Cn1cAao, June l0.-The greatest sen
sation of the day, outside of political
developments, was the arrival Of tho
Tammany braves, from New York.
Nine hundred of them marched Into the
Leland Hotel this afternoon in all their
war paint. A stuffed tiger had been
placed over the desk OF the
hotel clerk looking fierce and life
like aud the braves DOTTED their
hats 10 the animal above rs each filed
by. The Tammany crowd reisned SUI
preme. The larger part OF the braves
were fine looking men, and were greatly
admired by tho vast crowds who had
gathered around the Michigan Central
depot aud hotels to witness ther arrival.
All wore badges marked "Tammany
Hall" and tho majority OF them wore
miniature pictures Of Senator Hill upon
their coats.
Bridge Commissioner schwab, who is
one OF the leaders in the council OF
Tammany said: "Iammany will sup
port the nominee, DO he Cleveland or
any other man. Our candidate is David
b. Hill, first, last and MI the time. We
think lie will be nominated"
Mr.. Croker was i'll conference with
the Tammany leaders who arrived to-
day, and they were ordered to report
in the morning.

CHICAGO, June l0.-That nice problem
in politics which confronted tho May
convention at syracuse-shall We con-
test or protcst2-is again rising for re-
determination by the delegation there
and then chosen.
The situation as it now exists has
been cautiously 'canvassed, and when
the anti.H Hill leaders went to bed last
night after counting up the noses that
that had been counted by their mis-.
sionaries, they had a net result OF SIS
delegates who were believed to be vot-
Ing friends OF Grover Cleveland. This
total surprised even tho leaders OF the
anti-Hill movement, and it IL fair to
say that they do not rely upon these
figures as copper.riveted. The result
was reached by a poll made by the anti
Hill men, supplemented in localities
whence they had no information Of
their own, by acceptance Of the figures
in the Tammany list which had come
into their hands. This forenoon the
anti. Hill list was revised in accordance
with later Information, and when the
leaders pushed their waist coats against
the dinner table they felt complacont
over the conviction that there are $50
delegates who will form ahoilow square
for Grover Cleveland, and who will
stand fast until heaven and earth come
together, II SO much timo shall be re.

It has been received with good
deal Of quiet rejoicing by the Boies
leaders who are counting on some
strength in the Minnesota delegation
and consider this a promise Of 1t. How
ever, the state convention at which the
entire state delegation was chosen was
strongly III favor OF the denomination
OF Cleveland, enthusiastically endorsed
his administration and instructed the
delegation to vote for his nomination as
long as there WINS any chance of his Sc
curing tho honor. Further than this
the delegation was instructed to vote as
a unit, on all matters coming up in the
national convention. National Com
mitteeman Doran, who is also adele
gate at large from Minnesota, says that
in his opinion Cleveland will receive
fully 5000 more votes in Minnesota,
than would any other Democrat.

Prefer German, but nrs Handicapped by
9Iaryland's Delegation.
CHICAGO, June 19.-The silver phalanx
met in caucus tonight at the rooms of
the Montana delegation in the Grand
Pacific Hotel. Prior to the caucus
there was not little tendency shown
TO arrive at tacit understanding as to
the candidate best available to keep
Cleveland out OF the nomination. The
names oftenest heard in the confidential
talks wherever groups OF pro-silver
westerners wore gathered was that OF
German, OF Maryland. Hills letter
was gradually discussed and the popu-
larity OF the New York senator with
the silver men was visibly increased,
but there seemed no growth of conf
dence that he could win out, even
though Cleveland were successfully
shelyed.
"The troublewith German" said Mr..
Patterson, OF Denver, with evident re-
gret in his tones while answering ques-
tions about the Maryland SENATOR. 'fs
that his own state delegation has been
steadily working and talking for Cleve-
land. We have been able to obtain no
assurance that German is candidate.
The western men have not, however,
got beyond preliminaries, and ageneral
movement on their part toward any one
candidate is yet premature. What we
are first working for, and what we pro-
pose to fight for, il necessary, in the
convention, is q declaration pledging
the party to restore the coinage to where
It was in 1873. With platform OF that
kind, almost any candidate accepting it
and making the run could scarcely help
being satisfactory to u.s."

