CHICAGO. June 15-As the date Of the demo-
cratic national convention approaches the
virtues Of the several candidates are being dis
cussed by their friends. The hotels are receiv-
ing the advance guard Of the army of states
men who will make Chicago their home next
week. Chairman Brice may be here on Friday.
The national committee holds a conference on
Friday with the local committee on orange
ments and will finish up all the odds and ends
OF business between the national and local
bodies. full attendance Of the committee is
expected. If Mr.. Brice does not arrive he will
probably be the only absentee. One vacancy
exists on the committee owing to the death Of
@. A. Broadwater Of Montana. This vacancy
will be filed, but it is not known at present
who will be the man.
THE BoIEs BOOM,
The Boies boom, although Of no great dimen-
sions as yet, shows good staying powers, and
may assume promising proportions.
On the first ballot the friends Of Gov. Boies
declare that he will have at least eighty votes.

Will be cast sohdly for the governor, through
thick and thin, with added material support
from South Carolina, Florida, South Dakota,
Missouri, Kentucky and Nebraska. After the
first ballot, however, II the two-thirds rule is
adopted. if they feel sure that no nomination

Iowa s demands are for Gov. Boies," said

"because they feel that he is the only available
candidate so far presented. He Is the only
candidate who will have behind him the undi-
vided support of his own state. Gov. Boies will
be nominated before the convention by Mr..
John +. Duncomb of Fort Dodge, general
counsel in Iowa for the Illinois Central. We
wish it understood that his name is not being
pushed in order to make him available for the
vice presidency. Under no circumstances
would he accept such a nomination. The NOM
ination Of Benz. Harrison by the republicans
makes it necessary for the democracy to care
fully consider before they nominate a man
whom Harrison defeated four years ago. Gov.
Boies is emphatically vote getter. He will
pole more votes than any candidate who is,
rightfully or wrongfully, involved in fac tional
contest. Gov. Boise is safe and available. He
ought to be nominated because he can be
elected and that is why the democrats of Iowa
are urging his name"
According to the members Of the advance
guard fully 10000 Iowans will arrive in Chicago
next week to shout for their governor. Perma-
nent headquarters for the state will be opened
in rooms 81 and 80 at the Palmer House. Sem
ator J. H. Shields is expected to arrive this
evening. All the delegates from Iowa will
reach the city. Saturday morning and meeting
will be at once called at headquarters

expects Col. Robert G. Monroe, secretary of
the New York Cleveland delegation to reach

ex-Secretary of the Treasury Fairchilds to-

The Great Northern Hotel, which opened
yesterday, will be headquarters by Sunday for
the Cleveland Club Of Buffalo with 225 men;
the Young Mems Democratic Club Of Philadel-
phia, with $50 men, and the Young Mems Dem
ocratic Club Of Kansas City, with ITS.
PALMER AND MORRISON.
There is talk of coalition of the Palmer
Morrison forces in this state to prevent the
nomination of Cleveland. The vote, it is said,
will probably be cast for Palmer on the first
two ballots, then Morrison may come in for
some support.

Cleveland is out Of the question. Flower is
not big enough for President, though if New
York presents him we NAV vote for him.
There are a number Of favorite sons, Gray Of
Indiana, Pattison Of Pennsylvania, Boies Of
Iowa, Carlisle Of Kentucky, Russell of Massa-
chusetts. Gray of Delaware is also mentioned
PattisOn and Russell are the most promising Of
the lot, and events could arise which would
give victory to one or the other. The adoption
OF either by New York would settle it, II an
eastern man is chosen for President then Gray

The Illinois delegati, IN will have a meeting
Saturday, when severn matters will be settled
Congressman r. X. Cable will be named for the
national committee. A. Z. Stevenson may be
named to head the delegation, though an effort

statesman. They will be reinforced soon by
Congressman Forman Owen Scott and other
