On motion of Delegate Braggs of Wiscon
sin, then at Q p. m. adjourned until
o'clock tomorrow.
WILSON FOR PERMANENT CHAIRMAN.
The committee on permanent organiza
ton elected William L. Wilson of Yves
Virginia permanent chairman and s. P
Sherin of Indiana permanent secretary
The name of F. G. Dubignon of Georgi
was presented for permanent chairman
but Mr.. Dubignon appeared and explained
that the presentation of his name was with
out his approval. Both men were voted
for, however, and Mr.. Wilson evidently
having decided majority his election wal
made unanimous on motion of Mr.. Dubig
mons friends without the result of the bal
| lot being announced.
TAMMANY DEsPoNDENT.
The Tammany meeting at the auditorium
this morning was very gloomy gathering
The influences of the night before were
| still dominant and the most hopeful state.
| ment made was that something more than
| 300 votes could be counted for Boies'against
Cleveland.
Governor Flower was met Immediately
after leaving the room where the Network
delegation was in session. "There is moth
ing to be said," he replied in answer to q
question, "but you may take it for granted
that the opposition to Mr.. Cleveland has
seen no reason to believe that it has not q
good fighting chance of winning"
30 oosI hat -,
Hill, governor. You were quoted as the
authority for that statement in the anti
snapper meeting this morning."
swell, I am willing that Mr.. Hill should
be Withdrawn, although have authorized
nobody to make such statement for me.
My position is just this: We believe that
Cleveland cannot carry New York and we
want the democracy to name some mana
man who can carry the state. Governor
Hills friends are not selfish. If there is
some other man upon whom those
delegates can unite who are thoroughly
satisfied that Cleveland is an impossibiIity,
then we will go to him, whoever he may
be. There is talk to-day about Boies. 1
have no objection to Boies, neither has
any other member of our delegation. If
he can show strength enough to warrant
our giving him New York's vote it is very
certain we will give it to him. The only
thing you can safely predict about the New
York delegation is that it will vote steadily
until the end against Cleveland. Further
than this none of us can give you any in
formation"
WATTERSON FOR CLEVELAND.
Kentucky this morning followed the lead
of Indiana and Illinois and the votes of the
Blue Grass state will be cast solidly for
Grover Cleveland. This result was reached
at an Intensely exciting meeting of
the delegation at which Hen
~ Watterson made one of his
famous speeches. in which he said now
and henceforth he was for Grover Cleve-
land and he hoped the Blue Grass state
would be in line when the imam of desti-
ny" was nominated. Mr.. Watterson said
he saw yesterday that the nomination of
bors in opposition to Mr.. Cleveland had
been done from the sincere desire to see a
winner named and he had up to within a
short time ago been convinced that it would
be madness to urge Mr.. Cleveland's nomi-
nation in the face of the fact that yawn-
ing grave would be prepared for him by
his enemies in New York. Mr.. Wat
terson said he counted himself one
of the truest friends Cleveland
ever had and it had been to save him
from what he thought was sure death that
would not be marked for slaughser in the
Empire state. But the last thirty-six
hours had worked wonderful change, the
magic of the ex-president's name had even
cast it's spell about the solid phalanx of
opposition in New York and the leaders
there were retreating sullenly, but backing
out of their opposition.
ARKANSAS FOR CLEVELAND.
The Arkansas delegation met to-day and
instructed Chairman Rogers to cast the
solid vote of the state for Cleveland. The
full delegation was present and the vote of
instruction was unanimous.
SILVER MEN FOR BoIEs.
The delegation from the state of Wash
ington will al 30 cast solid vote for Cleve-
land. Delegates from the silver states had
another caucus to-day and in view of SEN
ator Germans refusal to permit the use of
his name as candidates for the presidency
decided to cast their vote for Governor
Boies of Iowa. A subcommittee was ap-
pointed headed by ex-senator Thomas Pat
terson of Colorado for the purpose of pre-
senting the silver view of the western dele
gates to the committee on resolutions. 1t
was decided that in case the platform
committee refused to recommend free
coinage bimetsllic plank, an appeal should
be taken to the convention. There was
much talk among the delegates present
about throwing the support of the silver
states to the peoples party. in case the
convention should not comply
with the demands of the silver interests,
and it is probable representatives of the
silver states will wait upon the convention
of that party on July 4, with that purpose
in view.
COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS.
Immediately after the adjournment of
the convention the committee on resolu-
lions met in the room set apart for it in
the convention building, and organized by
electing Hon. Thomas F. Bayard of Della
ware chairman and G.. II. Jones of Mis-
souri, secretary. Owing to the fact that
the floor of the room was water soaked
from the rain which had dripped through
the roof, the committee accepted Chair
man Brice's invitation to hold its session
in the parlors of the Palmer house, which
had been reserved for the national COM
mittee. The committee extended its thanks
to the Union League club, q republican
organization, for an invitation to meet in
the parlor of that club. Several
resolutions were introduced, but action
thereon was deferred. Most of these re-
ferred to the tariff and silver questions, the
tariff resolutions being of decidedly radi-
cal character and declaring in substance for
tariff for revenue only. There were half a
dozen resolutions introduced on the finance
question, those from the silver states and
some of the southern states being emphatic
declarations for free and unlimited coinage
of silver; but those from the eastern states
usually disposed of the subject by de-
mand for ''honest money" The following
resolution, sent in by Representative
Bacon of New York, which has been en-
dorsed by the democratic members of the
committee on banks and bank
ing of the national house, was introduced:
Resolved, That we recognize that the
national banking system under existing
laws, and partly by reason of the dimin-
ished amount and increased price of the
bonds of the United States, has become in
adequate to the needs of the people and
we pledge the democratic party to such
amendment and alteration of the laws re-
lating to banking So will afford to all
localities the opportunity to supply them
selves with adequate banking facilities
and safe, elastic and properly distributed
currency. The committee adjourned un-
til o'clock.
