/! y PART ONE TWEN1Y—SECOND YEAR, DEMOCRACY'S FORCES | Port 5o long as he shall bo in the race. Thero is no doubt that he is sincere for the nomina- | 10n of the ex-president, and if Cleveland gets the vote of Illinois on the first ballot it may be credited to General Palmer's work. nto Radiant B Two booms which have blossomed today Ohicago Rapidly Filling with the Leaders and Strikers of the Unterrified, aro causing considerable anxiety to the Cieveland leaders tonight. They are the BOOMS AND BOOMLETS RUNNING WILD | Gorman boom and the Morrison boom, and there is no doubt but that tho friends of both these gentlomen are Iaboring assidiously to bring them into the contest as compromise candidates, Gorman, of course, can -get the solid vote of the Marsland delegation when- ever he desires it, and 1t is assumsad that his &etion in opposing the foros bill in the United States senate‘would cause him to receive a substantial support from the various south- orn delogates, Willlam [, Morrison appears to bo prin- cipally urged by delegates from Kentucky, Arkansas and Texas, and there is no doubt wany more delezates will fesl friendly to him in the eveat of Cleveland’s retirsment. Almost Every Stata Has a Favorite Son and is Putting Him Forward, CANDIDATES BEFORE THE CONVENTION Etatesmen Whose Olaims for Proferment Viill Be Considerd. DOUBTS AND FEARS OF THE BOOMERS The great difficulty under which Morrison labors is that his own state, Illinois, is pledged to another candidate—Ganoral Jolin M. Palmer, The recent Illinois state con- vention, after endorsing ina general way the administration of President Cleveland, declared thatin case it should becomo ex- pedient to come wost for a candidate the Tilinois delogation should support Ganeral Palmer, now tho United States senator for the prairie state. And so it would appear thav Morrison has not much chance to enter the convention with nis own state delegation behind him until afier Palmer shull have been given a thorough opportunity to dovelop a following outside of his own state. Cleveland’s Candidacy tr Bpeculation and Discussi Rival Factions—Ra of the I3 Ject of Much ow York's rs und Gossip Coming Convention Onmtcaao, 1il, June 18.—The opening of eonvention week will find the line of batue olosely drawn aud every candidate seem- ingly assured of the exact strength with which he will enter the contest. Every dele- gation of the forty-tour states of tho union will be on tho ground, and the chief uncer- talnty will be as to the probable action of Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky., Should all of theso states cast their solid support for Clevelana on the first ballot there is little doubt but that he will receive the two-third vote requisite for nomination. But should each of these states, on the other bund, cast the full strength of Its delegation for its favorite son, the probabilities of Mr. Clove- lana’s nomination on tho opening ballot would be very remoto indeed. In the esti- mates given out this evening by some of the Cleveland people, purporting to show that the ex-president 15 reasonably sure of recoiv- Ing the requisite two-thirds on the first bal- lot, it is observed that all of these states aro not credited with alicgiance to their favorite sons. For Cleveland on the First Ballot. A majority of the Illinois delogation ap- pears o be for Cloveland on the first ballot. After that the demand of the Morrison peo- plo that the tariff reformer bo given & chanco would doubtless bs complied with, but the first choico of the delegition ufter Cleveland appears to be Goneral John M. Paimer. Many of Palmer's frionds believe that he must ba nominated as the legatee of Grover Cleveland, if nominated atall, It would be wise for the Illinois delegation not to support Palmer on the first ballot, but re- main loyal to Cleveland until ths nowmination of the latter shall have appeared 1mpossible. ‘Then by the Iliinois delegation voting sol- idly for Paimer thoy believe the Cleveland people would be disposed to come to Tllinos as their socond choico. It is mani- fost, however, that tho Morrison leaders are ulso counting upon the Cleveland following for the support whish will make their candi- date a prominent factor 1 tho race. For this reason thoy are auite willing that Morri- son shall not be brought forward as a_candi- date until after various bailots are taken and the nomination of Cleveland appears impos- sible. And sothe pronosition to vote for Palmer, whenever the nomination of Cleve- land shall appear inexpedient or 1mpossible, finds no particular opposition tonight from the Morrison people, and it is probable that the great tariff reformer will only be ushered into the presidential contest as durk norse after Cleveland shall have been Cleveland's lnexpediency. The aggregate votes of Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky are 104, and thus tho impor- tanco of the vote of these three states can hardly be overestimated. Congressman William M. Springer of Illinois, chairman of the committee on ways and means of the national house of representatives, 1s on the ground, urging that the liiinois delegation, In the interest of expediency, will vote for John M. Palmer on the first ballot and con- tinue their efforts on behatf of the Iilinois leader until o nomination 1s veached. Henry Watterson of Kentucky is understooa to be laboring. with the delegation from the blue grass state i the effort to secure the solid vote of that state for John G. Carlisle, and Senator Daniel Voorhees ot Indiana is making a like demand on the Hoosier state in behalf of ex-Governor Gray, It is | vetired and Palmer shall have received the voported tonight thut the promiuent | lo¥al supportof the Llmols delegation for democratic leaders of these states are | Several ballots. endeavoring to arrange a conference of dele- gations