Friends of the Candidates Counting
Their Respective Strength.
CHICAGO, June 18.-The opening OF con-
vention week will ind the lines of battle
closely drawn and every candidate SEEM
ingIy assured of the exact strength with
which be will enter the contest The chief
uncertainty will be as to the action of Illi-
nois, Indiana and Kentucky. Should these
States bring solid support to Cleveland on
the first ballot there Is little doubt that he
will receive the twO-thrds vote requisite
for the nomination. But should the States
cast their full strength for q favorite son the
probabilities Of Cleveland's nomination on
the opening ballot would be very remote in
deed.
Congressman Springer OF Illinois is urg-
ing, in the interest OF expediency, the Illi-
DOis delegation to vote for John NJ. Palmer
on the first ballot and continue its efforts on
behalf of the Illinois leader until his nomi-
natien is reached. Henry WattersOn is
understood to be labOrDg with the Ken
lucky delegation 10 the effort to secure a
solid vote of the State for Carlisle, and
Senator Voorhees, Of Indiana Is making a
like demand upon the H0osier State in be-
half of Gray.
1t is reported tonight that the prominent
Democratic leaders of these three States are
endeavoring TO arrange a conference IF
delegates at which 1t Will be mutually
agreed that the nomination OF Cleveland is

might otherwise receive from these States

sides and do great deal of talking but
that is about as far as it has gone. There
are too many fayorite sons in the race, and
they, as a rule amount to nothing. If you
talk 10 one, he says, with great earneStneSs,
that German is the only man who can hope to
win, that unless the son Of Maryland is put
to the front the Democrats are hopelessly
beaten. He will give his reasons for the faith
that is in him, and when be Is done you
will know about as much as you did before.
A moment later another man Will come
along who is opposed to Cleveland, and his
first words will be that BOies is the one
man of the whole lot who stands the least
show OF election. He will tell you that
German comes from the wrong part Of the
country and once led an anti-union demon
stratiOn in Baltimore and was hand and
glove with the rebels OF that city. Then
man will drift by who will whisper conf
dentially that Boies cannot hope to reach
because of the fact that he has been a Dem
Ocrat but nine years. This they say is an
objectionable sin In the eyes Of the old
timers and would mean certain defeat at
the polls.
All this goes TO show that there Is posi-
lively no unity of action among the men
who are battling the eX-President, and,
while they may succeed in defeating him
for the nomination, il must be on different
lines from the ones on which they are now
working. In other words, they must CON-
bine In order to accomplish anything sub
Stantial. and until they do that they cannot
hope to make any headway. The Cleve-
land forces are too well organized and their
lines are too firmly drawn for any specific
movement to affect them at this stage of
the game, and unless the men who are 0p-

Indiana and the Solid South Feel Their
Importance.
CHICAGO, June 16.-Ex- Governor Gray
of Indiana is in the fight, and his name will
be presented to the convention. This would
take away the 80 votes Of Indiana, which
would otherwise 90 to Cleveland. The 20 from
Iowa, given TO Boies, is another weakening
of the Cleveland line, and these two, CON-
bined with the 72 votes of New York,
which will be cast for Hill, make total Of
128 from three States. most of which, under
other circumstances, would go TO the eX-
President at the outset Then, too. the
Cleveland men are not so strong In the
South as they have endeavored to make the
public believe. They are claiming Missouri
solid, ana are quoting GTif Prather. the
National Committeeman from that State,
in support Of their assertion. The truth is
that Missouri is badly divided and there is
every reason TO believe that not more than
half OF the delegation will vote for Cleye-
land on the first ballot.
Then there is Texas, which Is in about
the same position, as are also Alabama and
Florida. In fact, a great many Of the
Southern States are all ripped up the
back" as between Cleveland and Hill. This
is supposed 10 be largely due to the influence
Of such men as Henry WattersoD, John G.
Carlisle, Roger q. Mills and others OF that
ilk, who have been unfriendly 90 Cleveland
for some time. OF course, Carlisle claims
that be and Nj. Cleveland are on the most
friendly terms, aud that ne is not opposing
the ex-Pres ident's nomination, but no one
believes it, and there are evidences OF his
opposition TO be found on every side. If
Cleveland should happen to be beaten he
probabilities are that it will be largely due
to the division among the delegates from
the Solid South. They, as in the
Republican convention, hold the balance of
power and the result VIII depend very
largely upon the stand which they take.
This they know themselves, and are work
ing it to the best advantage. They are not
going to rush blindly into the fight of CleYe-
land or any other man and take the chances
of carrying off a portion of prizes after the
election, but are going to mold themselves
alo0f for time at least for the purposes Of
making political bargains. Two or three
Cabinet officers and q few other induce
ments OF that kind would probably have
great weight in determining their action in
the convention. These promises will probs-
big have to be made in order to secure
their votes. The chances are that Cleveland
will prove himself about as good promiseT
asaDY one in ths field.

