CHICAGO, June 16.-The political sit
uation is livening up and like the
weather is getting hotter A few more
political leaders are in town, and with
tonight each train is expected to have
its contingent of delegates. Around the
National Committee headquarters there
were more signs of activity and num-
Der of callers came in to see Secretary
Sheerin. Henry Watterson, who got
into town this morning was one OF these
and another was National Committee
man Prather, of Missouri. Mr.. Prather
was questioned about the political stu
alton, but he said he was of the same
belief as Mr.. Sheerin on the functions
OF the National Committee and would
not mingle in the fight. Missouri, he
acknowledged, was a strong Cleveland
State and he thought Cleveland would
get nearly all the votes of the State.
Hon. Samual E. Morse, delegate at
large and Win English, delegate from
Indiana, were also callers on MIR.
Sheerin. Mr.. English considered there
were about four doubtful delegates, and
he expected Mr.. Cleveland to get some
of these doubtful votes. The Indiana
delegation will hold meeting Satur-
day, at which will come up the question
whether or not Grays name shall be
presented.
The Cleveland men want to put
GRAY in the race. and also every other
man who can be pursuaded to enter. III
the plans Of those opposed to Mr.. Cleve-
lands nomination succeed, the woods
will be full of candidates. 1t is hoped
TO divide the strength Of the leader,
which all concede Cleveland to be, and
by getting into the race number OF Ia
vorite sons, to prevent Cleveland's nom
ination on the first ballot, the balloting
be prolonged and it is believed that the
dark horses all stand good show OF de-
veloping strength.
The Illinois folks will have to deter
mine whether or not Palmer's name
shall be presented. A we'll informed
Iowa politician said that II Illinois had
a candidate Indiana would almost GER
tainly follow suit, but if Illinois did not
show the lead, tho matter was uncer-
tain. Boies' name will, of course, be
presented and together with Cleveland,
Hill and possibly Carlisle, sextette
would be entered in the race. Germans
name has been mentioned.
The Cleveland men do not intend that
there shall be any place In town where
some OF his followers may not be found,
and they will have headquarters in at
least three and perhaps more OF the ho-
tells. Wherever there is prospect OF a
large number of delegates stopping,
there the Cleveland men will have a
place to advocate their leaders selec-
tion. Last night large parlor was en-
gagged at the Palmer House, and to-
morrow morning headquarters will be
opened there.
The Cleveland men did not have any
Headquarters at the Palmer at first, but
il was found that majority OF the
State delegations would have their head
quarters at this place, and the Cleve-
land men succeeded in establishing
themselves in the same hotel. The ''an-
ii snappers," as the May convention
people call themselves will generally
stop at the Grand Pacific. Ex-Secre-
tary Whitney and others, who are Mr..
Cleveland'S personal representatives.,
will make the Richelieu their stopping
place.
Lieutenant Governor w, f. Sheehan,
Richard Croker and Richard Murphy OF
New York registered at the Auditorium
this morning, and opened up headQuart-
ers for Hill. They were not talking
much but said they were in the fight
until Hill was either nominated or de-
feated.
Hon. Henry Wstterson, the head OF
the Kentucky delegation to the National
Convention, arrived in the city this
morning. Mrs. Watterson in an inter-
view with city press reporter expressed
himself as pleased with the outcome OF
the Arkansas and Ohio conventions yes
terday. In Ohio ne said the result in
dieated Campbell and Mclean had har-
monized their differences, situation
which would greatly strengthen Camp
bell as a presidential possibility.
