CHICAGO, June 22.-The New York dele
cation was closing this morning to a last
desperate hope of defeating the nomina-
ton of Grover Cleveland. They were
seeking to unite the opposition to him
on some new candidate and the name
most frequently heard in connection
with the possibility of new combination
was that of Gen. Henry W. Slocum, of
New York. German, the New Workers
would have nothing to do with. The
New York delegates are very indignant
with the Maryland Senator, whom they
charge with having broken their com
bination against Cleveland two DAYS
ago, after encouraging them to believe
that he would stand by them. They
talked freely about Mr. German and
told some of the inside history of the
German movement of Sunday and its re-
lation to the Hill movement. Mr. Cor
man and Mr.. Brice, they say, encouraged
the Hill leaders in New York State to
call the midwinter convention Mr..
German promised that the Maryland con
vention should be held soon after the
convention at Albany. 1t was part of
the policy of the anti Cleveland people
to weaken the strength of Cleveland
throughout the country by having his
State instructed for Hill and by follow
ing this with an anti Cleveland conven-
ton in Maryland which has always been
a Cleveland stronghold. Mr.. Cor.
man, the Hill men say, broke
faith in this and did not have
the Maryland convention called unit
almost every other convention in the
country had been held Two weeks age
Mr.. German met Senator Hill, Mr.. Muir
ply and Mr. Shehan in New York. Thi
meeting was chrOnicled in the papers
but no statement was made public O
what lad been done. The Hill men sa,
that the meeting was held at the in
stance of Mr.. German to consider tn
opposition to Cleveland. Mr. Gorma1
urged Mr. Hill and his friends to max
the fight against Cleveland at Chicag
and promised them his support. He in
tended at that time to remain in tn
East, but Mr. Hill urged him to go t
Chicago, and he finally consented to d
So Arriving there, he continued TO con
fer with the Hill people, and at one c
these conferences, held last Sunday, h
authorized then. to use his name i
the effort to form combil
alton against Cleveland. All {
this, they say, they have now discovere
was for lhe purpose of furthering tn
selfish ambition of Mr. German Whe
they laid before Mr. German the result
of their canvass, showing that with h
name they could prevent the nominatio
of Mr.. Cleveland on the first ballot the
did not show enough strength to assu1
to Mr.. German the nomination, and |
thereupon repudiated the whole arrang
ment and went into the Cleveland can
paign. Mr.. Gorman's side of the que
tion has not been stated in full, but h
friends in the Maryland delegation ha,
given out since the canvass of Mondi
the statement that he refused to perm
+. his name to be used and that his refus
was because he believed that it was
