 CHICAGO, June 20.-A signal victory for the Cleveland forces was fought and won to-day almost without firing gun. It was battle-ground was in the Pennsylvania del- egation. The talk before the Pennsylva- nians went into caucus was that strong effort was to be made to break the unit rule in the Keystone state, and that upon the result of the fight in Pennsylvania would largely hinge the course to be pur- sued in other delegations where similar conditions existed. Rumor was current that Senator Wallace would lead the op- ponents of the unit rule. National Com" mitteeman Harrity was equally we'll un- derstood to be the probable champion of the policy of having Pennsylvania's vote bumped solidly. After the organ ization had been effected State Senator Grant Herring, one of the Cleveland delegates-at-large, threw down the gauntlet to the Wallace contingent by offering the following: Resolved, That the chairman of the Pennsylvania delega- tion be instructed to cast the whole vote of the delegation of Pennsylvania for Grover Cleveland as the nominee for pres ident of the United States until nominat- ed, or otherwise instructed. The anti unit rule men rallied quickly. John T. Lsni- han of Luzerne, close friend of Senator Wallace, promptly moved to amend by substituting the name of Governor Patti son of Pennsylvania for that of Cleveland. Committeeman Harrity, in short but forcible speech, earnestly protested against the amendment. Although the ansis had claimed about sixteen anti Cleveland votes in the delegation, scarcely a quarter of that number, when the pinch came, were ready to toe the mark. Wallace himself declined to vote either way, and the amendment was lost. The vote by which Grover Cleveland was thus guaranteed the votes of Pennsylvania stood 5S to 4, the minority consisting of Wallace and Leni- han, and the Twenty eighth district dele gates, Smoulter and Collins.
 WILL aoRMAN's NAME BE PRESENTED?
 It was still an open question this after noon whether or not MT. Gorman's name will be presented to the convention. MT. German this morning told Representative Compton of Maryland, who is his close po- litical friend and a near neighbor, that the reports, that his name would be presented were not correct. It has been said that Alabama was to lead off in the presenta- tion of MT. Germans name and be followed by other states as the roll was called. "Of course that is not true," said MT. Compton. ''If MT. Gorman's name is presented it will be by the Maryland delegation, and we have yet to decide upon our course" Senator German has been studying the situation carefully, conservatively and thoroughly and will not rashly take any step. The finding that the "feeler" put out in behalf of MT. German as candidate, around whom to rally strength enough to beat the leader and prevent his secur- ing his two-thirds on the first ballot, did not meet with reception sufficient to warrant the belief in the success of a movement in this direction, and to-day they turned towards the idol of the Iowa democrats, and Horace Boies was the name most talked of. The effect has been to give increased prominence to the Boies boom, and aid and comfort to the mana gers of the interests of the governor of the Hawkeye state. The Boies men have been working earnestly and persistently at all times in behalf of their candidate, and have unfalteringly declared their intention They have secured scattering support of MT. Boies from various sections where there was opposition to Cleveland. In the Rocky Mountain region they have hereto fore met with the best results, the south being more disposed toward candidates with whom it was better acquainted, but to-day they were cheered with the intelli- gence that the South Carolin1sns, fearful of Mr. Cleveland's strength, were willing to give seventeen votes to the Boies men. It was also reported that Mir. Brice and MT. Watterson are inclined strongly toward the Boies movement and are will luk tO ACuu 10 WudU dbSlSVnAOo chOy So1' | Senator Carlisle does not take kindly te the Boies movement, and opposition is de | veloped this evening when the Kentucky delegation meets.
 GRAY's NAME NOT TO BE PRESENTED. | One of the surprises of the day was thu statement of MT. Taggart, the committee man frem Indiana, that the thirty vote of that state would be cast for Cleveland on the first ballot, and that Governo Gray's name would not be brough before the convention by Sena tor Voorhees, or by anybody else Il have just left Senator Voorhees," sai,
