CLEVELAND LEADERS CONFIDENT.

They Believe He win Win on the First
Ballot.
CHICAGO. June 19-Don NJ. Dickinson,
Mr.. Cleveland's late Postmaster General.
was about the Cleveland headquarters t.
day wearing a smile and light gray suit Of
clothes.
He is one Of the strong Cleveland boom
ers, and the Michigan delegation, Of which
he Is chairman. will vote first, last and all
the time for Mr. Cleveland, or for so long
as Mr. Dickinson thinks it expedient, BE
said 10 me to-day that the nomination Of
Cleveland was certain, that he would get
tw0-thirds of the votes and some to spare
on the first ballot, aud that his election
would follow as a matter Of course next
November.
Mr. Dickinson's views are no brighter
than those held by w. {. Whitney, who
cane to the headquarters early in the morn
ing, arm in arm with the Michigan states
man.
"Mr. CleYelands nomination Is as certain
as anything can be in American politics, E"
said Mr.. Dickinson. He will get it on the
first ballot, despite the opposition of Mr.
Hills friends, and ! should not be sur
priSed il some OF these men whose names
have been mentioned as possibilities would
not be presented to the convention at all.
We know exactly how the land lies, and
are not pursuing any will-o'-the- -wisp in this
fight. Our forces are we'll organized, and
we hold conferences every day, at which
reports are given to US regarding the situa-
tion. l cannot give you Mr.. Cleveland S
exact vote on the first ballot but of this
am certain. it will exceed the required 599.
Our headquarters here have been visited
to-day by number Of prominent delegates
and politicians, ali Of whom agree as to the
certainty OF Mr.. CleVeland's success"
"Mr. Cleyeland's victory is certain. -
added ex-Secretary Whitney. But l am
too busy to-day TO tellyOu how we are going
to win. l have been engaged all day shak-
ing hands with delegates who have come in
to assure US that they will vote for Cleve-
land. he will be nominated if IL takes from
now until the morning of election day, but l
have not had time to get any late figures or
what the first ballot will be-" And Mr.
Whitney walked over to where a party Of
Georgia delegates were standing put on a
pleasant smile and shook hands with them
as though lie himself was one Of the COM
mon people.

carefully revising their list, that they have
at least 800 delegates who will vote for
Grover Cleveland. If this estimate was
challenged they would say that they were
positive OF 800 votes solid, and pretty sure
Of the others. In view of this the cOnser-
vative leaders, feeling so confident, say they
must be magnanimous and should not embit-
ter the convention by contest, II 1t may be
avoided, and that the Syracuse delegation
should withdraw, leaving Hill'S delegation
to sit II it wants to and vote vainly for
whomsOever it may choose. This would
not only help the nomination Of Cleveland,
but 1t would leave pleasant taste IN the
Democratic mouth after the campaign is on.
On the other hand, there are leaders among
the Syracuse men who maintain that their
errand here will not be fulfilled if no con-
test is made-at least before the credentials
committee.
Ex-Mayor Grace believes that the delega-
tion was sent here to protest against the
methods OF Hill and TO demand representa-
ti0n. If, after so presenting their case, 1t
is deemed wise to withdraw in behalf Of
harmony in the convention and of united
effort In the campaign, the delegation can
go home TO its constituency and say its mis-
sion had been fulfilled.
Ex-Secretary Whitney Is exercising pacific
offices. He advises the withdrawal from
the purpose Of making a stubborn contest
and c0unsels peaceful methods of diplomacy
lie has also advised the Tammany men 20
cease their bitter utterances, and in both
quarters his work has had its effect
Nevertheless the talk about The Syracuse
men magnanimously Tefraining from max
ing a contest because OF increased conf
dence in Cleveand's nomination without
New YoTk's help is treated by the HUI men
as the veriest boSh. Reports that the as
saults on Cleveland's availability are to be
abated in consideration of the withdrawal
OF the Syracuse contestants are also treated
with contempt.
Comptroller Frank Campbell, one of the
most prominent Hill supporters, said to-
day: The Syracuse crowd are simply be-
ginning to realize that they have created all
the trouble they can, and got the State Cf
New York into such shape that it would
not he possible for Cleveland to come within
$4,000 OF 1900 votes Of carrying it,"
James W. Ridgeway, another Hill leader,
came out from a conference with G roker
long enough TO say: I'VE don't care but
ton whether the Syracuse people try 10
make contest or not. They know they
won't be admitted. The regular New York
delegation is going right ahead. and will
vote solidy for Hill all the time"

But LLTTLE BLTTERNESS.
TIE Fight Is Hot but There IS No Persona
Abuse.


