COLUMBUS, o., June 1.-THE anti-Cleve-
land movement has developed unexpected
strength here on the eve of the Democratic
convention, which meets here TO- morrow,
though it now seems probable that neither
side will attempt TO instruct the delega-
tiOn.
1t looks tonight as though the delegates
at-large would Oe Campbell, Brice, Ihur-
man and Neal, two Campbell and two anti
Campbell men.
Five Congressional districts elected dele
gates 10 Chicago here Tonight. Ot THESE
ten delegates, four are for Cleveland ana
six opposed TO his nomination.
The Committee on Resolutions IS com
posed Of able aud for the most part conserv-
ative men, though one memberl is General
E. b. Finley, who secured the admission
of the free silver plank in last years State
platform.
A talk with prominent members OF the
Committee tonight ELECTS an inclination 10
let the convention at Chicago next week
make most of the platform.
The platform will be short, will make
the tariff the principal issue, will Ignore
the silver question or oppose free silver,
and will endorse President Cleveland's
administration.
The anti-Cleveland men claim now to
have twenty-eight delegates elected TO
Chicago, but this is probably an eXaggera-
tion. 1t is believed that considerably more
than a majority Of Ohio's forty-siX dele
gates will vote for Cleveland.
Senator Brice arrived here this evening
and with Governor Campbell was the guest
of the jackson Club, where both made short
addresses.
There was hot fight in the meeting OF

IL was an anti-Hlil victory as both war
wick and Welty are auti-Cleveland.
