years ago the people We're afraid of it.
They will vote differently now with the
knowledge gained with the growing
years. The country would have no
fears of Mr.. Cleveland on the silver
question"
Outshine the Hill Men. ~
The Cleveland headquarters at the
Grand Pacific have been transferred
from the room OF ex-S5ecretary Fairchild
to u suite of spacious parlors upon the
ladies' foor OF the same hotel. They
are the finest headquarters'in the city,
and put those Of the Hill men in the
Auditorium to the blush. Great care
ami taste have been exercised in the
matter Of decoration. Over the door,
way Of the main parlor is an area Of
lncanaescent lights forming the word
"Cleveland." Over the fireplace of the
next parloT is a massive mirror with
hfe-size portrait of the ex-president in
the center, surrounded with an artistic
scroll, and below the now historic
declaration, "A public Office is public
trust" A profusion of bunting and
flowers and plants givsthe headquarters
gala appearance.
A large quantity of Cleveland itera-
ture has arrived from the East and will
be sent to the non-committal delegates
from the Southern states, and as fast as
they arrive hey win be piloted to the
Grand Paci!.c, where they will be taken
in hand by the Cleveland contingent
Specializing About Illinois.
A good deal of interest is manifested
regarding tie probable course of the
delegation from Illinois. The Cleve-
land managers claim they will have it
solid on the first ballot, but this claim is
strongly DISPUTED at the Illinois rendez-
vous in the Sherman house. No regular
caucus has yet been held, but an in
formal cali of the delegation has de-
veloped the fact that only IA are out
spoken for Cleveland, while II are IA
vorable to the candidacy Of w. r. Nor
rison and q are for Palmer or on the
fence. Ger cral Palmer, however, is I'M
alterably opposed to the use of his name
SO long as Mr.. Cleveland is a candidate,
and it is given out that an intimation to
can not be misunderstood will be pre-
sented when the caucus meets. Tho

weaklinG that will scarcely survive

Cleveland a.,ainst the field The bitter
ness of the opposition to President Har-
rison's denomination, which was its dis
tinguishing characteristic, was missing
here and is lot likely to appear unless ii

gates. Most of these are in the field
now, and they are not all backward
either in expressing their opinions,
which are nuU favorable to the ex-presi-

Harrison II that his state does not sup.

delegates Who will nominate him,
what state will stand sponsor for his
candidacy, are questions that have not
yet been answered. But that fact ap.
parently does not disturb his support

There is no t;oubt in anybody's mind

parts Of th4 Union. The presentation
