CniCAOo, Jane 17. Tbere are many presidential barka tossing about on the political sea to-night, but through the mists aud shadows tho hull o! Cleveland's hopes loom ominously above them alL Ik is, indeed, CleTelandagainst tho liold aud the teld against Cleveland. Everybody realizes that the great question ot the convention is "will Cleveland be nominated ou tho first ballot!' Should tho Jozio of events answer this i;ueation in the nezativo, tho friends of all the second-day candidates will feci that the list -are then open to their favoritien; for somehow, tho conviction has gone forth that the failure of tho ex-President to receive tho nomination on the enthustara of the tirst ballot means the elimination of the groat tariC-reformer from tho" contest. They fori that a temporary check to the Cleveland impetuosity "will be to destroy all the magic of hia name, and that no subsequent effort ran possibly swell his following to the two-thirds vote which was wanting on the tirst ballot. All this is the opinion entertained by tho delegations vlio have favorite sons to oiler, but St by no mean follows that the correctness of this opinion is conceded by the Cleveland manuer. Far from it. Tcer maintain that while tiny believe their man will be nominated on the tirst ballot, the fsilwro to receive the requisite, two-thirds on that ballot will not be an indication of his suleiuent defeat, lor they exuect important iiece!sion from the followers of Holes.

Tin: ;i:m.x movkmkxt. The Gorman movciucnt, about which so Xnuch has been said in the presa, received u tew impotn this afternoon by tho arrival pf Senator Gorman, of Maryland, who came to the Palmer House about 2 o'clock. With bim wua a party of Maryland delegates, Mce3rs. Coopton, Drown, Gwinu and Hunt. 1 he Henatnr Uatly refuse! to discuss the political situation. "1 don't know anvhing about It.7 he said. "1 have jnst lrJived in the city and 1 have had no time to ook over tlie ground." "Your name is being used, espeoially anionic tho &outlirn delegates, very freely, fceiiaior, as a cndidaio lor tho presidency." "Von mut know that 1 cannot help that. They should not take my name in vain. Nobody has been authorized to e.iy anything lor n; bat this i ull beside tin question. 1 cannot help what people will av. but I ran help saying anything myself . hen I have nothing to sy." "Do you believe Cleveland will be norma tea!" "1 think so. Dut reully. 1 cannot discuss that or any other question until 1 havo inure facts before me." Ex-Governor Drown, of Maryland, conJoseed to somewhat moro information. 'There Is." he said. a strong friendliness for Cleveland in Maryland, as every bixly Jinows. but oar delegation comes to Chicago uninstructed. and if we se a re.uousole chance to nominate our fayontoson car people would expect us to do our duty. AH of that, however, la in the future, teenntor (iorman's name will not bo used to prevent or to forward the nomination of ouy candidate. Natnrally wo would wish to see Gorman made President of tho tlnited States, but we are anking nothing and proposing nothing. The tutest thing lor yon to say is that Maryland has no candidate and that her delete atea are here to counsel with tho Democracy of tho country upou the question of who ebould be tho nominee." In the meantime it isevident that a zreat deal of work is being done for Gorman, thielly. perhaps, from the New York headquarters. Mr. M. J. Niblack, late Speaker t( the Indiana House of Representatives. Faid: "Yes; you can hear Gorman talk all , pver the place. The Senator is cortatnly a ' possibility, but tho time ia not ripe to bring him forward yet. and I think that his friends will probably suppress the boom till after tho lirst ballot shall have cleared tlie air and showed us where wo stand. 'There are really two parties behind that movement one sincerely anxious to make fct nutor German l'resident, the other sincerely anxious that somebody else shall Hot be President. If the two can combine Ihey will be co in a very serious factor in the convention; but they havo not combined jet. Yon an eo the same two lorces at work for (Iray. for Morricou aud for others nvho have been named. 1 shall not make up my mind as t what is noing to happen trntll 1 ee b-jw far Cleveland falls behind the necessary two-thirda on tho lirst ballot." Not enough delegations aro yet on hand to make missionary work worth the trouble of organiintc nnd pus bin jr. but it seems to be understood at the Cleveland lieadquarters that either (iorman, Pules, 'lorrion. rainier or Kuasoll v. ill get tho pecessary help from tho Tummany directors to encourage their supporter to continue the litfht. In other words, with much tetter organization tho same campaign is to be repeated in Chicago wnich wun made in Minneapolis; with tho ditlereuce that !r. Harrison had to have half the delegate. While Mr. Cleveland must get two-lhirls of them. Neither 31 r. (iorman himself nor uny of his closest friends will admit for a moment that he is a candidate, but the fact remains that about the corridors of the Palmer and tho Grand Paeilie to-day Gorman's name was being discussed on every band, to haioh so, indeed, that in sumo quarters a spirit of opposition was aroused and the Senator's position fn the tariff was Inside the subject of several acrimonious and heated Uebaten The arrival or Senator Carlisle to-day caused a renewal of tho tali that Kentucky wonld present his uimo and irivo bini at least a complimentary ballot. The anti-Cleveland men are endeavoring to bring out Carlisle. Mr. Carlisle could not be found. The Maryland delegation arrived toriight and promptly oponed headquarters. They are for Gorman if he will enter the race, with Cleveland as tho rhoicn of a majority of the delegates provided their Senator will not consent to the presentation Of bis name. The printers' union of this city has issued a circular calling a meeting tor to-morrow to take steps to prevent the recognition of Mr. Flower by tho national Democratic convention, and to robulfo him for hia duplicity in his treatment of the union printers of New Yor& when he retold the State punting hou.-e bill after a majority of both houses adopted it at tho behest of the organized crattuin cf tho State. While it distinctly stated the meet in a is of Democratic union men. the circular asserts it is one the object of which meets tho hearty indorsement of all union printers, of whatever political intimation.

