regarded as formidable proportions.
The information came from Senator
Shields, the governorBpoliticalc confidante
and manager, and was to the effect that
propositions had come from Senator Brice
and Watterson looking to throwing the
anti Cleveland strength to the Iowan.
These propositions were brought to
Shields by confidential agents of Brice
and Wattersou, who said that full can
vass of the situation and developed the
fact that the German strength was not
as large as had been calculated, and
that his friends had about began to rally
the Cleveland strength to the Boies
standard Senator Shields was also told
that some of tire uninstructed delegates,
who were claimed for Cleveland, We're
lukewarm in that direction.
More than this, it was hinted at, al
though not stated as a fact, that Boies
| could count on good proportion of
| New York's support in the event of its

an impossibility. Shortly after this the
Iowans were notified that the South
| Carolina delegation bad decided to cast
thirteen votes solid fer Boies. This was
one of the first fruits of the dicker, and

This statement was issued from the
headquarters of the New York Hill dele
gates last night
In reply to inquiries addressed to us by dele
gates from states instructed to vote for Mr..
Grover Cleveland, off New York, thcdelegates
of New York, with a deep sense of RESPONSE
bity to tho Democracy of the United States
are constrained to mako answer that in
best judgment Mr.. Cleveland's nomination
would imperil the success of the party and
would expose it TO tho loss of the electoral
vote of tho state.
Secretary Defreest said: "This was
adopted by the delegation without
dissenting vote. 1t was, in fact, indorsed
by every delegate"

evident in the Hill headquarters when

appeared in a very brief time, and the
leaders were talking of victory again.

sition of conceding Mr.. Cleyeland's
: nomination. was asked.
'sNot at all, said the Tammany leader.
"Mr. Cleveland cannot secure enough
votes to nominate him on the first ballot.
and after the first ballot he will lose.
Mr.. Hill is in the race to stay, and a
steady gain is noted. We have great
many solid delegations that will come
over in the second ballot"
Mr. Murphy. when asked If he would
give his estimate as to the vote, said
p, that figures were treacherous things,
but" he added, "Mr. Cleveland can
not exceed 500 votes on the first ballot,
and that will exhaust his strength"
Further than this he refused to talk.
ELater it was learned that Lieutenant
Governor Sheehan had made the state
ment to the New York delegates in Sc
cret session that Missouri had secretly
agreed to vote as body for Morrison,
and that they had sent him an assurance
that they would do co. He was also as.
sured that il they did Kansas would fol.
low them and this would take fifty-fouI
votes from Mr.. Cleveland's strength. II
