DEMOCRATIC wIawAM.

CHICAGO, Ill. June 22.-The New York
delegation was clinging this morning to
last desperate hope of defeating the
nomination of Grover Cleveland. They
were seeking to unite the opposition to
him on some new candidate, and the
name most frequently heard in connec.
tion with the possibility of new combi-
nation was that of General Henry w.
Slocum, of New York. German, the
New Workers would have nothing to do
with.
The New York delegates are very in.
dignant with the Maryland Senator,
their combination against Cleveland two
days ago, after encouraging them to be.
iieve that he would stand by them. They
talked freely about Mr.. German, and
told some of the inside history of the
German movement of. Sunday and its
relation to the Hill movement. Mr.. Cor
man and Mr.. Brice, they said, encourae.
ed the Hill leaders in New York State to
call the mid-winter convention. Mr..
German promised that the Maryland con-
vention should be held soon after the
convention at Albany. 1t was par, of
the policy of the anti Cleveland people
TO weaken the strength of Cleveland
through the country by having his State
with an anti Cleveland convention in
Maryland, which has always been a
Cleveland stronghold Mr. German, the
Hill men say, broke faith in this and did
not have the Maryland convention called
until almost every other convention in
the country had been held. Two weeks
ago Mr.. German met Senator Hill, Mr..
murphy and Mr.. Sheehan in New York.
This meeting was chronicled in the pa
pers but no statement was made public
OF what had been done. Hill men say the
meeting was held at the instance of Mr..
Gorman, to consider the opposition to
Cleveland. Mr.. German urged Mr. Hill

and his friends to make the fight against
Cleveland at Chicago and promised tn EN-
his support. He intended at that time
to remain in the East, but Mr.. Hill urged
him to 60 to Chicago, and he finally con.
sented to do so. Arriving here, he con-
tinued to confer with the Hill people and
at one OF these conferences, held last
Sunday, he authorized them to use his
name in the effort to form a combination
against Cleveland. All of this, they say,
they have now discovered was for the
purpose of furthering the ambition Of
Mr.. German. When they laid before Mr..
Gorman the results of their canvass,

prevent the nomination of Mr.. Cleye.

face and unlimited coinage of silver; de-
manding that the amount of circulating
medium be not less than $50 per capita

established by the government; asserting
that all lands now held by railroads and
other corporations in excess of their actual
needs, and all lands now owned by
aliens should be reclaimed by the govern
ment and held for actual settlers; assert
ing that the telegraph and telephones,
like the postoffice system, is a necessity
for the transmission of news and should
be owned and operated by the govern
ment in the interest of the people
The third and last plank in the plat
form was:
"We declare for honest elections. the
great bulwark of American liberty. that
the will of the people may be expressed,
uncontrolled by vicious partisan laws and
machinery, either federal or State, or by
the influence of money power, and we
call upon every freeman to use all lawful
and just means to prevent fraud, deceit,
and abuse in conducting elections"
The entire report was unanimously
adopted, and after the transaction of con
siderable unimportant business the con
vention adjourned.
