CHICAGO, ILL, June 20.-Ex-President
Cleveland's nomination seems now inevita

whether it will occur on the first or SECOND
ballot, and that question will probably bt

TAMMANY SUING FOR PEACE.
II is not strange that Temmany, while
making its last effort at a winning anti
Cleveland combination with the governor

triumphant Whitney for terms of peace
which will secure them their autonomy in
New York if nothing else. 1t has
been hot, hard day for: the managers and
delegates and even for the thousands of
shouters for MIR. Cleveland. Senator Hill
and Gov. Boies, who, with their bands,
have kept the air full of more or less mus
ical noise and the hotel lobbies and cor-

posed TO Mr.. Cleveland's nomination, but
which we're filed with admissions that he

OWENS THE ONLY SETBACK.
All the news they got was favorable
except the fact that Henry Watterson's
discovery, Speaker Owens of the Kentucky
legislature, has been confirmed as temporary
chairman by the national committee, a
majority OF which was believed before hand
to be opposed to MIR. Cleveland. Probably
the Cleveland men would not have made
this contest had they not been committed &c
a Mr.. Stevenson, for, although l5 is desirable
TO have the temporary chairman give the
Keynote just right, it is not worth much
lighting. The positive refusal OF
Senator German to allow himself
to be used by Tammany
in the attempt to defeat Mr.. Cleveland,
Senator German seei z that though he
might defeat Mr.. Cleveland it would not
nominate himself but some dark horse, was
one of the first bits of news they heard
Then came the news that Senator Palmer's
arrival has taken him out of the race alto
gether and had made the support of Mr.
Cleveland by the Illinois delegation almost
certain, the only question being as tC
whether Senator Palmer, Col Morri-
son or some other man should
get the credit for it. Chairman Boies' ad
mission that Ohio could could not be held
either for himself or for Gov. Campbell
and that he said his prospect Of preventing
MIR. Cleveland's nomination went together
with the remark of Senator VOORHEES, that
II seemed idle to put Gov. Gray IN nomina-
ton.
NEW ENGLAND SOLID.
The morning meetings Of the various
delegations were promptly reported to the
Cleveland managers, who soou knew that
New England's seventy-aight votes were
practically solid for Mr.. Cleveland in spite
Of the predictions of young Jewett OF
Maine, who resigned his consul
generslship to Samoa to come

authority the statements that there would
oe from fifteen o twenty votes against Mr.
Cleveland from New England have beer
made. Then came the good news Of Penn

more significant because Of the at
