CONVKNTION QOSHIP.
CHICAGO, June 18.—Friday'H events shed a little mora light on tlie political situation. There wore arrlvalH of leading- democrats from all sections of the country. Ex-Secretary William C. Whitney, Mr. Francis I.vnde Stetson, who is tho ex-presldejit's law partner and personal representative, ex-Postmaster General Don Dickinson, and ex-Postmaster Harrity, of Philadelphia, put in an appearance. Mr. Whitney at once took charge of Cleveland's interests, notwithstanding a sturdy denial that he was looking after the ex-president's boom for renomination. These cx-ofllcials of the Cleveland administration held a conference Friday night at which the reports received were understood to he encoifraging to Mr. Cleveland. Some importance was attached to Mr. liar rity's prominence in the Cleveland councils. He is the boss of the I'ennsyl vania delegation and had it instructed to vote as a unit, but Mr. Cleveland was not specified as the candidate, and it was thought ho might throw the delegation to Gov. Pattlson. His actions, however, give assurance that it will bo for Cleveland.
Weak In the South.
The only element of weakness shown in the Cleveland ranks Friday was in the south. Senator Gorman's arrival started the discussion of his availability, and he permitted it to go on. Senator Carlisle made his first public declaration, which was inferentially against Cleveland, and it was claimed that Senator Roger Q. Mills would be here In a day or two to urge a new candidate, probably Morrison. There is more uncertainty among the southerners than among any other, class of delegates.
Committee Work.
The subcommittee of tho national committee, which has had charge of the convention arrangements, approved the local committee's work and the wigwam was turned over to it. The subcommittee which is charged with the scleotion of a temporary chairman is awaiting the arrival of Senator Kansom. The probability is that W. C. Owens, of Kentucky, will be selected.
Would Support a Westerner. The Tammany-Hill combination held a conference Friday evening at which arrangements were, made for missionary work in the various delegations, and an active canvass was begun. The Tammany braves have made overtures to tho western democrats to put forward a Western man, and have promised their support. Their play is for a good western democrat to head the ticket with Gov. Flower for vice president The talk around the anti-Cleveland headquarters of Flower for first place is simply a feeler. The opposition to Cleveland is more than willing to,put the governor on for the second place and he has given his consent. The manuevers of the enemies of Cleveland will continue the feature of the situation for several days to come, because it rests with the ex-president's followers to keep togcther. and they don't have to do much iu the way of skirmishing in holding their lines.
A Glance Over th« Field.
Hers is the situation as it appears: If Tammany should withdraw its opposition to him Cleveland would be nominated beyond question. Tommany will continue to oppose Cleveland to the bitter end unless he bows his head to it in ubjoet surrender. This he is not likely to do. Hill will not be accepted by the friends of Cleveland, who are in the majority. The nomination of a man from a soutliorn state is not likely to be brought about. The chances of Gov. Boies arc crippled in some degree by the distrust likely to be felt for him by powerful eastern influences and also by his earlier record as a republican. This last reason is equally strong against Senator Palmer and ex-Gov. Gray. Morrison, while having somo ucusunl elements of strength, might fall to secure the united support of his own state in the convention. Still, after setting abide Cleveland and leaving out of consideration men like Campbell of Ohio, Fuller of Illinois, Pattison, of- Pennsylvania, and McPherson, of New Jersey, who are not .often mentioned as yet, the availability of Morrison, Palmer and Boies is most easily apparent.
Still Lack. Votes.
The statisticians have been at work and tho best figures which can be produced by the friends of Mr. Cleveland give him in the neighborhood of SOO votes. While this is a marked advantage over Hill and the lesser candidates, it is still far from being a total sufficient to nominate. The two-thirda rule is the stumbling-block, as this requires two-thirds of the entire body of delegates, or 590 votes. The most, therefore, that the ardent friends of Mr. Cleveveland can claim and substantiate is that they have, the advantage of a long lead. It gives them the prcstigo of about 500 votes on the first ballot and they feel that the moral effect of this.vote, representing as it does a mnjority of the delegates, will be to inducc a break on the second or third ballot toward Cleveland.
