BARKs ON THE SEA OF POLITICS.
Cleveland's White Sails Looming
Above All the Others.

Cleveland's White Sails Looming
Above All the others.
CHICAGO. June II, Z P. M.-There are
many presidential barks tossing about on
tho political sea tonight, but through the
mists and shadows the hull of Cleveland's
hopes looms ominously above them all. II
is, indeed, Cleveland against the field and
the field against Cleveland. Everybody
realizes that the great question of the con-
vention is, will MIR. Cleveland be nomi-
mated on the first ballots Should the logic
of events answer this question iu the mega
tive the friends of all the secondary candi-
dates will feel that the lists are
then open to their favorites,
for somehow the conviction has gone forth
that a failure of the ex-President to receive
the nomination on the enthusiasm Of the
first ballot means the elimination of the
great tariff reformer from the contest
They feel that temporary check to the
Cleveland impetuosity will be TO destroy all
the magic of his name and that no subse-
quent effort can possibly swell his following
on the first ballot.
NOT CONCEDED BY THE CLEVELAND MEN.
All this is the opinion entertained by dele
cations who have fevorite sons to Offer but
Il by no means follows that the correctness
of the opinion is conceded by the Cleveland
managers. Far from it. They maintain
that while they believe their man will be
nominated on the frat ballot, failure to
receive the requisite two-tnirds on that
ballot will not be an Indication of his
subsequent defeat, for they expect impor-
tant accessions from the followers OF Gov.
Boies, Senator Hill and ex-Gov. Gray after
their states have paid complimentary
tribute to the favorite sons. The various
presidential candidates, dark horses and
possibilities discussed tonight are ex-
President Cleveland, Senator Hill and Gov.
Flower of New York, Gov. Boies Of Iowa,
Senator Palmer Of Illinois, ex-Gov. Gray Of
Indiana, Senator German of Maryland,
Senator Carlisle of Kentucky. ex-ReDresen-
tative Morrison of Illinois, ex-Gov. Campbell
of Ohio, Gov. Russell of Massachusetts and
Gov. Pattisou of Pennsylvania. Messrs.
Cleveland, Hill, Boies, Gray and probably
Palmer and German will all have following
on the first ballot, but the others dgure en-
tirely as dark horses and compromise cam
didAtes.
NEW ARRIVALS FOR CLEVELAND.
The arrival of a number of delegates from
different sections of the country to-day
helped the Cleveland campaigners and show
that from all parts of the country there was
popular sentiment favorable to Mr..
Cleveland, but the arriving delegates were
not in sufficient numbers for tho crystalli-
ZatlOn necessary bO-WelRn the prODaDlLtleS
that their sentiment would be strong enough
to secure a tTo-thirds vote for Mr..
Cleveland. The talk about the unavailable
ity Of Mr.. Cleveland on account Of lock of
support in New York has had some effect
on the delegates, and there we're occasional
evidences that this was a matter Of serious
concern to many delegates, some of whom
were for Mr.. Cleveland because of the
wishes, expressed or implied, of constituents,
while personally they felt dubious about
taking that course.
MINNESOTA FOR CLEVELAND.
Messrs. Keky and Doran. leaders of che
Minnesota democracy, got in during the
day and reported that Minnesota was red
hot for Mr.. Cleveland and that Mr.. Cleve-
land would get nearly the whole delegation.
From Nebraska Mr.. Creighton preceded
his delegation. He thought Nebraska was
for Mr.. Cleveland.
Ex-Congressman Clunie OF California said
that the unit rule was in force. in Califor-
mia, and that no delegates we're sent from
many districts until they had said that they
would support Mr.. Cleveland, but some
delegates were shaky.
Messrs. Bradley and Smalley Of Vermont
said that Vermont was for Mr. Cleveland
and in Maine the report was to the effect
that Mr.. Cleveland would have three
fourths of the delegation.
