Those active in the caucus claim that its

ooHs FULL OF ENTHUSIASM.
Delegate Ochs, who is one OF the editors

preached by an Associated Press represen-
tative and asked his opinion of the situation
stated unhesitatingly that everything points
unmistakably 10 the nomination OF Grover
Cleveland on the first ballot. EVERY at
tempt to disorganize the Cleveland forces
during the day has failed !" continued Mr.
Ochs, land the arguments OF the anti
Cleveland men instead of weakening the
Cleveland delegates have only served to
strengthen them" The alleged reason why
Mr.. Cleveland cannot carry New York

Of the fimsest character, and in
every instance where anti-Cleveland
New Workers are asked the question direct
whether or not they will support the nomi-
nee OF the convention, they declare most
positively that they will do so with un-
swerYing fidelity. This declaration Is
affirmed in most emphatic terms by no
lesser individuals than Gov. Flower, Amos
J. Cummings, Gen. Slocum aud other con-
spiouous leaders of the Hin movement. The
delegate, continuing, said the support Of
Mr.. Cleveland is not of the ephemeral sort,
but 10 loyal devotion to one whom
the great mass of the democratic voters
Of the United States recognize pre-
eminently to be the embodiment OF
true democracy as interpreted and
exemplitied by the democratic statesmen Of
the present day. Concluding Mr.. Oohs
said; "Grover Cleveland has so endeared
himself by his honesty and Integrity Co the
American people that following his nomina-
ton an over whelming wave Of enthusiasm
will sweep over the conservative, inde-
pendent thinkers of this land which will re-
turn him to the white house by one Of the

MISSOURI TO VOTE as A UNIT.
Gray, Boies and Bynum Mentioned
for the Vice Presidency.

Gray, Boies and Bynum Mentioned
for the Vice Presidency.
CHICAGO, June 20, 1870 p. M.-The
outcome Of a long debate over the instruc-
tions in the Missouri delegation was a de-
cision that the state would vote as a unit
for Mr.. Cleveland as long as his name was
before the convention. M. l.. Slardy
violently opposed the unit rule and In every
way end ,av Jred to force individual action
G. Ii. Jones, however, championed the first
proposition. and after a long and bitter
fight Chairman Moffat was ordered 20 an-
nounce thirty-four votes for Mr.. Cleveland
on every ballot until nomination was
reached.
Now that ox-Gov. Gray is out of the run
ming for first place upon the
generally conceded that he has
become the strongest candidate in sight
for the presidency. There is talk OF a
deal between Mr.. Whitney and Sepator
Voorhees, which settles this problem, but
the statement is strongly denied by both
gentlemen. At late hour Senator Voor-
hees said: "The situation has not changed
so far as know, and while the Indiana
delegation may very possibly vote as a unit
1t remains to be seen just what they will do.
Indiana ought to have the presidency, but
If the presidency goes to the east, then In
all fairness and good politics, Indiana
should have the presidency"
A MOVEMENT FOR BYNUM.
1t is understood that a rather formidable
movement has been begun in the Indiana
delegation for Representative Bynum for the
vice presidency on account of his labor
record. Congressman Bvnum, who is Ia
Chicago, does not encourage the mo vement
at all and he fatty said in the Indiana
rooms in the last hour, "the logical ticket is
Cleveland and Gray. This use of my name
is all foolishness, and is merely the result
of some little differences of opinion we have
been having In our state aud which some
Of our friends have not forgotten. Cleve-
land and Gray can carry Indiana against
the republicans without doubt"
In the Iowa delegation the landslide tow
ard Mr.. Cleveland has been carefully
marked and noted. Said Judge Spear OF
Nebraska; "Iowa wants Boies and NAV get
him. but If it does not reach first place it
should by all means have second. IL the
democracy wants the northwest there Is one
man, and only one, who can bring it in,
and that is Gov. Boies. / don't think the
party will be so foolish as to forget this fact
Gov. Boies must be on the ticket some W here
first If we can put him there, second II we
must be satisfied with the vice presidency