Whitney Scores the llllhtes and Crofter Mauls Cleveland Younc l'almer for II 111. Chicago, Jane 17. Tho delegates from tho Syracuse convention were a good deal stirred up to-day over the Murphy manifesto, and a number of them wero prepared with responses to it. designed to countered Us edect and to show that Cleveland was not only the strongest man in the Democratic party in New York, but that he could carry tho State and would get largo cumbers of independent and Republican Totes which no other Democrat could get. A number of the "anti-snap" delegates came in on to-day's trains. Among them traa Kdward 11 Whitney, of Brooklyn. Mr. "Whitney, on being tbown tho interview of yesterday with Kdwrd Mnrphy, jr., did xiot hesitate to freely cxpreu his opinion. lie said: "Mr. Mnrphy, In his Interview, was desirous of giving the impression that the laadara in the May contention uoYexae&t

have ben in the habit of opposing Democratic State tickets In New )ork. and particularly that or 1J1. As to this. 1 can only s.iv that Mr. Murpby knows very well the fact to he contrary, as 1 can state from perional knowledge. Last fall Mr. Murphy and the State committee were very anxious to make the fact as prominent as possible that Mr. Fairohlld and his friends were warmly supporting Governor Flower and the State legislative tiekoL To that end tho State committee requested mo to prepare an adarev to tho Democratic and independent voters of the State for publication. I did prepare that paper and seenred the ainatnres Jo it and had several interviews about it wfth the chairman of the Democratic campaign committee, at some of which Mr. 3Iurphy wan prent. The addresi was pnblishe I in the New York papers on Oct. 2tf, leM, having been given out to the papers by tho Democratic State committee, with the statement that it was one of the most important event of tho campaign. Among the signers were the following delegates lrom tho Syracuse convention to Chicago: CharlfttH. Fairclnld. If. II. JJoyeseu. Edward 13. Whitney. Fred YV. lioiunch. Edward M. Shepard. C. F. Poabody. li. I). Woodward and many others. Mr. Murphy knows very well that there were no better workers for the Democratic party than these men. Tin: iin;it fallows cali.ei mugwumps. "Mr. Murphy says that the rank aud file of the Democratic party are prepared to vote against the most popular Democrat in the country for the presidency, because they fear his election will please the Syracuse delegation. I will simply say to this that, if Mr. Murphy means what he says, bo considers his own followers to bo mugwump, aud not Democrats, and that his interview is an insult to tho regular Democracy of the State of New York. "There are two men prominent in the Hill organization who are regarded with, suspicion by the Democracy in general on this point. These men are Mr. Murphy himself aud Lieotenaut-governor Sheohan. There is a general impression in tho State of Now York that they wero treacherous to the national ticket in lNrtf. aud I think it not unlikely that they will be so again this year if they do not happen to be pleased with the nomination mado, but they will not he ablo to carry with them aa many Democrats as they wero before, and 1 have yet to tind any evidence that they would be supported in their treachery by Tammany Hail or the Kings county orgttnizatiou. The man who, 'pretending to be a friend, slips his stiletto In your luck,' is a man who is known only among Mr. Murphy's own followers. His power for evil is minimized this year by the New York ballot-relorm act. He ia a man who will be treacherous to anybody, and thtro is no use trvins to btnuor him in

,u nomination, because we will not know until tho election day whether he will he true or false. "livery other Democrat in the Stats of New York will vote lor Mr. Cleveland. If nominated, and he can poll an independent und liopnbiican vote of a size never known before iu the national campaign. Nobody idso can do this or come anywhere near it. For that reason, although thr are many Democrats whom I would have personally preferred to Cleveland tor a presidential nomination, 1 have no doubt that he is by fur the most available candidate for tho Statu of New York." The leaders of the Hill forces appear to have received reuewed hopes from tho event of tho past few days, and are working energetically for their candidate, with tho uppatent convictiou that success ia to crown their efforts iu the end. The headquarters of the Tammany leaders in tho Auditorium, to-day, were throngsd by many of tho promiuent Democrats now iu tho city. Hon. liichard Croker, the Tammany chieitaiu. with his assistants, Messrs. Murphy aud Mieehnu, were kept busy receiving delegates throughout the day. yoi;m; man talmkk von hill. , The unusual spectacle of the son of a presidential candidate working