CHICAGO, June 2l.-There is no mis-
taking the fact that two-thirds or more
| of the politicians are confident that ex-
president Cleveland will carry off the
prize easily. Pretty much the same
thing is expected to take place at Chi
cago as was witnessed last week at Min
neapolis and most people here are look
ing for Mr.. Clevelands nomination on
the fret ballot. This conclusion has
been reached after consultation with
some of the brightest politicians on the
democratic side Of the senate, and is due
to the fact that Cleveland will have in
the convention thoroughly organized
body of friends.
The Hon. John F. Duncombe, who
will present the name of Iowa's noted
governor, the Hon. Horace Boies, to the
Chicago convention, has been identified
with the democratic party of the
Hawkeye state for thirty-seven years,
during which time he has always been
found laboring for the cause of his party.
The Boies boom will receive whoop
and a yell from the 800 members of the
Cedar Rapids Jeffersonian club. One
hundred and fifty of the Kansas CITY
Young mems democratic club and sew
eral other western clubs.
Yesterday there were over l5 900
marching club men seeking their head
quarters from incoming trains. And
this is not one-third of the strength of
the organized clubs expected. The
Grand Pacific will resound with cheers
for Cleveland; Hills praises will be sung
at the Auditory; Boies' name will stir
the echoes of the Palmer house, and
Palmer's boom, if it appears at all,
will revolve around the Sherman house.
The Indiana delegates bring with
them promising boom for Ex-Governor
Gray.
Senator John NJ. Palmer is not push
ing himself for the nomination. He
says that he does not think it material
to the success of the party in Illinois
that he should be nominated for the
presidency. The letter bears date of
June z. and is written to exonerate ex-
Congressman Frank Lawler from
charges of disloyalty in the senatorial
contest when the 1O1 went on record in
Springfield
The Wigwam muddle, because. of
strikes, storms, etc., caused the local
committee to secure circus canvas
from Cincinnati. 1t was rented for
$500, paying 500 down, and was brought
in by express at cost of $40. Before
it was unloaded from the draw it
was seen to be rotten. 1t was taken
back to the railroad and billed back as
freight, charges collect" This, how
ever, had an effect to bring the wigwam
committee and the National committee
together.
So far as the attainment OF the presi-
dency is concerned, Mr.. David B. Hill
stands about even chances with Andrew
jackson. To be sure Andrew jackson is
dead. But that makes the betting on
Hill no safer.
1t is evident that several dark horses
are beginning to feel their oats. One of
the Illinois dark horses is kicking his
stall like regular man-eater.
There is a soulfulness about the wav
in which Gov. Bois saws wood that is
simply captivating. A big wood-pile
speaks louder than stump eloquence.
Mr.. Gray of Indiana is not going to let
his features be concealed from public
gaze by his bushes.
John M. Palmer looks and acts and
talks much like a man who has cinch
on.something in the future.
There is trouble to pay among the
democrats of Ohio, and there is no pitsh
hot. The same faction that beat Camp
bell last fall is greedy for gore, and
Campbell goeth forth like a young David
to meet 'em. The only significance in
all this powwowing is that it removes
Ohio from the column of doubtful states.
