them to the opposition has met with poor
success and the strongest OF the anti-Cleve-
land southern leaders now practically admit
its failure and It is now admitted by theEA
that MIR. Clevsland's denomination on tbs
first ballot is strong probability. Even
the Hill people, in part at least, are now
ready to admit their defeat and IN their doing
30 they gave all the credit TO the generals
ship OF ex-Secretary Whitney. They COM
plain at the same time that there was no
leader of the anti-Clsveland forces and in
fact no organization outside Of New York.
There had been attempts to concentrate on
Senator German, and conferences had been
held with that purpose in view as late az
this morning, but without result.
WALSH GIVES UP.
Tonight when asked for his opinion OF
the outcome of the convention, Hon. Patrick
Walsh of Augusta Ga, who has been outs
spoken in his opposition to Mr.. Cleveland
and represents the Randall tariff
idea IN the Democratic party, saidy
''The contest for the presidential
nomination is virtually ended tonight.
There is no longer any doubt as to the nom=
ination Of Mr.. Cleveland on the frat ballot
1t Is very probable that there will be no
formal presentation Of any other candidate.
II is believed that Gov. Gray Of Indiana wilI
be nominated for second place on the
ticket"
The anti-Cleveland sentiment ia still very
| strong in three southern states. but outside
OF these three states Mr.. Cleveland seems to
| be more than holding his own, and in
Georgia 1t is not improbable that three
doubtful votes may 90 TO Mr.. Cleveland on
the first ballot and land 10 cracker
| votes into his column against the opposition
or three or four less than has been expected.
Senator German is not authorizing any
one to use his name as a candidate and to-
i tba MarvtapI dalagaffOr, mill
to consider how it will vots. 1t is said that
| Senator German will not consent to his
| name being presented to the convention,
| though no public declaration haa
yet been made, and in this
event Mr.. Cleveland will get the greater
part of Maryland's vote. The three strong
anti-C Cleveland states arc South Carolina,
North Carolina and Mississippi, in all OF
| which the alliance sentiment il strong
aud the opposition to free coinage is
regarded as heterodoxy. South Caro-
lima will go almost solidly for
anybody to beat Cleveland" and In North
| Carolina six votes about represent tho
number OF steadfast Cleveland men. Mis-
sisslp9i hardly knows where IL stands and
the delegates are In no hurry to have a poll
| taken. A majority Of the delegation are
anti-Cleveland and il a good chance is
offered for the success Of one Of the opposi.
| tion the Cleveland following would be
|
the drift. Virginia is nearly evenly divided.
| Ia Alabama Mr.. Cleveland will have more
than half the delegation and possibly two
thirds Of it. and in other states the oonvfc-
tion seems to be that all opposition to Mr..
Cleveland is now futile.
It is understood that an attempt Is being
made Tonight to rec lncils the troubles
within the Democratic party in New
| York in the interest of harmony
ami success in the national elec-
tlon. and an amicable arrangement is
being sought. The election of Mr. Cleveland
is conceded. and 1t is said that members on
both sides of the fight in New York have
urged Senator Hill TO withdraw" his name
and permit the vote of New York TO be
given TO Mr.. Cleveland and his nomination
made practically by acclamation.
The Illinois delegation met tonight and,
after hard fight adopted the unit rula
and agreed to vote for Mr.. Cleveland
To clinch matters, A. w. Green OF Chi
cngo was selected to second the nomination
of Mr.. Cleveland on behalf o; Illinois.
Senator Gibson of Maryland, on behalf of
! Senator German, gave it out tonight that
| Senator Gorman's name will not be pres
sented TO the convention by the Maryland
delegation.
