stsad Of the delegation Of which Mr.. Sherman was
member Mr. Sherman, therefore, came to chi
caeo few days ago in no amable frame OF
mind toward David b. Hill, and he has been
actively at work addressing delegates in opposl-
ton to his nomination. When, therefore, Gov
ernor Flower eulogized Hill and assaied Cleve-
land the indignation felt by Sherman was SO
great that he could hardly restrain himself while
Mr.. Flower was speaking.
When Mr. Flower had ended his speech and
was about to leave the room MI Sherman ex-
plosively said:

EFFECT on THE GOVERNOR.
Mfr Flower listened to tbs speech to its conclu-
don but did not applaud Sherman. On the con-
trary he looked as if he was suffering more than
ordinarily from the heat Of the day In fact, a
more uncomfortable-o man was not seen
N Chicago this morning, and when Sherman had
concluded his speech Mr.. Flower abruptly left the
room of the Mississippi delegation and made no
further speeches for Mr. Hill before the dele
gates Of other States.
Mr. Flower suffered other woes in the course
of the day. He learned that the union printers
of Chicago had sent committees 70 the various
delegations OF other States fercely opposing his
nomination for President the ground that
his veto of the State Printing Bureau bill last
winter showed his hostility TO the workingmcn
Of America Mr. Flowers anguish over this attack
n upon him discloses 10 the eyes Of some politicians
that he has secret thought that he may pos
nlsibly he the nominee of the convention when
20 David B. Hill finally makes up his mind that
he cannot be nominated. Some Democrats cX-
-, pressed the opinion that Hill himself secretly
~ inspired the attack Of the printers upon Mr.
Flower; and they recalled the interesting circum
stance that Speaker Bush, of EImira. one of
. David b. Hills lieutcnants, pushed the State
Printing Bureau bill through the Legislature and
into Governor Flowers hands. Was this trap
set for Mr. Flower by Mr. Hill?
MEETINGS OF THE "REGULARs"
The New-York regular" delegation held two
of its secret meetings at the Auditorium Hotel
to-day. in the morning and in the afternoon At
10th of these meetings reports we're received from
the committees sent out to persuade the delegates
of other States to accept David b Hill as their
candidate for President. good many OF the
reports were favorable, but some were unfdvor-
able. the delegates frankly declaring that they
had found the Cleveland delegation stone wall
through which they could not break This was
the first breath OF truth that had entered the
headquarters room since the delegation arrived
here, and as a consequence the members of the
dc egation were greatly depressed in spirits. The
lesser members frankly acknowledged that they
thought Cleveland would be nominated, and as
frankly said that they would not vote for HIN.
Among the hundreds of Hill followers about the
Auditorium Hotel the bad news had the effect
of exciting angry denunciation Of Cleveland and
