 STICKING TO BoIEs.
 CHICAGO, June 20.-- The loyalt, of the Iowa delegation to the candi
 dacy of Governor Horace Boies has aroused the admiration of the Dem ocracy of the nation. It was natural to suppose at the beginning that Cleveland who had always been popular among the farmers of the Hswkeye State, that on the arrivsi of Cleve- land leaders and the demonstration that would certainly be manifest on the first ballot would cause a weakening of Boies' forces, and result in his followers holding out the olive branch of cancellation and compromise to the Cleveland managers. They are doing nothing of the kind. They have demon stated so emphatically that twenty six votes of Iowa are immortally welded to the hopes of the Hawkeye governor that this situation of affairs is now generally accepted by all opposition leaders, and Iowa occupies unique position being the only state in the Union whose delegation is not claimed in wholeor in part by Glove land or some minor candidates. The suggestion that Boies would be a good vice presi- dential candidate, in the event of Cleveland's selection, does not even find courteous reception in the Iowa headquarters. Indeed the Boies people rather resent this. Indiana again presents spectacle of dissension, discord and factional quarrels. The state con vention of a few weeks ago found 1t expedient to smoothe the pathway of the present by bor- rowing of the future, and the day has now arrived when the debt with interest must be met. There are thirteen aggressive Cleveland men in the Indiana delegation, and as the unit rule was not com manded by state convention these gentlemen naturally insist upon ex- ercising their personal privileges of of voting for the great popular leader.
 Three or four conferences have been held, but they have been fruit less to secure any compromise by which the vote of Indiana can be cast as a unit for any candi- date, and the situation gives indication that the Hoosier delega- ton may go to pieces on the great crisis of the opening ballot and cast seventeen votes for Gray and thir- teen for Grover Cleveland.
 TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN.
 CHICAGO, June 20.-Hon. Wm. .. Owens, of Kentucky, will be temporary chairman of the conven- ton. Mir. Watterson won the fight. It is believed there will be no fight over the matter, and Owens name will go through quietly. Mir. s. P. Sheering, of Indiana, will be temporary and permanent secretary of the convention.
 At 10 o'clock this morning seventy-two delegates from the Syracuse May convention held the first meeting of the full del- egation, which was designed to formulate their methods of proce- dure, which will involve the de- termination as to whether contest should be made before the commit tee on credentials or before the con vention at large. Decisive action deferred until this afternoon unless an earlier hour should be found ad- visable. A committee of seven named to develope a de0nite detailed plan of action was appointed and the committee will report to the meeting this afternoon. The Syracuse organization is to-day receiving applications from many state delegations asking that the New York Cleveland men be sent to them to explain how in their judgment Grover Cleveland can carry New York state. Prompt responses are being made to the application and "dandelion" delegates and workers are in turn asking the Hill supporters and others to join them in a joint canvass of the New York section before various delegations. Among the accessions this morning to the ranks of the Cleveland Democracy of Buffalo arrived two special trains over the Grand Trunk road at 7:30, 346 strong, accompanied by the Seventy-fourth regiment band of Buffalo. The delegation was headed by Mayor Charles F. Bishop, one of the delegates at large at the May convention. The entire delegation is composed of the leading Democrats and business men of Buffal md is to be the largest delegs. Z. ever sent out of Buffalo to attend any convention. A signal victory fol the Cleveland forces was fought and won to-day almost without the firing of gun. II was on the question oi the unit rule, and the battle ground
