CHICAGO, June 20.-To-night the stu
alton may be summed up in few
words. The Cleveland boom would not
down despite the desperate efforts of
the combined opposition, and unless
something unforeseen occurs the ex-
President will be nominated on the first
ballot. This impression peryades the
atmosphere to such an extent that no
other name than that Of Cleveland is
heard. The Iowans, who are here 5000
strong, are doing some parading and
making the best OF a hopeless case.
They concede CleveIand's nomination,
and now contine their talk to predic-
tons that their man will get there in
1896. They will not listen, to d sugges'
ton Of Boies for secbnd place, and say
thas il Cleveland is to be the nominee,
Indiana can have the vice presidency SO
far as they are concerned.
CLEVELAND ON TIE FIRST BALLOT.
At the national committee rooms at
the Palmer house the word is given out
tonight that Cleveland will have the
n cessary two-thirds on the first ballot.
The Tammany delegation is astonish-
ingly quiet. They have accepted the
inevitable and have nothing to say.
Their silence is ominous. They shake
their heads and smile when asked ii
Cleveland can carry. New York. The
Cleveland boomers are making din
and the streets and hotel lobbies are a
howling mass of people. Delegations
are parading the streets with bands of
music shouting for Cleveland and there
are no counter cheers heard on any
side.
MAY BE MADE BY AcCLAMATIoN.
Everybody seems to have settled
down to the conviction that tthe nomina-
ton Of Cleveland will virtually be made
by acclamation. The New Workers are
not conceding this but are manifesting
little or no interest. 1t is. said that
they have orders from the leaders to
"say nothing and saw wood, and there
may be unlocked for developments in
the convention tomorrow.
The Cleveland forces are splendidly
organized, while the opposition is at
sea. There seems to be no head to it.
II may concentrate tomorrow, but it is
doubtful.
WILL RE CLEVELAND AND GRAY.
Ex.Internal Revenue Commissioner
Joseph S. Miller, of West Virginia, is
one OF the Cleveland managers. He
told me tonight that Cleveland will be
nominated on the first ballot and that
Gray will have second place. 1t is
about certain that West Virginia will
give Cleveland eleven votes. Colonel
St. Clair will cast his vote for either
Hill or German. He says under no
circumstances will he vote for Cleye-
land. Some OF tho delegates say he
may reconsider and fall in line.
WILSON PERMANENT CHAIRMAN.
William L. Wilson will probably be
permanent chairman OF the convention.
Itia said that the Cleveland men have
decided on him for thoposition. There
is bitter disappointment at the West
Virginia headquarters. Only sixty tick
cts 10 the convention have been allotted
to the delegation and there are over 100
brave mountaineers here. How to make
sixty tickets 90 round is the question of
the hour. When Chairman Camden
announced the result OF his effort to get
better treatment wall went up and
the boys said they could not under
stand why they should be cut of in
such way when a thousand tickets
had been distributed among tho crowds
from New York. 1t was unfair they
thought, but kicking did no good.
