IT rs Still CLETELAND.
The Syracuse Delegates VIII Protest But
Not Contest-Postal Changes.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. June 16.-lSpecial. J.
The talk is still that Cleveland will be nomi-
mated practically on the first ballot. The anti
Cleveland men attempted to make little
counter demonstration to-day over tile action
of the Ohio and Arkansas sCouyentions.
They said that Ohio could in

an uninstructed delegation even in the face
OF the pretty general prediction that Cleye-
land was certain Of the nomination showed
that the claim that the people are for him IS
unfouhded. This squirt amounted 10 nothing
The. o. anti-Cleyeland people are but
hghting wind-mills and talking
through their hats. In the days gossip there
came out an interesting bit Of information.
Senator Brice. before leaving Washington,
said that the delegates chosen by the Cleye-
land Convention at Syracuse had not

Is taken 20 mean that the delegates in
question will not appear at Chicago as con-
testants but will satisfy themselves by going
before the national committee. making their
protest and recitiDg their grievances. Such q

MR.. GEAhY FOR CLEVELAND.
Representative Geary. of California, left the
city to-day for Chicago. His friends think
that he may be tho Democratic candidate for
the vice-presidency. Dir. Geary is a strong
Cleveland man. His attitude towards organ
lied labor is all that Whiteaw Reds is not.
His anti-Chinese work this session has made
him particularly strong on the Pacific coast.
His friends say that his nomination will
strengthen the Democratic ticket just as that
Of Whitelaw Reid weakens the Republican.
The House will be in session only OF and
on until after the Chicago Convention. tax
ING recesses from date TO date. The House
is pretty well through with its work. The
Senate adjourned over from today until
Monday. Democratic members of the Senate
are pulling out for Chicago singly Some of
the members are doing likewise. Others
will go in punches; Representative
Mitchell. of Wisconsin, will take thirty OF bis
Democratic colleagues out ia a special car,
leaving Saturday evening. Representative
Tom Johnson, of Ohio, will take twenty with
him. leaving Saturday afternoon. The Co
lumbia Democratic Club, OF this city, which
will leave on the same evening, sixty strong,
will have about twenty Democratic members
as its guest.
Basil Gordon and Mayor Ellyson are the
gentlemen most talked of here as possible
successors of the late Senator Barbour as the
Virginia member of the national Democratic
committee.