On the Flr*t Ballot.
The Cleveland leaders held a conference lasting over lour hours Friday. Wlint was dono is briefest told in the statement of ex-Secretary Whitney, who said: "Mr. Cleveland will be nominated ou the first ballot." The strength of Mr. Cleveland in every section of the country was examined with minute detail. "I have thought from the first," added Mr. ^Whitney, "that Cleveland had majority and would he aoiai.1.)
ORAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1892.
Bfttod, but It was not until I heard these reports from conservative and thoroughly posted leaders from all over the country that 1 bccamc absolutely confident that Mr. Cleveland would bo nominated on tho first bullot." "Is this feeling of confidence based on figures?" "Certainly it is, but we have no figures to offer for publication ah yet. In a word, however, they show that there will be only only one ballot, and that will nominate Mr. Cleveland."
Tamoiauy'a iteaaous.
Edward Murphy, Jr., of New York city, a leading Tammany chief, and for the past six years chairman of the democratic state committee, was the inouthpioco through which the interview mentioned in tho above paragraph was given to the public. In addition he gave as the reason for the opposition to Mr. Cleveland the following: "Tho Idea is dislike of the mugwump It mattors not whether he bo a republican mugwumpUko somo of the editors in New York, or democratic mugwump like ox-Secretary Pairclitld or cx-Muyor Grace. Tho domocrata dislike thorn all and all tholr followers, alders and abettors with a bitterness far exceeding any possi ble 111 will which they entertain towards tlielr republican opponents, for the reason that tho lattor arc open and manly antagonists, while the mugwump, pretending to be a frl-nd, slips his stiletto In your back while you are opposing the common enemy. "Tho nomination of Cleveland would moan the destruction of tho regular organizations in the Rreat democratic cities of the state and In tho state itself, uuder which organizations the party has successively won victories by Incrcaslng maiorlties for tho last seven years. It would riot be possible for Gov. lllil and every member of the national delegation talking from nOw until the day of election, with the aid of .(ho stale and local organizations, to convince the rank and tile of tho democracy thai the nomination and election of Mr. Cleveland would not be to put in power the mugwumps or the 'conditional democrats,' as they are cailcd. over those who have contributed so much to the success of tho democratic party of the state "Tho democracy of the state of New York Is
Inspired by something besides loyalty and friendship for Gov. Hill. They arc iighting for the life of the party, and they would be opposing the nomination of ex-President Cleveland as strongly to-day as they are now doing whether Gov. Hill was a candidate or not. Mr. Cleveland, by acquiescence at least In the acUOII of the mugwump convention, proves thathi Is willing to go before the country as the reprisentutlvc of a body of bolters and no work tlial the party leaders In the state might do would, In my opinion, convince the rank and llle that thoy should support a candidate who was the representative of such a bodv."
Tracy on tlie Manifesto.
"J consider it a very weak mass of utterances," said Col. Trticy, speuking of the Murphy interview, "nnd we hatno fears of its having any influence against us. Tlicy call us mugwumps yet I never voted any other than straight democratic ticket in my life." "Have you noticed, though, that they don't say that Cleveland cau't carry New York if he is nominated'.'"
Doles Men In Earnest.
Iowa's sons continue to crowd to the convention. Their cry is: "Hoies and still we come." There seems to be no fictitious enthusiasm about the lownns. They arc terribly in earnest. They feel confident that when the clash of factions from New York shall have" made the convention weary of discord the 898 delegates will as one man turn to the iiau keye stute and Horace lioies for a lender, who will bring peace and hnrmony to the. distracted party. Among the arrivals is Charles D. l'ullen, of Fairfield, chairman of the democratic state central committee. "We want the first place for Gov. Boies, and I think we can get it," said
Mr. Fullen. "We consider Gov. Boici the strongest man now before the party. lie lias no opposition. His nomination would cause no bitter feelings. No knives would be used. No, he will not take second place. If he is not nominated for the presidency we want to save him for the United States senate. We elect a legislature next fall and with Gov. Boies as a candidate for the senate we could sweep the state. We can do more good for our state by having him our candidate for senator than by his being the nominee for vice president."
