the presidential ambition of Indiana's
favorite son. So it seems that the Sc
lection of Mr.. Gray as means Of in
surfing the electoral vote Of that State
for the Democratic ticket might not
after all condnce with any certainty to
the result which is hoped to be attain
ed, and the discussion Of this peculiar
situation in the Hoosier State has caus-
the entire question to be opened up
again.
Mr.. wATTERsoN FLoPs.
Generous. true-hearted but cratic
Henry Watterson jumped headfore-
most into the Cleveland column yes
terday morning. 1t question even
now whether be got in out Of the wet
by the skin Of his teeth, 49,
Kentucky followed the lead of Indi-
ana and Illinois, and the 30 votes of
of the Blue Grass State will be cast
solidly for Grover Cleveland. This
result was reached at an intensely ex-
citing meeting of the delegation in its
headquarters at the Palmer House, at
which Henry Watterson made one Of
his characteristic speeches, IN which
he said that from now henceforth he
was forGroverC Cleveland and hehoped
the Blue Grass State would be in line
when the man of destiny was nominal
ed. Mr.. Watterson said he saw yes
terday that the nomination Of Mr..
Cleveland was inevitable. All his
labors in opposition to Mr.. Cleveland
had been done from the sincere desire
10 see a winner named, and he had up
to within a short time ago been con-
WINGED that it would be madness to
urge Mr., Cleveland's nomination in
the face of the fact that a yawning
grave would be prepared for him by
his enemies in New York. Mr.. Wat
terson said he counted himself one Of
the truest friends Grover Cleveland
ever had, and it had been to save him
from what he thought was sure defeat
that he championed the cause ola man
who would not be marked for slaughter
in the Empire State. But the last
thilty-six hours had worked wonder.
| full change; the magic of the ex-Presi.
dents name had even cast its spell
about that solid phalanx Of cpposi.
in New York, and the leaders there
were retreatng sullenly, but backing
/ out of their opposition.
1 Nh Watterson then eulogized Mr.
Whitney, to whom he credited the
wonderful campaign made by that
gentleman in Mr. Cleveland interest
and be believed that in the end New
/ York would be brought into line for thu
nominee and the solidyote of the grand
old Empire State would becast for Mr.
4 Cleveland.

4 work for Mr. Cleveland's nomination, =
said Nh. Watterson.
i EVEN TAaIMASY.
i An interesting situation is develop
ling N the Tamnany delegation to

arisen among the leaders as to thu
Tisest policy for Tammany to pursu,
in view OF the overwhelming senti

eonvention in favor of the nomination
of ex-President Cleveland. Richard
j Croker Is reported as having taken 4
positive position in favor of friendly
understanding with the Cleveland lead
