satisfied with Boies or
GIN. sLocrM. Morrison, but the name
most frequently heard in connection with the
possibility of a new combination was that Of
Gen. Henry W. Slocum Of New York German
the New Workers would have nothing 60 do
with.
The New York delegates were very indignant
with the Maryland Senator, whom they charge
with having broken their combination against
Cleveland two days ago after encouraging them
TO believe that he would stand by them. They
talked freely about Mr.. German and told some
Of the inside history OF the German movement
OF Sunday and Its relation 10 the Hill move
ment.
Mr.. German and Mr. Brice. they said. encour-
aged the Hill leaders in New York state TO call
the midwinter convention. Mr.. Gorman prom
ised that the Maryland convention should lie
held soon after the convention at Albany. IL
was part Of the policy of the anti-Cleveland
people TO weaken the strength of Cleveland
through the country by having his state instruct
for Hill and by following this with an anti-Cleve-
hand convention in Marylznd, which has always
been Cleveland stronghold.
Mr.. German, the Hill men say, broke faith in
this and did not have the Maryland convention
called until almost every other convention in
the country had been held. Two weeks ago
Mr.. German met Senator Hill, Mr.. Murphy
and Mr.. Sheehan in New York. This meeting
was chronicled in the papers, but no statement
was made public Of what had been done. The
Hill men say that the meeting was held at the
instance Of Mr.. Gorman to consider the
opposition TO Cleveland. Mr.. Gorman
urged Mr.. Hill and his friends TO
make the fight against Cleveland ut
Chicago and promised them his support He
intended at that time TO remain in the east,
but Mr.. Hill urged him to go TO Chicago and
finally he consented TO do so. Arriving here,
he continued TO confer with the Hill people and
at one Of these conferences held last Sunday
he authorized them TO use his name in the eff
fort to form a continuation aQainst (leValan1
All OF this, they say, they have now discovered
was for the purpose Of furthering the selfish
ambition Of Mr.. German. When they laid
before Mr.. German the results of their canvass
showing that with his name they could pre-
vent the nomination Of Mr.. Cleveland on the
first ballot they did not show enough strength
to assure to Mr.. German the nomination and he
thereupon repudiated the whole arrangement
and went into the Cleveland camp.
Mr.. Gormans side Of the question has not
been stated in full, bu. his friends in the Mary
land delegation have given out since the can-
vass Of Monday the statement that he refused to
permit his name 70 be used. and that his refusal
was because he believed that il was TO be put
up only for the purpose of beating Mr.. Cleve-
land.
POLICY OF DELAY.
The policy of the anti-Cleveland leaders, 10
was announced, would be a policy of delay.
They would fight everything in the convention

until tomorrow, when they hope to have their
forces in better order.
They succeeded last night in getting from the
subcommittee on the committee on rules a re-
port against the unit rule. The announcement
of this fact created a sensation at a late hour
when it came out. II filed The Cleveland men
with surprise and apprehension. They realized
later, though, that the rules Of the convention
are made by a simple majority and not a two
thirds majority OF the convention. and that
whether the full committee sustained the action
OF the subcommittee or not the report would be
beaten in convention. But they reaIized also
that the fight on the unit rule might be made
prolonged and bitter and not only would delay
the balloting, but would concentrate the anti
Cleveland forces so as TO show their full
strength on poll Of the convention. IL this
vote should show less than two-thirds of the
convention for Cleveland it would be a CONTRA
diction of the claims of Mr.. Whitney and Mr..
Dickinson and woald give TO the opposition the
confidence which il has lacked
CLEVELAND MEN CAUGHT MAPPING.
Attorney General Hensell Of PENNSYLVANIA
said after the meeting: They caught us nap

practically by default Most Of those present
were Hill men, The report to the general COM
mittee is TO be made at O'Clock this morning
and we shall try to overthrow it."

ILLINOIS DISSATISFIED.
Not only are the Illinois men res.ive about
the unit rule, but they are displeased with the
combination believed to have been made by the
Cleveland managers on Gray for Vice Presi-
dent. Illinois has two favorite sons for candl-
dates for the vice presidency. One of them is
a very dark horse. Lambert Tree. The other.

time as q good man for the second place on the
