AansaS ana MISSOURI delegations. Rogers
and Senator Jones, Of Arkansas, have al
ready been among Morrison's most streDu-
Gus supporters, and they have been quietly
but actively at work with the other south
rrn delegations. Henry Watterson is heart
lly IN the movement and expects to swing
Kentucky into line for the "star eyed
goddess Of tariff reform as personifed in
the author Of the original tariff reduction

Similar accessions Of strength are expected
from all the states where tariff reform has
been made the leading issue
What Morrison shouters Claim.
The silver men have not yet been heard
from, but they are so bitter in their oppu-
sition to Cleveland that their 25 votes are
counted on as matter of course A good
deal Of caucusing has been going on during
the morning between the Illinois and New
York delegations, each asking the other to
take the lead in swinging around in the
direction Of the new Morrison anti-Cleve-
land boom. At the present writing each is
waiting on the other. Nevertheless the
Morrison shouters, without exhibiting any
tables persist In the assertion that they
have 400 votes in sight.
The New York delegation says German
allowed Maryland, his own state, to drop
him, thus putting him out of the race.
With German, whom they expected to sup
port after Mr.. Hill, ont Of the race, the
New Workers will undoubtedly support
Morrison by their influence, but not by
f1afr =. I'LL an
am afraid we are goners, said Tammany
man. "The whole Of Gorman's vote cannot
be obtained by Morrison, and Cleveland
may get enough TO nominate him on the
first BALLOT
Mr.. Murphy, Mr.. sheehan, Governor
Flower and Mr.. Croker still assert that the
situation is favorable to Hill.
With a tenacity that is remarkable, the
Hin men remain faithful to their leader,
and in the face Of admissions by delegates
and by Tammany men who were not dele
gates that they are beaten, are going right
ahead with their missionary work.
Lieutenant Governor Sheehan still clings
to Missouri, but it is evident that the only
hope left to Tammany is to gain Illinois and
Kansas, and the major part of the work is
being done there. When Chairman Muz-
ply was confronted with Mr. Whitney's
statement that he would forfeit anything
that could be named if Mr.. Cleveland was
not nominated on the first ballot, he said:
whitney is a false and bad prophet We
are not issuing statements, but we are doing
good work that will show for itselfp But
Mr.. Murphy's courage did not extend to his
followers. Senator Ahern, Of New York. a
member Of Tammany, said: "What's the
use Of talking. We have fought hard and
we are beaten, and we might as well admit
it. The up state New Workers were chased
up by the opposition and compelled by their
leaders to fall in line. That is why no figure
viii be given out here until the first ballot
is taken for candidates"
Illinois Is for Cleveland?
'Illinois win cast her forty-eight votes
for Ex-President Cleveland on the first bal
lot.' This is the statement given ont by
the Cleveland adherents The credit Of
bringing the delegation into line Gf it has
been dona belongs exclusively to General
John n. Palmer. Although fatigued by his
journey from Washington, he proceeded
Immediately TO the Sherman House upon
his arrival just before midnight and for
over three hours was in consultation with
