AGAINST HONE RULE.
The Great Ulster Convention Meets at
Belfast, Ireland.

BELFAST, June 1.-THE great Ulster
convention to consider the negative side
OF the home-rule question was held here to-
day. Work generally was suspended. The
city is decorated. and many notices eX-
pressive of the Ulstertes' determination
never to submit to the rule Of an Irish Par
lament were displayed. Ten thousand del
egates were present when the convention
was called to order. after which the forty
sixth psalm, God is our refuge and our
strength" was read by Rev. Nathaniel
Brown. ID. D., ex-moderator OF the General
Assembly.
Robert MeGeagh, president Of the Ulster
Liberal Unionist Association, moved that
the chair be taken by tie Duke of Aber-
corn. The motion was carried.
The Duke took the chair and addressed
the convention.
He described the meeting as solemn
one, deeply earnest, and animated by love
of country, family, home, religion, and
above all by determination TO live as an
Integral part Of the United Kingdom. He
said the meeting was not sham, but
thrObbing reality that would never have
home rule. This declaration received pro-
longed cheering, the immense audience
rising to give vent to its feelings.
AT the conclusion OF his speech Sir w. u
Ewart proposed resolutions declaring that
Ulster ayowed its fixed resolve to retain
uncnanBeu lts present pOSlIlOn as an ln-
tegral portion of the United Kingdom, and
protested III the most unequivOeal manner
against the passage Of any measure to rob
it Of its inheritance in the Imperial Parlia.
ment, under which its capital was invested
and its homes and rights safeguarded; that
it would have nothing to do with a Parlia-
ment certain to be controlled by men re-
sponsible for the crimes and outrages of the
Land League, the dishonesty of the plan Of
campaign, and the cruelties of bOyeOtting.
many of whom haYe shown themselves
ready instruments of clerical dominion;
that the attempt to set up such Parliament
will inevitably result in disorder, violence
and bloodShed, such as has not been expert
enced in this country; that Ulster will take
no part in the elections or proceedings of an
authority which, should it ever be consti-
tuted, Ulster will be forced TO repudiate;
and fellow-countrymen hitherto in favor of
a separate Parliament are appealed to TO
abandon the demand which hopelessly
divides lrishmen, and unite under the In
perial Legislature in developing the re-
sources and furthering the best interests Of
the country.
Upon the conclusion OF the convention
proceedings proper the delegates proceeded
to the Botanic Gardens. where an outdoor
demonstration was held at three platforms,
and resolutions were adopted similar to
those adopted at the convention.

CoNrEsTING DELEGATIONS.
The Anti Snap Delegates Will Claim
Recognition From the Convention.

The nti-Snap Delegates Will Claim
Recognition From the Convention,
CHICAGO, June 1.-THE delegates elected
by the Syracuse convention will ask recogni-
tiOn as the rightful representatives of the
Democracy of New York. There seems to
be no difference of opinion among the anti
snap delegates who have thus far arrived
that they must and will do this. There
will, therefore, be contest and not simply
protest The delegates from the city Of
New York and from Brooklyn are generally
In favor Of vigorous protest and fight to
supplant the present organization, but a
number Of delegates from other parts of the
State are opposed to such contest, which,
they say, must result in fight in the State
between the rival organizations.
W. T. Bissell OF Buffalo. Cleveland's
former law partner, is here rustling for
Grover. He says Cleveland is the logical
candidate in view of the nomination OF Har-
rison on a high-tariff platform. and that he
is the strongest candidate in New York be-
cause he can carry the independent vote,
which is very large In that State. He SAYS
the office-hOders OF New York, State and
city, are the ones who are pushing the can
didacy of Hill.

