not be able 10 extract any comfort from the result
The state has been looked upon as being strongly
favored with Cleveland sentiment. but 1t is now
classed with the opposition Among the four dele
gates nj large 10 Chicago. Cleveland has only ono
pronounced supporter Ex-Governor Campbell. Tho

the Presidential possibilities was loudly appaudcd In
the convention, but the applause accorded also To
Whitney German and Campbell significant rs
indicating the strong ant-C lcvcland sentiment. In
the ballot for delegates Senator Br1cc who Is non
committal on the Presidency received 7Oj votes, and
GG3 were cast for Campbell. while Allen ". Ihurmai
an Uncompromising Cleveland supporter. only received
2I- and was forced 10 withdraw from the contest.

gives Cleveland from twelve 10 fifteen Of the fortysN
delegates Among the remaining delegates there are a
number who opposed cOndionally To the nonina
ton OF Cleveland. They have doubts Ia hi, ability
TO carry New York. With this doubt removed. II Il
the opinion of many that Cleveland would control half
OF the Delegation. Three dclegaie, Albert zusworh.
of Fiudny: W. +. Warwick and John G. Welty. n
Canton are the only pronounced IIl men In the list

the candidates senator Bricc IS credited with having
controlled the action Of the convention. and he Is
said 10 be engaged IN effort 10 bring about his
own nomination. II this cannot be accomplished
he viii probably support Mr.. whitney II, first and
German second choice. The sentiment Of the con
ventlon however, was apparently pronounced for
Campbell a. for Bncc. and the latter will not bc
able to dictate the course Of the delegation even
though II is strongly anti Clcycland. In casc an op
poItunty should offer Ia spring an ONO man. th"
cx Governor would probably be the whom the
majority would unite
The Cleveland admit their defeat and only claim
sixteen votes in the delegation, but they console
themselves with the statement that with the doubt
as H. the cx Presidents strength in New York dsSpatcd
he will get n majority of the delegation The oppo
siton Is not willing to admit that any condition can
arise under which Cleveland cOud secure than
sixteen votes.
