IHE TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION.
The Temporary organization OF Democratic

upon the credentials OF cOntestins delegations,
that being lett u the whole convention through

IS wide open for spe e;ulatlOh
THE PROBABILITIES
ore that the entire opposition 10 Cleveland will
bs combined and directed by the Hill men, who
when convinced that there IS no possible chance
tor their man will centre upon dark horse.
The dark horse contingents are apt 10
unite in one strong legion, believing
tnat II the tide sets against Clege-
land II win also make liills chances hopeless.
and thar the lightning IS then apt TO strike one
of their number. Thero are strong indications
that the Cleveland opposition Will assist Dan.
Voorhees,, OF Indiana IN making trouble Tor Cow
ernor Gray, the latter in his probable capacity
OF vice. presidential candidate with Cleveland
being great pillar OF strength ia the Cleveland
column.
THE HILL DELEGATION.
Tho position which Hills delegation Is to oc-
cnnv In the national convention Is still one Of
extreme uncertainty and OF engrossing interest
10 the politicians. Tho state convention in-
structed the delegates In case It should be
deemed expedient To come West Tor a candidate
10 use all honorable means To secure the nom-
nation OF Senator John n. Palmer: but since
that time IL has come 10 public knowledge that
the friends OF Colonel William X Morrison, by
skilful management, have succeeded IN securing
control of the delegation, and the question now
il whether Cleveland, Palmer, or Morrison is 10
of IIllnOls delegation.
REPORTED CONTESTS.
Tin 10 this afternoon the secretary Of the Ma
tionaI COMMITTEES, Mr.. sheern, had learned Of
oniy four reported contests, and the in
formation In these cases came Indirectly,
there being no requirement that delegations
should file papers with the National Commit
tee whenever contests are 10 arise, the commit
tee officially knowing nothing Of them. The
principal contest-aside from The hight In New
York between tho February and May convention
there Is hot fight between rival or
eanlzations arising out Of the lottery
euestlon. One district In Pennsylvania Is
also the subject OF contest, and from the District
~ CoIumpia Norris aud Davis come here as tho
Regulars and opposed 10 them are William
Dicason, member OF tho National Committee,
and one associate. The former arc Cleveland
and the latter anti-Cleyeland men.
CHICAGO WILL BE CROWDED.
While very few persons have yet arrived the
indications are that chicago WIZ nave as large a
crowd as Il can readily accommodate IN its
downtown hoteis. All the leading houses nave
their quarters fully engaged. Tho visiting clubs
viii be great feature OF the Chicago conven-
ton.
Tammany has engaged extensive quarters and
can Do looked 70 confidently 70 show up in
strength. Eight hundred men, t Is said, will
