CHICAGO. June 1S.-Two booms have
blossOmed that are causing considerable
anxiety to the Cleveland leaders to-
night. They are the German boom and
the Morrison oom.and there is nc doubt
but that the friends of both these gen
tlemen are la6Oring aSsduOuSly to bring
them into the contest as compromise
candidates. German. of course, can get
the solid vote of the Maryland delega-
tiOn whenever he desires it, and it is as
Sumed that his action in opposing the
force bill in the United States senate
would cause him TO receives substantial
support from the various Southern dele
cations.
William Il. Morrison, appears to be
principally urged by delegates from
Kentucky. Arkansas and Texas, and
there is no doubt many of the Missouri
delegates would feel friendly 10 him in
tie event OF Cleveland's retirement
from tie race. The great difficulty
under Which Morrison IaborS is that his
own state, Illinois. is
PLEDGED 10 Another Candidate,
Gen. John u. Palmer. The recent llli-
nois state convention, after indOrSing.
in a general way. the administration Of
President Cleveland, declared that in
case It should become eXpedient to
come West for a candidate. the Illinois
delegation should support Gen. Palmer,
now the United States senator for the
prairie state.
And 50 il would not appear that Nor
riSOn has much chance to enter the con-
VentiOn With his Own state delegation
behind him until after Palmer shall
have been given 4 thorough opportunity
TO develop a following outside of his
own state. y majority Of the Illinois
delegation appears to be i'll favor
OF voting for Cleveland on the
first ballot and then in the event OF
the defeat OF the great New Yorker,
casting the fOrty-eight votes OF illinois
for Palmer for various successive bal
lots. After that the demand OF Nor
risen people that the great tariff le-
former be given chance would doubt
less be complied with, but the first
fealty of the delegation, following the
retirement Of Cleveland. appears to be
for Gen. John N. Palmer.
German II Serious.
German is regarded as in the field by
many of the Cleveland men. and eX-
Mayor Grace, OF New York, said that
Mr. German was serious candidate,
and was il the field against Cleveland
and everybody else. Mr.. Grace, in
speaking of the matter, said that Mr..
German came to him about a month ago
and showed him what difficult thug
it was to carry New Ork.
Nr. German asked bow much money
could lie laised in New York. Mr..
Grace replied that Cleveland WAS the
only man who could raise money there.
Mr. German. it is said, suggested that Il
million dollars would be necessary, and
TO this Mr.. Grace responded that he
thought Clevelaud's name would raise
that amount FOR tie party. The cOnyer-
sation satisfied NJ. Grace that Mr.. Cor
man would like to see the Cleveland
field cleared tor him (GOrman).
This morning letter was received by
James Il. Echeis, delegate from the
Eighth district Of Illinois. from Mr..
Morrison. which the Cleveland men are
using to keep Illinois in line for the eX-
president. 1t says:
= don't see that We can do ANYTHING ex-
cept follow out the line Of action indicated
By the proceedings Of our state convention
and let circumstances take care Of them
selves. Anything else must lead to renom-
ingtion and 4 division.
