wonderful change; the magic of the ex-

about the solid phalanx of opposition in

move his own name from the contest.
In connection with this renewed oppos-
ton local paper devotes almost page
this morning to the publication of fac
siinile letter signed by every delegate from
the Empire State, declaring that in their
best Judgment the nomination of Cleve-
land would imperil the success of the
party and would oppose 1t to the loss of
the electoral vote Of New York. Notwith-
standing this declaration. the New York
ers, though they sal in secret conclaye into
the early hours of the morning, have no
settled plan by which they can accomplish
their much desired object. The prevailing
sentiment ~ that Hill released his follow
ers too late in the day and that the posi-
bility of uniting upon another candidate
mt the eleventh hour is out of the question.
Mr.. Whitney and the other Cleveland
leaders are by no means alarmed ut this
llnlooked-for change in the Hill camp.
They believe that the only digniiied
course which the New Workers can pursue
is to register their votes for Hill. Apart
from this little storm there is

the session being prolonged by sharp
fight over the silver plank to be recon-
mended TO the full committee. The out
come of the fight was u majority report in
favor of 'straddle' on the question, and
minority report, to meet the unconpro-

stood five to three in favor of the

DR.. Il. G. Shortlidge has Just returned
from Salt Lake, Utah, where he had
accompanied Giles Lambson of the WASH
ington fisheries department, who took out
q consignment of $500, 900 shad TO be
deposited in the Bear river, an affiuent of
Salt Lake. The shad fry were deposited
at point so miles upstream, where the
intense sadness of the great lake would
not affect them. DIR. Shortlidge states
that when the fish attain their growth
they find their way to the bracxish water,
at the mouth of the river. and stay there
for three years. Then they migrate up.
stream for spawning purposes. Quite o
number of shad was caught this spring,
and enough has been shown to prove that
the project of the government TO propagate
shad in that river is successful.
The party returned via Chicago. Dr..
Shortlidge paid a heightened visit tosthe
Fisheries Building at the Worlds Fair.
According to the fair catalogue IL is l63x3s5
feet. The annexes connected with tho
main building by arcades are circular in
form and 1876 feet in diameter. It's total
cost was SOS, 900. The building is consid-
cred by many the handsomest on tho
grounds.
The general fisheries exhbitwill be in
the main building, angling exhibit in west
annex, and aQuaria in the last annex. The
water capacity of the aquaria is 10000
gallons. Salt water fish will be shown in
tanks of 10000 gallons. The salt water is
brought from the Atlantic ocean, being,
condensed for shipment to one-fifth its
bulk, and then being restored at the tanks
with fresh water.

CHICAGO, June q Now that the P-esi
denoy is practically disposed of. in ali bu,

which is always active In political conven.

The selection of Ex-Governor Isaac p. GRAY
OF Indiana, as the running mate to OK
President Cleveland seemed probable last
night and this morning but later In the
day 1t trahspired that Mr.. GRAY might have
some opposition where ii was least ex.
pected. There are various members OF
the Indiana delegation among whom are
said to be number of leaders of the Cleve-
land faction in the Hoosier State, who are
opposed to the selection of Mr. Gray. and
who would be disposed TO construe his
nomination as an affront to the people
who have borne the brunt of battle in the
Hoosier State in behalf of Cleveland in
opposition the Presidential ambition of
Indiana's favorite son. So 1t seems that
the selection of Mr.. Gray us means of in
suring the electoral vote of that state for
the Democratic ticket might not after all
conduce with any certainty to the result
which is hoped TO be attained, and the dis
cussion of this peculiar situation in the
Hoosier State has caused the entire cues
ton to be opened up again.
The proverb that politics makes strange
bedfcliows' was never better illustrated
than IN THIS controversy over the Vice
presidency. The close Of the day finds the
Cleveland people of Indiana secretly allied
with the anti-Cleveland people faction in
the attempt to prevent the nomination Of
Mr.. Gray. The former are actuated By the
desire to prevent the ex-governor gaining
political snpremacyin the state of Indiana,
and the latter are burning with a desire
for revenge on the Gray people for con-
senting to turn over the entire vote Of
Indiana to Grover Cleveland when il was

CHICAGO, June 2l.--The Delaware dele

national committee and stands solid for
Cleveland.
Since the complete collapse of the OPPOSE
ton TO Cleveland the Delaware plan of
bringing ont Senator Gray as possible
candidate has been entirely abandoned
and the boom has been laid away, to be
possibly resurrected four years from now.
Relative TO the general situation Mr..
Bayard WINS asked to, night:
what do you believe about the final
outcome of the convention, senator ?"
1T is most undoubtedly Cleveland. He
will be nominated OH the first ballot, and [
think the country will be amazed at the
lnanimity with which the party will go to
him. AS to the second place | shouldn't
be at all surprised If Governor Gray of In

CHICAGO, June 2l.-The ante convention
struggle has ended. and if II ballot were
taken when the delegates assemble in the
wigwam to day, according to present
predictions Grover Cleveland would be the
nominee of the Democratic party by a
practically unanimous vote. In other
words, the situation has not changed since
last night Cleveland and Gray will make
up the Presidential ticket The battle
seems to be over, and except some sudden
change, possible only in the ever-shftiDg
gaIue OF politics. takes place, il is probable
that before two days have passed, the work
Of the convention will have ended.
Croker, Tammany and Hill, recognizing
the failure to secure that good western
man upon whom it was hoped the anti
Cleveland element might be united have
begun to recognize the futility of carrying
the fight any further. The latest official
figures compiled by Whitney and Dickin-
son give Cleveland COL votes, two more
than are necessary for the requisite ma
jority.
CLEVELAND, BEYOND A DOUBT.
The opening of the convention day finds
the clouds OF political sensation clearing
away, and il does not require the divine
gift of prophecy TO predict the nomination
Of Grover Cleveland on the first ballot.
Indeed, this result of the contest is gener-
ally conceded now, even by the friends of
Hill and Boies, the only two rivals of the
ex-President In the field to-day. although
there is every indication that the ex-Presi-
dents opponents will go down to defeat
with oolors flying and the solid support OF
their respective states behind them.
The official action of the Illinois delega-
ton last night in deciding to cast the As
votes of the Prairie State for Grover Cleve-
land and the resolve of the Indiana dele
gatian to fall in line with the votes of that
state and finally the decision of the great
Keystone state TO vote as a unit and cast
the entire "a votes of Pennsylvania for the
TX. President has about removed all doubt
from the situation. German declares for
Cleveland and says he will receive the
unanimous support of the Maryland dele
CATION. The friends of Morrison are
among the Cleveland shouters and the
friends of Pattison and Russell and Camp
bell are all among the active supporters of
Cleveland to-day
GRAY FOR vIGE-PREsIDENr.
1t is generally expected that Gray of
Indiana will be the nominee for the Vice
presidency So secure are the Cleveland
people in their position, that they have de-
cided to make no fight against the selec-
ton of Hon. W. C. Owens of Kentucky US
temporary chairman. Mr.. Owens has been
identified with the anti-Cleyeland people.
and indeed is a candidate OF that faction for
the temporary craftsmanship, and until late
last night the Cleveland people were fully
resolved to oppose hls seleotion by putting
up an ayowed Cleveland man rs their can
didate When the latter advices came Ill,
however, showing that there was no longer
a reasonable doubt of the ox-President's
