The Delegation Creates the Biggest
sensation of the Day.
CHICAGO, June 19-The greatest sensa-
tion OF the day outside of the political de-
velopments was the arrival Of tho Tam4
| many braves from New York. Nine hun
| dred Of them marched into the Leland
| hotel this afternoon in all their war-paiut
| A stuffed tiger had been placed over the
desk OF the hotel clerk looking fierce and
| life-like. and the braves d fled their hats
TO the animal above as each fled
| by. TammanY reigned sup eme. A
larger part OF the braves were fne-looking
| men and were greatly admired by the vasn
crowds who had gathered around the MIch-
| igan Central depot and hotels to witness
their arrival. All wore badges marked
"Tammany Hall, and a majority of them
wore miniature pictures OF Senator Hill
upon their coats. 10 took two hours and
several big drays to unload from the train
which bore the braves the o1mmissary de-
partment, which rIvaled the California del-
egatlon In the number OF barrels of beer
cases OF champagne, l0-year-old Kentucky
and wines of various kinds.
LOOKING UP THE HILL BOOM
The Tammany men did not remain in
their quarters long. They were anxious for
information on tho situation. The reports
that they had received while on the way
regarding the Hill hoom we're rather dis
oouraging and most of them at once hurried
to the headquarters at the Auditorium
hotel. There they were assured that the
Hill boom was very much alive and that
the reports which had gone ouJ to the con-
trary were mugwump lies
Few Of the big Tammany contingent had
anything i'll TO say OF Mr.. Cleveland. They
all talked Hill and said they were confidenb
that he would be nominated, but there did
not seem to be a great amount OF enthusiasm
or earnestness in their avowals.
WILL SUPPORT THE NOMINEE.
Bridge Commissioner Schw hwab, who is one
OF the leaders in the councils Of Tammany,
said: "fanmany will support the nominee,
De he Cleveland or any other man. Our
candidate 10 n. b. Hill first. last aud ell the
time. We think he will be nominated. He
Is gaining strength every hour. He never
and delegates who are not tied
down hand and foot to Grover
Cleveland are beginning TO sec that under
the supert leadership OF David B. Hill New
YORK would be as sure to go dem icratlo as
Texas. Senator Hill is particularly strong
In the silver states. and you will be sur
prised at the vote in those states"
T,MMANY NEVER BOLTS.
"Then Ir. Cleveland if nominated will
not be knifedp
"Iammany will support the nominee. 10
never bolts the ticket. / cannot OF course
speak for individuals. but you can put it
down as certain that Tammany as an orr
gapization will be loyal to whoever the con-
Vention nominateU. Senator Hill however,
can command many thousand more votes In
New York than Mr.. Cleveland. His pIu-
rality would be greater than that which the
state gave him in 1888 for governor"
Justice Ryan said: "There is bitter op-
position in New York to Mr. Cleveland.
He lost the state in 1888 and Is less popular
now than when he had the whole federal
patronage to aid him, | believe he would
be defeated. That seems TO be the general
sentiment among the Tammany men,
NO SECOND CHOICE.
who Is talked OF as second choiceT'
81 am not informed as to the preferences
Of the delegates, but think | am safe in say
ing that Mr.. Cleveland is not second choice.
He might be our thirty-titth or thirty-sixth
choice but doubt it,"
Mr.. Croker was in conference with many
OF the Tammany leaders, who arrived to-day,
and they were ordered to report In the morn
ing for duty. Mr.. Croker has planned
a combined assault on the delegates from
the silver states and most of the braves will
be assigned to missionary work among
them. Senator HilIs letter, contained ia the
Associated Press dispatch published this
morning. advocating free bimetahc coin~
age, will be placed in the hands of dele
gates from the west and south, who will be
given assurances that IL nominated and
elected Senator Hill will not veto a silver
bill
