HENRY WATTERSON ELATED
Over the Action of Ohio and Arkansas-The
Gossip of the Day Sketched


Chicago, ILL.,. juno 16.-(Special) -Henry
Watterson is elateI over The
action of Ohio and Arkansas. lie be
Iieyes the delegates from both states can
be thrown against Cleveland, and right
now he is booming Ex-Governor James
Campbell of Ohio. Campbell, rs every
one knows, has no love Tor Mr.. Cleveland,
and does not believe him to be the
strongest man the democrats could noml-
nate by any means, but he has believed
that the eX-president would be the noml-
nee, and for that reason took occasion
some time ago to get on the band wagon.
The New York Chiefs.
Messrs Murphy, Croker, Shcehan and
Clark, the advance guard OF the New \ Ork
delegation, have been very quiet today.
They came i'll advance to look over the
situation in order to be posted to report
to the full delegation, which Will meet here
tomorrow night. They come To nominate
Senator Hill, and il confidence III their
cause could do it they would be successful.
MIR. Murphy, who is the chairman OF the
delegation, has given out to the Press AS
ISOLATION tonight an interview, III which he
says that, even if Mr.. Hill was not i'll the
race, the regular democracy of New York
would be against Mr.. Cleveland, because
he cannot carry New York.
Suppose, said Mr.. Croker to an Illinois
man in my presence tonight, that the
democratic party should ask Illinois to Sc
lee Il man for the democrats to nominate
for president, and the democracy of this
state should name man by the
unanimous vote of the regularly called
convention. Then, would it be the correct
thing for the democrats of the other states
to turn around and say, we will not take
the man you name, but will take another,
naming him. With Hill, New York is GER
tain to cast its vote in the democratic col
umn, but ] fear we could not carry the
state with Cleveland as the candidate"
Tho Cleveland Boomers.
The Cleveland people who are represent
ed by Mr.. tairchild, Mr.. Whitney and Don
Dickinson, on the other hand say that the
Tammany people would come into line, and
that Mr.. Cleveland would carry the state
by a larger majority than any other man
the party could nominate. They declare
there are 10000 mugWump votes in New
York which would go to Cleveland, but
would not go TO Hill and that no candidate
can be elected without these votes. These
Cleveland men have organized a regular
literary bureau, and are giving out ready
made interviews by the hundred TO any
papers that will print them. They claim
that Mr.. Cleveland already has about five
hundred and forty votes, and that he will
have no difficulty in getting the additional
ffty-eight votes needed to nominate him on
the first ballot They admit that two bal
lots are possible, but declare there can be
no more.
The Shouting Business Provided FOR.
Up to date. it has been admitted that
the enthusiasm of the convention would be
for Cleveland. Far from it. On Sunday
afternoon delegation of 100 Hill shout
ers. from New York, will reach here. They
will begin yelling for Hill from the time
they leave the train, and Will not stop until
after the nomination is made. Thus, if en-
thusasm counts for anything, it will tell in
Mr. HIS contest for the nomination
Commencing Monday, the chances are that
Chicago will be a perfect bcdlam of brass
bands and Comanche yells. The Cleye-
land people are going to bring out several
thousand yellers from New York. The
Boies boomers Will have five or six thou
sand from Iowa, aud Palmer and Bill
Morrison are attempting to muster an army
from this state. German will also be in
il among the shoutcrs About twelve hun
drcd Maryland democrats are expected to-
morrow to illuminate the atmosphere with
German yells.
