CHICAGO, ILL. June 19-There are no
Sabbaths in the calendar of politics. To-
day, like the Sunday before the meeting of
| the republican convention at Minneapolis,
was as busy a day with the managers and
workers as yesterday aud tomorrow. Some
/ OF the managers went to church in the
| morning, notably the Hon. Richard Croker.
grand sachem of Tammany Hall, and 80
| did some of the delegates, but some at
Chicago, as at Minneap apolis, did not. The
mauagere were busy all day in either the
/ preliminary convention arrangements or
1 with the incoming delegates, who kept their
heutenants on the go from early morning
till late at night, half the 800 delegates
having now arrived After ali the running
to and fro and talking up and down, the
situation remains practically as it has been
4 from the first. Ex.President Cleveland is
on the point of being nominated Senator
Hill is admitted to have no chance of being
nominated and the combination which is TO
keep Mr.. Cleveland from being nominated
on the first or second ballot has not yet
been devised, much less forged.
DEVELOPMENTS OF THE DAY.
To-day's transactions were chiefly nota-
bic for the increased confidence of the
Cleveland men, for the increased discour-
agement of the anti Cleveland men, aud for
the denials and disavowels put forth by
Senators German, Brice. Carlise and others
OF the opposition to Mr. Cleveland's nomina-
ton. The increase in the confidence of the
Cleveland men, which was shared alike at
each Of the two Cleveland headquar arters,
was based partly upon the fact that as the
delegations came in last night and to-day
their estimates of Mr.. Cleveland's strength
were verified, gains, rather than losses.
being the only changes, and partly upon
the fact that all the opposition attempts to
form winning coalition. or even one which
could hold one-third of the convention away
from Mr.. Cleveland. had failed. They had
good evidence Of the desperation of the op-
position in the fact that some Of its leaders
had actually approached Mr.. Whitney with
view Of forming a combination on him in
spite Of the well-known fact that he would
not and could not take the nomination.
WORK OF THE OPPOSITION.
They know, of course. that the anti
Cleveland men were still working, as they
must work, if they are to win even tenn
porary success, to bring out dark horses on
the first ballot, and that Tammany, which
believes Col. Morrison and Gov. Flower to
be the best combination they can bring
against Mr.. Cleveland, "Gov. Flower being
here with his acquiescence and promises"
had made some impression upon their rela-
yves IN The Cook county section OF the Illi-
hos delegation. With Col. Morrison's ines
tage Of Yesterday, and Senator Palmer's
promise on his arrival here tonight, they felt
con hdent that the Illinois delegation would
ooey its instructions and cast its forty eight
votes on the first ballot for Mr.. Cleveland,
Especially as 1t is not united and could
hardly unite on either Col. Morrison or
'enator Palmer, the latter although he has
ost votes to the former, still being possessed
~ considerable influence in the delegation.
tAs the first big delegation in the list and as
hs'ructed for Mr.. Clevela d, the Illinois
ueie3atlon Is q tempting mark for Tam
talK, which is the most practical of all the
ammany propositions, with its prospect OF
tupport from the south and from New York
rnu OHIO, has not been able TO make an i'm
preston which promises to last.
AFRAID TO GET ON THE WRONG SIDE.
Ihe truth is in this case. as in the cases of
p'ler delegations containing anti-CleveIand
1en outside of the control of the Tammany
eeiegations, the belief that MIR. Cleveland is
pug to be nominated, operating with the
ueSIre TO be with the winner, fails the efforts
WIN men who would be against Mr.
SleVeland if they thought he
souId be defeated. This accounts
H for the hedging of Senators
Sormsn, Brice and Carlisle and others " no
