EARLY IN THE FIELD. “Boomers” of Various Candidates Ar- rive at Chicago, DELEGATES FOR THE WINDY CITY. Bangor, Maine, Greatly Damaged by a Tornado. HIGH WINDS ON A RACE TRACK GATHERING AT CHICAGO. Early Arrival ef Democratic Boomers at the Windy City. Carcaco, June 15.—As the date of the demo- cratic national convention approaches the virtues of the several candidates are being dis- cussed by their friends. ‘The hoteis are receiv- ing the advance guard of the army of states- men who will make Chicago their home next | week. Chairman Brice may be here on Friday. ‘The national committee holds a conference on Friday with the local committee on orrange- ments and will finish up all the odds and en: of business between the national and local bodies. A full attendance of the committee is expected. If Mr. Brice does not arrive he will probably be the only absentee, One vacancy exists on the committee owing to the death of ©. A. Broadwater of Montana. This vacancy will be filled, but it is not known at present who will be the man. THE ROLES Boom. The Boies boom, although of no great dimen- sions as yet, shows good staying powers, and May assume promising proportions. On the first ballot the friends of Gov. Boies | declare that he will have at least eighty votes, ‘Yo the twenty-six from his own state, which | will be cast solidly for the governor, through | thick and thin, with added material support from South Carolina, Florida, South Dakota, | Missouri, Kentucky and Nebraska. After the first ballot, however, if the two-thirds rule is | adopted, if they feel’ sure that no nomination | | can be made these Iowa democrats predict that | | the south and the whole great northwest will rally to the support of their candidate. If | nominated they are ready to give bond that Gov. Boies will carry not only Towa, but Wis- cousin, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyom- ing, South Dakota, Nevada, Washington, Cali- fornia and Colorada, as well as poll the full | party vote in the other states. “Towa's demands are for Gov. Boies,” said Mr. Hunter, who is steering the Iowa boom, “becanse they feel that he is the only available candidate so far presented. He is the only candidate who will have behind him the undi- vided support of Lis own state, Gov. Boies will be nominated before the convention by Mr. John F. Duncomb of Fort Dodge, general counsel in Towa for the Llinois Central. We wish it understood that his name is not being pushed in order to make him available for the vice presidency. Under no _ circumstances would he accept such a nomination, The nom- ination of Benj. Harrison by the republicans makes it necessary for the democracy to eare- fully consider before they nominate a man whom Harrison defeated four years ago. Gov. | Boies is emphatically a vote getter. He will | pole more votes than any candidate who is, rightfully or wrongfully, involved in a factional contest. Gov. Boise ix safe and available. He | ought ‘to be nominated because he canbe elected and that is why the democrats of Iowa are urging his name.” According to the members of the advance guard fully 10,000 Iowans will arrive in Chicago next week to shout for their governor, Perma- nent headquarters for the state will be opened in rooms $1 and 32at the Palmer House. Sen- H. Shields is expected to arrive this en All the delegates from Towa will | reach the city,Saturday morning and a‘meeting | will be at once called at headquarters. Col. John Tracy, who is at the Grand Pacific, | expects Col. Robert G. Monroe, secretary of the New York Cleveland delegation, to reach | the city this evening, and ex-Mayor’ Grace and ecretary of the’ Treasury Fairchilds to- | morrow. The main body of the Cleveland men, 500 strong, will follow the Grand Pacific on Saturday next. The Great Northern Hotel, which opened yesterday, will be headquarters by Sunday for the Cleveland Club of Buffalo with 225 men; the Young Men’s Democratic Club of Philadel- phia, with 250 men, and the Young Men's Dem- ocratic Club of Kansas City, with 175. PALMER AND MORRISON. There is talk of a coalition of the Palmer- Morrison forces in this state to prevent the nomindtion of Cleveland. ‘The vote, it is said, will probably be cast for Palmer on the first two ballots, ‘then Morrison may come in for some support, “Illinois, with ite forty-eight delegates, may have a deciding voice,” eaid an Llinois dele- gate this morning. “We may be for Morrison or Gorman or Flower. It is now clear that Hill will fight Cleveland. That being the case Cleveland is out of the question. Flower is not big enough for President, though if New York presents him we may ‘vote for him. There are a number of favorite sons, Gray of Indiana, Pattison of Pennsylvania, Boies of Iowa, Carlisle of Kentucky, Russell of Massa- chusetts. Gray of Delaware is also mentioned. Pattison and Russell are the most promising of the lot, and events could arise which would give victory to one or the other. The adoption of either by New York would settle it. If an eastern man is chosen for President then Gray of Indiana is certain of the vice presidency.” The Ilinois delegatin will have a meeting Saturday, when sever. matters will be settled. Congressman R. K. Cable will be named for the national committee. A. E. Stevenson may be named to head the delegation, though an effort will be made to