CHICAGO, June 19-Thers is one very
strange feature of this fight which has not
been commented on very extensively as yet.
and that is the fact that five Of the chief
aSpiraats for the nomination have been Re
publicanS at some time IN their es. They
are Boes, Gray, German. Palmer and
Campbell. Every One Of them for years fol-
lowed the banner OF the G.. O. p, aud
shouted themselves hoarse In their efforts
TO down the Democracy. One at a time they
fell away from their old love and went over
to the enemy. Different reasons actuated
them in doing as they did, but disappointed
ambitions, as a rule, were the chief causes.
1t must be admitted in looking over the
field here that the contest is not so bitter as
that which was waged at Minneapolis two
weeks ago. There the feeling was so In
tense for time that it looked as if nothing
could reconcile tile cOntending factions, but
hero the same conditions do not obtain.
The fight. Of course, is a hot one and the
feeling Of rivalry runs high, but in the main
there is an absence Of that species of per-
sonaI abuse which was indulged in by the
Republicans. The anti Cleveland men make
no cGncealment of the fact that they do not
Ike the ex-PTesident personally and would
celebrate his defeat with great rejoicing,
but beyond asserting that he could not carry
New York they make no ugly attacks upon
him. Through it all the utmost go0d nature
has prevailed, except in individual aud
isolated cases, and even The Tammany men
are inclined to keep smiling faces.
The silver men, however, border on the
abusive at times when they refer to Cleye-
land, and Frank Adams Of Colorado said very
frankly tonight: Il am not afraid to say
that We have no use for Cleveland out our
way. He is fraud aud We know it. We
don't know yet who we are for, but we will
support anybody to knock Cleveland and
his gang Of mugw jumps out"

CHICAGO, June 19-The star OF Grover
Cleveland is in the ascendeucy tonight.
Every shifting OF the political constela-
tiODs in the past twenty-f0ur hours has only
tended to make it shine forth with greater
luster until tonight the tffulgence of its
rays quite obscure the lesser lights OF Hill,
BOies, German and Gray.
The opponents Of the ex-President are to-
night preparing for one final herculean
effort to muster from all opposition pha-
lanx Of delegates to stand out and prevent
Cleveland receiving the requisite two
thirds vote on the first ballot. They are
somehow imbued with the conviction that
II Cleveland fails TO receive the nomination
In the enthusiasm of the opening ballot, he
will on the succeeding ballots show losses
instead Of gains, and tbatthe dlsintegration
of his forces will then be only question Of
time.
But the day has shown Cleveland's forces
are swelling instead of diminishing. aud to-
night the rank and file Of the Cleveland
hosts are rejecting with disdain the counsel
of those conservative leaders who have
warned them against possible defeat in
nominating Cleveland in the face of Tam
many, and reply by ayowDg that the ex-
President is the candidate of the nation
and that his destiny is above the sway Of
any particular State or faction.
Tonight The names of German, Morrison,
Campbell and Russell, which were so fire.
quently discussed day or two ago as dark
horses, are scarcely mentioned In political
predictions. The only avowed candidates
now are Cleveland, Hill and Boies, and the
situation has cleared up to the extent of in
dicating plainly TO all that dark horses are
not TO be ushcred into the political arena
unless Cleveland shall fail of a nomination
on the first ballot.
The Illinois delegation, under the direc-
ton Of Palmer, will vote for Cleveland on
the first ballot, and probably on various
succeeding ballots as long as the ex- Presi-
dent Is In the race. This announcement.
which was made unofficially from the
Illinois headquarters to-day. has given

and the leaders Of the ex-President's fight

CHICAGO, June ia meeting of the
Cleveland leaders was hel6at ex- Secretary
Whitney's room tonight for the purpose of
reviewing the days work and planning for
Tomorrow. Reports were received from
all the States. and according to these re-
ports Cleveland will have $40 votes on the
first ballot.
There is a difference OF 166 votes, how
ever, between the estimates Of Cleveland's
strength as made by tie Hill managers and
by the friends of Cleveland. Cleveland's s
opponents give him 423. They do not give
figures as to HIPS strength. The official
list Of the anti-Hill managers gives CleYe-
land $50, doubtful and scattering. 312. The
sum Of these totals. 901. exceeds the total
number Of delegates to the convention and
this excess is not clearly explained.
Clevsland's opponents question the cor
reetness OF giving all tie Massachusetts
delegation to Cleveland. Governor Russell,
however. states that IS out OF the 80 nave
always been Cleveland men, and the Cleve-
land managers tonight state that the other
two came to tho Cleveland headquarters
this evening ard stated that they would
vote for the eX- Pres dent.
The Cleveland men, while they claimed
only 20 or 80 votes from Texas. state that
they were practically assured that tve more
would be added to their column from that
delegation.
Judge Henderson, it is stated, tonight
affirmed that both the Utah delegates would

for free silver, we're considered sure for
Hill, are conceded by his managers to be

Cleveland people want a. II. Stevenson Of

General Bragg of Wisconsin is making the
