CHICAGO. June 19.-The greatest SEN
sation of the day outside of political de-
velopments was the arrival of the Tam
many braves from New York. Nine
hundred of them marched into the Le-
land 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, and the
braves dotted their hats to the animal
above as each filed by. Tammany
reigned supreme. The larger part of
the braves were fne-lOoking men, and
were greatly admired by the vast
crowds who had gathered around the
Michigan Central depot and the hotel
to witness their arrival. All wore
badges marked Tammany hall. and
the majority of them wore miniature
pictures of Senator Hill upon their coats.
Among the big chieftains in the party
were Commissioner Bernard Martin,
Quarantine Commissioner Charles
Allen, Registrar Frank j. Fitzgerald,
John B. Cummings, ID. L.Tripp, Bridge
Commissioner Fl. C.Schwab, Aid. Rinck-
hoff, Jacob G. Wuend, Thomas Leamy,
Warden Charles FallOn, Police Justice
Ryan. Commissioner Walton Storm,
Judge Van Wick. ex-Judge Brown.
Justice Fitzsinmons, Chamberlain
Campbell. Assemblyman Martin. Aid.
Duffy and Bowling, Max Ahles, W. }.
Delaney, Joseph Scully. Police Com
missioner Sheehan, Charles Anderson,
Herman, James P. Heating, Michael
Harlgan, ex-senator Cullen, George
Best. Harry Hart and Joseph l.. Berry.
1t took two hours and
Several Big Drays
to unload from the train which bore the
braves the commissary department,
which riyalled the California delegation
in the number of barrels Of beer, cases
OF champagne, ten-year-old Kentucky
and wines of various kinds. The Tam
many men did not remain in their quar-
tiers long. They were anxious for in
formation on the situation. The
reports they had received while on the
way of Hill were rather discOurag-
ing, and most of Them at once
hurried to the headquarters at the
Auditorium hotel. There they were
assured that the Hill boom was very
much alive, and reports which had gone
out to the contrary were mugwump lies.
A few of the big Tammany contingent
had anything ill to say of Cleveland.
They all talked Hill, and said they were
confident that he would be the nominee.
but there did not seem to be great
amount of enthusiasm or earnestness in
their avowals. Bridge Commissioner
,Schwab, who is one of the leaders i'll
,.theocouncils of Tammany, said:
"yTammany hall will support the
nominee, be he Cleveland or any other
man. Our candidate is David B. Hill.
first, last and all the time. We think
he will be nominated. He is gaining
strength every hour.
Il seer 49, He Never Lost
political battle in his life. and the del
:egates who are not tied down hand and
foot to Grover Clevelend are beginning
to see that, under the superb leadership
of David b. Hill, New York would be
as sure to 90 Democratic as Texas. Mr..
Hill is particularly strong in the silver
states, and you will be surprised at the
vote in those states."
"Then Mr.. Cleveland, if nomin ated,
will be knifed?;'
"Tammany will support the nominee.
1t never bolts a ticket. l cannot of
course speak for individuals. but you
can put it down as certain that Tam

Senator Hill, however, can command
many thousand more votes in New
York than Cleveland. His plurality
would be greater than that which the
| state gave him in 1888 for governor"
Justice Ryan said:
"There is bitter opposition in New
| York to Mr.. Cleveland. He lost the
state in 1883 and is less popular now
! than then. when lie had the whole fed
| eral patronage to aid him. l believe he
| would be defeated" This seems to be
| the general sentiment among the Tam
many men.
WHO is talked of as second choice?"
81 am not informed as to the prefer
ence of the delegates. but think | am
| safe in saying that Cleveland is not the
second choice. He might be our thirty
fifth or thirty-sixth choice, but l
| doubt it,"
Croker at Work.
Mr.. Croker was in conference with
| many of the Tammany leaders who ar
| rived today, and they were ordered to
report in the morning for duty. Mr..
| Croker has planned combined assault
| on the delegates from the pro-silver
silver states, and most of the braves
WILDE assigned to missionary work
! among them. Senator Hlll's letter, con-
| tanned in the Associated Press
dispatches, and published this morning,
| advocating free bi-metallic coinage, was
! placed in the hands Of the delegates
| from the West and South, who will be
| given assurances that, if nominated and
| elected, Senator Hill will not veto sill
yer bill.
