CHICAGO, June 10. : The bottom
dropped out of the German boom today
and among the delegations which yes
terday seemed disposed to give ut least
some OF their votes to the Marylander
nothing was talked OF today but Cleve-
land. One reason for this is the fact
that Tammany has called off all OF its
workers and Is lying completely quies.
cont, having done nothing whatever all
day long. The German movement,
which would naturally have been con-
fined to Maryland. was pushed in other
delegations by Tammany's eYangels,
and the fact that Tammany has ap-
parently ceased fighting is nowhere
more evident than in the sudden col
lapse OF the favorite sons who were
talked OF SO much OH Saturday.
In Arkansas, whore German was to
have had two votes, he will now have
none, according to Judge Rose, OF that
state, who says that all the ballots will
go to Cleveland.
DAVIS GIVES up GoRMAN.
Ex-senator Davis, Gorman's cousin,
ON Friday said that several of West vir.
ginia's ballots would go to his kins-
man. To-day he says that the whole
vote will be for Cleveland. In Georgia
it was understood that there were a
couple OF German votes, but to-day
they cannot be found. The same may
be said of tho southern delegations gen
orally. Visits were made to the Missis.
sippi, North Carolina, kentucky and
Tennessee delegations, in each Of which
it was expected that Germans strength
would develop, but in enCh case 1t was
stated that Mr.. German was understood
not TO be candidate, and, while the
friendliest feelings were entertained for
him, he would not be seriously consid-
cred until after the first ballot had
demonstrated whether or not MIR.
Cleveland was to be nominated.
GoRtAN,s POSITION.
This is Senator Germans own posi-
ton. He said to-day: "Why do you
persist in regarding me as candidatef
/ am not can didate. Maryland is for
Cleveland. 1t has no other name to
bring before the convention. All this
talk about mo is misleading and unau-
thorized."
VIC. Whitney, CleveIand's shrewdest
manager, it is stated, was sent to
Chicago to smooth over the acerbities
of tho campaign as far as it could be
done. He is OF course the Cleveland
leader. and the Cleveland caucuses are
hold chiefly in his rooms at the
Richelieu, but he is also frequently to
be seen in conference with Croker,
Murphy and the other Tammany
leaders. The old politicians on the
ground give him all the credit for the
complete change OF tone by Tammany
so valuable in the last twenty-four
hours. He himself is very reticient.
"You can say that Cleveland will be
nominated on the first ballot, and |
should fancy that ought 70 be state
ment enough" he said. II know
nothing about the councils or purposes
of Tammany; but l do know that it is a
Democratic organization, and that 1t is
entitled TO fair and patient hearing.
Nothing can be lost by courtesy"
The trade which 1t Is said was fixed
up with Tammany by Mr.. Whitney and
the Cleveland managers simply looked
to the suppression Of the anti.conven-
ton debate. The Hill delegation will,
