P TWEN1TY—FIR LAUNCHED ON A STORMY SE 1 Democratic Possibilities failing Their Frail Beomlets in Turbulent Waters, CLEVELAND BOOMERS VERY CONFIDENT Dark TNorses Galore, and Every One of Them Ready an axions for the Start =t go Overflowing with Demos cratie Politicians—The Situation. Cimicao, 11, June 17.—There are many presidential barks tossing about on the political sea tonight, but through the mists ond shadows tho hull of Cleveland’s hopes 1oom ominously above them all. Everyvody realizes that tho great question of the con- vention is, “Wili Cleveland be nominated on the lirst ballot?” Should the logic of ovents answer this qQuestion 1n the nogativo the friends of all the candidates will feel tbat the lists are then open to their favorite, for somehow the conviction bas gone forth that tho failure of the ex-president to recelve thoe nomination on the first, ballot meaus the elimination of the great tariff roforiner from the contest. Tne cor- rectness of this opinion is not conceded by the Clevelana managers. Thoy maintain that while they beliove their man will be nominated on the first ballot the failure to receive the requisite two-thirds on that bal- Tot will not be an indication of bissubsequent defeat, for they expeut important accessions from the followers of Boies, Hill and Gray aller their states have paid the compli- mentary tribute to their favorite sons. Democrncy's List of Possibilities, The various presidential candidates, dark horses ard possibilitfes discussed tonight are Cleveland, Hill and Flower of New York, Boies of Towa, Palmer of Iilinois. Gray of Indiana, Gorman of Maryland, Carlisie of Kentucky, Motrison of Iliinols, Campbell of Ohio, Russell of Massachusetts and Pattison of Peunsylvaunia. Cleveland, Hill, Boios, Gray and probably Palmer and Gorman will have a following on the first bollot, but the others figure entirely as dark horses ana compromise caudidate GORMAN'S FOLLOWERS. They Arrive at go—One Reason Why He Will Be Supported. Cnicaao, 111, Juae 17. 'he Gorman move- ment, about which so much has been said in the press, received a now 1mpetus this after- noon by the arrival of Senator Gorman of Maryland, who came to tho Palmer house about 2 o'clock. With him was a party of Maryland dologates, Messrs. Comptou, Brown, Gwynn and Hunt. The senator flatly refused to discuss the political situa- Ex-Governor Brown of Maryland con- fessed this information: ‘“There Is.” he suid, a strone friendliness for Cleveland in Marviend, but our delegation comes to Chicago urinstructed, and if wo seo a roasonable chance to nominato our favorite our people would_expeet us to do our duty. Senator Gorman’s pame will not be used to prevent or forward the nominution of any candidnte. Tho safest thing for you to say is that Maryland has no candidate and her delegates are here to counsel with the demo- crats uvon the question.” In the meantime it 1s evident that & great deal of work 1s being doue for Gorinan, chicfly perhaps from the New York bead- quarters. Not That They Love Gorman. W. J. Black, late speaker of the Indiana aid: **Yes, vou can hear Gorman talk tne pluce. The scnator 1s certainly o possibility, but the time 15 uot ripe to bring him forward yet, and [ thing his friends will probably support the boom until the first ballot shail have cleared the air and showed us where we stand. There are really two partics behind that movement, onesincerely anxious to make Senator Go: man president; the other sincerely anxious that someboay else shall not be president. If the two can combine, it will become a se- rious factor in the convention, but they have not combined yet. You can see thess same two forces ut work for Gray, for Morrison and for others who have been named. I shall not make up my mind as to what is going to happen until I seo how far Cieveland falls behind the two-tbirds vole on the first ballot. Not enough delegations are yet on hand to make missioary work worth the trouble of organ:zing and pushing, butit seems to ba understood at the Cleveland beadquarters that either Gorman, Boies, Morrison, Palmer or Russell will get neces- sary belp from the Tammany directors to en- courage tbelr supporters to coutinue tho fignt. In other words, with much better organization, the same campaign isto be operated in Chicago which was made in Min- neapolis, with the difference that Mr, Har- rison had to have haif the delegates, while Mr. Cleveland must get two-thirds of them.” alter NEW YORK'S FI ACTION Murphy's Manifesto Wakens Up the “Anti- Son Cuicaco, I, June 1 Cho delegates from the Syracuse couvention werea good deal stirred up today over the Murphy manifesto, snd a number of them were prepared with responses to 1t designed to counteract its ef- fect and to show that Cleveland was not only 1he strongest man in the party ia New York, but that he would carry the state and get a large number of independent and republican votes, W. C. Whitnoy of Brooklyn, one of the anti-delegates, said: t Murphwin his interview seems de- sirous of giving the impression that the leaders in the May convention movement have been in the habit of opposing the dem- ocratic state tickets in Now York, and par- ticularly that of 1801, As to this I can only that Mr. Murphy kuows very well the fuct to be tothe contrary, as I can state from porsonal knowledge. Some of LM delogates 1rom the Syracuse convention aro among the best workers for the democratic party, Mr. Murphy says that the ruok and file of the democratic party are prepared to vote against the most” popular domoerat in the country for the presidency because they fear his electicn would pleaso the Syracuso delegation. I will simply say to this that if Mr. Murphy believes what he says he con- sigers bis own followers to be mugwumps und vot democrats, and bis interview is an fusult to the rogulur democracy of tho state of New York, Calls Tammanyites Traltors, *“There are two men prominent in the Hill orgunization who aroregarded with suspicion by the democracy in_general on this point. These gentlomen are Mr, Murphy aud Lieu- tenant Governor Sheehan, I'here is a gen- eral impression in the state of New York that they were treachorous to the national ticket {n 1888, and I think it not unlikely that they will bo so'ugain this year, ““The man who, ‘pretending fo be a friend, slips bis stilletto in' your back,’ is the man who is known only ‘awong Mr. Murphy's own followers; his power for evilis mini- mized this yeor by the uew ballot reform mct. Every other democrat in the state of New York will vote for mr. Cleveland if nominated, Nobody else can bring about this or come anywhere near it. For that rouson, although there are many democra Whouw 1 bave persoually preferred to Clevg- land for the presidential uowination, 1 have no doubt that he is by far the most available candidate for the state of Now York."

