TAKING UP BOIES.
The Anti-Clevelsnd Men Disappoint,
Their German Movement

The Anti-Cleveland Men Disappointed In
Their German Movement.
CHICAGO, June 20.-The opposition to Cieve-
lands nomination, finding that the ''feeler" put
out in behalf of Mr.. German as a candidate
around whom to rally strength enough to
beat the leader and prevent his securing
two-thirds on the first ballot, did not
meet with a reception sufficient to warrant the
belief In the success of q movement in this di-
rection, this morning turned toward the
idol Of the Iowa democrats and Hor-
ace Boies WIS the name most talked
of. The effect has been to give
increased prominence to the Boies boom and
aid and comfort to the managers Of the inter-
ests Of the governor Of the Hawkeye state The
Boies men have been working earnestly and per-
sistently ut all times in behalf of their candidate,
and have unfalterinsly declared their intention
of standing by their candidate for the first
place. There has been more enthusiasm at
taching to their cause than to any Of the other
leaders, except Cleveland. -
They have secured scattering support Of Mr..
Boies from various sections where there was
opposition to Cleveland. In the Rocky Noun
tain region they have heretofore met with
the best results, the south being more disposed
toward candidates with whom it was better
acquainted: but this morning they were
cheered with the intelligence that the
South Carolinians, fearful OF Mr.. Cleve-
lands strength, were willing to give
seventeen votes to the Boies men. 1t was al
so reported that Mr. Brice and Mr. Watterson
were friendly inclined toward the Boies move
ment and were willing to lend it what assistance
they could. The Virginia delegation, the Boies
men claim, are now in some doubt.
The Cleyeland-Hill fight has been very warm
in Virginia and each side has claimed a major
ity of the delegates from the old dominion.
The Boies men say that some of the votes may
come to them. but they do not go beyond this
statement. acknowledging that no decision has
yet been reached.
member Of the delegation from Iowa is au-
thority for the statement that Chairman Shields
has received limitations that Mr.. Brice
and Mr.. Watterson would throw votes
toward Mr.. Boies and had con-
veyed to him (Shields) the opinion that
by combination on Boies in the west and
south with Hill controlling the New York vote
and some other votes Cleveland's nomination
would be prevented on the early ballots, after
which some lukewarm but instructed Cleveland
men could be expected to break away.
The California delegation is bound to Cleve-
land by instructions of qualified nature, and
the fact that the delegates could not have come
here if they had not been for Cleveland. Some
Of them would like to go for Mr.. Boies, who, as
= western man and friendly to silver, is re-
garded with interest.
Delegate Foote Of Oakland was one Of these
men, and he expressed doubts Of Mr.. Cleve-
lands availability. The silver issue. he said,
had weakened Cleveland. Mr. Boies, Mr.. Foote
added, would get his vote but for the fact that
was instructed to vote for Cleveland
Senator Carlisle does not take kindly to the
Boies movement, and opposition to it is likely
to deyelop this evening when the Kentucky
delegation meets
