The tone Of the political talk 20 be hoard
about the House TODAY not rampantty

Even enthusiastic Cleveland men were not
claiming that the ex-Presiden; would he nomi-

view that there would be a prolonged and heated
fight.
WHAT CAUSED rKE csASox
The change in sentiment among members OF
the House doubt largely lue 90 the re
tult in Ohio yesterday. II was felt that the
Cleveland men there had got decidedly the
worst Of it. Certainly they hid no; made
good the claims they made bcforo the convention
and not even got n much ne the opposition had
been inclined TO conoede them. IL Will be
membered that in the table of votes on the first
ballot at Chicago given out BY friends Of Son
ator Hill recently Cleveland Was con-
votes. Today il s said in Cleveland
quarters that only i6 Of the OHIO delegates are
known TO be reliable Cleveland men. At the

as for auv ono else. Indeed. Cleveland men

from OHIO that the do as 60 siniar delegates
from other states that they are more apt 10 go
TO Cleveland than 90 any one else when they
reach Chicago and find an overwhelming senu-
ment there for the eN-prerident.
THE FAvoRIrE SON MOVEMENT
Another circums lance which has exercised q

leaders 10 get the various state delega-
tions 10 take up their "fayorite sons and
cast their votes for them in the
first ballot. How far this movement Is going 20
be successful finally cannot, Of course. now be
told; but there are indications that IL may alb
sorb considerable number 81 Cleveland votes
on the first ballot. thus causing Cleyelands
