
nit its failure. 1t is now conceded by them
that Cleveland's nomination on the first
ballot is a strong probability. Even the
Hell people, in part at least are now ready
to admit defeat. and in doing so give all the
credit to the generalship of eX-Secretary
Whitney.
Tonight, when asked his opinion Of the
outcome of the convention, Hon. Patrick
Walsh of Augusta, Ca, who has been out
spoken in his opposition to Cleveland, said:
The contest for the Presidential nOmina-
ton is virtually ended tonight and there is
no longer any doubt as to the nomination of
Cleveland on the first ballot. 1t is even
prOba bic that there will be no formal pres
entation of other candidates

vention, and that no fight would be made
in the convention on the temporary chair
manship.
Governor Albeit of New Jersey, it is be-
lieved. is slated to make the nominating
speech Tor CleY Gland.
The above result is believed to have been
brought about by the enforcement of the
unit rule in Illinois, Indiana, Pennsylvania
and Missouri.
ClevelaDd's victory, ii must also be ad-
mitted, is in large measure due to the firm
stand on behalf of the ex-President taken
by Senator Palmer Of Illinois and ex-Gov-
ernor Campbell of Ohio.
1t is understood that an attempt is being
made tonight to reconcile the troubles with
in the Democratic party in New York.
The nomination of Cleveland is conceded.
and it is said that the members of both fac
tiOns OF New York have urged Senator Hill
to withdraw his name and permit the vote
of New York to be given to Cleveland. thus
making his nomination practically by accla-
nation possible.

also favored making the Hill mans sur

concession that could be asked which did

New YORK, June 2O.-The World will
say editorially tomorrow: 1.-The New York
delegation to Chicago tied itself with resO-
luton to support Senator Hill so long as he
should be candidate for the Presidency.
Senator Hill is not candidate, but is
simply holding the delegation together as
means of beating Cleveland. The nomina-
tjon Of Hill has long been seen to be wholly
improbable. 1t is now known to be utterly
impossible Why should tho New York
delegation lend itself to an effort to thwart
the wish of the Democracy Of the nation
and to defeat the one New Yorker who can
be nominated? This Is not Democratic. II

REPORTS FROM THE WARDS
Indications That the Democrats Will
Win Their Entire Ticket.

The election which Is now i'm progress
is the most important that has taken
place for years.
1t will have much bearing on National
politics.
The voters thoroughly understand this
and both parties are fighting hard.
The weather is all that could be desired,
and there will undoubtedly be tremen-
dous vote cast.
The battle began with will just as the
polls opened and has been continuing
with great vigor all day.
The banks are closed as today is a legal
holiday, but the big mill owners evidently
care nothing for the election law. How
ever, the number Of Democratic working
men who will not have their ballots In the
boxes at p. m. will be very small indeed.
They are thoroughly aroused.
The Republican leaders are swimming
In money but it does not seem TO be doing
much good. They are afraid TO use it
openly and, besides, the rank and file of
the Democracy hold their principles toe
high to be purchased today.
They are stronger than Doodle.
At the time OF going to press the indica-
tions were that the Democrats would
carry the city and that they were getting
a great portion OF the increased vote. Be-
low are reports from the wards:

FIFTH WARD.

The familiar faces OF Warden Collins
and Clerk Cannon greeted the voters in
this ward this morning. There were over
rs ballots deposited in the first hour.
The Ward Committee, under the super
vision of ID. F. Harold, is doing very
effective work In getting the aged voters
TO the polls.
There were little over 800 votes cast at
IL o'clock and those who have watched
how elections have progressed for years
say that fully 1000 votes will be cast to-
day. Ex-Governor Davis cast his vote in
this ward about $50 o'clock.
One Of the Republican supervisors who
has charge OF the ballots was detected in
supplying two School Committee ballots
to voter. Public attention was called
to the matter and the warden threatened
to remove him IL he did not perform his
duty according to law.
