CHICAGO, June 15.-The Boies boom
hook possession OF a part of the Palmer
house yesterday afternoon. 1t was brought
In by the advance guard of the Iowa dele
CATION, consisting of l.. NJ. Martin, one of
the delegates-at-large; Edward H. Hunter,
OF the Iowa state central committee, and
DR.. E. I. Likes. The men from the Hawk
eye state enjoy the distinction of being
the first to arrive on the field of battle.
They at once opened headquarters at the
Palmer, where Boies enthusiasm was
dispensed during the entire afternoon. All
the delegates from Iowa will reach the
city Saturday morning and a meeting will
be at once held by them at headquarters.
Will shout and Pray for Boies.
"This Boies boom which we have
brought with u.s." said Mr.. Martin, "will
have decidedly healthy proportions when
1t strikes the convention. The delegates
propose to secure his nomination and they
will stick to him to the end. We shall
have 10000 OF the citizens of the state here
and there will not be man left behind in
Iowa who will not pray that Boies may
get the nomination. Governor Boies is
not making this campaign. 1t is the state
of Iowa. We wish it distinctly under
stood that we are not playing him for
second place on the ticket We would not
wish him to accept any such place. We
are selfish and il he is hot nominated for
the presidency we will keep him at home.
COureurs-Avant From Indiana.
Indiana sent two enthusiastic Cleve-
land men to the Palmer yesterday in ad-
vance of the delegation from that state.
These were B. +. Lonthlain, editor of the
Logansport Pharos, and G. l.. Vol, treas
urer of Cass county. They called upon
Secretary Sherin, of the national commit
tee, and informed him that the Indiana
delegation on its arrival Saturday would
probably meet to consider the advisability
of casting solid vote for Cleveland.
Many of the delegates will come instruct
ed for Gray, but it is thought now that
the delegation will push him for second
place.