against the interests of his father was to-day witnessed in the New York delegation. Shortly after noon Louis J. Palmer, an attorney of Rock Springs, Wyo.. one of the active young Dumncratio leaders of that State and a member of tho recent constitutional convention, entered the Hill headquarters and at once aked for Mr. Croker. lie was at once conducted to the presence of the Tammany leader aud introduced as the sonot (ieneral Palmer, of Illinois. "1 have called upon you. Mr. Croker." said Mr. l'almer after the preliminary greetings, "to tell you that I urn a Hill man.7' "That is right." said Mr. Croker. smilingly. "1 think all good Domocrats should be lor Hill, and 1 can't see how they can be any other way." "Well, I am for Hill, and I am here to take otf my coat and go to work and do all 1 can fcr the delegates aa they come iu," aaid Mr. Palmer. Tf my father had been an active candidate tor the presidency 1 should have been for hxru and done all 1 could In the West, but as he bas practically drawn out of the race and declared for Cleveland, that leaves me free to follow my own judgment. 1 am opposed emphatically to the nomination of Cievelaud. and k think the majority of the people of Wyoming agree with me. Yv'hen he became President bo tilled the State with carpet-baggers and gave all the ollices to people lrom theontsnle. Harrison has done just the contrary, and by recognizing the citizens of the, .State has malo himself so strong that If Cleveland should be nominated it would be useless for the Democrats to put up a Statu tickot." "So it would in the Stato of New York' said Mr. Croker. We have nothing against uieveianu. only tho Democrats of New Y'ork don't want him: that is all. Mugwumps and Democrats are ditlerent kinds ot auimais; they don't mix well, yon know. The nomination of Cleveland wonld simply mej-.n tlie destruction of the Democratic organization as it now exists in the State of Now York. Fairchild and the rest of these people who are against ns now have always been against us in the State of NewYork. In every victory that we have achieved in that Slate in the Inst seven years we have had these people arrayed cuaiust us. 1 think now, iu this convention, the opinion of thepeoplo who have led the party in those victories should be roepected, as they certainly know the condition in that State. Cleveland's nomination wonld arouse no enthusiasm. When he was President 1 did all 1 could to get him to remove the Republican postmaster in the city of New York, but was unable to do so. 1 believe if be had removed that Republican and appointed a Democrat he would have been elected in 18-&, so great was the dissatisfaction created by his action in appointing to the most important otlices members ot the opposito Party. And then, too, he brought a man from tho interior of the State and appointed him collector of the port of New York entirely ignoring the New York Democrats. Yet it appears, notwithstanding this, that these Democrat of New York, whom he has treated this war, ate exprotcd to ct t out and work for him aain." "That would be a little too mnch for human nature,'7 said Mr. Palmer, and Chief Croker nodded hia assent. "Mr. Murphv expressed the situation very properly yesterday." said Mr. Croker. "when he asketi how the Democrats of another State would feel If the convention should thrust upon them a candidate whom they did not want and whom they were convinced could not be elected. It makes quito a difference when it comes home t one. Wo art unitedly and unanimously for Hill and expect him to be the nominee. We have never thought of anybody else." kim; county opposed to clkveland. Senator Mc Carre w, delegate to tho national convention from Brooklyn, being asked regarding the sentiments and attitude of the Kings county Democracy, said: ''The delegates from Kings county are unalterably opposed to the nomination of ex-President Cleveland aud unqualifiedly in favor of tho nomination of Hill. The sentiment of the regular organization in Kings county is that they could not accept responsibility for the polling of the regular partv voto in the event of the nomination of Mr. Cleveland. They believe that the organi7ation and the whole party in Kings county would unanimously support Senator Hill in the eveut of hia L'cuiination for Prer.idant. and that a greater majority would be Kiven him than bait heretofore been civen to any Democratic caiididain fnr Pr? mdent. While they do net personally antnoiuzo Mr. Cloveland, they believo it their duty to state the bentitmmtn of tno Democracy of that conn. t.v ns they understand it. It is fsir to infer that the leadars of the org auizattcn in Kinga county nre in a position to state what the result would r-t In the event of Mr. Cleveland's nomination. They blieTo that Democratic I'xesuleat can be elected.