CHICAGO, juno 10.-An enthusiastic
meeting OF Democratic union printers
was held here to-day. The meeting was
called with the object OF opposing and
showing disapprobalion OF any recogni.
ton BY the Democratic convention OF
Roswell p. Flower, governor OF the state
OF New York, as candidate for honors
during its session this week. That to
which the local printers object is the
so.called duplicity OF Governor Flower
on his treatment OF tho union printers
OF New York when he vetoed the state
printing house bill after majority OF
both honses OF the legislature had sup
ported tho measure. Resolutions in
very strong language, setting forth the
attitude OF Governor Flower toward
laborlng men in general and the union
printers in particular, and protesting
against Mr.. Flowers name being used
in any capacity before the Democratic
convention this week, were adoptedand
will be presented to the national COM
mittee. 1t is expected that there will
be ut least 1000 signatures to the reso-
lutions.

DIssENsloN IN PENNSYLVANIA.
The Pennsylvania delegation came in
last night with the usual number Of
shouters who made their headquarters
resound with the name OF Cleveland.
Pennsylvania is pledged solidly for
Cleveland and Mr.. Harrity. says that it
will give sixty-four votes to the eX-
President on the first ballot.
In spite OF this declaration OF the ex-
postmaster OF Philadelphia there is q
minority, active, aggressive and well
led, disposed to take stand against
giving the delegation unanimously to
Cleveland, and the delegation had not
been in the hotel fifteen minutes before
talk Of the dissenison in the delegation
began to crop out. The minority in the
delegation who ire opposed to Harrity
are led by Jim Gudey, OF Pittsburgh,
ex-senator Wallace and Congressman
Mutchler. They will first attempt to
break the rule with the delegation.
II that does not turn out successfully,
and it probably will not, they will
probably bring the matter before the
convention, as the Tammany delegates
did in 1884, and fight to have it broken
there. The second choice OF the delega-
ton is Governor Pattison, but there is
strong anti-Pattison feeling in the
delegation arising from the governors

Enough Of the West Virginia delega-
ton arrived last evening to indicate
that the complexion OF the delegation
will be eleven for Cleveland, one Tor

The delegation is uninstructed, but at
the state convention resolutions were
passed expressing sentiment favora.
bic to Cleveland. The German feeling,
however, is very strong among the dele
gates.
A large contingent OF the Missouri
delegation is also installed in the Mis-
souri, headquarters at tho Palmer
House. There is II bitter fight raging
within the delegations over the control
OF its organization, there Ibeing several
candidates for local committeeman, but
the Cleveland sentiment is very strong
with both factions. Governor Francis,
OF that state, is spoken OF as possible

the fortunate winner. While the Mis-

Houston Counties Meet and Make
Known their Choice.

The Pictorial Convention, to NOM

ton, convened at the courthouse this
morning, full representation being
present. The convention was called
to order by Judge Tyler, chairman Of
the Democratic Executive Commit
tee of this county. He stated the oh
ject Of the gathering, and on motion
j. M. Nesbitt, of Houston county,
was elected chairman of the conven-
ton, with the press representatives
secretaries.
In taking the chair Mr.. Nesbitt
made brief remarks, saying that he
had come to the convention in the
interest Of no particular man, but as
a Democrat.
On motion committee Of three
was appointed on basis Of representa-
ton. This committee In its report
gave Houston county eight votes and
Montgomery county twenty-six. The
delegations from both counties then
retired for consultation. In this con-
sultation Baxter Watkins, OF the Six
tenth district was selected as the
nominee of the convention and his
name was presented by Squire Cald
we'll. w. 9. Shelton, of Erin, said
that Houston county had the fullest
confidence in the wisdom of the
choice and would present no candi-
date. He therefore moved that Mr..
Watkins be nominated by acclama-
ton. The motion was adopted, not,
however, before M. Savage had Sec
onded the nomination in a brief
speech, giving something of the his
tory Of the nominee. He said that
Mr.. Watkins was a Democrat; that
he had been for Buchanan before the
State convention, but was now for
the ticket from president to represen-
tative. He was good Democrat, a
good man and would make a good
representative in.the.legislature. =
On motion of g. III. Bailey the fol-
lowing'resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense OF
