The Cleveland Opposition Trying 10
Center on the Iowan.
The opposition TO Cleveland's nomina-
ton, finding that the ''feeler" put out in
behalf of Mr.. German as a candidate
around whom to rally strength enough to
beat the leader and prevent mis- securing
two-thirds on the first ballot did not meet
with reception sufficient to warrant the
belief in the success of a movement in this
direction, this morning turned toward the
idea of the Iowa democrats, and Horace
Boies the name most talked
Of The effect has been to give increased
prominence to the Boies boom and aid and
comfort to the managers OF the interests
of the governor OF the Hawkeye state.
The BoIes men have been working
earnestly and persistently at all times in
behalf of their candidate, and have un-
falteringly declared their intention TO
stand by their candidate for first place.
There has been more enthusiasm attach
ing 10 the cause than to any o. the other
leaders except Cleveland. They have Sc
cured scattering support of Mr.. Boies from
various sections where there was opposi-
sition to Cleveland In the
Rocky Mountain region thew have hereto
lore met with the best results, the South
being more disposed toward candidates
with whom it was better acquainted, but
| this morning they were cheered with the
intelligence that the South Carolinians,
fearful of Mr.. Clevelands strength, were
| willing to give seventeen votes TO the
| Boies men. 1t was also reported that Mr..
| Brice and Mr.. Watterson were friendly in
clined toward the BoIes movement and
were willing to lend it what assistance
they could. The Virginia delegation, the
| Boies men claim. were now in some doubt.
| The Cleveland Hill fight has been very
warm in Virginia and each side has claimed
a majority OF the delegates from the old
dominion. The Boies men say that some
OF these votes may come to them, but do
not go beyond this statement, scknowl-
edging that no decision has yet been
reached. A member OF the delegation
from Iowa is authority for the statement
that Chairman Shields has received an
intimation that Mr.. Brice and Mr.. Wat
| terson would throw votes toward Mr..
| Boies, and had conveyed to him (Shieldsl
the opinion that by combination on
/ Boies in the West and South, with
| Hill controlling the New York vote
and some other votes, Cleveland s
nomination would be prevented on
the early ballots, after which some
lukewarm but instructed Cleve-
land men could be expected to break
away The California delegation is bound
to Cleveland by instructions of a qualified
nature and the fact that the delegates
| could not have come here If they had not
been for Cleveland. Some of them would
like to 90 for Mr. Boies, who. as a western
man and friendly to silver. is regarded
with interest Delegate Foote of Oakland
was one of those men, and expressed doubt
about Mr.. Cleveland's availability. The
silver issue, he said had weakened Cleve-
land. Mr.. Boies, Mr.. Foote said, would
get his vote but for the fact that he was
instructed TO vote for Cleveland.
Senator Carlisle does not take kindly 10
the Boies movement and opposition to it
is likely to develop this evening when the
Kentucky delegation meets.