if unity will prevail in the organization in the State of Now York, bnt they think the effect of Mr. Cleveland's nomination would be to disintegrate and dumember the Democratic party in the State of New Y'ork, and for that reason they deem it unwise to support hia e&ndidacy iu any event. The Democracy of Kings county were th especial champions of Mr. Cleveland in 1S4 and 1S6. and in 14. at Chicago, virtually nominated him because in tne New York State delegation they held the balance of power, and threw it in his favor. Jt ia the opinion of tho Domocrats in King, county that ex-President Cleveland con id not at this time, owing to opposition in the party, carry the State." CLEVELAND MKN DECIDE ON A LEADrn. Ex-Secretary Whitney, William F. Harrity. leader of the Pennsylvania delegates, ex-Tostmaster-gcnoral Dickinson, James Smith, Newark, N. J., Francis Llndesteson and - George F. Parker arrived from New York to-night. The ex-Seeretar.v, Mr. Harrity. Mr. Uissell and a number ot tho other leading delegates from the Fast had a conference this evening at the Kichelien. No details as to the object of the conclave were given to the prs, but Mr. FairChild said that Mr. Whitney had arrived and would take cbartro of the Cleveland campaign, and that be (Fairchild and others would act as his lientenants. The conference, before adjourning, decided that a number of those who took part In it a dellbarations should call upon the chairman of each delegation and got him to mako a declaration as to the way in which his delegation intends to vote. After a studied estimate tha conclusion waft arrived at that Cleveland had at least 5 votes, including the instructed and uninatructed delegates. Many ot the leading delegates declaro that the conference was the most important event which haa yet taken place aince the arnval of the Democratic forces. Dy all it la admitted that the Held was thoroughly surveyed, and some go to the extent of asserting emphatically that Cleveland was the man whose nomination all would support The conference was attended by representatives from all parts of the country. Ex-Secretary Whitney, in an interview, flsld: "I have been in two big lights tho Tiiden compaign of 1S76 and the Cleveland campaign of 14. But in each of these it was simply a question of a majority, and in that respect it differed from this. With regard to Cleveland now tbere Is no Question of his majority. It is simply a matter of two-thirds." Ex-Mayor Grace, after consultation with several of his fellow. leaders from New York, made a careful statement of his views on tho present situation to-night. "Harrison," be said, "ia strong on account of his conservative viewa on the currency. Cleveland is the ideal candidate to oppose Harrison. He is tho only man who can draw to himself the independent votes of the State of New Y'ork. He is a conservative man like Harrison. In New York not less than forty thousand or fifty thousand vote at preaidential elections who don't consider themselves attached to any party. They will vote for Cleveland." Asked about the Syracuse convention be answered. "We fail to boo any man who will not voto for tbo nominee of the party. Tho present Democratic Association of New Y'ork will be loyal to the Cleveland ticket, aud though I cannot speak freely on the subject I believo Tammany Hall will also faithtnlly support the ticket if Cleveland be nominated. I am even satisfied that Cleveland will bo enthusiastically supported in Brooklyn." TJtK ILLINOIS DELEGATION.

It Slay Vote Solidly for Faliner n Tew Times and Then Give Morrison a Clmne. Chicago, June 17. Tho uncertain attitude of the Illinois delegation is still the subject of much speculation, and up to date only one thing seems determined that the candidate who is the choice of the majority of the Illinois delegates will receive the entire forty-eight votes of the Pralrio State. The instructions of the State convention were that tbedelegatlon should vote as a unit on all important questions, and there is a nuanimons resolve to abido by these instructions to tho letter. Dut upon the question of which candidate is to receive the vote of the' Stato there Is great difference of opinion. The instructions of the State convention upon this subject were somewhat vagne, merely declaring that In the event itshould bo found expedient to come to the great West for n candidate tho Illinois delegation should use all honorable means to secure the nomination of Gen. John M. Palmer. Tho Initial question which the delegation ia to consider at to-morrow's tneotlUg is "Who is to be the jndge of the expediency of coming West for a candidate!" The general opinion at present is that the Illinois delegation is the tribunal which is topassnpon this question ot expediency, and a considerable nnmbcrof the delegates are in favor of declaring against the expediency of an Eastern candidate before the convention opens, in order that the delegation may he tree for its second choice. But with that question decided, it is manifest that there will be considerable of a dispute over the number of ballots Palmer is to receive before the delegation turns to another love. There is no doubt that Colonel William