give that honor to Mr. Crafta. It is not likely that anything will be decided as to the presidency m.til a ne Soke pose ing. * Congressman Fithian and eeveral of Mor- rison's friends are here working hard for that statesman, They be reinforced soon by Congressman Forman, Owen Scott and other “Egyptian” statesmen. Congressman Prather of Missouri will also be on hand to help out. SENATOR HILL'S FRIENDS. Charles F. Peck of Hornelleville, N.Y., is the avant courier of the Hill boom. He wears on his breast a red ribbon with gold fringe on one end of it. A portrait of David B. Hill, printed in blue ink on a square of white ribbon, is sewed to it. Mr. Peck was appointed commis- sioner of the bureau of labor statistics of the state of New York by Mr. Cleveland while the latter was governor, but he does not believe the ex-President can carry New York this time. “I do not believe,” he “that Cleveland can garry the state, while T know that Hill can 0 it. ® “Cleveland has proven his inability to carry the state, while by seven sutcessive victories in as many yerrs Hill has given evidence that he can carry it. It is essential to democratic suc- cess ihat New York shall be carried, and I do not see how the convention, which I believe is composed of “practical Politicians,’ ‘can do otherwiso than nominate Hill. It will certainly not nominates man who, on hia first appear- ance, carried the state by 192,000 votes, who carried it two years later by a scratch of only 1,100 votes, and then in 1888 lost it by 19,000 plurality.” “FULLER AND FLOWER.” “Fuller and Flower, the two F's,” is a ticket . the Cleveland people are prepared to make an earnest fight. : ‘MINNEAPOLIS ANUBBS CHICAGO, ‘The local committee of arrangements for the democratic national convention were greatly amused when they received a telegram from hall in which the republicans met for the dem- coratic convention. “Evidently Minneapolis thinks un- able to cope with little casualties,” eid F. H. Winston, chairman committee. “Electric lights have been placed in the Wigwam and work will be rushed day night and everything will be for the convention by Saturday. The onl 0 ‘was the tearing away of the can- vas roof. That will be e substan- tial board covering and decorations will also be replaced by new flags and bunting.” TRE SENTIMENT IN CALIFORNIA. Sax Faaxcisco, June 15.—California dele- gates to the national democratic convention leave today for Chicago. The party will take with ita sized difficult; but ares paul! The delegation Fetion iS divided and Delegate the train report that an attempt will be made en route to expel Alternate Louis A. Metzger, who will take the seat of Delegate-at-large Coleman. Dele- ite ler, t moment refused to go because of the elec- tion of Butler, doubtfal Cleveland man, as chairman of the tion. The fol ii telegram was received from him yesterda: am anti-snap in New York and in California, too; nor am I willing to be «kindergarten su- pernumerary. I will not go.” How the affair will turn out no one at thie writing can predict, UTAH DEMOCRATS ON THEIR WAY. Satt Laxx, Uran, June 15.—The democratic delegation to the Chicago convention, com- posed of Gentiles exclusively left here last night on a special train of seven cars. The tes were accompanied by 100 members of the caro Society of Utah and adrum corps of twenty pieces. Hon. Wm. Ferry, member of the dem- oeratic national commitiee, is with the delege- ion. ves. pt SPLIT IN INDIANA LIKELY. Ixpraxarouts, June 15.—Democrate who claim to know say there will be split in the Indiana delegation to Chicago. It appears that the Cleveland-Gray compromise pro} sev- eral days ago is not satisfactory to all leaders of both factions, and it looks now as if the dele- gates will go to without an under- standing as to what they shall do as a body. Some of Gray's friends, it is enid, are doter- mined that his name shall be presented to the convention for president,and,on the other hand, some of the supporters of Cleveland are deter” mined that if the friends of Gray intend to pursue such a course they will do all they can to prevent Mr. Gray from receiving any consid- eration from the delegation. It is expected that the session of the delega- tion at Chicago Saturday afternoon will bean interesting one. At the meeting the delegation will attempt to decide on what it will do in the convention. see HAVOC ON A RACE TRACK. A Gale Created 2 Panic at the Binghamton Driving Park. Brxonamrox, N. Y., June 15.—A terrific hail storm accompanied by a high wind ended yes- terday’s races of the Binghamton Driving Park Association in a sensational manner? Barely was one heat finished when a ter- rible bail storm stopped further proceedings. A lull of three minutes occurred, but before ‘the track could be put in =A for racing the storm-was renewed with redoubled fury.

Bangor, Me., Sustained Considerable Dam- age. Baxoor, Mr., June 15.—A terrible tornado struck this city shortly after 5 o'clock last evening, doing considerable damage. The storm lasted for half an hour, during which time the rain fell in torrente. Many buildings were blown down, fences demolished, while trees in all parte of the city were uprooted. little steamer Annie, which carries excur- sion parties up and down the river, was caught in the squall « chort distance below the Maino Central wharf and capsized.

