CHICAGO, June 25.--In the absence of
the crowds of badge-bedecked dripping
Democrats, who invaded the city last
Monday, the streets Friday presented "A
comparatively quiet appearance. 1t
rained Thursday night and Friday fore
noon, as it has raincd every night and
day during the convention, and as a
consequence the watersoaked flags,
banners, autographs and other decora-
tiOns Friday still dropped from the
fronts of the building in the business
district.
Deserted.
The big barn-like wigwam, too, in
which the delegates passed perhaps the
most uncomfortable hours Of their lives
still stands on the lake front, bedraggled,
steaming with moisture, the very abom
inatiOn of desOlatiOn.
But the delegates, the men who under
shelter of umbrellas and in the midst of
flashing lightning and peaing thunder
nominated Cleveland and Stevenson, are
gone. Most of them left Thursday night
for their homes,
Happy or Disgruntied,
according to the success or defeat of
the favorite son whom they had cham
pioned. They had exhausted themselves
in the excitement and enthusiasm of the
convention, and the departure was, in
consequence, comparatively quiet. Some
of the delegates decided to remain in
Chicago over night and a few did not
leave till Friday night, intending to see
more of the city than the limited leisure
of the last few days allowed and to view
the progress on the fair buildings.
Governor Gray's little army Of boom
ers went back to Indiana Friday night,
tired and Disguised. Nearly all Of them
left this city on late trains. The Gray,
Hendricks and Shields clubs, of Indian
apolis, trudged down the street to the
depot in disorganized crowds.
The Hoosiors Are Not suckers,
but they would have gone into the No
vember battle with much more conf
dence had Governor Grays aspirations
been rewarded. Hugh Dougherty, one
Of the delegates at large who was in
Charge of Mr., Grays campaign so far as
the Indiana delegation was concerned,
shook his head douhtfully 7 lgsday
night and said that the delegation would
return to Indiana and do the lest it
could for the ticket. This was practi-
cally the expression of the other Indiana
men.
The Ohio men, too. went homo Thurs
day night. Having no favorite son to

himself not a candidate-the Buckeyes
were in good humor

Many of the Iowa clubs also took
their departure Thursday night but
many remained over Friday The
Hawkeyes are not ut all dlsgruntled.
They took the defeat of Boles with
equanimity, the more SO. it is believed,
because they at no time really hoped
to nominate him. Their idea was to
put him
In Training for 1896,
and this they feel they have accom-
plishcd. They held TO their purpose
through thick and thin, and repeated
efforts to sidctrAck the Iowa Democrats
failed because every delegate and every
visitor understood and felt the import
ance of holding fast to the single pur-
pose which brought them here. Wher
they were visited by numerous delcga
tions Thursday morning and were asked
TO permit the use of Governor BOics

president it was for time difficult fol
the delegation to resist. Yet the FEELING
was that consent could not be giver
without permitting the country to be
lieve that they had not como here non
estly to present the governors name fol
first place and for no other.
Chairman Stevenson Is an entirely &C
Ceptable man to Iowa Democrats fo
second place, and would have been &C
Ceptable for first place.
State Senator Shields, chairman of tn,
Iowa delegation, said that not mal
