A COMPROMISE AGREED ONyBY THE
MANAGERS.
During last night and early this morning
negotiations were carried on between the
Cleveland and antl-Cleveland managers by
which it was agreed that to-day the Cleve-
land men should have control of the organ
ization of the convention, and.that in select
ing Delegates. at-large the four should be
divided-two Cleveland and two anti
Cleveland.
Therefore when the hour of - O'Clock
came to-day their agreement was conceded
and Maj. Marshall Hanger took the chair
as permanent Chairman of the convention.
In choosing the District delegates, cleo
tors and committeeman, it seems that the
Cleveland men have 81 districts or IL dele
gates to Chicago, and the Cleveland
men have Al districts or 8 delegates to Chi
cago.
Up. M.-The mention of Cleveland S
name has just evoked the widest applause,
and the mention of Hill was also voc ifer-
ously cheered.
A KICK AGAINST THE COMPROMISE.
4:35 p. M.-The convention took a re-
cess at 2 O'Clock and during the recess a
conference Of Cleveland delegates was
held and a determined fight was made
against the compromise agreed upon by the
leaders of the respective sides. The con-
ference is still considering the subject.
5:3S P. M.-For their two delegates-at-
urge the Cleveland men have agreed on
Basil b. Gordon of Rappahannock, and
John Goode Of Norfolk. The Hill men for
their two have agreed on John w. Daniel
and S. Wexford Corbin. These names will
be presented Immediately to the convention
which has re-assembied.
1925 P. M.-The convention adjourned
fol- supper and re-assembled at 8 O'Clock.
At this writing it is thought a bitter fight
may be precipitated by the Cleveland men
introducing a resolution declaring him the
preference Of Virginia.
1923 p. M.-The expected fight was
ayerted by wise counseIs of the leaders OF
the Cleveland side.
The four compromise Delegates at-large
