The Delegation Against Him by . Vote OF
10 10 1O-Hiii Has Eleven Votes.

ATLANTA. May 1a-A review OF yesterday g
Convention shows that although the Cleveland
men secured the organization OF the body.
they did not succeed In carrying of the booty.
So anxious were Mr. Hoke Smith and asso-
ciates to secure the credit OF organization that
they failed to gather victory In the details OF
tho work. In the FIRST place. the platform is n
knock. out for Cleveland. It failed to give him
u single word Of endorsement. This was
omitted because his financial policy is so dis
tasteful that IN endorsement would have been
stricken out by the Convention Not only was
there no endorsement OF Cleveland. but Mr..
Garrard, the Chairman. secured the insertion
in the resolutions Of the following paragraph: {:
"Wo demand tho free and unlimited coinage
OF both silver and gold on parity with each
other. to the end that the money Of the people
shall bs such in quantity and quality as was
originally contemplated by the Constitution"
Hoko Smith was puzzled what to do upon
reading this paragraph. He was opposed to it.
as were all tho genuine Cleveland men in the
Convention. but to antaRonize 1t would be to
sustain defeat which would wipe out all tho
glory OF tho organization. There was nothing
to do but to grin and bear 1t.
The second defeat came UP on the election
OF delegates. 1t was known to be inevitable
that some Hill men would get on the delega-
tion. It was tho Cleveland idea to muzzle
those by instructions and the adoption Of tho
unit rule. Tho instructions could not be
passed. The unit rule would have stood q
better chance OF passing had 1t not been for
the discovery that the complexion OF the dis
trlct delegates was such that 1t would be al
most Certain that tho whole vote would be for
Hill. or certainly anti Cleveland. OF the delo-
gates at large James NJ. Smith is for Hill;
Fleming G. Dubignon. although On admirer Of
Cleveland. does not believe in his availability.
