The E1-Cabinet Officer EXuberant
Over Cleveland's Prospects.
SURE OF GROWERS NOMINATION.
all This, Too, After Conference of Three
Hours With German.
A BIG PEOPLES PARTY CONVENTION

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
WASHINGTON, May 27.-Don NJ. Dick
inson has come to Washington with all the
facts as to the political situation at his
tongues end. He is more exuberant than
ever in his predictions of Cleveland's easy
nomination, although he does not repeat his
statement, made on his former visit to
Washington, that the ex-President will be
nominated before the State of New York is
reached on the roll call.
According to the enthusiastic Mr.. Dick
inson, however, the convention at Chicago
will be a mere formal gathering of Demo-
Gratis to confirm the selection of Mr.. Cleve-
land as the candidate. That the matter is
all settled in advance is shown by the fol-
lowing, published here this evening:
Ten minutes after Mr. Dickinson arrived
he was in a cab headed for the house of
Senator German, the clark horse" of the
situation. The conference which ensued
lasted three hours. To-day Mr. Dickinson
was again with Mr.. German IN the latter's
Senate committee room.
A Conference With the Faithful.
During the day he conferred with num-
Der of Cleveland men in both Houses of
Congress. He was generally active among
the Democrats. After declaring that there
was nothing to say, he said
''What is the use of discussing a GER
tainty? A few weeks ago it might have
been worth talking about-the Democratic
Presidential situation-but there is no
longer any situation, as it is settled, and
discussion OF possibilities is a part Of
ancient history"
fDo Won aop b,, tb;s bo1 x,o,, oro oI,o
lutely confident of Mr.. Cleveland's nomina-
tion ?''
'Assuredly do. So sure, In fact, that I
don't want to indicate by any discussion of
the subject that there is any open question
to discuss"
"What is this confidence based upon? Is
1t the results in New Jersey and Georgia ?'
Returns From the. Whole Country.
'eIt is the result everywhere. The whole
country has spoken. We have heard from
the South, from the West and Northwest
and, in short, from every section of the
country. The result in New Jersey was no
surprise, as 1 expected as much. The ma
chine went down, and, as usual, the force of
popular will carried the result for Cleve-
land
'Tt is being reported, Mr. Dickinson,
that Mr.. Cleveland will withdraw. Will
you authorize statement on this point?"
Eyes, with the greatest emphasis, "that
Mr.. Cleveland will not withdraw under any
circumstances, unless the people who have
demanded his services retire him.
''Did you see Mr.. Cleveland during your
visit in New York yesterday"
eyes, and found him as serene and free
from care as ever"
Cleveland a Candidate to the End.
4 special from Philadelphia says: Secre-
tary Of State Harrity, Attorney General
Hensel and John R. Read, formerly United
States District Attorney for this section of
the State, returned home tonight from
New York, where they have been in con-
Cleveland. While quite reticent regarding
the object of their visit, they admit that
they saw Mr.. Cleveland and go so
far as to say that he will be
surely nominated at the Chicago Con-
vention. While in New York they had a
long conference at the Hotel Brunswick,
with George E. Parker, who is looked upon
as Mr.. Cleveland's personal representative.
A number of other Democrats from other
States arrived in New York quietly at the
'ame time, and as quietly slipped away.
Don NJ Dickinson, of Michigan, was one of
hese. Mr.. Harrity when questioned to-
llgnt SalQ -tnat ne was In tne city on bus1-
less.
SIS Mr.. Cleveland still a candidate?',
81 think he is"
"Will he be nominated ?''
stIt looks very much that way"
Mr. Read, when interviewed, said: IT do |
lot think there is any doubt but what Mr.. |
Cleveland will be nominated. He has an |
majority in the convention
nd think can win easily"
Still Another Account Of 1t.
A telegram from New York tonight
ives another account of the visit of the
in that style. Secretary
Iarrity, who is the head and front of the
cleveland contingent of Pennsylvania, was
sked what it all meant. He said that he
anne over from Philadelphia to have good
ime and get change Of air.
'Is there any politics in it?' he was
sked.
"well," replied Mr.. Harrity cautiously,
politics is only side ISSUE
Then the contingent gathered up their
raps and went down down. The positive
was made tonight that Mr..
cleveland was candidate to the end, and
'ould win.
