Assertion That He Is Not

CHICAGO, June 16.-The Democratic
national convention. it is expected, will
be able to get down to actual work i'll
shorter time than was the case at Min
neapolis. Unless delay should be occa-
stoned by numerous ballots before any
candidate secures the necessary vote, an
early adjournment sine die seems prob
able. There are very few contests re-
ported, and an organization ought to be
quickly perfected.
Intelligence this afternoon was to the
effect that the threatened Louisiana con-
test had been amicably arranged. and
that Louisiana would come here harmo-
nious. Over the New York delegation
dood deal of fuss is expected, but talk
with Democrats on the ground show
that they believe i'll uphOlding the regu-
lar convention called according to party
forms, and that while the May conven-
ton people will secure a respectful
hearing they will be unable to get seats

are known, and as each involves simply
two delegates, the credentials commit
tee is likely to have an easy time of it.

tee will hold an,.important meeting at
the Palmer house tomorrow. The
meeting will practically decide who
will be temporary chairman of the con-
vention, although no selection will be
made until Monday. The members of
the subcommittee are Henry Watterson,
chairman; Senator Brice. of Ohio; Cor
man, of Maryland, and Ransom, of
North Carolina. The late Senator Bar
bour, of West Virginia. was member
of this subcommittee. and the vacancy
will be filled by the West Virginia dele
CATION, which will elect one of its mem
berS to the place.
Every member of this committee is
opposed to the nomination of MIR. Cleve-
land, and it is doubtful if any candidate
with pronounced prO-Cleveland views
will be accorded tine honor of Temporal
rily presiding at the convention. Gov.
James E. Campbell, of Ohio, it is be-
lleved, is slated for the permanent chair
manshIp. Gov. Campbell will have the
support of Senator Brice, that gentle
man having declared peace with his old

AT LEAST A sEXTETTE.
Of Names Will be Presented at
Chicago.


CHICAGO, June 16. - The Illinois
delegation has an informal meeting
scheduled for Saturday, and on the
result of this and perhaps of an ad-
iourned meeting will largely depend
how many candidates names are pre-
sented. The Illinois folks will have to
determine whether or not Palmer S
name shall 6e presented. Gossip
is rife as to the chances
of this and of all sorts of opinions
advanced. but no positive information
is obtainable on the subject. Boies' name
will, of course. be presented, anu, TO,
gether with Cleveland. Hill, Gray. and
possibly Carlisle, at least sextette
will be entered in the race. GOrman's
name has also been mentioned. A part
of the gossip of today was to the effect
that Mr.. German would not have his
name presented provided Mr.. Cleveland
was presented, and it was added that
the bulk of tie Maryland delegation
would 90 to Cleveland with MIR. Cor
man.
The Cleveland men do not mean that
there shall be any place in town where
some of his followers may not be found.
and they will have headquarters in at
least three and perhaps more of the ho-
tells. Wherever there is a prospect of
large number of delegates stopping,
there the Cleveland men will have a
place from which to advocate their lead
er'S selection.
Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan, Richard Croker
and Richard Murphy, of New York,
registered at the Auditorium this morn
ing and opened up headquarters for
Hill. They were not talking much, but
said they were in the fight until Hill
was either nominated or defeated. The
three big New Workers seemed to have
many friends in the city, as their rooms
were crowded all morning. The regu-
lar Hill headquarters will be opened to-
morrow and Senator Hill's boom will be
launched in earnest. The Tammany
men who will be here in force tomor-
row will take charge Of the job.

The resolution was agreed to as a