For Second 1'lace.
A movement lias been started among the Illinois delegates, headed by Senator O'Conor of La Salle and others, to push the name of Adinl K. Stevenson to the front :for the second pluoe «i the ticket with Cleveland. They consider Stevenson the stron .-st man that the state can present and the object in presenting his name thus early is to hold the delegates together on Cleveland as long as possible in order to socure the ex-president's nomination.
Gorman on the Ground.
Senator Arthur P. Gorm an, Maryland's favorite son and one of the most prominent candidates for the democratic nomination for the presidency, came into town Ftiday afternoon, leading the udvance guard of the Maryland dellegation. The same train that brought
Senator Gorman also carried Senator John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky. Mrs. Carlisle and Logan Carlisle, their son.
Senator Gorman "lias nothing to say about the political situation in any of ts iphases.. That was the way ho partially shut off an attempted interview, and he further strangled it by answering to all questions: "I probably know less about it than any man you could ask." "The Gorman boom?" he said in a mild surprise. "No, I didn't bring it with me. I haven't seen it or even heard of it I don't know how the Muryland delegation "'ill vote or who is its choice for president. I don't know about the Hill-Cleveland controversy or about the tnlk that Gorman, if nominated, could combine the strength of thofe two factions."
Boles' Followers Klateil.
Tammany's attitude has encouraged the already sanguine expectations of the Boles chamiTions. Chairman Fullen lias been talking with spokesmen of several other state delegations and is much encouraged. "We have been attempting an estimate of the vote," suiil he, "but, of course, do not care to make our estimated strength known. It is very encouraging. however. Tammany's stand has, of course, blocked Cleveland, and 1 do not believe Hill can be nominated. I will say for Hill, however, that he has left New York in a condition b?
vote for any good man who has not antagonized his party. We present the name of such a one. .With Cleveland out of tho race I don't think any other man can be named who can supplant Boies."
Not Giving Out Figures.
The Hill managers would not give out any tabulated estimate of strength during the day, but they asserted that Cleveland had a bare majority of the delegates and his vote would dwindle after the first ballot. Neither would they admit that they knew of any programme except to work unceasingly for IIill. They had heard the name of Robert Roosevelt mentioned for the vice presidency, but as the New York millionaire could uot be placed upon the ticket except iu company with some western man they did not choose to say that ho was a possibility.
Voorlioes lSoolus Gray.
Senator Daniel W. Voorliees said Friday that lndiaua would be for Gray. '1 am not prepared to speak for the Indiana delegation," said lie, "but my understanding is that there will be no lack of harmony and that Gov. Gray will receive our cordial support. 'l'hero is no reuson why we should not support him. lie has been a faithful and plucky worker in the party for twenty years, was an excellent governor, stands squarely on all the party issues and would certainly carry Indiana over Harrison. OX that there cam be no doubt. He has always run ahead of his ticket in the state."
Senator Voorliees said he would present the name of Gov. Oray to the con vontion. Under the peculiar instructions passed at the state convention ho was not prepared to say what the vote would be on the first ballot, but he was confident that some agreement would be readied whereby the Indiana delegates would act together.
Gray Will Not He AVlthilruwn. Delegate at Large Charles L. Jewett, of New Albany, Iud., denied that there was anything in the telegrams from Indianapolis that Gray's name was to bo withdrawn in consideration of prospective cabinet position tinder Cleveland.
Morrlnon as a Dark Home.
Some of the tulk iH heard concerning Congressman W. R. Morrison as a dark horse. It is mainly promoted by Congressmen Foreman and I'ithiun, who have established themselves at the Palmer house. They have number of lieutenants with them who will he used for the purpose of promoting the interstate commerce commissioner's boom when what is regarded as the proper time arrives. it. Is Sale.