It. MerriMon has many friends in the Illinois delegation, and these gentlemen believe an early opportunity should bo afforded. Morrison to develop hia latent strength m the South by giving him the solid support of Illiaois on thr third or fourth ballot. The friends of Mcrrison and Palmer have Ion? been quite antagonistic to each otberin this State.and it was thought tiie Palmer people wonld bo unwilling to vote for Morrison at all. The compromise most generally disctifscd at this time is that after it is decided that the Eastern candidates aro not available, l'almer shall receive the full vote of Illinois on several ballots, and then, if ho fails to develop significant outside strength, Morrinon shall be ushered into the political arena and llkewlss receive the unanimous vote of Illinois for a couple of ballots. This is to be continued until each candidate hns had a fair shew, so that there rosy be no regrets or harah feeling left to embitter the campaign. fnoi LD 1'iitsT vorn Kon Cleveland. 'It is my belief," said Senator Farmer, n delegate from the Seventeenth district, "that the Illinois delegation ahould cast its firstballot for Grover Cleveland. He is undoubtedly the choice of a majority of the Democrat of the State. After the lirst ballot, however, if Cleveland is not nominated: 1 am in favor of casting the solid voH of the State alternately for Palmer and Morrison and giving both the Kreat llllnoisians a fair show. 1 think harmony would suggest the wisdom of such a course, although, of course, i do not know what the delegation aa a whole would decide to do. I am fearful that Cleveland could not carry New York, Yet 'I believe Hill, if nominated, would carry New York." Hon. Joseph Page, of tho Twenty-eighth district, thinks it is not incumbent upon the delegation to vote for Cleveland at nil. bnt that Palmer should receive the fortyeight votes of Illinois on the first bAllof. Thia convention." said he. "evidently intended that we, the Illinois dolegatos. should be the judge of tho 'expediency' of coming West for a candidate. The May convention, which has occurred since our State convention, has demonstrated to very wise man that it means the political disruption of the Democratio partv to Dominate for the presidency a man who is the chtice of a bolting convention. Yet Grover Cleveland ia such a man. No man can dispute that, aa politics go. the Hill convention of February is entirely regular and legal. If that convention had happened to decide for Cleveland instead of Hill, and the Tarn in any people had later held a bolting convention aud sent a contesting delegation to Chicago, they would havo been denounced as the embodiment of all evil, and tho hand of every Cleveland saint would have been raided against them. You see it daprnds altogether upon which man wears the boot. When l'ammauy happsus to bo lor Cleveland they are loyal patriots; when Tammany is against him. thev are the gang, and should bo promptly lend out of the party. I think neither Clevelnnd nor Hill should be uominnted. bscanse 1 do dot believe either could carry New York. In my opinion it would be wis to hoist the Podiner banner, and lead oft by giving bini the solid support of the State of Illinois, aa tho convention intended we should do in case Cleveland's nomination should appear expedient, as it certainly sloes aluae tho May convention. 2q man

can come into a Democratic national convention as a bolter. ! if wo give Palmer our loyal aud constant support 1 believe wo can nominate him. He is more than any Other candidate the representative of the opposition to the force bill. Twenty-one years ago John M. Palmer left the Hepublican party because he was opposed to federal interference in State all a Irs without the request of the State. authorities. In the verv zenith of his glory he abandoned all bis political hopes because he would not sacrifice hi principles to ambition; nnd sucn a man would be an ideal candidate for the Democratic party." Mr. Morrison is not in tho held as against Cleveland. This is stated on the authority of Congressman Fithian, who is ono of Mr. Morrison's iirm adherents, and b-longs to tbeeonthcrn Illinois wing of Democracy, which is stoutly for Morrison. Mr. Fithian to-day said: "Mr. Morrison is not in the lield aa against Cleveland. Thia morning I think Cleveland haa a majority of the delegates. The majority of the Illinois delegates are Morrison's personal friends, and the delegation's vote will be cast for him if the opportunity should present itself during tho right. It was Mr. Morrison's personal following who made the tight for Cleveland, and as a rnattorof good faith

