CHICAGO, June 1s.-The opening Of con-
vention week will find the line of battle
closely drawn and every candidate seem
ingly assured of the exact strength with
which he will enter the contest. The chief
uncertainty will be as to the action of nli-
nois, Indiana and Kentucky. Should these
states cast their solid support for Glove
land on the first ballot, there is little doubt
but be wonld receive the requisite number
Of votes, but should these states cast their
full strength for favorite sons the uroba-
bilities of Cleveland's nomination on the
opening ballot will be very remote indeed.
Congressman Springer of illinois is urg-
ing in the interest of expediency that the
Illinois delegation
VOTE FOR JOHN n PALMER
on the first ballot and continue on behalf
Of the Illinois leader until a nomination il
reached.
Henry Watterson is understood to be
la6oring with the Kentucky delegation in
efforts to secure the solid vote of that state
for Carlisle, and Senator Voorhees, OF
Indiana is making like demand from the
Hoosler state in behalf of Quay.
1t IS reported tonight thai the prominent
Democratic leaders of these three states
are enOeaVorlng TO arrange
CONFERENCE OF DELEGATES
at which it win be mutually agreed that
the nominationsof Cleveland is insxpedient
and the l04 votes which he might other
wise receive from these states be- dis
triouted among their favorite sons. The
delegation from these three states IRE
practically free to act as they please IN an
emergency and the great question is
WILL THEY ABANDON cLEvELALD
in the interest Of their western candidates.
Conferences OF Indiana delegates during
this afternoon indicate that Gray cannot
possibly secure the unanimous vote OF the
state on tie first ballot or indeed until
Cleveland has practically retired from the
race. 1t appears that Cleveland has about
twelve delegates in Indiana. who will vote
for the ex-president from the beginning
and despite the great effort made to induce
them to go to other Democrats they show
no signs of weakening.
TIE GREAT MYSTERY
surrounds the Kentucky delegation. The
tactic replies Of Henry Watterson 10 all
inquiries affords but little information of
what he will do and Carlisle will not ex
press an opinion. There is 10 doubt with
Carlisle out of the race fully one-haIf of
the Kentucky delegation favor Cleveland
80 -AS At-eu WIZ OSilofo II Tue IOrtY-
eight votes of illinois were cast for Cleve-
land, that it would result
IN SUCH ENTHUSIASM
as to effect the nomination For thia
reason, every resource known to modern
politics is being brought to bear by dir
ferent factions to control the influence Of
the delegations.