The wigwam lut.s been thoroughly inspected in accordance with directions of the city building depart tiient by inspectors Agncw, Maher and Chapin. Particular attention was paid to the roof trusses and supports as well as to the addition. They unanimously arrived at the conclusion that the structure was' well constructed, and absolutely safe.
Work for tlie llullroatls.
Estimates of railroad general passenger agents arc that during the next few days the roads of Chicago will bring into this city from 85,000 to 105,00U people. These estimates are bused upon the contracts for large parties already closcd, and upon inquiries made for transportation along the various lines of road.

IMMKNBE PROPERTY I.OSS.
ST. PAUL, Minn., June 18.—The roj ports from the cyclone which devastated tlie southern portions of this |tate Wednesday come in slowly, owing to the extent of the country covered, and the terrible condition of the rqads. rendering communication with the towns not having telegraphic facilities almost Impossible. While fortunately the first reports an to loss of life prove to have -been somewhat overestimated, the death roll is not less than thirty and it may grow to fifty.
In the- Storm's Track.
The trail of the storm is marked by ruined houses, devastated farms, dead and mangled men, women and children. The groves of trees surrounding farm houses were luid low—In many cases not a vestige remains of houses, barns or stock everything fell before the terrible- tt%-nado. Horses and cattle have been found many mileB from where the tornado caught them in its grasp.
At Well, and Vicinity.
At Wells, Minn., during the passage of the storm, which lasted about fifteen minutes, the air was full of rubbish of every description—scantlings, boi^rds, window sashes, chickens, ducks and geese were whirled about in the grasp of the current 'J00 feet above earth. Tlie cloud rose and fell at intervals of a quarter of a mile, and dozens of houses were wrecked at every swoop. The dead and injured in the Polish settlement, about 8 miles northeast of Wells, cannot now be estimated. So far as known the list of deaths in this neighborhood number eighteen, it is probable the list of dead is much larger than now known. The injured recorded thus far number twentyseven.
The Dead In Freeborn County. Albert Lea reported the list of depd in Freeborn county difficult to ascertain, but so far as known numbers eleven. The injured list is a lolig one, while the destruction to properly in very great, as the path of the cyclone was through the richest farming section of the state. Blooming Prairie also reports great damage in that vi cinity, but no loss of life.
Casualties Klsou-here.
Fairmont in Martin county reports two killed there and a great numbei injured. Seven persons were killed between Winnebago City and Sherburne. The wind demolished a schoolhouse, seriously injuring the teacher and sixteen scholars. Much damage to property is reported, but it is impossible to estimate the amount. The Catholic church at Jackson was blown down, but no one injured.
Hun In Two Directions.
The storm originated near Jackson, in Martin couuty. took a northeasterly course tlirough Faribault county until it reached a point between Wells and Minnesota lake, where it divided into two sections—one continuing its northeasterly course through Waseca county into Steele county, where it was dissi pated. Tho other section took a south by east course through Freeborn, Mow er and Fillmore couutics, extending nearly to the Mississippi river before it lost its force.
Freaks or the Wind.
A section man nuined Cliristiau&on was blown 40 feet through the air and fell on the back of a hog in tin adjoining pasture. The hog was killed but Christianson escaped uninjured.
An adopted son of John Brown was picked up and blown half a mile. Two persons were killed north of Richland, where the cyclone was very severe. An 18-month-old baby was found sitting in a swamp, where it had been carried by the wind. It was uninjured.
Cloudhunit In Illinois.
FAIUIII'IIV, fil.,*June 18.—A cloudburst is reported to have taken place at Chatsworth, this county, at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon. The entire place is under water. The water was over 'i feet deep on tho Toledo. Peoria & Western and Illinois Central .railroad track. A high wind prevailed, which leveled smull structures to the grouud and twisted store fronts out of place. At Forrest the Wabash track is under water, but the wind did not blow as strong as at Chatsworth.
