BOies--Hill Men Working Quietly.
CHICAGO, June 16. Having removed
all its wet and discolored convention
drapery, Minneapolis has now settled
down to its regular business Of making
-four Per contra, Chicago has already
donned its first streamer and flag in
honor of the coming Democratic Con-
venuion. The rear guard of the Repub-
licau Convention has struck camp and
gone home hoarse and happy. The
Democratic advance guard is here
boasCful and enthusiastic. The scene of
political activity has been transferred
from ST. Anthonys Falls to the Lake
front
Senator Vest of Missouri arrived here
last night He was seen by a reporter,
who asked him to define his position,
in view of the current rumor that the
Missouri Senator had withdrawn his
support from Mr.. Cleveland as Presi-
Dental candidate, Mr. Vest said:
IL am not in Chicago on political
business nor do propose to attend the
convention, but l am a Democrat, and
/ want to see my party nominate
Democrat who can be elected. For that
reason, and in view of this talk, au-
thorize you to say that l am apprehen-
sive that MIR. Cleveland cannot carry
the State of New York. This most un-
fortunate and unnatural fight in our
party in that State makes me fear we
will lose it unless we go outside for a
candidate
81 have felt this apprehension ever
since l understood how deep and bitter
was the feeling between the two sections
of the organizations, and l speak of it
now because the time has come when
l feel that the Democratic party has
the right to ask an expression of opin.
ion from every Democrat. My feeling
toward Mr.. Cleveland has not changed.
l regard him now with the same con-
fdeDce and friendship that have ever
felt, but l doubt his power to carry
| his State"
The National Committee holds con-
ference tomorrow with the local Com
N ttee on Arran gements and will finish
| up all the odds and ends of business be-
tween the National and local bodies
A fun attendance of the committee is
| expected. If Mr.. Brice does not arrive
he will probably be the only absentee.
| One vacancy exists on the committee,
owing to the death of G. A. Broadwater,
of Montana. That vacancy will be filled,
but it is not known at present who will
be the man,
The Boies boom, although Of no great
dimensions as yet, shows good staying
powers and may assume promising pro-
portions.
On the first ballot the friends of Gov.
Boies declare that he will have at least
| 80 votes and that these will be added to
! .s,,11- 81
| According to the members of the adj
vance guard, fully 10000 Iowans will
arrive in Chicago next week to shout
for their Governor. All the delegates
from Iowa will reach the city Saturday
morning, and meeting will be at once
held by them at headquarters.
Col. John Tracy, who is at the Grand
Pacific, expects Col. Robert Monroe, sec
retary of the New York Cleveland dele
cation, to reach the city this evening,
and ex-Mayor Grace and ex-Secretary of
the Treasury Fairchild tomorrow.
The main body of the CLEVELAND men,
900 strong, will arrive at the Grand Pa
citc on Saturday next.
There is talk of a coalition of the

prevent the nomination of Cleveland.

probably be cast Tor Palmer on the first
two ballots Then Morrison may com e
in for some support.

{ Sc o a of ha
boom The Hill men, several hundred
strong will be here by Saturday.
What plan of campaign the Hill
boomers will adopt after reaching here
is subject of much conjecture. The
New York Senator has some shrewd and
able leaders conducting his fight, and
that they will put forward some original
tactics is generally believed.
! HIPS friends do not seem to believe
in too much boast as availing, but are
working secretly, saving wood and say
ing nothing, and it would not surprise
some of those here if their strength has
! not been moderated.
Cleveland headquarters have been
opened at the Grand Pacific Hotel
