10 the probable outcome Mr. En-.
giish said he thought Cleveland would be-
nominated. though he would not risk the
prediction at this stage of the game. If
Cleveland and Gray were both found nm
available. he thought the Indiana deIeea-
ton would support Palmer, of Illinois.
W. A. Cullop, of Vincennes. Ind, GRAY
delegate. said: ''Gray is serious candi-
date, and will be nominated hv Senator
voorhees, on behalf OF the state of Indiana.
and Indiana Will stay with him as long as
there is a possible chance of his being
nominated" Cullop estimated Gray's
vote at thirty.
ne Gorman movement received an inn
petus this afternoon by the arrival of Sem
ator German with the party of MARYLAND
delegates. The senator fatty refused TO
discuss the political situation. He said
regarding the use of his name: Nobody
has been authorized TO say anything for
me. / cannot help what people viii saw"
Ex-Governor Brown, of Maryland, said
there was strong friendiness
for Cleveland in Maryland, but if
there was reasonable chance seen
to nominate their favoriIe son, the Mary
land people would expect the delegation
TO do its duty. but Maryland has no can
didate, and the delegates will counsel
with the Democracy of the country upon
the question of a nominee. In the mean
time it is evident that a great deal Of work
Is being done for German, chiefly, per-
haps, from the New York headquarters.
There are not enough delegates yet on
hand TO make missionary work worth the
trouble of organizing, but it seems to be
understood at the Cleveland headquarters
that either German, Boies, Morrison,
Palmer or Russell will get the necessary
help from Tammany directors TO encour-
age their supporters to- continue the fight.
Neither German nor any OF his friends
will admit that he is candidate, but the
fact remains that his name is being dis
cussed on every hand today
The uncertain attitude of the Illinois
delegation is still a subject of speculation.
and only one thing seems determined;
that is. the delegation will vote as unit
according to its instructions, but upon the
question which candidate is to receive the
vote of the state, a great difference of
opinion exists. 1t is manifest there will
be considerable dispute over the number Of
ballots Palmer is to receive before the
delegation will turn 10 another love.
Colonel w. Il. Morrison has many friends
tlemen believe an early opportunity should
be afforded Morrison to develop his latent
strength IN the South by giving him the
solid support of Illinois on the third bal
lot. AS the friends of Morrison and
Palmer have long been antagonistic, 1t is
not likely the Palmer vote viii! be willing
to vote for Morrison at all. The Illinois
delegation Will meet informally tomorrow
night TO discuss the situation.
W. +. Bissell, of Buffalo, Cleveland's
former law partner. is here hustling for
Grover. He says Cleveland is the logical
candidate in view of the nomination of
Harrison on a high tariff platform, and
that he is the strongest candidate in New
York, because he can carry the inde-
pendent vote, which is very large in that
state. He declares it is the office-holders
of New York state and city who are push
ing the candidacy of Hill.
4 formidable competitor of Adlai Il.
Stevenson, of Illinois, for temporary
chairman, has sprung up in the person of
". c. Owens, of Kentucky. who is being
backed by Henry Watterson. Stevenson
has been taking things easy. but this
morning found it necessary to go to work
for the place. The selection of Owens,
while not antagonistic to Cleveland,
would be less favorable to him than that
of General Stevenson. The principal OBJ
lection to Stevenson lies in the fact that
he was sent to congress by the Green
hackers some years ago. On the other
hand, Stevenson is personally very popu-
lar.
Ex-Secretary of the Navy Whitney, Will
lam +. Harrity, ex-Postmaster-Genera
Dickinson and other leading Democrats
held n conference this evening at the
Richelieu. No details as to the doings
were given to the press. but Mr.. Fairchild
said that since Whitney had arrived the ex-
secretary would take charge of the Cleve-
land campaign and the others act as mis-
lieutenants. Mr.. Harrity said the Penn
sylvania delegation is loyal to Gle veland,
and the solid vote will be cast for him.
but If anything should occur TO prevent
his nomination, then Pennsylvania viii
press the name of Pattson. Many lead
ing delegates declare that the con-
ference is the most important event
that has yet taken place here.
Some go to the extent of asserting en-
phaticaliy that Cleveland was the man
whose nomination all would support.
The conference was attended by Demo-
Gratis from ali parts of the country. 1t Is
understood an effort will be made to OBJ
tain from each delegate-at-large deciara-
ton of his standing on the presidential
question.
Senator McCarrew, delegate from
Brooklyn, said tonight that the delegates
from Kings county are unalterably op-
posed TO the nomination of Cleveland and
unquaihedy in favor of the nomination
OF Hill. While they do not personally
antagonize Mr.. Cleveland. they believe it
their duty to state the senti-
ments Of the Democracy of that
county as they understand it.
They think the effect Of Cleveland's s nomi-
nation would be 10 disintegrate and dis
member the Democratic party in the state
of New York. McCarrew called attention
to the fact that the Democrats of Kings
county we're especially the champions of
Cleveland in 1854 and 1SSS. and say that in
their opinion now ne could not carry the
state.
Ex-Mayor Grace, in an interview. made
careful statement Of his views on the
situation. Harrison. he said. is stronger
in New York because of his conservative
views on currency. Cleveland is the ideal
candidate TO oppose him. and is the only
man who can draw To himself the inde-
pendent vote of New York. This inde-
pendent vote. Mr.. Grace thinks, amounts
TO between 400 coo and 5000 M- Grace
thinks if Cleveland is nominated Tam
many Hall and Brooklyn will fall into
line enthusiastically.
