At tho same time expressed plainly thor dis

To-day, when an attempt was made to apply
the Cleveland muzzlo. tho regulars kicked,
and had 1t not been for Gen. Col!inss diplo-
macy the Muswumps would have been over
thrown. As 1t was. although the machine
delegates were elected. they will 60 to Chicago
uninstructed and two Of them nre known to
be lukcwarm toward Cleveland Their rrefor-
ences are for some other candidate.
It had been the intention to give Cleveland
such n fat cd endorsement that It would
DO a virtual instruction to the delegation to
support him first. last. and all the time. The
Hill, or anti Cleveland faction. was ignored
until the day before tho Convention The
Cleveland men " ,re in full control. and they
took good caro- that every avenue OF nttack
should be fully guarded. Their ticket was
made up some time ago and oil the Cleveland
influence was brought to bear to elect 1t.
These were tho names: Gen. Patrick A. Col
Inns. Boston: Gen. John W. Corcoran. Clinton:
the Hon. John Z Russell. Leicester: Albert c.
HouGhton. North Adams.
John ". Cummings OF Fall River was tho
chief representative put forward by the
Hill faction. and in the Convention to-day he
received nearly six hundred votes. or nearly u
third Of the delegates present. This was big
surprise to the Cleveland leaders. and it
opened the eyes OF the rank and fle. who had
been led to believe that Cleveland was the only
man on earth. The black eye which Cleveland
Ism received In Rhode Island contributed
largely to the revolt against him in to-days
Convention. for 1t was felt to be unwise to en-
dorse . candidate who had already been beaten
in what was virtually his first fight.
The Committee on Resolutions were In ses.
sion nearly all night tinkering ths resolutions.
which had been carefully prepared to conform
to the excited demand for conservative
plank on Clevelandism. The promise was
given that the resolutions would not endorse
Cleveland's candidacy for reelection. and the
anti Cleveland men retired satisfied. The
Convention was duly called to order In Tre-
mont Temple shortly before noon. and the
Hon. Edward Avery presided.
