 good work that will show for itself" But Mir. Murphy's courage did not extend to his followers. Senator Ahern, of New York, a member of Tammany, said: What's the use of talking. We have fought hard and we are beaten, and we might as well admit it. The up state New Workers were chased up by the opposition and compelled by their leaders to fall in line. That is why no figure will be given out here until the first ballot is taken for candidates"
 Illinois Is for Cleveland?
 'nlinois will cast her forty-eight votes for Ex-President Cleveland on the first bal lot" This is the. statement given out by the Cleveland adherents. The credit of bringing the delegation into line If it has been done) belongs exclusively to General John NJ. Palmer Although fatigued by his journey from Washington, he proceeded immediately to the Sherman House upon his arrival just before midnight, and for over three hours was in consultation with delegates representing all the various ele- ments in the delegation. What the yener- able senator said was largely a repetition of the views he had expressed to the United Press while en roSte-that his name was in no circumstances to be considered, and that If the delegation did its duty it would vote solidly for the ex-president.
 General Palmer strongly urged his friends not to make personal fight against Senator Hill "There is no necessity" says General Palmer, 'tfor making this a campaign of vituperation, and those who are indulging in it have little, if any, knowledge of the clean and courteous personal characteristics which belong to Senator Hill"
 According to Senator Shields it is calcu- lated that if the German strength can be swung to Boies he will receive about 150 votes on the first ballot.
 Soon after the news of the alleged Brice- Watterson deal was announced the friends of Governor Boies paraded the streets and made great show. They were apparently nearly thousand strong and marched in five divisions, each preceded by brass band. The appearance of the bulk of the men differed greatly from the ordinary run of political processions. They were evi- dently hard working men, taken from the farms and country stores, dressed in their homely clothing and slouch hats, and their visit to national convention was evidently notable event in the lives of most of them. Considerable cheering for Boies accom- panied the line of march.
 Abbett to Nominate Cleveland.
 Leon Abbett, of New Jersey, is expected to present the name of Grover Cleveland. Indiana will second the ns me through Sen ator Voorhees. Hon. Patrick Collins, of Massachusetts, may make some remarks in dorsing the nomination. Mir Collins de- clined to make the nominating speech on the ground that Massachusetts had never hor-a ala,f nfa fn.- hn fs party and that Mir. Cleveland was resi-. dent of New Jersey.
 William c. Dewitt, Of Brooklyn will pre-. sent the name of David B. Hill. It will be the third name presented. The first pre- sentation will be that of Horace Boies, of Iowa, through Hon. J. F. Duncombe, oi Fort Dodge, who will name her fayorite son. From present indications only three names will be presented to the convention
 Adlai E. Stevenson, of Illinois, is willing to take the second place on the ticket with Cleveland. He said so in the Palmer House where he was surrounded by a group oi friends, who were congratulating him or the possibility of being named. II am very much fiattered by the compliment paid mt by my friends" said he. "Jt is very grati flying, but don't know that there is pros pect of its being true"
 Think It Means Cleveland. It is now known that the delegation iron | Illinois admitted from the start from botl | sides to be pivotal one, will cast its X | votes as unit on the first ballot for Grover | Cleveland. In the opinion of the leaders o | the ex-president's candidacy, as expressed both before and after the caucus of the delegation, this action finally settles tn, | question of his nomination.