Special TO THE MORNING CALL

PEGNIX, Ariz.. June 17.-Tempe, nine
miles from here, is aroused over the myste-
rious murder of Ed Radcliffe and the sub
sequent action of CorOner's jury. Yester-
day morning Radcliffe was found dead on
the floor of Harry Bernard's dancing-hall in
Upper Tempe. He had died on his back,
with his legs drawn up In apparent agony.
One arm was Outstretched, and the other
was on his breast.
His face was almost concealed by large
slouch hat, and looked black. despite the
pallid hues of dissolution. The Mexican
who discovered the corpse notihed Justice
For see. who, with the assistance of Con-
stable Gallardo, summoned a Coroner 8
jury. Several witnesses were examined,
but none on oath, and the jury returned a
verdict that The deceased had come to his
death from natural causes, but under the
existing circumstances was supposed from
alcoholism"
His body was without preparation placed
in rough box and about P. NJ. taken to the
cemetery and buried. Many of the residents
were not satisfied, however, and Deputy
District Attorney tfen.haw telephoned
summoned and the body disinterred.
A pOst-mortem examination was made
which showed that death was caused by
three blows Of blunt instrument on the
back part of the head Under the skull
was found clotted blood and the left lung
was heavily congested. The inquest showed
that the deceased had been seen last about
II O'Clock the night previous during dance
in the hall where he met his death.
The second jury found shat the deceased
came TO his death from blows on the head
by means of some instrument in the hands
OF parties unknown"
No theory for the murder has been ad-
vanced and the whole affair is wrapped in
mystery. Radcliffe was 58 years old. a
native of Hanover, Germany, and was eXlled
for participation in the Schleswig- Holsteln
troubles of 1648. He served in the COnfed-
crate army and had resided in Arizona for
80 years He was fluent speaker of Spanish,
French. German, English and Indian dia-
lects. and was Of unimpeaehable character.

CHICAGO, June 17.-Ex-Seeretary OF the
Navy Whitney, William +. Harrity. ex-
Postmaster General Dickinson and other
leading Democrats had a conference this
evening at the Richelieu. No details as to
the doings were given to the press, but Mr..
Falrchild said that since Whitney had ar
rived the ex-Secretary would take charge OF
the Cleveland campaign and the others
would act as his lisutenants.
Mr.. Harrity said the Pennsylvania dele

will be cast for him. But IL anything
should occur to prevent his nomination.
then Pennsylvania will press the name OIL
Pattison. Many Of the leading delegates
declare that this conference was the most
important event that has yet taken place
here. Some go to the extent of asserting en-
phaticaly that Cleveland was the man whose
nomination all would support The confer
ence Is attended by representatives from all
parts of the country. 1t is understood that
an effort will be made to obtain from each
delegate at once a declaration of his stand

CLEvELAND's CHANCES.

A Strong Opposition Being Organized
Against Him.
CHICAGO, June 17.-Thus far the surface
indications are all in favor Of Cleveland, but
there are not many shreWd on-lcokers who
would be badly surpris ed il the ex-President
was knocked out The fact is that he has
anything but a wslkoYer, and the field is
against him. Beyond this the great man
ayers ars out for his scalp. and there is not
all told a d OZeB of the men who figure con-
spieuously in national politics who are for
him.
Briee has no use for him, and Colonel
Eugene Higgins loves him not. Watters0n
makes no effort to conceal his antagouism,
and Colonel Joe Hickey of Missouri says
Cleveland is not in it. Then there is Dick
Croker and Billy Sheehan and all the rest
Of the Tammany gang, who are for Hill
aud who will stop at nothing to humillate
Grover.
If it we're not for the two-thirds rule
which operates IN Democratic conventions,
Cleveland would stand good chance for a
nomination on tie first ballot and two DAYS
would probably be sufficient to wind up the
whole show, bat as it Is the struggle is
likely TO be prolonged. No one can be
found who has temerity enough to deny
that Cleveland has a fat majority Of the
S9S delegates who viii be here. but even his
friends admit that he Is nearly 100 short Of
the 500 necessary TO nominate. OF course
they claim that they will make this all up in
good time, and there is a possibility Of their
doing so, but that remains to be seen.
They are applying every arti1ee of poll
tics to make up the discrepancy, while the
anti-Cleveland forces are striving with
equal energy TO keep him down. 1t is safe
TO assume tnat no effort will be spared by
the practical politicians to break the battle
line of the Cleveland forces. This is evil
denced by the frank sentiment Of the OppO-
sition voiced by such leaders as German,
Croker Watterson, BrIce and in fact almost
every competent graduate and master of
the school of practical politics.
The morning call., 1892-06-18

