TRYING TO ALLAY BITTERNESS.
Cleveland Supporters Laboring 10 Bril-
Harmouy.

CHICAGO, June 1s.-The Cleveland people are
laboring with all their might to allay all bitter
feeling and every attack Of the Hill people Is
met with amiable protestations Of desire for
harmony. The arrival of Mr.. Whitney has had
good effect on the Cleveland line, Mr. whitney's
first care was to avoid any ENHANCEMENT with
the contesting delegation, his object being to
bring the factions together il possible, and to
preserve the integrity Of the old democratic
organization with which he is intimately asso-
ciated.
There was some talk during the night Of Q de-
sign to overthrow the two-thirds rule to secure
Cleveland's nomination. Mr.. Whitney said that
this was neither desirable nor necessary.
The Cleveland people had the convention, he
said, and could afford to be deliberate and
patient Delegations. he said, were eager to jump
over the fence into the Cleveland camp. Many
would come on the first ballot who had ex-
pected to vote for favorite sons and others
would come over on the first ballot.
Mr. Harrity said at the Cleveland conference
last night that the Pennsylvania delegation
would stand solidly for Cleveland until the end
was reached, and by general agreement it was
decided that no second choice candidate should
be considered, but that having large majority
by Cleveland until he was nominated, no mat
ter how long it might be.
Mr.. Whitneys idea is undoubtedly that the
regular New York delegation finally consent to
Clevelands nomination when they find that the
Cleveland people will not yield.
Word was received from the Iowa delegation
that that delegation would come over to Cleve-
land in body at any time.

land at once.
cussed and the conclusion was reached that the
opposition to Mr.. Cleveland could not be con-
centrated on any one. They regarded Mr.. Hill
as out Of the fight as Q candidate, and figured
out that they would have enough votes come to
Cleveland whenever an attempt was made to
rally about another candidate to insure his
nomination.
They regard German as the most likely candi-
date for the anti-Cleveland people to 60 to. but
the opinion was confidently expressed that Mr.
German would come over to Cleveland any
time he could give the nomination to the ex-
President.
The Hill people have begun to talk "Gor-
man" and it is with difficulty that the Mary
land delegates can be restrained In their eager
ness to launch the German boom. They are
eager to raise the cry Of "Gorman and free
silver"
Mr.. German has to exercise the greatest dis
erection to hold his friends back.
THE DISTRICT DELEGATES.
The regular District delegation arrived this
afternoon. Delegates Davis and Norris and al
ternates Kelly and Manogue were accompanied
by large delegation Of District of Columbia
democrats among them A. A. Wilson, Dorsey
Clagett, Frank Hume, ]. n. Gordon. C. C.

Dorsey Clagett and NJ. A. A. Wilson, both
speaking at once in their enthusiasm. told me
that there was not doubt of Cleveland's nomi-
nation; that they were here to nominate him,
and that they did not hear anything but Cleve-
land all the way from Washington to Chicago.
"A vote taken on the train," Mr.. Wilson
said, ''resulted 40 for Cleveland to II for Cor

land men Of the District Of Columbia, said

issue with Mr.. Drew. Cleveland he said, "has

THE cAxPBkLL MOVEMENT
One Of the efforts in the direction of break
ing Ueveland's strength on the first ballot is
hksin nd IN hor fhn Aala tsnv,
cast q complimentary vote for ex-Gov.
Campbell. This arrangement is satisfactory
to Senator Brice. The probabilities are that
| either Campbell or Brice can get the compli-
mentsry vote, but the scheme is now to give
the honor to the ex-governor.
| The proposition has been suggested that
| Campbell be made permanent chairman Of the
convention, but this is not likely to be carried
out for the reason that it would unnecessarily
antagonize the Cleveland program.
The Cleveland men want ex-First Assistant
Postmaster General Adlai E. Stevenson Of nli-
nois for permanent chairman. He has already
been selected for the temporary position.
81 have received this morning." said Senator
Brice today, "a formal letter from Charles g.
Fairchild asking seats in the convention for the
seventy-two delegates and seventy-two alter
mates who were selected by the anti Ril demo-
Gratis Of New York at the Syracuse con-
| vention. In his letter Mr.. Fairchild said that
he would present their credentials at the proper
time. When the credentials mike their ap-
pearance the national committee will meet to
consider the matter" From the foregoing
statement Of Chairman Brice it viii appear that
the first issue between the Cleveland and anti
Cleveland forces will be raised over the con-
testing delegates from New York state.
Mr.. German is talking with the workers and
considering whether or not he will organize op-
position to Cleveland. The pressure of anti
Cleveland folks is for Brice, German and Wat
terson to combine in opposition to Cleveland
They have not yet decided what to do.
Mr. Carlisle says that he does not think the
party can afford to nominate Cleveland unless
he can get the support of the regular demo-
Gratis Of his state.
Mr.. Whitney il now waiting for Q conference
with Brice and German. J. p. II.
