whose delegation is not claimed In
whole or in part by either Cleveland or
some of the minor candidates. The
diplomatic suggestion that Boies would
be a good Yice-Presidcntial candidate

does not even find courteous reception
in the Iowa headquarters.
Indiana again presents the spectacle
of ~dissension, discord and factional
%quarrels.
Governor Gray's friends who number
about seventeen of the thirty votes of
the Indiana delegation, are insisting
that the solid vote of the State should
be cast for the popular ex-governor.
But there are thirteen aggressive Cleve-
land men in the Indiana delegation who
insist upon expressing their personal
privileges of voting for the great popu-
lar leader. Three or four conferences
have been held but they have been
fruitless to secure any compromise, and
the situation this morning gives indica-
tons that the Hoosier delegation may
60 to pieces on the opening ballot and
cast seventeen votes for Gray and thir-
teen for Grover Cleveland.
A victory was won for the Cleveland
forces to-day when the Pennsylvania
delegation adopted a resolution ''that
the chairman of the Pennsylvania dele
CATION be instructed to cast the whole
vote of the delegation of Pennsylvania
for Grover Cleveland as the nominee
for President of the United States until
nominated or otherwise instructed"
The anti-unit rule men tried to have
Gov. Pattison's name substituted for
that of Cleveland, but failed. The vote
by which Grover Cleveland was thus
guaranteed the votes of Pennsylvania
stood SIS to 4, the minority consisting of
Wallace and Lenihan and the 2Sth dis
trict delegates, Smoulter and Collins.
Mr.. Harrity was reelected amember of
the national committee from Pennsyl-
vania.
CHICAGO, June 20.-The most i'm
portant development in the situation
to-day is the report that, notwithstand-
ing his emphatic declaration to the
contrary German will consent to be
a candidate. 1t was also rumored that
if there were any disposition to COM
bine on German, Gray, Of Indiana,
might be persuaded to withdraw, so
that Senator Voorhees, could put the
Maryland statesman in nomination.
the Cleveland managers worked till
an early hour this morning in order to
ecure the most complete reports from
tho various delegations and the claim
Is now made that, granting to Senator
Hill, Senator German, Gov. Boics and
all others the votes that may be
pledged them or arc considered doubt
full, DIR. Cleveland has $50 delegates
who will stick until the cx-President
is nominated.

cgation says: "Tho people Of Arkansas
sas are for Cleveland, but the delcga-
ton is for the MAJ who can carry the
country. think hat Palmer will get

General st. Clair, delegate-at- large
from West Virginia says: "Gorman's
will be presented. The nomi-
speech will be made probably
by Congressman Barnes Compton, and

speeches. Alabama will vote for him
on the first ballot and the German
strength from other quarters will aston
ish people,"
A report t~elegraphed from the north
west, that the Minneapolis delegation
was wavering in its allegiance to Cleve-
land seems unfounded.

delegate-at-large from Minnesota, says