we have got to stay with him." The Illinois delegation will meet informally to-morrow night to disouss the presidential situation. EX.PAKTXKR IlISlEI.L'S VIEWS. Cleveland's DuCTalo Ft lend Speaks for Grover and hcorss ths Hill Crowd. Chicago, June 17. William F. Bissell, of Dn flairs Grover Cleveland's former law partuer. is on tbo ground ready to battle for tho cause of his friend. "1 do not oomo to Chicago merely to aid In the nomination of Mr. Cleveland because he is my friend," said Mr. Dissell, "but for the reason that 1 believe he is the man on whom wo can rely to bring us victory. He certainly will receive the votes Of the Independent citizens in New York State in addition to tho Democratic vote. In Buflalo I have oome in contact with a great many prominent men who are allied to neither party, and they tell me they have conlidence in Cleveland aud will vote for him. 1 have just glanced over the manifesto issued by Messrs. Murphy, Sheohan and Croicer. It is the same old story they have been telling for months. The asnanlt on the so-called mugwumps is not unexpected, bnt 1 am quite surprised that such astute politicians as Hill's friends are credited with 'being should ignore thn force and power of the independent vote in New Y'ork. That vote in our Stato is more potential than in any other State In the Union." Mr. Bissell saya Cleveland has grown in strength wonderfully and he would "aweep New York like a whirlwind." Mr. Dissell took a tlyer at the methods of the HillFlower machine in New York in tho present contest. "All of the Hill shonters who are coming here are drawing salaries from the State of New Y'ork." he said. "Canal commissioners. State railroad commission agents, city hall workers and xneu of that clas are coming on here to whoop it tin for Hill. Cleveland's friends are coming here because they represent a principle aud each man pays his own expenses." CAUGHT ON THE FLY. Sir. Springer Jubilant Over Palmer's Prospects O'Donneir View or 11111. PiTTsncno, Pa, June 17.--The limited on tho Pennsylvania railroad came in in two sections to-night, and was crowded with Democrats' on their way to Chicago. Among the passengers were Congressmen Springer, White, Newberry, Williams and Cable, of Illinois, Allen, of Mississippi, and T. G. O'Donnoll, delegate at large from Colorado. Congressman Springer was stright cut for Palmer. It was Palmer against the field. He could not possibly eeo how Cleveland could be elected. The platform, of course, would be for tariff reform, but not of the Cleveland kind. It wonld be more of the Tiiden or 1S10 order, milder in form, but far-reaching in its etlects. Mr. Springer was jubilant at See ator Palmer's chances lor ths nomination. In his opinion ho was tho only Democrat that t conld carry Illinois. He thought Boies 'would make an excellent second choice, and no doubt would carry Iowa. He took but little Intercut in Hill's candidacy. One thing was certaiu. Palmer would not take second place. His position in the Senate was mnch moro valuable In every way. Delegate at Large O' Donne 11. of Colorado, said It would be neither Cleveland nor Hill. Cloveland had killed himself on hia eilver expressions, and he did not think that when the convention opened the name of Hill would mount to a . Delawsreans for "Gray and Gray." Wilmington, Del., June?. A movement is on foot among Delawareans going to Chicago to establish Gray headquarters at tho Palmer House for the purpose of looking after the interests of Delaware's Senator in the contingency of a failure to nominate Cleveland. A stock of "Gray and (jirsy" badges, indicative of a Delaware and Indiana ticket, will be taken along lor use in this contingency. Tho Delaware delegates, headed by ex-Secretary Bayard, will leavo for Chicago to-morrow at b:4 a. m. Senator Gray will follow on the Pennsylvania limited express. INTERNATIONAL PtilXTERS. Tbc New York Trilons Adjustment of rifTerer.cei Deferred to L'rin So. C for Acti u. Philadelphia, June 17. Tne recent adjustment of the relations existing between the New York Tribune and Typographical Union, No C. came up in this afternoon's session of the national convention of typographical unions, which opened here Mouday. It was introduced by John A. Kenney, president of No. 0. Mr. Kenney made an official declaration in efi'ect that all ditterences with the Tribuno bad been settled satisfactorily, and that all the unfriendly action hitherto taken against the paper by the union had been resoinded. Then came up the question of his action at Minneapolis. He spoke on this with some degtee of feeling. To have bis motives impunged, as they had been by certain parties and papers, was Annoying in the extreme, lie had done nothing at Minneapolis or any where olse that he did not believe was right and entirely in tho interest ef the nnlon, and that he would do it over again. Ills remarks were sup plemented by Secretary lerguson, who spoke in a similar vein, heartily indorsing the action of President Kenney and the committee. Charles Dumar, ex-president of the organization, who besan negotiating with the Tribune two years ago, followed with a vigorous speech indorsing the action of the committed at Minneapolis and declaring that Typographical Union. No. 6, would indorse what had been done by a vote of at least ten to one. John T. Burr took tho samo viow of the caae as Mr. Dumar. and the debate was continued by Mr. Campbell, of Tennessee, and others. When the resolution waa offered referring the whole matter to No. 6. it was carried almost unanimously, and President Kenney was warmly congrstnlated upon the result, since It was considered by bis friends as a completo vindication of his course. At to-day's s-ws'.on of the Internationsl Typographical Union H. C.

