THE UNIT RULE IN MISSOURI.
Gray is in the Lead for the vice-Presi-
dency.

Gray Is In the Lead for the Vice Presi-
dency.
CHICAGO, June 2O.-[Spe cial The
outcome of the long debate over in
structions in the Missouri delegation
was the decision that the State should
vote as a unit for Cleveland as long as
his name was before the convention.
NJ l.. Clardy violently opposed the unit
rule and in every way endeavored TO
force individual action. c. ii. Jones,
however, championed the first PROPOSE
ton, and after u long and bitter figh t
Chairman Moifet was ordered to an
nounce thirty-four votes for Cleveland
on every ballot until the nomination
was reached.
Now that Gray is out of running for
first place upon the Democratic ticket
it seems to be generally conceded that
he has become the strongest candidate
in sight for Vice President. There is
talk of a deal between Whitney and Voor-
hees, which settles this problem, but
the statement is strongly denied by both
gentlemen. AT late hour Senator
Voohees said:
The situation has not changed so far
as | know, and while the Indiana dele
SdllOu mdy very pOSSlUly NOl0 as Il uulC
it remains to be seen just what they
will do. Indiana ought to have the
Presidency, but if the Presidency goes
to the East, then in all fairness and
good politics Indiana should have the
Vice. President"
1t is understood that rather for
midable movement has been begun in
the Indiana deleg alton for Bynum, who
is in Chicago; he does not encourage the
movement at all and he fatty said in
the Indiana rooms tonight: The logical
ticket is Cleveland and Gray. This use
of my name is all foolishness and is
merely the result of some little differ
ences of opinion we have been having
in our State and which some of our
friends have not forgotten. Cleveland
and Gray can carry Indiana aginst the
Republicans without doubt" q
In the Iowa delegation the landslide
toward Cleveland has been carefully
marked and noted Said Judge Spear,
of Nebraska: Iowa wants Boies and
may get him. But if it does not reach
first place it should by all means have
second. II the Democrats want the
Northwest there is one man. and onl
one, who can bring it in, and that is
Boies. don't think the party will be
so foolish as to forget this fact. Boies
must be on the ticket somewhere-irs-
if we can put him there; second if we
must be satisfied with the Vice Presi
dency."

AT CHICAGO.

The press dispatches from Chicago
point so clearly to an overwhelming
Cleveland sentiment that the fight may
be regarded as practically over, all but
the shouting. 1t is the ground swell Of
the Democracy of America, irresistible
in its force.
No man in the history of the Democ-
the sentiment of the rank and file of
the party as Grover Cleveland. The
immediate issues which policy dictated
have been ruthlessly set aside and that
which he thought he said. Not party
policy, but honesty and conviction have
been the dominating force of his whole
political career. He has made mistakes,
but he has been apostolic in the fervor
of his beliefs and prophetic in th forco
Of his ruling sentiment.
A million and half Of the white vo.
tiers of America are rising up to the
name of Democracy. The first and only
President the party has placed in office
in thirty years has become to them
Moses OF political principles, as strong
in leadership, as stern in rebuke as his
great prototype.
Yet the forecast outcome at Chicago
is not due to the greatness Of Cleveland.
1t is the depth and force of Democracy
1t is the belief of the masses in the
courage and honesty of their chosen
leader. No political party has ever
presented more divergent views on
great questions than the Democra tic
party. Section has been ranged against
section.
The North and East is for protection,
the South and West is for free trade
The coasts, great lakes and Mississippi
Valley have supported the river and
harbor bill regardless of party tradi-
tions, while the interior has evened up
on appropriations for public buildings.
Free silver, fat money and gold basis
advocates are within its ranks. Yet
Cleveland has sounded chords which are
attuned with the deepest sentiments OF
all true Democracy: Public office is
public trust" Honesty is the best
policy"

ing Secretary Whitney said.
"In view of the situation as it is now

means that Owens, of Kentucky, will be

"These 60l are copper-riveted and
absolutely certain. Gov. Leon Albeit,

AS to the nominee for second place.
Whitney was cautious. He said, how
ever. he presumed L. diana would present
the name of Gov. Gray, and he thought
it might be warmly urged be fore the
convention. While none OF those pres
ent at the meeting tonight would state
that an understanding had been reached
as to the candidacy tf Governor Gray,

the probability in their mind, that
Gov. Gray will be placed second upon

Whitney wished denial Of the rumor
which had prevailed to-day to the effect
that he had received letter from Cor
man, stating he tGorman) had deer
mined that his name shOnld not be pre-

received no written or verbal statement
of that kind and in Difference TO Cor

PLAYING FOR THE CHATTANOOGA
POSTOFFICE.
Editor Geo. w. Ochs Falls Gracefully Into
Line.


CHICAGO, June a0.-lSpeciall Dele
gate George w. Ochs, editor of the
Chattanooga Times, on being approached
by an Associated Press reporter and
his opinion asked of the situation
stated unnesitatingly that everything
points Enthusiastically to the nomination
OF Grover Cleveland on the first ballot.
Every attempt TO disorganize the
Cleveland forces during the day has en-
tirely failed" continued Ochs, and
the arguments OF the cleveland
men instead of weakening the Cleveland
delegates, have only served TO strengthen
their faith.
The alleged reasons why Cleveland
cannot carry New York are in the opin-
ion of Ochs, of the tiimsiest character
and in every instance where the anti.
Cleveland New Workers are asked the
question direct, whether or not they
will support the nominee OF the conven-
ton. they declare most positively that
they will do so with answering fidel-
lty. The declaration is affirmed in most
emphatic terms by no less individuals
than Governor Flower, Amos j. Cum
mings, General Siocum and other con-
spicuous leadt RS of the Hill movement.
The delegate continuing said that the
support of Cleveland is not of the ephem-
eral sort. but is "a loyal devotion to one
whom the great mass Of the Democratic
voters OF the United States recognize
pre-eminently to be the embodiment of
true Democracy as interpreted and ex.

Concluding Ochs said: Grover Clevc-
land has so endeared himself by his hon
esty and integrity to tho American PEG.
pie, that following his nomination an
overwhelming wave of enthusiasm will
sweep over the conservative, indepeDd-
ent thinkers Of this land, which will re-
turn him to the White House by one of
the most magnificent triumphs ever
achieved by an American statesman"
