THE HEgALD.J-I fought my WY
through the dense mass Of poll
ticiaRs that struggled on the great
marble floor of the Palmer house today
and asked . man in what direction were
the Cleveland headquarters. He yelled:
THEY ARE EVERYWHERE"
This tells in nutshell what the feeling
is in Chicago today-it is Cleveland and
only Cleveland that fills the air
Hills forces are encountered hero and
there fighting with an energy and despera-
ton that even their opponents regard as
admirable. Tho Boies men are not less
active but are fewer.
One incident serves to illustrate the
general trend. just as the Utah delega-
ton entered the lobby of the Palmer house
this morning, some one hung over the bal
cony overhead a large picture OF Hill.
There was silence Tor moment and then
SOME ONE STARTED A HISS.
1t was Immediately taken up by fifty pair
Of lips and tongues. Then some one cried,
"Hurraa for Cleveland and the hotel was
rent with tremendous shout Immediately
afterward the picture was removed.
The Utah members had brief talk With
the noted tammany chiefs, Richard Croker,
Lieutenant Governor Sheehan Of New
York and Edward f. Murphy, chairman OF
the New orkstate Democratic committee.
They are at the Auditorium from whence
the word with the bark on goes forth to
the swarm OF Hill WORKERS and tammauy
men that throng the city.
TIE TAMMANY cHIEFTAIvs.
spoke Of little else than Hill and Cleve-
land. Tney claim most positively that
Cleveland cannot carry New York, though
stating that Tammany VIII support him
should he be nominated But they pretend
to scout the idea that such thing is posi-
bic, though whether they altered their
views when they heard Of the Palmer
house episode have no means OF knowing.
All indications point to the ticket as being
CLEVELAND AND GRAY.
Gray's name for second place seems to
evoke almost as widespread approval as
Cleveland's for first. Perhaps Boies
might run him close race, but as a num-
Der of Iowa men told the u tab people to-
day, Boies IS only up for first place and if
ne doesn't get that, he will not run for the
other.

Der of the national COMMITTEES now on the
ground is not well posted on Utah affairs,
it is not the fault of the U tab contingent
The delegation had brief conversation
with Brice, who seems well posted on the
status of the fight the Utah Democrats are
waging.
Those of the national committee who are
here held two hours meeting today in the
Palmer house parlor, but nothing of inter
est to relate was considered. German and
Watterson were both present and as they
emerged from the parlors were the re-
ceipients of as much

as if they were already presidents Of the
United States, instead Of possible dark
horses. Watterson lectures in the Audi
forum hall Monday night, AMI there is the
liveliest kind Of interest. as it is expected
he will say something bitter about Cleve-
land
Judge Henderson has had long inter-
view with Don NJ. Dickinson, who arrived
from Michigan tonight.
All the Utah people were entertained at
lunch today by the Iroquois club. the great
Democratic association Of Chicago.
Colonel Murrin, who was once in bust
ness in Salt Lake and strong Democratic

that the full number of tickets Utah viii
receive, both delegates and national com
mittee men, will not exceed twenty at the
outside, hence it is easy to see that the
great majority of the several hundred
Utah people now on their way to Chicago
are doomed to disappointment
The Tuscaroras were due at the Palmer
house at noon today, but up to 6 o'clock
they had not arrived. A dispatch in an
evening paper states that they are delayed
in g breakdown or wasnout.