The opinion was unanimous. The ccjirt is divided politically, three Republican and two Democratic. All of the points laised against the law are treated at length and practically all overruled. The suit was brought by an application for mandamus by the presidential eleotors nominated npon the Republican ticket, to compel the Secretary of Stato to issue notices of election nnder the old law providing for the election on the general State ticket The mandamus is therefore denied. It was alleged that the Miner law was unconstitutional and void; that it is in conflict with Article 2, Section 1 of the federal Constitution, in that it attempts to delegate to portions of the State fixed os distriots by the Legislature; whereas, in the section referred to, it was contended, the Constitution conferred this authority upon the State at large in a corporate nnit capacity, and though the Legialatnre may thus delegate the authority to districts the law was latslly defeotive in violating Article 4. Section J0. of the btate Constitution, which provides that no law shall embrace more than one object, which shall be expressed in its title, in that it provided for an election of alternate electors when the titlo only relates to choosing electors; that if the provision for election of alternates was valid. It makes no provision for tilling the otlice in caso the elector dies or becomes disqualified before acting. The court says in substanee that tbe'queation of greatest importance is that relating to the true interpretation of Section 1. Article 2, of the federal Constitution. Tho section provides that each State shall appoint its presidential eleotors in euch manner as the legislation may direct. It was conceded on both Hides that tho word "States" means the body pohtio and corporate. Neither the district nor the unit system has before been questioned since the adoption of tho Constitution. So that there has been the practical construction which has continued down to this day which establishes that, under Section 2. Article 1. States have the choice of methods, ana may elect by districts or en masse. If, under the Constitution aud after lcrty years, a State had the right to choose electors by districts, it does not lie with any court to assert that that right has been lost to the State by non-user. "It is also urged," the court continued, "that the act is in conflict with tho fourteenth nud fifteenth amendments. These amendments are held to have relation to conditions existing when adopted, and that in eilect they operate to repeal by implication so mnch of Article 1, Section 2, as to the manner of choosing electors. This view would, in our opinion, be a strained construction that would tfive to either of these amendments the effect to annul the power expressly delegated in the section and article referred to. It is very clear that the fifteenth amendment was intended to preclude the State from making any discrimination against citizens on account of color. No attempt is made to place limitation upon the power of tho State except where the right of suffrage is involved. Tho class protected by thia amendment shall not bo discriminated against." The remainder of the decision relates to the contentions by the electors as to tho wording in the act in Question. Tho court says that the act is in conllict with the law of Congress in so far as it attempts to tix a date for the meeting of electors and the method of certifying to their action, but adds this does not ronder the entire act inoperative. In conclusion the court says: "We have considered the questions presented with tho care that the exceeding importance of tbo ifsues seem to imperatively require, and reach the conclusion that the statute must stand as the lawful ediot of the Legislature. The injustice of any other than a uniform system of selecting the President of the United States is manifest. In legislating upon thia subject it should not be regarded from a party stand-point, but neither the fact that thia important coneideration haa been overlooked nor that this legislation may result in serious injusticecan extend our Jurisdiction or justify ns in usurping functions which, nnder the Constitution, pertain to the Legislature." The court politically is three Republican and two. Democratic The Miner law was passed by the last Legislature, which was Democratic. The case will now be carrted to tho Supreme Court of the United States. THE IIARHISON FAMILY. A Correction of Some Popular Errors Concerning Ills Immediate Relatives. If. IT. VV, In Chicago Inter Ocesn. My attention bas been callad to this paragraph, which appeared in your paper a week or 'more ago: Carter Harrison, who has been doing such wonderful political work for tho President among some Western delegation, according to reports. Is a tall, spare mau, ot dashm manners, who married tbo beautiful young widow Ljtle. John Hcott Ilarrlsou, the President's other halfbrother, who is a pood Democrat, married tbo beautiriil roung widow Lytlo's beautiful daughter. And the beautiful young widow by tie's 11 rat husband's brother as the famous tleo. William II. Ly tie, who, according to an Indiana authority, wrote -'I Am Bjlng, Kgypfv Dying." John Scott Hrrion lives, and moves, aud votos the Democratic tloket In Kansas City, Mo. Carter Harnsou Is Carter Bassett Harrison, the present United States marshal of middle Tennessee, whose headquarters are at Nashville, but his home is at Mnrfreesboro, where, during the war. he became acquainted with and married the "young widow Lytic." He was a yonth "in hia teens" when he entered the service with a nnmbcrof hs fellow-students at Miami University, Oxford, O., where his brother, not hall brother, the President, had graduated several years previously. The latter had married the Rov. Professor Scott's daughter, and with her rejoiced in tho birth of her son itnssell botore the father bad reached his majority. Itmay'be well to say that President Ben1amin Harrison has not and never had a half brother. His parents. John Scott Harrison and Elizabeth (Irwin) Harrison, bad four sous who grew to manhood. Thn eldest was Archibald Irwin Harrison, who received an appointment from President Franklin Pierce to a lieutenancy in the regular army because of a great and sincere friendship which had existed between himself and Captain James Fmdlay Irwin (while in Mexico), wbo was an aid of Gen. Winiield Scott, and died while his command were still In possession of the city. Captain Irwin was an eminent West Pointer, appointed from the Keystone State, and a nephew ot General Findlay, who represented Cincinnati in Congress, and also a nephew of Governor Findlay, of Pennsylvania. . The lrwins were natives of Franklin county, near Merceshnngle, and, like President James Buchanan, were of the best Scotch-Irish stock and near neighbors, as well aa Presbyterians in their church proclivities. The oldest daughter in the Irwin iamily was adopted by her uncle, GeneralFindlay. when she wasquiteyoung, and grew up and waa educated in hia family at Cincinnati, where she married the brilliant young lawyer, William Henry Harrison, jr., the eldest son and namesako of his father, who was the hero ot Tippecanoe, but died before the latter became President. She served as mistress of ceremonies at tha White House during the month her father-in-law was Pre sident. Her only enrriYing son, riodlay Harrison, st the death of Mrs. General Findlav. came into possession of a handsome share of her Iftriio estate nt Cincinnati. His lirst wife waa Miss Alston, of tLn Ninth Carolina family, which livd in Cincinnati, and she was an only consln of the Gen. William 11. Lytle spoken of in the paragraph, who fell ia the battle f Chlokamauga bept. 10. 15-GL "pierced by three bullets, and at tho head of his charging column." The state-

Pay the Price of the Royal for Royal only. Royal Baking Powder is shown by actual chemical tests absolutely pure and 27 per cent greater in strength than any other brand. Many grocery stores have recently been stocked with second-class brands of baking powder; which are urged upon consumers at the price of the high-cost, first-class Royal. These powders cost from 8 to 30 cents a pound less than the Royal, besides being of 27 per cent, less strength. If they are forced upon you, see that you are charged a corresponding1 lower price for them.

