The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1892-06-20


The opponents of the ex> President are to-
night preparing for one final herculean
effort to muster from all the ODD sition a
phalanx OF delegates to stand out and pre-
vent Mr.. Cleveland receiving the requisite
two-thirds vote on the frs ballot. They
are somehow lmbued with the conviction,
and this conviction is rather Ken-
70 receive the nomination in the
enthusiasm OF the opening ballot, he will,
ON the succeeding ballots, show losses in
stead OF gains, and that disintegration Of
MS forces will be only a question Of time.
But the day has shown thai the Cleveland
forces are swelling rather than diminishing,
and tonight the rank and file Of the Clever
land forces are rejecting with disdain the
counsel Of those conservative leaders
VINO warn them against possible defeat In
nomina ing Mr.. Cleveland In the face of
Tammany, and reply by avowing that the
ex-Fresdent is the candidate OF the nation
and that his destiny Is out of the way of
| any particular state or faction.
BLOWS OF FREQUENT OCCURRENCE.
Violent alterations are frequent OCCUR
rences in the lobbies of the leading hotels
and the enthusiasm of the hour is with Mr..
Cleveland. The Tammany men who have
80 constantly warned democrats that the
nomination OF Mr.. Cleveland means the
| loss Of the electoral vote of New York in
| November are waved majesticaly away by
| the Cleveland enthusiasts, who declare that
the great exponent Of tariff reform can be
electsd, If ue must, without the electoral
vote OF the Empire state and so, in the
| impetuosity Of the Cleveland movement,
those wavering delegates who have been
| Inclined to desert the ex-President and go
| for compromise candidate on the ground
| or party expedieuoY have been won back
to their first love. and tonight the names
OF Senator Gorman, and ex-Representative
| morrison, and ex-Gov. Campbell and Gov.
| Russell, which were so frequently discussed
day or two ogo as dark horses TO come
into the political filed as inherltors of the
great New y ork leaders, are scarcely men,
| TONED In the political predictions.
THREE-sIDED FIGHT.
The only avowed presidential candidates
| in the field Tonight are Mr.. Cleveland Sem
ator Hill and Gov. Boies, and the situation
is cleared up to the extent of indicating
| plainly to all that dark horses are not to be
ushered into the political arena unless Mr..
| Cleveland shall fail of the nomination
| the first ballet
The Illinois delegation under the direction
OF Gen. John M Palmer, the presidential can
| dldate OF the Prairie state will vots for MIR.
| Cleveland on the first ballot and probably
on various succeeding ballots, so long as the
ex-President shall be in the race. This an
nocnoement, which is unoffically made
| from the Illinois headquarters to-day, has
| given great impetus TO the CIeve-
| land movement, and the leaders OF the ex-
President are asserting with great conf
| denoe that they have now assurances of the
two-thirds vote requisite for his nomination.
INDIANA DIVIDED.
Indiana has given unmistakabIe evidence
that its delegation will not act as a unit
and that ex-Gov. Gray will hardly receive
more than II to Is votes from that state,
| the remaining II to 13 being cast for Mr..
Cleveland,
Ex-Gov. Campbell has taken particular
| pains to announce that under no circum-
stances will he allow his name TO enter the
| list OF presidential candidates. The Cleve~
land men are relying implicitly upon 13
| votes Ohio being cast for ths great tariff
| reform leader SO that from Illinois, In
diana and Ohio alone there seems assured
for Mr.. Cleveland over 70 votes which yes
terday appeared to be wavering.
Kentucky, the other doubtful state, still
looms up as an uncertain factor in every
estimate. The power of Henry Watterson
seems to be having influence on that dele
cation, and while many of its members are
very friendly to Mr.. Cleveland, the constant
friends of the ex-President are not yet rely
ing implicitly upon very substantial sup
port from the Blue Grass stat7.
Iowa is still true to Gov, Boies, 30 loyal
indeed, that even the most sanguine Of the
Clevelanders have abandoned hopes of re-
ceiving any support from the Hawkeye
state In the great preliminary battle of the
first ballot.
NEW YORK's VOTE.
The seventy-two votes of New York are
conceded to Senator Hill, and it appea
probable that he may receive a couple of
hundred more from various sections or the
union. Cleveland people are no longer
indulging in any hope that the Hill
man gers will magnanimously recede from
tnelr past position and accede to the nomin-
alton Of Mr.. Cleveland, but are now using
every effort TO plasate the Tammany
leaders 90 induce their loyal support
of the ticket in the event of Mr.
Cleveland's nomination. There is manifest
one slight change In the disposition Of the
Tammany leaders They are no longer
talking so loudly and so continuously of the |
hopelessness of carrying New York for Mr.. |
Cleveland In the event Of his nomination, !
and, although no one doubts their intention |
to loyalty support him 10 the end, ex-Sec- |
rotary Whitney and others tonight ex- |
press belief that, in the event OF Mr.. |
Cleveland's nomination, Tammany will &C |
quiesce in the inevita BILE and give the ticket |
vigorous and effective support.
GoRMAN's BOOM FROsT-BIrTRN.
The German boom budded prematurely |
and has been nipped by the eirly frost Of |
adverse criticism. The Cleveland people Of |
the south, who are loyalty and earnestly |
for the ex-PresidenJ rather resented the in
slnuation that Senator Gorman's past oppo-
sition to the force bill was destined
to attract to his standard the Cleve-
land people of the south and the
result Of the two days campaign of the
senator's sec ct workers has not shown a
score Of outspoken German delegates in the
whole south outside of the senator's own
state of Maryland. The senator himself
emphatically denies his candidacy, and says
the vote Of Maryland will be cast for MIR.
Cleveland.
ILLINOIS FOR CLEVELAND.
There has been marked subudence, too,
in the Morrison boom, which caused such
flutterinG among the southern and western
delegates yesterday. The friends OF the
great ex-leader of the House Of Re Jresenta-
tlves maintain to-day that 1t is the desire of
Mr.. Morrison that the llliYois delegation
should support Mr. Cleveland Loyalty as
long as there is a probability of his nomi-
nation and as Senator Palmer, to whom
the Illinois delegation is committed, is
urging the very same thing there |
seems no likelihood that Illinois vote will be
cast for either OF these favorite sons on the
first ballot. Indeed the IS votes of Illinois
have been shifted from the doubtful TO the
Cleveland column in every conservative es-
innate to-day d the Prairie state has been
most potential IN turning the tide for Mr.,
Cleveland just at this juncture.
