motion was made to amend by inserting
the name Of Governor Pattison instead of
Cleveland. The amendment was lost and
the original resolution, which guaranteed
solid vote of Pennsylvania for Cleveland,
passed So and 4.
GoRHAN's NAME.
1t is still insisted by Germans friends
the presentation of his name is yet an open
question and German himself still denies
he is candidate. The Maryland delega-
ton met this morning for the purpose Of
organization. 1t is understood the result
of the canvass in his interest showed a
weakness in some places and that move
ment in his behalf, if developed, would
result in throwing the votes of other men
to Cleveland and the opposition to CleVe-
land finding German feeler did not elicit
special enthusiasm and was turned over to
the Iowa idol, Governor Boies. The effect
has been to give increased prominence to
the Boies boom, A scattering support for
BOies has been secured from various sec
tiOns where there is Cleveland opposition.
They have met with most encouraging
success in the Rocky mountain region, the
southern delegates not being so well &C.
quainted with him but this morn
ing they were cheered by the intelligence
that the South California delegation
fearing Oleveland's strength, were willing
to give Boies 12 votes. 1t is also reported
Brice and Watterson are friendly toward
the Boies movement, and ready to assist it.
The Boies men claim Virginia, where the
fight between Hill and Cleveland is very
warm, and no doubt some votes may come
to the western governor. The members Of
the delegation from Iowa say Chairman
Shields received intimations that Brice
and Watterson would throw their votes to
Boies and give him the opinion that by
combination on Boies in the west and
south with Hill controlling New York and
some other votes, Cleveland's nomination
would be prevented in the
early ballot. The rest would
take care of itself. The California
delegation is bound to Cleveland by quail
fed instructions. Some of them would
like to go to Boies, who as western man
and friendly to silver is regarded with in
terest. Delegate Foote, of Oakland, one of
those who expressed doubts about Cleve-
lands ability The silver issue, he says,
weakens Cleveland. Foote says Boies
would get his vote if he was not instructed
for Cleveland. Carlisle opposes the Boies
movement and is likely to make it known
in meeting the Kentucky delegation this
evening. Ex-secretary Whitney this morn
ing claimed ESQ votes certain fos cleveland,
on the first ballot.
SOLID FOR CLEVELAND.
The Illinois delegation will cast 48 votes
votes solidly for Cleveland. There is no
longer any reasonable doubt on this point,
and the effect has been to send Cleveland
stock booming skyward Early this fore
noon Gen. John NJ. Palmer, for whom the
Illinois delegation was instructed for the
presidency, had an extended conference
with the members of the Illinois delega-
ton He told them he wanted them to vote
solidly for Cleveland. At the conclusion
ofthe conference he said to the Associated
PADo1 ADpOA ADCA l. Ah4Alh i jail Dldbc Will
considerable certainty that Illinois will
vote for Cleveland. 1 reminded my friends
to-day that the democratic state convention
of Illinois declared substantially that
Cleveland was the first choice
OF the people of that state and in effect
instructed the delegates to vote for him,
since the instructions for me were only to
be effective If deemed expedient to come
west for candidate. My friends generally
agree with me fully that no delegate shall
vote for me on the first ballot and 1 advise
them all to vote for Cleveland. That's all
can say and all I have right to say to
the Illinois delegation, and 1 have no
doubt they will vote for Cleveland. 1t
looks to me as if Cleveland will be nomi-
mated. I lake no stock in the New York
fight. 1 simply trnst if Cleveland is nom
mated, or any good democrat we will carry
Illinois and Wisconsin to make up for the
possible detection of New FORK state"
Hon. A. E. Stevens, chairman of the
Illinois delegation, is even more positive
than General Palmer. The delegates
would vote for Cleveland solidly. 1t is
rumored extensively today that after the
withdrawal Of Palmer, the friends of Hon.
VIM. Morrison began urging the Illinois
delegation to turn to him. The friends of
Morrison, however, Indignantly denied
the rumor. 1t is declared there is no move
ment in favor of Morrison and never would
be till Cleveland is defeated.
Owens has been selected as temporary
chairman by the national committee. The
/ Cleveland men, under the lead of Harrity,
of Pennsylvania, fought the sub-commit-
tees recommendation but were beaten on
roll call. Wilson, of Pennsylyania, will
probably be permanent chairman. One of
the surprises of this morning was the state
ment of Taggart, national committeeman
from Indiana, that there would be 30 votes
that state cast for Cleveland on the
first ballot and Gov. Gray's name would
not be brought before the convention. He
says voorhees, agrees with him that it would
not be friendly act to introduce Gray's
uame, and Taggart thinks Voorhees, has
made up his mind to advise the governor
to that effect. Taggart declares that Vor-
hees, from careful examination into the
situation, has become convinced that
Cleveland and nobody else can be nomi-
mated. Gray's friends have examined the
position carefully and see nothing in it but
Cleveland, and do not propose to sacrifice
their friend, Governor Gray, in an unavail-
ing candidacy. Taggart has no doubt that
Gray himself will agree with his represent
atives here, that they are doing the wisest
thing not to propose his name. He de-
clares no understanding has been reached
as to the second place for Gray. The only
point arrived at is that the country de-