rnent that General Lytle was a brother of the husband of Mrs. Carter B. HarTison is an error. He was a distant relative first removed from a close relationship, but of the same Virginia stock. General Lytle and James Findlay Har rison were intimate friends, and went into the Mexican war in the same Ohio regi ment. The latter was also in the war or the rebellion and still survives as a resident in the Neosho valley of Southern Kansas. The mother of President Benjamin Har rison deceased in 1850. He was born in 188S. her second child. Her three oldest sons were all active lighters in the war against the confederates, but the youngest son was quite a boy and re mained at home. He bears bis lather's name, and is a resident of Kansas City.

'Prince' Michael Mills, the notorious leader of the Flying Roll community in Detroit, who bas been on trial in the Circuit Court here, charged with assaulting fifteen-year-old Bernice BecheL a daughter of oneof bis followers, was late to-night convicted Dy the jory, which was ont but one hour and twenty minutes. Loud cheers from the audience greeted the verdiotbut wera promptly suppressed by Judge Kinne. Colonel Atkinson immediately asked permission to enter an appeal, bnt the judge refused and ordered the "Prince' to stand up and state if he had any reason why sentence should not be imposed npon him. At this Michael lost his nerve, ana his knees shook when ho rose and said that "with the aid of the spirit of God he would receive any sentence they might impose npon him.' Judge Kinne sentenced him to five years in prison, the limit of the law. When the sentence was annonnced everybody jumped n-o and made for where the Prince was standing, but several deputlea stopped them and Michael was taken to jail. After Michael waa taken away the crowd, a large number of woom were students, began to look for some one else to vent their feelings on. It was rumored that the long-haired disciples were at the shentl's office, and thither the crowd, consisting of nearly three thousand people, made its way. They caught ''Lucifer'' Horand. and, nnder the impression that it was Bechel, the lather of the girl whom Michael ruined, started to do him bodily harm, but when tbev saw their mistake they let him go with, instructions to leave town at once, which he did. The crowd then captured BeeheL The people yelled, "Lynch htm!" "Cut his hair.' Bechel was almost frightened to death, and said: "Cut my hair, but for God's sake don't kill me."" He was hustled to a barber-shop near by, and in a moment his luxuriant hair and whiskers were on the floor. This satisfied the crowd, and they escorted him to the depot. Instructing him never to enter the town again. Beohel's hair Is selling on the street to-night at 50 cents a look. It is not likely that any of the mob will be prosecuted. ThLECiRAPiC BREVITIES. The stage between Junction, in the Crow reservation, and Mnssellshell, in the Yellowstone country, Montana, was held up Thursday. Prof. A.

Ed Alson, a Norwegian hardware merchant residing at Northfield, Minn., for twenty years, died Thursday with old-fASh-ioned leprosy. His corpse was a most horrible eight, the liesh dropping olfhls body. There is a little girl papoose In the Kasu man household. It will be remembered that one year ago to-day Llaino Goodale. the poetess, married Dr. 0. A. Eastman, a full-blooded Sioux Indian. The baby was born at Northampton, Mass.

On the way a confederate Joined them in the timber and robbed the entire party. Garner returned to this city and the others drove oil in a carriage they bad hired. Where th Enthusiasm Is. New York Letter in PMUdelthta PTtss. It has been said that there ia no great enthusiasm displayed here over the Kepublicau nominations. The assertion ia not true. Tbe demonstrations are much more striking than they were aftec Harrison's nomination in 1&3, aud the most significant and valuable indications of delight are those which have been witnessed in tho conntinroniai ana otlicei of merchants and men of attalr. It takes a good tied tu caopo such men as ex-.ludae Noah Davis to abandon a habit of digniticd reserve, yet I saw Jnle Davis throw hia arm around the .shoulder of a stern-laced banker, grsp him by the hand and say: "Well, the Republican party has met its crisis nobly, and I feel as enthusiastic as I did when we won some of onr early victories. 1 tell yoa that ia say opinion something of a sua-