The Tennessee Editor Too Much for the
Governor.
CHICAGO, June %, 1920 p. M.-Gov.
Flower has been doing missionary work
here to-day. This morning he, with Amos
Cummings, Bourke Cochran, Gen. Slocum
and Parker Bush of the New York Assembly
met the Tennessee delegation, which Is in-
structed TO vote as a unit for Mr.. Cleve-
land. Gov. Flower made a statement iu
behalf of Senator Hill and then Delegate
George W. Ochs Of Chattanooga opened a
dialogue.
"Cannot Mr.. Cleveland command more
independent tes in New York state than
any democratN asked Mr.. Ochs.
II think it likely that he can," replied
Gov. Flower.
'Is it not fact, too" pursued Mr.. Ochs,
"that the same influences are now operat-
ing against Mr.. Cleveland in New York
that were opposed to him In 1884 and
lSSSf'
Gov. Flower assented.
as IL not true, too, that the contest
against MIR. Cleveland in New York was
more fierce in 1888 than in lS84F'
Gov. Flower was not sure this was not q
fact-indeed, he believed it was
'Then why did Mr.. Cleveland in 1888 p oil
more votes in New York than in lS54l" =
To this Gov. Flowers response was at
lamnaDy always supported tue regular
ticket; whereupon the Tennesseean remaH1ed
that such an explanation scarcely answered
the question unless itshould be assumed that
Tsmmany did not support the regular
ticket so warmly in 1884.
did not the voice and influence of Mr.
Cleveland aid very largely to your elec-
tionl" the delegate asked Of Gov. Flower,
and the governor thought they did.
A CALL FROM WISCONSIN,.
A special committee from Wisconsin,
consisting Of Gov. Peck, Gen. Bragg and
other distinguished delegates from that
state, also waited on the Tennessee delega-
tion on behalf of exPresident Cleveland.
An amusing anecdote in connection with
their visit occurred when one of the Ten
nessee delegates asked Gov. Peck why he
had no Cleveland badge on. The governor
replied, pointing to a safety-pin which was
pinned conspicuouslY on his coat lapel: II
could not get Cleveland badge, but / am
wearing this safety-pin in honor of Baby
Ruth"
Delegates from the silver states were in

Of Arizona and New Mexico to additional repre-
sentation. recommend that the claims OF New
Mexico and Arizona be recognized by the con
vention to the extent OF the admission TO the
convention with representation equal to the
representation Of the smallest states.
If this goes through the convention, and
there seems to be no reason to expect that
it will not, the four provisional delegates
each territory elected will have places in
the convention. This will swell the total
number up TO 904 and make Goa votes neces-
sary IN order to secure nomination. The
committee then adjourned subject TO call.

Immediately after the meeting, Secretary
Whitney said: "In view of the situation as
it is now known to OK st, there will be no
contest for temporary chairman, which
means that Mr.. Owens OF Kentucky will
be the temporary chairman. 1t has been
determined at the meeting tonight by
repT esentatives Of the states who turned in
an account of the absolutely sure votes for
Mr.. Cleveland to the number of COL. which
Is two beyond the necessary two-thirds TO
nominate, that the permanent chairman
shall be William L. Wilson Of West Vir-
ginia.
LAST night we counted 500. for Mr..
Cleveland. Tonight, as have snid, we are
absolutely sure OF COL votes, which cannot
be touched or phased by any influence which
may now be brought to bear upon the men
who represent these votes. In this list
we count from Indiana 30 votes,
from Ohio 16 votes. from Kentucky Is,
from South Carolina vote, but we have
not relied upon any from Mar yland or any

The various states have brought here reso-
lutions which they wish embodied In the
platform. These have caused to be printed
for the convenience Of the resolutions COM

AS to the nominee for second place, Mr..
Whitney was cautious. He said, however,
that he presumes that Indiana would pre-
sent the name of Gov. Gray, and he Thoughts
it might be very warmly urged before the
convention While none of those pres
ent at the meeting to-night
would state that an understanding
had been reached as to the candidacy
of Gov. Gray the spirit of their speech
and the manner OF their utterances left
little doubt as to the probability in their
minds that Gov. Gray will be placed
second upon the national ticket. Mr..
Whitney wished a deuial made as
TO the rumor current to-day to the effect
that he had received letter from Senator
German stating that he (Mr. Gorman1 had
determined that his name could not be
presented to the convention. MIR. Whitney
had received no written or verbal state
meut of that kind and In difference to Sens
ator German, whom the rumor might mis-
represent. he wished positive denial to

HOWELL FOR COMMITTEEMAN.

Hoke Smith Bsaten-rhe Vote for
Howell Unanimous.
CHICAGO. June 20, P. M.-The most in-
teresting development in the work Of the
state delegations to-day was the surprise
brought about by the announcement that
CLARK Howell Of the Atlanta Constitution
had been chosen by unanimous vote of the
state delegation as national committeeman
for the next four years after a vigorous
fight by Hoke Smith. who was candidate
on what he urged as the Cleveland
issue. When the Georgia convention,
ON NAV Is, went for Mr.. Cleveland
by close vote, Mr.. Smith began an active
fight for the position of national co nmittee-
man. This fight he continued until 1t was
avjdent that Mr.. Howell would defeat hi i'm.
Then he urged several other names, but, his
efforts being futile, he withdrew and left a
walkover to Mr.. Howell
