CHICAGO, June 17,-Many presidential
barks are tossing on the political sea
tonight, but thraugh the mist and shad-
ows the hull Of Cleveland's hopes looms
up ominously above all. Everybody
realizes that the great question of the
is: "Will Cleveland be
on the first ballot?" Should
this question be answered in the mega
tive, the friends of all the secondary
will feel that the lists are
then open to their favorites, for some
how the conviction has gone forth that
the failure Of the ex-president to re-
ceive the nomination on the
first ballot, means the elimination
of the great tariff reformer from the
contest. This opinion is entertained by
the delegations who have favorite sons,
but it by no means follows that the cor
rectness of this opinion is conceded by
the Cleveland managers. They main.
tain, however, that while they believe
their man will be nominated on the first
ballot, failure to receive the requisite
two-thirds then will not be. an indica-
tion of his subsequent defeat, for they
expect important accessions from the
followers of Boies, Hill and Gray after
they have paid complimentary tribute
to their favorite sons.
THE VARIOUS CANDIDATES.
The various presidential candidates.
dark horses and possibilities discussed
tonight are Cleveland, Hill and Flower,
of New York; Boies, of Iowa Palmer, Of
Illinois; German, OF Maryland Carlisle,
of Kentucky; Morrison, OF Illinois
Campbell, Of Ohio; Russell, Of Massa-
chusetts; Gray, Of Indiana, and Patti
have following on the first ballot, but
the others figure entirely as dark horses
and compromise candidates.
SYRACUSE DELEGATES STIRRED UP.
The delegates from the Syracuse con
yention are . good deal stirred " .oxs1
the Murphy nanifesto, anS1h numhH d
them have prepared respouaas designed
to c6unteract the effects, and show that
Cleveland is not only the strongest man
in the Democratic party in New York,
but that he could carry that state, and
would get large numbers Of Independent
and Republican votes which no other
Democrat could.
Among the anti-snap delegates today,
Edward B. Whitney OF Brooklyn said Of
Murphy: "He is 9 man who will be
treacherous to nybody, and there is no
use trying to humor him in the nomi-
nation, because he will not know until
election day whether he will be true OF
false. Every other Democrat in the
state of New York will vote for Cleve-
land, if nominated. For that reason,
though there may be Democrats whom
would personally prefer to Cleveland
for the presidential nomination, doubt
not that he is by far the most available
for the state of New York."
HILL MEN IN HIGH HOPE.
The Hill leaders appear to have re-
ceived renewed hopes from the events oi
the past few days, and are working en-
SPECIFICALLY for their candidate, with the
apparent conviction of success to crown
their efforts. The unusual spectacle OF
the son Of presidential candidate u
WORKING AGAINST HIS FATHER
was Witnessed today in the New York
delegation. Louis ]. Palmer of Illinois
entered Hill headquarters, and being
presented to Mr.. Croker, said:
II called upon you to tell you that
am Hill man. If my father had beer
an active candidate should have beer
for him and done all could in the west
but as he has practically withdraw
and declares for Cleveland, that leaves
me free to follow my own judgment
I am emphaticallv opposed tt
the denomination of Cleveland
and think the majority of ths
people of Wyoming agree with me-
When he became president he filed the
state with carpet -baggers and gave al
the offices to people from outside. Har'
rison has done just the contrary, anl
made himself so strong in the state that
if Cleveland is nominated it will be use
less for the Democrats to put up STATE

Croker. "We have nothing agains
Cleveland, only the Democrats Of New
York do not want him. The nomins
