be the nominee, though he would not
risk a prediction at this stage of the game
If Cleveland and Gray were both found
he thought the Indiana dele
CATION would support Palmer of Illinois.
w. A. Cullop Of Vincennes, Gray
delegate from Indiana, said Gray was a
serious candidate and would be nomi-
mated by Senator Voorhees, on behalf of
the State of Indiana, and that Indiana
would stay with him as long as there was
a possible chance that he could be nomi-
mated. Cullop estimated Gray's vote at
thirty.
GORMAN MOVEMENT.
The German movement received an i'm
petus this afternoon by the arrival Of
Senator German with party of Mary
land delegates. The Senator fatty re-
fused to discuss the political situation.
He said, regarding the use of his name:
Nobody is authorized to say anything
for me. [ cannot help what the people
Will say"
Ex-Governor Brown of Maryland said
there was a strong friendliness for Cleve-
land in Maryland, but if reasonable
chance was seen to nominate their favor
ite son the Maryland people expect the
delegation to do its duty. But Maryland
has no candidate, and the delegates will
counsel with the Democracy of the coun-
try upon the question of nominee.
In the meantime it is evident great
deal Of work is being done for German,
chiefly, perhaps, from New York head
quarters. Not enough Of the delegations
are yet at 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 the Tammany di-
rectors to encourage their supporters to
continue the fight. Neither German nor
any friends will admit that he is a candi-
date, but the fact remains that his name
is being discussed on every hand to-day.
ATTITUDE OF THE ILLINOIS DELEGATION.
The uncertain attitude of the Illinois
delegation is still a subject of speculation,
and only one thing seems determined,
that the delegation will vote as unit ac-
cording to instructions. But upon the
ceive the vote of the State there is great
of opinion. But it is manifest
that there will be considerable dispute
over the number of ballots Palmer is TO
receive before the delegation turns to an
other love.
Colonel William r. Morrison has many
friends in the Illinois delegation, and
these gentlemen believe an early oppor-
tunity should be afforded Morrison to de-
velop latent strength in the South by Civ
ing him the solid support of Illinois on
the third or fourth ballot. AS the friends
of Morrison and Palmer have long been
it is not likely the Palmer
people will be willing to vote for Nor
rison at all. The Illinois delegation will
meet informally tomorrow night to dis
cuss the situation.
CARLISLE ON THE SCENE.
The arrival of Carlisle to-day caused
of talk that Kentucky would
present his name for President Carlisle
could not be found.
The Printers Union of this city has
issued circular calling a meeting for to-
morrow to take steps ''to prevent the
recognition of Mr.. Flower by the Ma
tional Democratic Convention and to re-
buke him for his duplicity in his treat
ment of union printers of New York
when he vetoed the State Printing house
bill, after a majority of both houses had
adopted it at the behest of the organized
craftsmen of the State"
OF LEADING DEMOCRATS.
Ex-Secretary of the Navy Whitney,
William f. Harrity, x-Postmaster-Ge GEN
eral Dickinson and other leading Demo-
Gratis had a conference this evening at the
Richelieu. No details as to their doings
were given to the press, but Mr.. Fair
child said that since Whitney had arrived
the eX-Secretary would take charge of the
Cleveland campaign and the others act
Pennsylvania delegation was loyal to
Cleveland, and a solid vote would be cast
for him, but il. anything should occur to
prevent his nomination, then Penn
sylvania VIII press the name of Pattison.
Many leading delegates declare the con-
ference to be the most important event
that has yet taken place here. Some go
to the extent of asserting emphatically
that Cleveland was man whose nomina-
tion all would support. The conference
was attended by representatives from
all parts Of the country. It is under
stood an effort viii be made TO obtain
from each delegate at once declaration
of his standing on the Presidential ques-
ton.
Senator McCarrew, a delegate from
Brooklyn, said tonight that the dele
gates from Kings County are unalterably
opposed to the nomination of Cleveland,
and unqualifiedly in favor Of the nomina-
tion of Hill. While they do not person
ally antagonize Mr.. Cleveland, they be-
lieve it their duty to state the sentiments
of the Democracy of that county as they
understand it. They think the effect of
Cleveland's nomination would be to dis
integrate and dismember the Democratic
party III the State OF New York. McCar-
rev called attention to the fact that the
Democrats of Kings County were especial
champions of Cleveland in 1884 and 1883.
and says it is their opinion now that he
could not carry the State.
Ex-Mayor Grace, in an interview,
made careful statement Of his views on
the situation. Harrison, he said, is strong
in New York, because of his conserva-
tive views on the currency. Cleveland is
the ideal candidate to oppose him, and is
the only man who can draw to himself
the independent votes of New York.
This independent vote, Mr. Grace thinks,
amounts TO between forty and fifty thou
sand. Mr.. Grace thinks if Cleveland is
nominated Tammany Hall and Brooklyn
viii fall into line enthusiastically.
Tammany VIII support the Nominee.