Bluine, the writer says, ex- plained himself as unwilling to consider it at all, holding that it was purely a stato affair and that the action of the War department was unwarranted; others wera inclinea to uphold the War department in what it had done. ‘I'he writer concludes his letter by saving that this had more to do with Blaine's with- drawal from the cabinet than anything, and he states this on cabinet authority, and he states that the thing 1s going to cut a big figure in national poiitics this fall, The people of Wyoming, he doclares, neea have no fear of martial law, as the adminis- tration was sick of the whole matter and was anxious to have the prisoners demanded again, and that Blaine's withdrawal from the cabmet would stop any further consideration of martial law aud that the War department would vash its hands of the matter at an early date. The War dopartment was in a suicidal quandary, ho thought, over what to do with the pris- oners at Forv Russell in case Johnson county never demanded them, which it is generally believed Johnson county will never do, but catch them again when turned loose, if they ever are, by the department. LOCAL DEMOCRACY. Omaha's Unwa ed and Unterrifled Going Out in Two Bodies, Democratic delegates of the statcto the Chicago convention are beginning to arrive in the city to meet this evening Governor Boyd and the Samoset club, which will leave theater building. Final arrangements were compleied for the trip. Committees were detailed to meet at the Union depot the Cali- forma delegation, which armves in Omaba on & special train at 11 o'clock this morning. The same committee will also meet the Colorado delegation, which will get b ere at 4 o'clock in the after- noon. All the state delegates will have ar- rived by that time and will go in & body with the Samoset club to the depot just oefore train time, Otner prominent democrats, not delegates, will also accompany the party. Charles Redick of Oklahoma City arrived in Omaha vesterday and will join the party. Mr. Juan Boyle, a democrat of consider- able aistinction at Kearney, 1s here and will RO to Chicago touight. Mr. Bovle has just returned from a trip through Colorado. ~He believes that neither Cleveland nor Hill will be the nominee of the convention. He thinks the choice will be Gorman of Maryland and Boles for second place. “(iorman is a great favorite in Colorado, and in fact west of Nebraska as well as in the east,” saia Mr, Boyle, *I think Gorman the only available man who can carry New York.” Colonel Frauk P. Ireland of Nebraska City, who has recontly been in New York City, is also in Omaha. Gorman man. “I think that Gorman will be the man.” said Mr. Ireland, *‘The leading democrats know they bave to make a strong choice to carry New York and they must bave that state for any chance of victory this fall, and it looks He, 100, is & strong now very mnch like Gorman is the only man who can carry that state. Both Cleveland and Hill bave a large following, but the factional fight will burt both and neither will be available. Cleveland could not carry the stato four years ago und I can’t see what he hus doue since that time to make the party tkink he can doit now. Gorman and Boies will be the ticket, I most earnestly believe, and I think they will be selected after Cleve: land ana Hill receive their complimentary votes.” Jacksonlan Club Preparing. All members of the Jacksonian club are espocially requestea to be present at tonight's A TR e e meeting, 1216 Farnam, also to bring with them such of their friends as may desire to gowith the club to Chicago. The head- quarters of the club at the Paxton hotel will _bo open today and tomorrow for the _informaticn = acd accom- modation of all partics interested.