Cleveland Delegates From New York
Determined to Claim Them.

Determined to Claim Them.
CHICAGO, June 18.-The Cleveland men
are apt to make one mistake which may cost
them dearly. They are determined, so they
say. to contest the seats of tie Bill men from
New York, and if they do so 1t is likely to
cause very hard feelings. The followers Of
Hill say that if they are knocked out in the
convention they will take their medicine
with as good face as possible
under the circumstances, but If they
are turned out and their seats given
10 men who are lighting them they cannot
reasonably be expected to 60 back and
. work for the nominee. Such a thing they
assert, they would not tolerate for a minute,
and even If the Hill delegates were willing
to submit. they could not hope TO hold the
gang in line. The boys who vote in New
York would simply refuse to stand any
such action, and the result would be that
Harrison would have q walkoyer in the
State.
No later than this afternoon two stout
porters carried great big box up the stairs
to the Cleveland headquarters at the Grand
Pacific Hotel and deposited Il carefully IN
corner 1t was closely guarded by L. Ellery
Anderson, one Of the leaders Of the anti
snapDers.
That box contains protests against Hill
and the snap convention" said Mr. Auder-
son, 'and there are COO names signed to
them. 1t is the biggest protest that has
ever been presented 10 any representative
body. The men whose Eames are Ou these
rolls are the solid citizens of New York. 1t
took no great effort on our part to secure
these signatures. The voters came volun-
tarlly and wrote their names with alacTity.
Their voices will he heard in the conven-
tiOn if possible and at least before the COM
mittee on credentials. We Will show the
convention that the greatest outrage ever
perpetrated on American citizens was done
at the February meeting of the Hill
machine men. We know that he is not the
choice Of the people of New York and that
Grover Cleveland Is. Mr.. Cleveland is 20
per cent stronger in New York to-day than
he was In 1888 and he can attract the inde-
pendent vote, which controls the balance Of
power in New York State and which Hill
would not receive"
Continuing, Mr.. Anderson asserted it as
his opinion that Cleveland would have $50
votes on the first ballot and that his noml-
nation was absolutely assured.

keep the crowds in the hotel in a constant
roar. They have pictures of BOies pasted
ali over the walls wherever there is a square
toot OF space to spare, aud they are giving
away badges by the thousand. Half the
men on the street are paradilg with Iowa
badges on the lapels Of their coats and sup
plementing this show OF loyalty to the Iowa
Governor with continuous yelIs. They are
here In great numbers to cheer each other
on, and have more arguments on the tips Of
their tongues why the lightning should
strike in their direction than can be over

In the first place they claim to look to
Tammany for support IN the event
that Ii IS found that Hill cannot be nomi-
mated They are banking a great deal on
the fact that Tammany is looking around
for somebody to wallop Cleveland and
Boies they say is just the man for the job.
Then, too, they expect great deal of help
from the silver States, and point to the fact
that Tom Patterson of Denver, the editor
of the Rocky Mountain News, who leads
the delegation from Colorado, is out for
Boes.

Dark Horses Not Likely to Be IN the

Race.
CHICAGO, June I8-One hears a great
deal of talk about favorlte sons and all
that sort Of thing. but what does it all
amount 10 IN the end? The proposition
simply reduces itself TO a fight between
Cleveland and the un0rganized field, with
the former in the lead. There is Just a
chance, of course, that some dark horse
may come out Of the bunch with q rush and
be IN first as the finish but it is long shot
that II does not occur. Cleveland is too
strong for bis ambitious rivals. and the
chances are that he will win after strug-
gle. There are al sorts OF booms here, but
none of them seems thus far to cut any
great figure. German. Gray, Palmer,
Boies, Carlisle, Morrison, Flower, Pattison,
Russell and half a dozen more have already
run up their little lightning rods and are
waiting patiently for the bolt TO strike, but
no one believes that ii viii.

Il is better than even money right now that

The Hill men, to be sure, are making a
great deal OF noise and are trying by every
means within their power TO make people
believe that they are really in ii, but II is
almost certainty that Hill Is as near the
nomination now as be will be at any time
during the convention. His is q machine

