 ! CHICAGO, June 19.-The star of Grover Cleveland is in the ascendency tonight. Every shifting of the political constella- tion in the past twenty-four hours has only tended to make it shine forth with | greater lustre until this evening it's efful- gence quite ebscures the lesser lights of l Hill, Boies, German and Gray. When | the church bells tolled this morning the political leaders were engaged in eager l conference in the darkened chambers of the hotels, and when they tolled for the 1 evening services these conferences were | still continuing with unabated interest. The opponents of the ex-president are to- night preparing for one final, l the opposition a phalsnx of delegates to | receiving the requisite two-thirds vote on | the first ballot. They are somehow i'm | bued with the conviction, and this convic- | tion is rather general, that if Cleveland | fails to receive the nomination on the enthusiasm of the opening ballot, he will | on the succeeding ballots show losses in stead of gains, and the disintegration of his force will be simply @ question. But the day has shown that the Cleveland forces are swelling rather than diminish 1 ing, and tonight the rank and file of the l Cleveland forces are asserting that the ex- president is the candidate of the nation | and that his destiny is above the sway of any particular state or faction.
 VIOLENT APPLICATIONS.
 Violent alterations ot frequent oc- currence in the Hobbies of the leading hotels, and all the enthusiasm of the hour is with Cleveland. The Tammsny men, who have so constantly warned the delegates that the nomination of Cleveland means New York's loss, are waved majesti- cally away by the Cleveland enthusiasts, who declared that the great exponent of tariff reform can be elected, if he must be, without the electoral vote of the Empire state. And so in the impetuosity of the Cleveland movement, those wavering dele gates who have been inclined to desert the ex-president and go for a compromise candidate on the grounds of party ex- pediency have been won back to their first love, and tonight the names of German, Morrison, Campbell and Russell, 80 fre- quently discussed @ day or two ago as dark horses, are scarcely mentioned in the political predictions.
 THE THREE LEADING MEN.
 The only avowed presidential candidates in the field tonight are Cleveland, Hill and Boies and the situation is cleared up to the extent of indicating plainly to all that the dark horses are not to be ushered into the political arena unless Clevelan should fail of nomination on the first ballot. The Illinois delegation under the | direction of General Palmer will vote for Grover Cleveland on the first ballot and probably on various succeeding ballots, so | long as the ex-president shall be in the race. This announcement, which is uucffcially made from the Illinois head quarters today, has given | and the leaders of the ex president assert | with great confidence that they have now assurances of the two-thirds vote re- quired to nominate. Indiana has given | unmistakable evidence that Gray will | hardly receive more than seventeen to eighteen votes from that state, the remain l ing twelve or thirteen being cast for Cleve- land. As ex-Governor Campbell has an l nounced that under no circumstances will he allow his name to enter the list of presidential candidates, the Cleveland peo- l pie rely upon thirteen votes of Ohio being cast for the ex-president. So that from Illinois, Indiana and Ohio alone there seems assured for Cleveland over seventy votes which yesterday appeared to be wavering. Kentucky still looms up as an uncert ain factor in every estimate. The powefo of Henry Wstterson seems to be having an influence on that delegation and
 while many of its members are friendly to l Cleveland the constant friends of the ex
 president are not yet relying implicitly up
 on a very substantial support from the
 Blue Grass state. Iowa is still true to
 Boies and even the most sanguine Cleve land leaders have abandoned hopes of re-
 ceiving any support from the Hawkeye
 state on the first ballot. The seventy-two
 votes of New York are conceded to Hill
 and it appears probable he may receive
 couple of hundred more from various sec
 tions. The Cleveland people are not
 longer indulging in any hopes that the
 Hill managers will magnanimously recede
 from their past position and accede to the
 nomination of Cleveland, but are now
 using every effort to placate the Tammany
 leaders and induce their loyal support for
 the ticket in the event of Cleveland's nom-
 ination. There is manifest one slight
 change in the disposition of the Tammany
 leaders. They are no longer talking so
 loudly and so continuously of the hope
 lessness of carrying New York for Cleve-
 land in the event of his nomination and
 although no one doubts their intention
 to Loyalty support Hill to the end, ex-
 Secretary Whitney and others tonight
 express the belief that in the event of
 Cleveland's nomination Tammany will
 give the ticket effective support.
 THE GoRMAN BOOM WIPED.
 The German boom budded prematurely
 and has been nipped by the early frost of
 adverse criticism. The Cleveland people
 of the south rather resented the insinua-
 tion that Germans past opposition to the force bill was destined to attract to his ! standard the Cleveland people of the south, and the result of to-day's campaign of the 5 senator's has not shown a score of out 5 spoken German delegates in the whole , south outside of the senator's own state of 7 Maryland. The senator himself emphatic ally denies his candidacy, and says the
 vote of Maryland will be for Cleveland.
 sUBsIDENcE IN THE MORRISON BOOM.
 There has been marked subsistence
 too, in the Morrison boom. sThe friends oi
 the ex-leader of the house of representa- f tives maintain to. day that it is the desire ;, of Colonel Morrison that the Illinois dele n n gation should support Grover Cleveland
 loyally ss long as there is probability o | his nomination.,
