CHICAGO, juno 1z-There are many
presidential barkg tossing about on the
political sea tonight but through the
lnists and shadows the hum OF cleve-
lands hopes looms up above them all.
ltis indeed Cleveland against the field
aud the field against Cleveland. Every
body realizes that the great question Of
the convention Is "Will Cleveland
be nominated on the first ballot?"
Should the logic OF events answer this
question in the negative, the friends of
all the secondary candidates will feel
that tho lists are then open to their ia
yorites; for somehow the conviction
has gone forth that the failure OF the
ex.President to receive the nomination
on the enthusiasm OF the first ballot
means the elimination OF the great tar
III reformer from the contest. They
feel that temporary check to the
Cleveland impetuosity WILDE TO destroy
all the magic of his name, and that no
subsequent effort can possibly swell his
following to the two-thirds vote which
was wanting on the first ballot.
All this is the opinion entertained by
the delegations who havs favorite sons
10 offer, but it by no means follows that
The correctness Of this opinion is con-
ceded by the Cleveland managers. Far
from it. They maintain that while
they believe their man will be nomi-
mated on the first ballot, the tatlure to
ruceiye Prerequisite two thitSls-cn that
ballot will not be an indication OF his
subsequent defeat, for they expect linz
portant accessions from the followers
of Boies. Hill and Gray after their states
have paid the complimentary tribute
to their iavorite sons.
HERE is THE list.
The various presidential candidates,
dark horses and possibilities discussed
tonight are Cleveland, Hill aud Flower,
Of New York; Boies, Of Iowa; Palmer,
Of Illinois; Gray, Of Indiana; German,
OF Maryland; Carlisle. of Kentucky I;
Morrison, of Illinois; Campbell, OF
Ohio; Russell, Of Massachusetts, and
Pattison, OF Pennsylvania.
Cleveland, Hill, Boies, Gray and
probably Palmer and German will all
. have following on the first ballot, but
tho others figure entirely as dark horses
and CnnnFnIniHN candidates.,
The German movement, about which
so much has been said in the press, re-
ceived new impetus this afternoon by
the arrival OF Senator German, who
came to the Palmer House about s
o'clock. The senator fatty. refused to
discuss tho political situation. II do
not know anything about it." he said.
"Ihave lust arrived in the city, and |
have had no time to look over the
ground"
Your namcis being used, especially
among the southern delegates, very
freely, senator, as candidate Tor the
presidency"
you must know that cannot help
that. They should not take. my name
in vain. Nobody has authority to say
anything for me; but this is ali beside
the question. cannot help what peo-
pie will say, but can help saying any
thing myself when l have nothing to
say" 9
"Do you believe Cleveland will bO
nominatedT
81 think so. But really cannot dis.
cuss that0r any other question until l
have more iacts before me.
BETTER POSTED MAS.
Ex- Governor Brown, of Maryland,
confessed to somewhat more informa-.
ton. "There is" hs said, IA strong
irendliness for Cleveland in Maryland,
rs everybody knows, but our delega-
ton comes to Chicago uninstrurted,
and ii wo see reasonable chance to
nominate our favorite son, our people
would expect us to do our duty. AL OF
that, however, is in tho future"
IN the meantime u great deaD Of work
Is being done for German, chiefly per-
haps from tho New York headquarters.
Mr.: NJ. j. Niblack, late speaker Of tho
Indiana house Of representatives, said !:
Yes, YOU can hear German talk all
over tho place. The senatori is certainly
possibility. but tho time Is not ripe
to bring him forward yet, and | think
that his friends will probably suppress
the boom until after tho frat ballot
shall have cleared the mir and showed us
whero We stand. There are really two
parties behind tho movement. one sim
cere!y anxious 10 make Senate! Cor
. man President, the other sincerely anS-
ious that somebody else shall not be
President. II the two can combine it
will become very serious factor III the
convention, but they have not COM

Not enough delegations are yet on