They Claim to Hold the Key of the Presi-
Dental Situation.
CHICAGO, June 1S.-In spite of all the op-
position Of the silver men to Cleveland 1t is
hard to tell what they intend to do. Those
who are opposed 10 them insist that they
have no power for good or for evil in the
convention; that if they should succeed in
forcing a man upon the convention it would
simply be case of leading a lamb to the
slaughter. The assertion is plainly made
by the men of the East that no man can
hope TO win on a silver platform, and that
il the Democrats dare TO go before the coun-
try OH that issue they Will be hopelessly de-
feated. Still. the silver men are more than
con ntident tonight, and claim that they hold
the key TO the situation.
They insist that they have in the mining
and Pacific States 108 votes which they
can control, and these they will throw 10
anybody but Cleveland. First of all, they
talK about Boies. whom they pOiEt out as
man most likely TO meet their views on the
financial question, but no one really be-
lieVes that they favor the Governor. Their
scheme evidently is this; They will at
tempt at first to stop the nomination Of
Cleveland, and, il successful. will pick out
German and concentrate upon him. Cor
man. they point out has never been actively
identified with either side, and would iu-
spre the confidence of all. They might
then hope to be able to slip him in without
exciting the surprise Of the East, and, If so,
would have things pretty much their own
way.
Tonight the silver men had an informal
conference in Tom Patterson's room, at
which were present dozen representatives
from the silver States. No action OF I'M
portance was taken, Cut II was decided to
hold meeting. on Monday. at which all the
delegates Of the mountain and Paeihc
States viii be present. They may not then
be able to concentrate upon any particular
candidate for the Presidency, but they hope
70 act In concert upon other questions AT
the conference In question there were men
OF all shades OF opinion, and they will find
U hard TO agree upon any line Of action.

Special to the MORNING CALL

CHICAGO. June 1s-Whne ex-President
Grover Cleveland has apparently the best
Of the fight so far as it has gone, be is very
far from having anything like a walkoyer.
Even his most devoted followers do not
figure out more than 500 votes for him on
the first ballot and that is just 90 short Of
the number required. Fairchild admits this
and says they do not hope to win on the
first rollcall, and claims that when Cleve-
lands strength is shown there viii be a
great many wayerinG delegates who will go
over TO him in order TO be on the winning
side. There IS, of course, in every c0nven-
tion a very large body Of weak-kneed fell
lows, who are always on the lookout for the
bandwagon TO come along and who are
always among the first to get aboard. They
have no ideas of personal loyalty and their
study is to get in on the successful side.
That is the class that is being depended
upon 10 nominate Cleveland and it is more
than likely that they will succeed.
There is no doubt but that the Southern
Pacific wants Cleveland, but the question
is, will they get him? They want him be-
cause be has always stood in with the great
corporations, East and West, and while they
would prefer q Republican who would serve
them, they find themselves compelled to
make the best Of the situation and take
Cleveland instead. They are very cunning,
those railroad fellows, and showed their
hands at Minneapolis in striving to Domi-
nate Blaine. They did not want Harrison
because he could not be used. They had
tried him and had found him a man of grim
determination, who wanted to do just what
he considered right Fortunately they were
not able to control the delegation. half Of
It they succeeded in getting, and with that
they laboFed hard, but they lost. Now they
have turned to Chicago, and are here for
Cleveland. They may get him.

but they are doing ell they can to encourage
their followers to howl for Hill, and the
result Is surprising. They swarm about the
corridors OF the Auditorium Ike so many
bees and pounce upon every luckless dele
gate that chances along. They surround
him on all sides and in the most aggressive
way ply him with arguments to show that
Cleveland. il nominated, could not be
elected. They tell him that New York
would declare against the ex-PTesident with
q majority Of at least 10000. and they bring
out formidable array Of facts and figures
70 prove their assertions. IDen they turn
% Hill and hold him UP as the great eX-
FOUNDER Of modern Democracy. The great
benefit Of his rule in New York State is
painted in glowing cOlors. Then they wind
up by declaring that if nominated he would
sweep the State of New York by 10000 IL
the poor delegate is convinced, as is not
often the case, he Is taken into camp and
placed on exhibition as a'man who has seen
the errors Of his ways. If he proves obsti-
nate, however, and declines TO admit the
truth Of all he is told they pounce upon him
like so many tigers and drown him out
with their yelIs. BE is not allowed to argue
the question at all, and is howled down as
only a Tammany man can howl.
There is a grave suspicion that there Is
not much sincerity after all in this cOntiuu-
Gus Tammany yell for Hill. The shrewdest
Of the politicians are Of the belief that
Croker and MS followers are mere mer-
cenarles ia the camp OF the Senator, and,
like ell hired soldiers are willing to break
away when the time comes to any one who
will reward them. They will undoubtedly
vote for Hill on the first ballot, ana if there
Is 3 second rOlcall might still remain with
him; but there is no doubling the fact that
they are already looking around for soft
place to light whenever the Hill boom col
iaDses. Il is said that if il is demonstrated
early In the fight that Hill has no
chance to succeed, the Tammany gang viii
throw their strength to Flower and en-
deavor to push him in as a compromise.
There is a scheme Of that kind already on
foot, and Grover is believed TO have hand
IN 1t. They are not going to remain with
Hill, If by doing so they would risk allow
ing the nomination oil Cleveland. Their cry
is, and has been from the start, Anything
to beat Cleveland" and in this, at least,
they are absolutely in earnest. Whether
they can succeed by combining with the
forces of any one OF the number Of the IA
Vorite sons who are in the field, aud by this
means hold the requisite oHe-third aloof
from Cleveland for a number OF ballots, Is
Just where the shoe pinches.
