CHICAGO, June ia tour of the ho-

German.
The German boom came into town
Wednesday night, concealed in large,
old-fashioned carpet-sack, carried by
Eugene Higgins, of Maryland. Mr..
Higgins was the famous appointment
clerk of the treasury under Secretary
Manning, who gave the civil service re-
formers so much trouble. Mr.. Higgins
wears a high white hat, a white suit of
clothes, white mustache, white hair,
yarn stockings, and pleasant smile.
His coming to Chicago is in the interest
of Senator German. Mr.. Higgins does
not admit the mild impeachment alto
gether, but does not go so far as to deny
it. eve always been German man"
he said Thursday morning. 81 don't

senator will leave Baltimore with the
Maryland delegation Thursday evening,
and will arrive some time Friday. There
will be no regular German headquar
tiers. We will simply assume Micaw
berish attitude, and be ready for any
thing that turns up"
Boies.
Henry G. Shaver, of Des Moines, sat
in the Boies headquarters at the Palmer
house Thursday morning shifting the
lake breeze that blew in at the window.
He retired at midnight Wednesday
night, and was up ut o'clock talking
for his candidate. Governor Boies,'
said he, sis the strongest candidate that
can be nominated by the national con-
vention. Let me give You briefly" he
continued, 'the reasons why Governor
Boies should be nominated. He has the
loyal and undivided support of his party
in his own state; he is opposed by no
faction in any other state he can carry
Iowa again this year as he has carried it
three years in succession; he can do the
best in all the surrounding northwestern
states and can probably carry several of
them; he is stronger in the pivotal states
than any candidate opposed by any fac
ton. He will keep the Alliance states
in the south in line for the presidential
ticket; his public and private life need
no apology or defense; he has the pres
tige of unbrokcn victory behind him; he
is u statesman in the broadcast sense-in
short, he is the ideal candidate the one
man whose availability towers above all
other aspirants for the nomination"
"That's right" INTERCEPTED Colonel
Edward Campbell, one of the delegates

question of availability. I'm tired of
this eternal wrangling i'll New York
state" he declared. "For thirty years
and more I've been attending Demo
cratic conventions and I've never yet
seen the time when there were not fac
tional differences in these great eastern
states. Let us cut loose from the effete
east. Let the dominant star of Democ-
racy westward take her royal course.
I'm n Cleveland man, but | don't think
him available at the present time. The
convention must have absolute assurance
that he can carry New York before he
will be nominated. Governor Boies is
the logical candidate
Cleveland.
In the Cleveland headquarters there
was visible nothing but "A large, serene,
confident SMILE four young women
pounding at typewriters, and u box of
campaign cigars ON the mantel-piece.
The engineers of the Cleveland boom
had taken off their overalls and gone to
breakfast. When General Tracey
emerged from the dining room he
waved his hand graciously and stated
that there was nothing new. at is all
over but the shouting, my son." he de-
clared. "We're doing little work just
to put in the time, but there's no neces-
sity for it--not the least necessity. Mr..
Cleveland will be nominated on the
first ballot
Austin II, Brown, of indianapolis, an
old newspaper editor and at one time n
member OF the national Democratic
committee from that state, is at the
Palmer House. Mr.. Brown is employed
by the national committee to list the
representatives of the country press and
see that they are afforded proper ac-
Commodation in the convention. Mr..
Brown is strong Cleveland man,
though he comes TO Chicago simply to
perform the work allotted to him by
the committee and not to shout for any
candidate.
Il shall say, however, that if Cleve-
land is nominated he can carry Indiana
by 5000 plurality over Harrison" said
MIR. Brown. Harrison can not afford
to lose very many votes, because he did
not carry Indiana by more than $500
plurality in 1888. Among the masses of
the Democratic party in Indiana, Cleve-
land sentiment is paramount to every
thing else. The reason the Indiana dele
cation was instructed for ex-GoverAor
Isaac p. Gray was because Mr., Gray is
strong worker and is able and efficie:.t
in connection with the political ma
Chinery of the state. Therefore it " ds
not thought best to come into any con
iiiCt with him.
Il believe it is the feeling now that
the Indiana delegation will vote for
GRAY if there is any chance for him, and
If he has no show the vote will go solid
lv for Cleveland. In the last few days
the belief has grown that Gray should

that Mr.. Gray has said he would not re.
