Some of them think that the delegation should
vote as unit for Cleveland on the first ballot
and then turn over TO GRAY if 1t develops that
Cleveland cannot secure by any possibility the
necessary two-thirds. Thirteen Of the dele

hackers Of ex-President Cleveland was held
there last night. Every effort was made 10
keep the purpose and decision secret. but il has
leaked out through a reliable source that il has
been determined to push Gov. GRAY neither FOR
! the first nor second place. In consideration of
such agreement it is agreed that Gov GRAY
shall have a cabinet position in the event of the
success of Cleveland. 1t is said that Gov GRAY

Treasury Fairchild caused it to be disclosed in

people have met in Ohio and Arkansas show
that the plan might be lacking in some features.
but the supporters OF the ex-President are sure
that everything will go through about as they
have mapped it out FROM now on none Of

delegates absolutely against cleveland with the
idea that by solid column of this sort in
creases may be made which will divide the
strength pretty evenly.
10 Offset this their efforts are directed TO
showing up 500 votes which can be held to-
gether on all the ballots. They argue that ali
they have TO do Is to wait and tie nomination
will come their way. They have more dele
gates by $50 than Hill. and they don't think the
opposition could do better If il tried TO COM
bine on somebody else. SO they saw there is no
reason why the convention should not make the
nomination by Thursday. though they are will
ing to allow another days work. The north
west Is the rock on which they rest. They be-
heve that Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
can never be shaken from Cleveland and thew
are not without reason in this belief.

WORRIED BY THE BoIEs BOOM.
The buoyancy OF the Boies boom in Iowa is
worrying eastern leaders trife. They think
they may need the hawkeye state at an early
stage of the ballot for the moral efsact II will
have. but they don't know how 10 GO abont
getting it. Any promise of a vice presidency
to Gov. Boes will be dangerous because in viii
