Hotel. to-day, when the Buffalo delega-
tion, wearing Cleveland badges, came IN
contact with a party from Oneida county
which was shouting for Hill. Both sides
became excited, and a war of words en-
sued. Some very strong expressions were
exchanged, and some of the disputants be-
came 50 heated that only the interference
of their friends prevented an exchange OF
something stronger than verbal personal
tiles.
THE ANTI-sTAPPERs FEELING SORE.
At the headquarters of the anti-Hillites.
In the Grand Pacific. tonight, the talk was
very bitter against Murphy and Shechan.
Among the late arrivals were Hon. William
A. Beach. delegate from the Syracuse dis.
trict; Col. II. G. Monroe. of New York.
secretary of the State committee; William
s. Mackey, presidents of the National
Democracy. of Buffalo, and James A. Han
Ion. of Medina, delegate from the Thirty
first district. The latter declared that TIE
Hill fight was simply . liquor fight. aud
that the business interests of the State.
outside of that traffic. and with the inde-
pendents thrown In. were in favor or
Cleveland. Delegate Beach was bitter in
denunciation of the machine. while Colonel
Monroe declared emphatically that Muir
ply wouldn't and couldn't throw them
out.
Fuel was added to the fire at the Cleve-
land headquarters this evening, by state
ment purporting to come from the Tam
many element. TO the effect that ex-MaYor
Grace. Frederick Il. Coudert, Mayor Bishop
of Buffalo. ex-Secretary Charles 8. Fair
child and tho other delegates from the
Syracuse convention would be compelled
to cool their heels outside of the wigwam,
inasmuch as Lieuuenant-governor Sheehan
had control OF the tickets for the New York
delegation and proposed to deliver them 10
those he considered the right partres. In
response to this defiance IT was given out
that the anti-snappers had determined
to make q contest, although the plan will
not be matured until the meeting OF the
delegation which has been called for Mon
day morning. Some OF the delegates favor
an appeal to the national committee,
others are of the opinion that q regular
contest should be made before the COM
mittee on credentials. In the event. how
ever, of fair play. according to the anti
snapper idea, being refused by both of the
committees then formal petition will be
prepared for presentation to the conyen-
tion asking that two representatives of the
Syracuse convention be allowed q hearing
snt. and that the . full nsssly. body adndl, fnd,r
Massachusetts, Ohio and Wisconsin are
said to have offered their support in the
way of presenting such petition and OF
urging that It's prayer be granted. 1t would
require but majority vote to secure the
request. and the Clevelandites are conf
dent that every delegate who is counted
for the ex-President will vote to give him
hearing. Once their case regularly pre-
sented before the convention they say
there is no question as to what the decis-
ion will be.
All doubts regarding the position of the
Indiana delegation were set at rest this
afternoon by the positive statement OF
Senator Voorhees, that he would formally
place the name of Governor Isaac p. Gray
In nomination. This decision, which was
the outcome of q conference OF indlanians
at their rooms will doubtless be approved
by the full delegation. Inasmuch as the
complexion of the latter 10 sixteen for
Gray TO fourteen for Cleveland. The
friends of the ex,President from other
|. Statoe however. found 1t difficult to recon-
ciie the Gray boom with the action of the
State convention held at Indianapolis on
April Il. This body indorsed the
wise and patriotic administration of
Grover Cleveland, declared that the COM
ing campaign should be conducted OH the
upon this issue Mr. Cleveland was the logi.
cal candidate OF the Democratic party. and
while expressing confidence In Governor
Gray, lsld down the instructions that all
honorable means to secure his nomination
should be used only IN the event
OF the national convention deeming
the nomination OF Mr.. Cleveland
lnexpedient. Under these resolutions,
the Indiana Delegation is in honor
bound to remain faithful to his cause until
il il demonstrated in the convention that
he cannot be nominated. This much
demonstrated, they would be free to sup
port the favorite son of Indiana.
BRICE REVEALS THE ANTfs PROGRAMME.
Chairman Brice. In conversation. to-day,
with one of the Western delegates made
certain remarks which are construed as
revealing tho entire anti-Cleveland pro-
gramme. "Of course" he is reported TO
have said, ''iflllnois docs not cast her vote
for Palmer. the favorite sons In ell tho
States are killed. Illinois is the first
on the roll possessing favorite
son, and the other States will
follow her example. If she votes
for Cleveland. suppose he will be nomi-
mated" This remark becoming known. it
was generally understood as corroborati n x
| the statements of Bissell, Walker and
other New York Cleveland men, that Tam
/ many will endeavor to draw as many votes
as possible away from Cleveland to the
fsvorite sons. and then mite them upon
come Western man. with Flower as the
| tail of the ticket.
The Tammsny delegation received an ac-
| cession this evening In the persons of n
number of prominent New York Congress-
men. including Burke Cochran, John X.
Fellows and Amos j. Cummings. ImmedI-
| ately after their arrival Cochran had q
| talk with Chief Croker. Cochran Is sup
| posed TO have como bearing the latest in
| structions from Senator Hill, but after
| leaving Croker the Tammany Congress
| man declined to speak of their conferences. It
! il believed that it had reference TO the
| nlacinC of HilPs name hafore the conven-