FUSION IN KANSAS. Representative Otis Beaten and His Rival Indorsed by the Democrats. Exports. Kax.,June 15.—Congressman John G. Otis of the fourth Kancas district was de- feated for renomination yesterday by E. V. Wharton, a physician of Yates Center, Woodson he joined the alliance. Otis is » straight out ers’ alliance man. The ‘con- vention, which was in session at the time of Wharton's nomination, bad given it out that they would fuse on almost anybody except on Otis. Five ballots were taken lore a nomina- tion was made. Otis led until the last, when Wharton secured the necessary majority. ‘The democratic “convention immediately in- dorsed Wharton's nomination and then both conventions adjourned. qc No Fusion Likely in Minnesota. Sr. Pavt, Mixx., June 15.—It was learned last night from Michael Doran, the Minnesota member of the democratic national committee, and Wm. M. Campbell, chairman of the Min- nesota state, committee, that all for fusion with the alliance or are at anend,and that there be no union on either the electoral or the state ticket.

THE ESTIMATE SAID TO HAVE EMANATED FROM SERATOR WILL COMMENTED UPOX—TWO VICE PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES — SOME FEARS co eas GLavmans sa areas | A table of the probable vote of the Chicago convention on the first ballot, understood to have emanated from Senator Hill, was the basis of m good deal of talk about the House yester- day. According to this table Senator Hill will have 314 votes on the first ballot, Cleveland 475, Palmer 48, Carlisle 35 and Boies 26. Of course ‘the pronounced Cleveland men would not ac- cept these figures as correct or anything like it. They pointed out that the forty-eight votes of IUinois, for instance, were not likely to go to Palmer on the! first ballot. They might be divided up between two or three men, Cleveland, Palmer and Mor- ison, although they could not see how under the resolutions of the Illinois democratic con- Yention any votes could be given to Morrison at jallon the first ballot. The Cleveland men claimed, and pointed to Senator Palmer's posi- | tion as their justification, that in all probability the entire 48 votes of Illinois would be cast for the ex-President If this were to be done it would carry the Cleveland vote on the firet ballot }on the basis of the other votes conceded to Gleveland by Hill up to 523. Another state which is given solid to a favorite son in the Hill at the start. to Carlisle. clined to thii even on the first ballot their favorite will get a majority of Kentucky votes. With this arrangement WHAT THE UNCOMMITTED MEX #At. Democrats who are not specially committed gard the Hill figuresas in the main fair, e pecially in the estimate of Hill's strength in im- rtant states. in Ohio, for instance, Cleve- nd is conceded thirty votes, while Hill gets sixteen. This is rather more than some of Cleveland's friends are inclined to claim in Ohio. They say that Cleveland will certainly get twenty-five votes from Ohio and may get a few more than that. Where unprejudiced political students regard the Hill talk as defective and misleading iv in itsclaims of odd votes here and there in unimportant states, such as in Louisiana, Maine, Florida, Oregon, &c. Those who claim to know the feeling in states of this kind say that the Hill people will find their cal- culations sadly awry when they get to Chicago. A Florida man said, for instance, that no one could tell with certainty how the Florida dele- F's 2 Chicago would vote, They were not ly to commit themselves to any one until they got to the convention and had carefully looked over the ground. MR, WARNER CALLS IT A BLUFF. When Mr. John De Witt Warner was asked by a Siar man today what he thought of the Hill table he raid he thought it was « bluff. He said he did not have any table himself. He kept one for some time before the state conventions met, but as he found that the results of these conven- tions were more favorable to Cleveland than he had calculated he gave up keeping « table. Mr. Warner said he did not look for Mr. Cleveland's nomination on the first ballot, nor did he think it made any difference in the final result whether he was nominated on that ballot or not. For his part, he would be as well leased to have him nominated on the fortieth Ecnctacen tae men Eee thought the longer the balloting continued the more certain Cleveland's nomination became. He had heard that some friends of Mr. Cleveland, who had been industrionsly fighting him all along, were now very fearful that if he Were not nominated on the first ballot he would not be nominated at all. But Mr. Warner said he was not at all anxious about it. Whoever was nominated would have to get a two-thirds vote in the convention, which was @ point that seemed to have escaped the attention of those who were opposed to Cleveland. The two- thirds rule, it should be remembered, worked both ways. GOIxG TO CHICAGO. ‘Mr. Warner said he was going to Chicago, but would not leave here until Saturday. Mr. War- ner is one of the most enthusiastic and positive Cleveland men in the House,and when he reaches the convention city there will be a dis tinct enlargement in the Cleveland boom. Gen. Charles Tracey, who is another devoted adherent of the ex-President, loaves Washing- # for Albany on his way to Chicago. Col. O'Ferrall of Virginia will also go to swell the chorus for Cleveland at Chicago, and if he fights for the ex-President as well as be knows how to fight the ex-President will have no more valiant and effective champion in all his hosts in the winds city. Another i i ‘son of the old domin- ion who will join the westward-bound cavalcade is Senator Daniel, who left last night for Rich- mond, where he will join the Virginia delega- tion to ., enator, Daniel fs understood to be as energetically opposed to vel as Col.