It was in answer to the speech made at the Republican College club’s banquet to Governor McKinley re- cently. Mr. Bryan passed hurriedly over that part of McKinley's speech which attacked the tariff policy of the democratic party, and then answered the remainder of 1t in detail. SPECULATIN ILLINOIS, i 0 1ts Delegation’s Vote the Subject of Many Conjectures, Cmicaco, 11, fune 17.—7The uncertain atti- tude of tho Lilinois delegation 1s still the subject of much speculation and up to dato only one thing seems dotermined—that the candidate who is the choice of the majority of the delogates will receive the entire forty- cight votes of the state. ‘The lustruations of the state convention were that the delegation vote as & unit on all importaat questions and therois & unanimous resolve to abide by these lnstructions. But upon the question of which candidnte is 10 receive the vote of the state there is differenco of opinion, The instructions of the state conveation ao- clared that in the eveot it should be found expedicnt to come to the great west for & caudidate, the Iliuois delegation should use all honcrable means Lo secure the nomi- nation of General John Palmer. Tho initial question which the delugation 1s to consider at tomorrow’ neeting is to be the judge of the expediency of cowing west for a candi- date, Palmer aud Moreison, ‘The compromise mwost generally discussed @t this time is that after it is decided that eastern candidates sre uot available, Pal- mer shall receive the full vote of Illiuols on .

Y, Ogden ana John Housel were taken pefore Judgs Borgelt this afternoon upon the charge of practicing medicine without a certificate from the State Board of Health, Both are Christian Scientist healors and the fact which led to their arrest was their attendance upon Graaville Sallers, who died at his rosidence, 1743 Q street, on the evening of May 19. Sellers was a firm be- liever n their ability tocure him and refused all medical attendance in spite of the asser- tions of nis family that his case could he successfully treated by regular physicians.

He madea long, rawn- bling talk to tho judge, in which he assertea that disease could be curea by prayer.

Cunacoa, Venezuela (via Galveston, Tex.), June 17.—[By Mexican Cable to the New York Horald—Special to Tus Beg]— 1 am atlast enabled to contirm the news from Caracas, Venezuela, about tho overthrow of Palacio. The verification has just been re- ceived in reply to my latest dispatoh. Palacio has rotired from ofice aad is in hiding somewhoere. According to one story he fled to La Guarya ana wentavoard a ve.sel which was keptin waiting for him. Auother, and I should judge a more reliable account, states that ho has uot yot loft the country. He would have done so but the membars of bis cabinet would not pormit him. They held him rosponsible for the troublo they are in aud say that they will not allow him to run away and leave thom to shoulder tho blame. It was a hard matter to persuade the hot headed dictator thav his power was at an end and that the only thing left for his followers was to pretend compliunce with the will of the peaple, substitute o provisional govern- meat for the d:ctatorship and 1ssue a call to congress to meet and choose his successor as president of tho republic, Pataclo Finally Weakened, Palacio and his ministers had many meot- ings before the latter could prevail upon him to follow their advico. He would never have given in to them had it not been for the re- vort of disasters thick and fast that came in from tho vattiefield. Deofoat after defeat weakened Palacio’s determination and finally he acnounced that he would abide by nis cabinet’s decision, They said that the first step for him to tako was to rosign. Acting upon this sug- gestion he handedin his notice of retirement. The next thing was to choose bis temporary successor. Naturally their choice was Vice President Pillegos, who was presont at the conferenco. He declined. Ho did not propose, he said, to offer himself up as & martyr. He could not, in justice to himself, accept the responsibility. This threw the meetiag into consternction for some time. The cabinet could not think of anyonae to fill the perilous post. At length one of those prosent suggested Minister ot War Sarria. After some hesi- tancy he acceptea, but on the condition that Palacio should do as he sald. This was agreed and then Sarria made known his plan. It was that Palacio should go into hiaing, the secret place to be known only to the memvers of his cabinet, who promised not to voetray him to his enemies. When the dictator had reached his refuge Sar- ria was to publicly anunouuce Palacio's retirement, declare, submission to his people and call uvon congress to name the next president. This was accordingly done, The result is not satisfactory to the revo- lutionists, who declare that the prosent con- gress 1s filled witn men who were not elected aud that the new president must be chosen by the representatives, legally chosen to the national logislature. Crespo and his army are meanwhile continuing their march upon tho capital.