Boss Croker, who is for Hill first, last
and all the time, seems to care very little
about MI Anderson OF his table In fact
Richard is a little inclined TO sneer at these
figures, and as he sat in the Auditorium to-
day putting away at a long, black cigar he
laughed at the idea. He preferred to dis
cuss the Suburban and said so emphatically.
But when shown Anders0n's figures he
said scornfully: "Those fellows are great
on figures, but figures amt votes" When
informed that eX- Secretary Fairchid
claimed a majority for Cleveland on the
first ballot, Croker Tetorted: "Is that so
Well. that fellow ought to be q Democrat
before he goes to shooting of that mouth Of
his. He amt, though. He's a Mugwump
and just talks at random. Those figures
don't worry US bit"
"But, Mr.. Croker" was suggested,
'theIe are kilograms from New York State
that Tammany is ready to throw Ii i'll over
board"
'Is that SOP Well, don't believe it, my
dear boy. Tammany is for Hill, and any
body who says it amt don't know what he
is talking about" and the big chief turned
away to TejOin his braves. There is no
doubt but that Tammany is strictly In It.
They have nearly the whole of the first
floor Of the Auditorium, and their short
haired pluguglies TeVel in the midst Of the
most luXuriant surroundings. The main
paTloT of the hotel has been given up to
their literary bureau, which is kept in Ope-
ration day and night, and where arguments
are ground out by the yard TO show that
Hill is the only man on earth who has any
claims TO the Presidency They claim that
Hill can carry New York with a who0p and
that Cleveland couldn't carry one side of it..

CLAIMS OF THE OPPOSITION.
CIsTeIand's Friends Charged With Being
Place Hunters.


CHICAGO. June 1.-THE same cry of be-
Ing the office-holders' candidate, uttered by
80 many throsts al Minneapolis last wee
against Harrison, is being repeated against
Cleveland here. The anti-CleYeland men
p point to Villas, Whitney. Fairchild and the
other champions Of the eX-President as ex-
Rmples Of the SOFT Of men who want him
nominated. They also claim that at least
one-thiTd OF the delegates who are pledged
to him held Office under his administration
OF are actuated to support him under the
hope Of securing substantial recognition
after he has snatched the plum.
Although the fight is not yet really on,
there are already indications that would
seem to point to the fact that the struggle
will be similar in many respects to that
Waged at Minneapolis two weeks ago. The
bosses and the hOwleTs are opposed to
Cleveland just as they were opposed to
Harrison. On the other hand, the conserYa-
tives In the party, and, TO some extent, the
younger element of its followers are san
guIne In their confidence that Cleveland
Will be the nominee. From a very careful
canvass of the field as 1t now appears the
situation is about this: Cleveland lacks
sufficient votes to nominate, and unless
there is a break In the imperfectly organ
lied opposition be cannot win.
ON Ll6 OLQtr mana the dDL-tieVelanQ
standard bearer, yet to be decided upon,
cannot command votes enough to carry the
convention unless the Cleveland men are
won away from him. That is about the
present shape Of affairs. but it is so early in
she game that the guesseTs are still badly at
sea and fOuDdering around Ia every diTec-
ton. The Hill men are certainly Ia earnest
and, whether right or wrong, claim to be-
lieVe that they have all the best OF it,
Croker, Sheehan, Peck. Murphy and all the
rest Of that crowd are working like TrO-
jams and their arguments are not to be
sneeZed at, no matter how one may regard
the general outlook.
& / met Peek this afternoon, and had long
talk with him. Hill is bound 20 be NOM
mated" he said. "and l cannot conceive Of
any possible combination in which he can
be defeated. He can carry New York by
$4,000, and is tie only man In the party
who can. l am absolutely sure that Cleve-
land cannot, and II nominated Harrison
would lead him by 10000 in our State. 1
tell you Cleveland Is a dead duck and no
power on earth can ever bring him back to
life. Hill is stronger in all the Democratic
States. and weaker perhaps in those of a
Republican complexion, Just look at what
AIN has done in New York. For seven
years he has carried the State, and each
time with an increased majority. This has
given us all the State and municipal
patronage, and we have gained the State
Senate. How has is been done Simply
BY getting the young men to take hand
and then rewarding them for faithful
service. They are with us 10 q man."
