CHICAGO, June 1.-THE work of repair
ing the wigwam in which the Democratic
national convention will be held was begun
early this morning and will be pushed
night and day until completed. The canvas
roof was the only portion of the structure
injured by yesterdays storm, and con-
tractor Allen promises to have the new
roof of timber completed by Saturday.
Two stanch Cleveland men are editor b.
T. Louthain. of the L0gansport Pharos,
and c. l.. Woll, treasurer of Cass county.
Indiana. who are at tho Palmer House
with Mr. Sheerin. Mr. Woil thinks that
Hill is not in it as far as lndiana's delega'
tion Is concerned. "Our delegation Will
meet here Saturday. and / suppose the ad-
visibility of casting the solid vote for
Cleveland will be considered. In most
cases the delegates were instructed for
Gray, but 1t now looks as if the ex-Gov-
ernor were the choice for second place."
81 will leave this convention satisfied If
Hill comes here and places the name OF
Grover Cleveland in nomination" said
now to his nomin alton, and that is the un-
certainty of the antagonlsm OF the Hill
party in New York."
Mr.. o. o. Stealey, the Washington corre-
spondent of the Louisville Courier Journal,
is in the city to attend the Democratic con-
vention. In his dispatch to the Courier
Journal tonight he states that the Cleve-
land cyclone here next week Will sweep
everything, and that Cleveland will be
elected by acclamatiOn before the roll-call
is half finished. He also states that there
will be no organized opposition to the
nomination of Mr. Cleveland outside of
New York. He concludes his dispatch
as follows Since we cannot nave
John G.. Carlisle for President this year
let rs make him permanent president OF the
greatest Democratic convention that has
ever met in this country. He is tho man of
oil others TO answer MeKinleys Minneap-
oils speech, and he will make tariff re.
form argument that will ring from one end
of the country to the other. In addition to
oil of this he Is splendidly equipped for the
position, being the ablest pnrlIamentarian
in the country, and man always ialr ana
impartial In mis- rulings"
