SENATOR JOHN W. PALMER.
the Clevelaudites submitted a resolution
endorsing the ex-President and instruct
ing the delegation from Illinois to vote
for him on the first ballot as a unit.
The motion was seconded from all parts
Of the room, and simultaneously half
score of the opposition were on their
feet Representative McInerney Of Chi.
cago was the first to be recognized. He
talked until he was almost exhausted,
and wound up by moving that the reso-
luton be laid upon the table.
Then amidst q breathless silence the
roll call was commenced. The last
name had barely been called, when the
sergeant-at-arms poked his head out of
the door and announced to the waiting
crowd ''37 for Cleveland, IL against"
A cheer went up from those in the inn
mediate neighborhood. Like flash the
message went through the crowded cor
ridor and lobby and down to the street.
Cleveland gets the delegation, " and the
hundreds that had been anxioAsly
awaiting the news scattered to spread it
far and wide. In the meantime the Snee-
han delegation, disgusted with its long
wait, had left the scene.
Collapse of the German Movement.
All day yesterday there were rumors
of combinations OF the anti-Cleyeland
forces, and at one time it looked as
though German would come to the front
as a compromise candidate. The Sena-
tor from Maryland, however, demanded
a written assurance, and not being able
to get this, his friends withdrew his
name from the canvass.
The anti-Cleveland forces then turned
their attention to Morrison of Illinois.
Whether they have combined effectively
upon him remains TO be seen. The
Cleveland men made gain by forcing
the unit vote on the Pennsylvania dele
cation by vote of SO to 4 The Mis-
souri, delegation followed suit, and "a
votes were added to the Cleveland col
umn.
The managers of Senator Hills can
vass have done little talking to-day, but
they are working with considerable
energy. At the headquarters Of the
New York delegation 1t is said that they
have no statement to give out. When
Mr.. Croker was asked for figures on the
strength of Senator Hill he is reported
to have said: "a good general never
discloses his real strength to the enemy
in advance Of battle"
Bayard Thinks Hill Should Retire.
Ex-Secretary of State Bayard arrived
yesterday and last evening made the fol
lowing statement; "There is only on
candidate here and his name is Cleve-
land. The demand of the Democracy OF
the country for him is so strong, so in
sistant, that the convention would bow
to it, even if, as it is not, it were adverse
81 Il
cannot put too strongly.
"No combination of politicians, n,
adroit work of any set of managers cal
affect the matter-the convention ha,
but to ratify the popular choice and &C
through the formalities necessary Il
make Mr., Cleveland officially, as he i,
popularly, the Democratic candidate
This done, its function will have beer
completed"
"Then, Senator, you attach little i'm
portanoe to the fight in New York;
"Only this much, that it gives Sena
tor Hill the opportunity of his life Th
| New York storm can be quelled easily
and upon Senator Hill will devolve tn
duty as a Democrat to end it. He is
young man, but a wise man and loya
Democrat, and when he sees how I'm
perative is the demand by the countr!
for Cleveland he must fall in here an,
do his duty to the party"
Southern Delegates Reported waVering
There has been heavy raiding of tn,
| Cleveland lines for the past "a hours
| The anti-Cleveland men have led many
re-enforcements to this corps of work
ers, though they have not yet the ac
tive cooperation Of the great bulk o
| the delegates, and some very skillfu
! political work has bsen done.
1t cannot be discovered at this hou
that they have made any actual breal
in the Cleveland line, but they seem I,
| have checked in a measure the progress
of Mir. Cleveland toward the two-thirdi
necessary for a nomination, which
not claimed that he has yet reached.
They seem to have made some of thu
enthusiastic Cleveland delegates pAus,
and consider, and some expression
have been got of Willingness to Civ
up Mr. Cleveland if some man with
promise of being stronger in New Yorl
can be brought to the front.
Besides this, 1t is claimed that certain
doubtful votes have been brought owe
to opposition to Cleveland's nomin atioI
on the ground of unavailability. Tn
great raid has been on the Southern
votes, and the West has not been neg
lected.
The Southern Congressman who oam
on from Washington were at worl
bright aud early, aud have been holdin
conferences with the Southern an
Western delegates The argument
presented to the Southern delegate
were that Mr., Cleveland could not carr
