The record-union., 1892-06-20

ishing, and tonight the rank and file of
the Cleveland forces are rejecting with
disdain the counsel of those conservative
leaders who warned them against possible
defeat in nominating Cleveland in the
face of Tammany, and reply by avowing
that the ex-President is the candidate of
the nation, and his destiny above the
sway of any particular State or faction.
TALK or DARK HORSES DISAPPEARING.
Tonight the names of German, Morri-
son, Campbell and Russell, which were SO
frequently discussed day or two ago as
dark horses, are scarcely mentioned in
political predictions. The only avowed
candidates tonight are Cleveland, Hill
and Boies.
The situation has cleared up to the ex-
tent of indicating plainly to all that dark
horses are not to be ushered into the po-
litical arena unless Cleveland shall fail OF
the nomination on the first ballot.
The Illinois delegation, under direction
OF Palmer, will vote for Cleveland on the
first ballot, and probably on the various
succeeding ballots as long as the ex-Pres-
ldent is in the race. This announcement,
which was made unofficially from the
illinois headquarters to-day, has given u
great impetus to the Cleveland move
ment, and the leaders of the ex-President
are asserting with great confidence that
they have now the assurances of the two
thirds vote requisite for nomination.
Indiana has given unmistakable evil
dence that its delegation will not act as a
unit, and Gray will hardly receive more
than seventeen or eighteen votes from
that State, the remainder going to Cleve-
land.
As Ex-Governor Campbell has taken
particular pains to announce that under
no circumstances VIII he allow his name
on the list of Presidential candidates, the
Cleveland people are relying explicitly
on thirteen votes of Ohio being cast for
the great tariff reform leader. So from
Indiana, Illinois and Ohio alone there
seems to be assured for Cleveland over
seventy votes which yesterday appeared
20 be wavering.
kentucky, another great doubtful State,
still looms up uncertain. The power of
Henry Watterson seems TO be having it's
influence on the delegation, and while
many of its members are very friendly TO
Cleveland, the conservative friends Of the
eX-President are not yet relying explic-
lily upon substantial support from there.
IOWA TRUE TO BoIEs.
Iowa is still true to Boies, New Yorl<'s
seventytwo votes are conceded to Hill,
and it appears probable that he may re-
ceive couple Of hundred more from
various sections Of the Union.
The Cleveland people are no longer in
dulging in the hope that the Hill man
ayers will magnanimously recede from
their past position and submit to the nom
ination of Cleveland, but are now using
every effort to placate Che Tammany lead
ers, and induce loyal support in the event
of Cleveland's nomination.
Since the missionary work of ex-Secre-
tary Whitney and other conservatives, it
is noticeable that the Tammany leaders
are no longer talking so loudly of their
hoplessness of carrying New York for
Cleveland, and Whitney and others to-
night express the belief that if Cleveland
is nominated Tammany will give the
ticket vigorous support.
GoRMAN's BOOM SHORT LIVED.
The German boom budded prematurely
and has been clipped by the early frosts
of adverse criticism. The Cleveland peo-
pie of the South rather resented the in
situation that Gorman's past opposition
to the force bill is destined 10 attract to
his standard the Cleveland people of the
South, and the result of the two days
campaign of the Senator's secret workers
has not shown a score of outspoken Cor
man delegates III the whole South outside
of his own State of Maryland. The Sena-
tor himself emphatically denies his can
didacy and says Maryland's vote will be
cast for Cleveland.
MORRISON STOCK GOING DOWN.
There is a marked subsistence, too, in
the Morrison boom. His friends main
tain that it is Morrison's desire that Illi-
nois should support Cleveland Loyalty as
long as there is a probability of his nomi-
nation, and as Senator Palmer is urging
the same thing it seems there is no likeli-
hood that the Illinois vote will be cast for
either OF these favorite sons on the first
ballot. Indeed, forty-eight Illinois votes
have been shifted from the doubtful to
the Cleveland column in every con-
servatlve estimate to-day, and the Prairie
State has been most potential in turning
the tide for Cleveland just at this Juno
ture.
TO an Associated Press reporter Gen
eral Palmer said: Il have come here to
consult with the delegation, to the end
that there may be united action. | want
the State carried for Cleveland, and I be-
lieve it can be done if he is nominated.
l believe in contributing to CIeveland's
nomination by giving him the solid vote
of Illinois. Suppose Illinois supports
Cleveland, and he is nominated, then
those New York Democrats have either
got to support him or go out of the DEM
ocratic party
HENRY GEORGE FOR CLEVELAND.
There were two powerful accessions to
the Cleveland ranks made tonight by the
arrival of Henry George, the single tax
advocate, and Congressman t. L. John
son of Cleveland, Ohio. Both Johnson
and George believe that Cleveland viii be
nominated and triumphantly elected.
