Chicago. June 2O.-One Of the surprises OF the day
was the statement Of Mr.. Taggart, the committeeman
from Indiana that thirty votes Of that state would
be cast for Cleveland on the first palo' anu uA'
Governor Gray's name would not be brought before
the convention by Senator voorhees, or By ANYBODY
else. s
Up 10 a O'Clock this afternoon the members OF Inc
two Indiana motions did not speak as they passed Dy'
The Cleveland men were especially bitter against the
Gray men for having appropriated to themselves Az
the committees. At O'Clock both iacuonS heio
separate caucuses The Cleveland men were reinforced
by c. r. Pollard and J. z. Cass, of the Ath District.
For the first time these two delegates entered TIE
Cleveland caucus, both promising to STAND Dy Sie'e
land as long as his name was before the cohVehuoh'
AT the Gray caucus the delegates were demordh1ea"
An informal talk showed that every delegate conceded
C1eyelands nomination. In order to place the state
in credi,abe position before the country 1t was de-
c,ded not TO present Governor Gray's name, but 10
ton the Cleveland faction and vote as unit ior
the ex-Presdent. The Cleveland faction having Sc
cured half Of the delegation gave the "antis' TO
understand that 1t was a matter OF indifference !"
them whether they came over or not.
When the two factions had been seated In secret
session nj the Palmer House this afternoon not a
word was uttered until Jonn E. Lamb announced that

reached tho Victoria HOTEL where the State Com
mIttee and the Indiana clubs quartered there was
great rejoicing The action OF the delegation was re-
ceIved with general approval On the result OF the
m..ana delegation. Editor Morss said: 81 For months
we have maintained that 90 per cent Of the Demo-
Gratis favored the nomination OF Cleveland,
and the action OF the delegation to-day confirms
our claims have no doubt that the anti-Cleveland
delegates were Influenced by the food Of kilograms re-
ceived by them to-day from all parts Of the state
urging them TO stand up for Cleveland. The arrival
Of visiting clubs from other parts of the State and
thousands OF other Democrats Of Indiana who are In
the city shouting for Cleveland and demanding bis
nomination was only an additional evidence, II any
WIS needed that Cleveland and nobody else was the
choice of the Democracy Of the State for President.
The action Of the delegation in uniting on Cleveland
ends tho fight and leaves doubt OF our ability
to carry Indiana by handsome majority
Indiana Democrats will feel particularly gratifed

that in all the National conventions since 1854 the
Indiana delegations voted for hopeless candidates aud
were even prevented from voting TO make the nomina
tons unanimous by irOnclad Instructions Indiana
now comes to the front and II she receives the Vice
Presidency It will be for the purpose Of healing
her wounded feelings, but merely manifestation OF
practical politics
The nomination Of Grover Cleveland Will create
more enthusiasm than any other that could be made;
in fact no other nomination could create any en-
thusiasm In Indiana.
There bargain made with the anti-Cleve-
land faction by which they were to support Cleve-
land in consideration OF the nomination of Governor
Gray for Vice President Governor Grsy's name was
not mentioned. and the other faction came over u us

action OF the delegation this afternoon speaks for
itself II the Cleveland faction had been willing
to vote Governor GRAY his would have been
presented 10 the convention. We realize that his
chances were hopeless with "a divided delegation
Indiana will cast her thirty votes for Cleveland In
the convention. and In the Electoral College he vii
receive her fifteen votes. I am satisfied
Indianapolis June 20.-When Governor Gray was
Informed this afternoon that the Indiana delegation had
decided not 10 present his name to the convention,
he said he WAS not surprised. lie said he had eX-
pccted that such would be the decision. But he
added, 81 will be voted for anyhow"
