C[EYELAND'S BOON.
Strongly Reinforced by
New Arrivals.
WHITNEY HAS HIS SAY.
Cleveland's Opponents Admit Majori-
ty for the ex-President.

CHICAGO, June 1s.-The Cleveland lead
ers received strong reinforcements I'm the
arrival of Charles j. Canda, treasurer OF
the national committee. Edward B. Whit
ney and Rignal Is. Woodward, all three
delegates from the Syracuse convention,
Colonel r. G. Munroe, secretary OF the
state committee, appointed at Syracuse,
and Miles Ross, national committeeman
from New Jersey, together with Fred
erick "A. Fuller Of jamestown, N. Y.
members OF the Democratic state commit
tee. Immediately upon their arrival they
held brief conference with ex-Secretary
Fairchild and General Tracy, aud at
which a plan Of action for reaching the
southern delegations as fast as they ar
rived, was discussed.
The manifesto issued by Edward MUIR
ply on behalf Of the Hill forces was also
talked over. Subsequently Mr.. Whitney
said; 'In his interview Mr.. Murphy
seems desirous Of giving the impression
that the leaders Of the May convention
movement have been In the habit OF op-
posing Democratic state tickets in New
York, and particularly that 1891. I can
say TO Mr.. Murphy that the facts are to
to the contrary, and he knows it very we'll
Does Mr.. Murphy forget that last fall
mittee were very anxious to make the
fact as prominent rs possible that
Mr.. Fairchll and his friends were
warmly supporting Governor Flower as
well as the Democratic state and legisla-
tive tickets. Does he forget that the state
committee requested me to prepare an ad-
dress TO the Democratic independent
voters Of the state for publicationf Does
he forget that I prepared that paper and
procured signatures that II was considered
at several meetings Of the committee;
that Mr.. Murphy was present and that 1t
was finally given out by that committee
with the statement that II was one Of the
most important events of the campaign
Among the signers to this document were
seven gentlemen who are now delegates
from the Syracuse convention to Chicago.
According To Mr.. Murphy the rank and
file of the Democratic party are prepared
to vote against the most popular Demo-
crat in the country for the presidency be-
cause they feel his election would please
the Syracuse delegation. To this we may
say that il Mr.. Murphy believes what he
says, then he regards his own followers as
mugwXmps rather than Democrats. His
interview Is an insult to the regular
Democracy of the state Of New York.
Hill organization who are regarded with
suspicion by the Democracy in general
These men are Murphy himself and Lieu
tenant Governor Sheehan. There is gen.
eral impression in the state of New York
that they were treacherous to the national
ticket in 1883, and think 1t not unlikely
that they will be so again this year II they
do not happen to be pleased with the
nomination made. But they will not be
able to carry with them as many Demo-
Gratis as they were before.
Every Democrat in the state OF New
York will vote for Mr.. Cleveland IL nom-
mated, and he can hold an independent
and Republican vote OF size never before
known in a national campaign. Nobody
else can do this, nor come anywhere near
it, for that reason, although there are
many Democrats whom l would have per-
sonally preferred to Cleveland for the
presidential nomination. have no doubt
that he is by far the most available candi-
date of the state of New York.
Delegate Woodward of the Ninth con-
gressional district OF New York, who has
been one of the active members of the ex-
ecutive committee in New York, said re-
garding Muryhy's manifesto: II cannot
see anything in IL, except the usual game
IT.
Cleveland and Tilden's opponents tried in
effectually in 1876 and 1SS4:'
1t had been intended to hold caucus of
the Indiana delegation last night, but so
few of the delegates are on the ground
that Chairman Taggart decided to make
no effort to get them together until Mon
day morning, when their course in the
convention will be decided upon. Chair
man Taggart favored the enforcement of
the unit rule In the delegation. This de.
cision would deliver IL over bodily to
Cleveland, as the Cleveland element Is in
control.
Some talk was heard concerning Con-
gresham w. r. Morrison as a dark
horse 1t was mainly promoted by Con-
gressmen Foreman and Fithian, who have
established themselves at the Palmer
House. They have number Of lieuten-
ants with them who will be used for the
purpose OF promoting the interstate COM
merce commissioners boom when IL Is
thought the proper time has arrived.
Whenever an Illinois man is to be found,
however, the idea of Morrison cutting any
important figure is regarded only as
joke.
Hon. Michael Doran Of st. Paul, chair
man of the Minnesota delegation, and
bosses Of the same city, have arrived in
advance OF their delegation, which Is
instructed for Cleveland. They are en-
thusiastic for Cleveland and propose to do
some hustling in the other delegations In
his interest.

correspondingly denunciatory OF Murphy

The men started out yesterday morn
ing to literally cover the interior OF the
Auditorium Hotel with Autographs Of their
candidates, and the stranger would get
the impression In the afternoon that they
had hired or bought the structure for
their own uses, and entered upon posses
