The Georgia delegates who, it is nm

| The South Dakota delegates arrived
! this morning and are quartered at the
! Sherman house.
I'VE will vote as unit" said one of
the delegates "but we don't know yet
| for whom. Our convention told us to
use our brains and help nominate the
best man. We are going to do it,"
The Idaho delegation reached the
city today and opened quaters i'll the
| Sherman house. The delegation will
vote by the unit rule, but whether for
Cleveland or some dark horse has not
vet been determined. The state meet
| ing will be held at 10 O'Clock tomorrow.
| The Washington state delegation has
| opened its headquarters at the Palmer
| house. The Hill and silver people have
| been hard at work on the delegation,
| but T.. w. Griggs, one of the delegates,
said that the delegation was unit for
Cleveland. The delegation was strongly
i'll favor of having the platform ind0rse
government control of the Nicaragua

The Massachusetts delegation arrived
during the evening, and MIR. Cleveland
has SD long been the idol of the Democ-
racy of the old Bay State that it was not
surprising that they reported the Cleye-
land sentiment almost overwhelmingly
prepOnderant. Word came to Chicago
while the train was speeding westward
that the Gov. Russell boom was wax
ing strong with the delegation, and
that it would go for him on the first
ballot, but the boom was a good deal
stronger OH the rails, if the report be
correct. than IN Chicago, for nothing
was heard of it here. There are four
Hill men in the delegation, but an effort
will be made to have the delegation
vote
SOlfdIY for Cleveland,
though the unit rule is lot in force.
Adhering to its time-hOnOred custom,
the Massachusetts convention did not
pledge the support of the delegates to
Cleveland, but it went as far as its GUS
toms would permit and declared its COLI
viction that the best interests of the
country demanded Mr.. Cleveland's
nomination. Mayor Matthews, of Bos-
ton. says the delegation was twenty-six
for Cleveland and four for Hill, but they
"hoped'' to vote as unit. Two of the
four Hill votes are from Cong
gresham O'Neill's district. There are
several men in the delegation who have
doubts as to Mr.. Cleveland's ability to
carry New York, but as one of them
said: None of us could have come
here if we had not agreed to vote for
Cleveland"
Ex-Representative Russell, who was
in company with Patrick Collins. said
Massachusetts, is a gO-as-you-please del
egation, and does not have a unit rule.
..'And YOU 60 towards whOm?'
Towards Cleveland almost unani7
mously." was the response. Patrick
Mcguire, whose word goes in Boston
politics, re- echoed the Cleveland .Senti-
ment. -
Vermont arrived early this morning,
and brings with it Boies delegate,
John Il. Donnelly. who says he be-
lieves neither Cleveland nor Hill can
carry New York. DIR. John ID. Han
rahan, the chairman of the delegation,
says the other seven votes from the
Green Mountain state are for Cleveland.
The delegation came on with the dele
gates from Maine and New Hampshire.
At Niagara the men in the train were
polled, the result being Cleveland. 10;
BILL, 4, and Boies, /.
Peck as Cumming Mate.
The Wisconsin delegation came down
from the Badger state this afternoon
and brought vice presidential candl-
date with them in the person of Gov.
George w. Peck. That Gov. Peck's
name will be presented for the second
place on the ticket there is little doubt
The boom for WiscOnsin's executive
started on the train. Gov. Peek, on
hearing of it after arriving in Chicago,
entered an earnest protest, but the idea
of having a veteran printer on the ticket
to oppose Whitelaw Reid caught the
Wisconsin delegates, and it was decided
to work the boom for all it was worth.
Gov, Peck, it was ascertained, was an
ex-member of Typographical Union No.
6 of New York. The governor, how.
ever, laughed at the suggestion OF that
fact having any bearing. He declared
Wisconsin solid for Cleveland, and
thought BOies or Gray would be given
second place on the ticket.
Nine on Board.
The California delegation arrived this
afternoon, and at once opened It's mead
quarters at the Auditorium hotel, where
native wines and other beverages were
dispensed with California prodigaiity.
