CHICAG0'S BOOM BEGINS.
TIE CLEVELAND AND BOIEs HEAD
QUARTERS OPENED,

Of New York-The National Com
mittee's Work.
CHICAGO, June 16.-HeadquaSters for
two of the candidates for the democratic
presidential omination-Cleveland and
Boles-were opened in Chicago to-day.
The Cleveland headquarters are in parlor
No. 1873 Of the Grand Pacific and were at
once the scene OF marked activity. Gen.
John T. Tracey of New York, with
his coat off and sleeves rolled
up, was handling dispatches re-
ceived from the New York anti-snappers.
The anti-snappers will not be here 80 soon
as expected. Dispatches received by Gen.
Tracey this morning informed him that ex-
Secretary of the Treasury Fairohild would
not reach Chicago until late Thursday night
Friday morning E. B. Whitney, E. EIlery
Anderson, Robert Grier Monroe, ex-Mayor
William R. Grace and j. P. Archibald will
testing delegation from New York. Mr..
Archibald is q wsll-known labor leader and
will. it is said, bring some strong indorse-
ments Of ex.President Cleveland from labor
men in New York. The regular delegation
will not arrive until Saturday.
CLAIMS OF THE BoIEs BOOMERS.
At the Boies headquarters In the Palmer
house conspicuous figure was T. NJ. Mar
tin, delegate at large from Iowa. I'VE
expect Gov. Boies will have Is or 100 votes
on the first ballot, said Mr.. Martin. This
is not guess work, because we have been
corresponding with some Of the delegates
and have had very friendly letters from
many Of them. There will be a great many
ballots cast and Gov. Boies will gain votes
rapidly after the test vote is taken"
The Hill men seem to be on a still hunt.
Only one Hillte has 80 far put in an ap-
pearance, and he is Charles F. Peck of New
York. But he has enough enthusiasm for
half dozen men and is loudly proclaim
INK the virtues Of David B. and his great
abtlty as vote getter.
THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
The national committee will be the first
organized body to get to work, and, through
its subcommittees arrangements, it is
already preparing for the accommodation
and seating at the convention Of the dele
gates. None of the national committeeman
except Secretary Sheerin and Treasurer
Canda of New York are here, and on them
and Hon. Richard Bright, sergeant
alarms, who has acted in similar capacity
several times, devolves the work
OF making everything ready for work. The
members OF the national committee will
begin arriving Tomorrow and on Friday
there will be full meeting of the committee
on arrangements. The temporary orgariza-
tion Of the democratic convention is very
informal ia its nature, and the national
committee does not undertake to
pass upon the credentials of
contesting delegations, that being left to
the whole convention, through its commit
tee on credentials The national committee
has appointed a subcommittee, of which
John G. Haskell OF Columbia, s. c.. Is
chairman, to select a temporary chairman,
temporary secretary and other subordinate
officers for the convention This re-
port will be presented to the
full committee, which meets Mon
day afternoon, for approval, aud
with the adoption or rejection of the sug-
gestion of the national committee to the
convention Of officers for preliminary Or
ganization, will end practically the political
work of the committee. Thus far the only
name mentioned around headquarters for
temporary chairman is that of A. E.
Stevenson of Illinois and ex-Gov. Campbell
Of Ohio, but Henry Waterson of Kentucky
has been spoken OF for the honor In the
press and elsewhere.
Until the arrival Of the delegates and the
national committeeman the field Is wide
open for speculation.
TO COMBINE AGAINST CLEVELAND.
The probabilities are that the entire op-
position to ex-Presdent Cleveland will be
combined and directed by the Hill men,
who. when convinced that there is no possi-
bic chance for their man. will center upon
a dark horse. Dark horse contingents are
apt to unite in one strong legion, believing
that if the tide sets against Mr.. Cleveland
will Aln L. IIu Nknw
hopeless and that lightning is then apt to
strike one of their number. There are
strong indications that the Cleveland op-
position will assist Dan voorhees, of Indiana
Ia making trouble for Gov. Gray, the lat
Ter In his probable capacity OF the vice
presidential candidate with Cleveland. being
a great pillar Of strength In the Cleveland
column.
DOUBT AS TO ILLINOIS.
The position which the Illinois delegation
Is TO occupy In the national convention is
still one OF extreme uncertainty aud OF en-
crossing interest to politicians. The state
convention instructed the delegates In case
should be deemed expedient to come west
Tor candidate to use all honorable means
70 secure the nomination of Senator
Ionn III. Palmer; but since that time 1t has
come TO the public knowledge that the
friends Of Col. William r. Morrison, by
control of the delegation, and the question
now is whether Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.. Palmer
or Mr.. Morrison is TO have the support OF
sne illinois delegation.
The Missouri and Kansas crowds will
arrive Sunday morning, Colorado, Nevada
ana Wyoming at o'clock a. m. Monday
morning, and Texas and Arkansas at 4 :45
o'clock p. m. Sunday afternoon. The Cal.
Mornia delegation will come IN over the
northwestern, and will arrive Sunday
evening, and the Nebraska delegation is
uue to arrive Saturday evening.
