six, three will go to Hill, two to German
and one to Cleveland. On the second bal
lot Boies will get five of the remaining
votes, and perhaps all six should he stand
good chance.
= The Cleveland men are straining every
nerve to add to their strength on the first
ballot and wherever it is possible to con-
solidate State delegations and have them
present a solid font they are doing
it. The greatest work is being done in
delegations where the Cleveland senti-
ment predominates.
In the main, however, the events of the
day have been such as to add hope to the
Cleveland movement. Illinois decided
to cast forty-eight votes for him. In
diana, too, retires Ex-Governor Gray and
will cast its thirty votes for the great pop

ers declare Indiana's change of front
means Gray TO come in as Presidential
candidate and basque in favor of the
Cleveland hosts.
Another knight errant, who has
proudly worn the garments of great
political possibility, removes his regalia
tonight and assumes a modest place
among the trusted Cleveland lieutenants.
For the first time since the opening OF the
fray Senator German avows his belief in
the nomination of eX-President Cleve-
land, and while he speaks portentously
OF the dangers of such result,
he wavers from his ambition that has
haunted his movements for the past three
days, and declares no friends of his must

Il do not think Cleveland's nomination
advisable" said German this evening,
"but as matters stand it seems newt
able"
But there are two men who stand un-
daunted, side by side, with Grover Cleve-
land in the race for the Presidential hon
ors, and lew challenge the sincerity Of
their position. Senator David b. Hill of
New York, with seventy-twO votes Of the
Empire State behind him, and Governor
Horace Boies of Iowa, with twenty-six
devoted supporters, are still indomitable
factors in the Presidential contest.
Since Gray is out of running for first
place on the Democratic ticket, it seems
to be conceded that he viii become the
strongest candidate for Nice-President
There is talk Of deal between Whitney
and Voorhees,, which settled the problem,

tically admit that it was failure, and it
is now admitted by them that Cleve-
lands nomination on the first ballot is a
strong probability. Even the Hill Deo-

been outspoken in opposition to Cleye-
land, said: The contest for the Presi-