by which it will be mutually agreed bat the nominution of Cleveland is to be de- elared inexpedient, and that the 104 votes which he might otherwise receive from these statos are to ve distributed among the favor- ite sons, Palmer receiving the 48 votes of Tiinois, Carlisle receiving the 26 votes of Kentucky and Gray receiving the 30 votes of Indiana, Free to Act ns They Please. Palmer and Gray were {ormally ecdorsed by their respective conventions as presiden- tial candidates, and they only refrained from mstructing for Cleveland because of the robability that Carlisle might be ushered Into the coutest at the latest hour. Thus the delegations of these three States arc practically free toact as they please in an emergency, and tho groat question of the hour is, will they abandon Cleveland in the Interest of their western. candidates? "The conferences of Indiana deiegates held during the afternoon do not indicato that Gray can possibly securo the unanimous vote an the first bailot, or, indeed, on eny other wallot, unless Grover Cleveland suall have been practically retired frow the race. It appears that Cleveland has about twelve delegates In the Hoosier delegation who will insist on voting for the ex-president from the very beginuing. Despite the efforts that aro ‘teing made to induce them to go ‘with the Uther eighteen men of the delegation and vote solidly for an Indiana candidate, they ehow no signs of weakeuning up to tuis time. And 50 it is not unlikely that this convention may develop ono of the usual fights which bas been s0 common in the past amoug the Indiang leaders, and that the result may be tnat the delegation from that state will go to pieces on the first ballot, giving Clevelana twelve votes, Gray seventeen and John M. Palmer of Illinois one, as one of the northern {ndlana delegates, who is a great admirer of General Paimer and has been woiting many yeurs to vote for him for the presidency, scems to consider it his religious duty to im- brove this time, Kentucky an Unkn antity. The greatest mystery surrounds the Ken- fucky aelegation and no one on the outside scems to mve any very positive ind:cation of the way that state will go. Henry Wat- torson, the great Kentusky editor, has shown that he can be secretive when he wishes, aud the tacitura reply which he has kiven to all iuguiries affords but little indi- €ation of what he and bis fellow leadors of Sbo Bluo Grass state iutend to do. Carlisle has gone to the extent of saying that he views with groat gravity the situation that will be presented by the nominauon of Cleveland, but he does not go as far as to* express the opiuion that the dafeat of Cleye- land will bs the peualty of that nomination. ‘There is no doubt that, with Caelisle out of the race, fully balf the Kentucky delegates are disposed to favor Cleveland. Only the iron will of Henry Watierson could keen them from casting their vote for the ex president, and even Watterson is so uncer- tain of his Influence that it is bolieved he welcomes the candidacy of Carlisle as the only effective meuns of keoping tho Ken- tucky delcgates away from Cleveland. Iilinols & Controlling nfluence, Tilinois, which in the past has been such a vower i the republican convention, is sud- douly assuming a position of almost equal prowinence in the democratic couvention. For this reason every recourse Known to woders politics is being orought to bear by the different factions upon tho delegutes of thestate to control the influence of the dele- Harmony Not to Be Thought of, The events of the day have not been such 85 to give any particular discouragement to the Cleveland leaders, The Tammany organization ‘in the state of New York stands us an_impassive sphynx, warning by its very attitude the democracy of the nation against selecting a presidential candi- dato from the Empire state. The much- boped-for harmony between the two factions in New York shows no signs of realization, and oven the most sanguine Cleveland enthusiasts are forced to admit that the utterances of Tammany leadors do not give any assurance that they will supnort the presidential ticket in the event of Mr. Cleveland’s nomination, It is this solution in this great pivotal state which causes the anti-Cleveland peoble to cry out against the expediency of the ex-president’s renomina- tion; but to some extent the importance of the state of New York iz offset by the latest dvices from Michigan and Kansas. The decision of tho supreme court of Michigan, a majority of the members of which are repub- licans, afirming tho constitutionality of tho Miner law, practically assuros the democrats cight electoral votes this fall from the state of Michigan.

Ex-Governor Glick of Kansas also author- itatively announced in the Cleveland head- quarters today that the democrats of that state would endorse the ticket put up by the people's party and that, therefore, the re- publicans would not roceive an electoral vote from tho whole state. As there promises 10 bo no doubt of the well established fusion between the democrats and people's party in Konsas, the prediction of ex-Governor Glick as to the 0ss of Kansas to tho repub- licans appears to be quite on the lines of probability, And so it is not an unusual in- cident touight to hear esthusiastic Clevelund admirers exclaim in the lobbies of the hotels that Cleveland can bo elected without the vote of the state of Now Yors and chat the regular democracy of the Empiro state should be defied. wn petus by the Arrival of Congressman Springer.

I can tell you procisely how matters stand at the present moment. The anti-Parnell- ites, including Seaton, Dillon, Healey and O'Brien are firm on one point. They ~ill have nothing to do with auy ar- rangement which will not give them the two dozen seats in Parllament now held by the Parnellites, That is their minimum demand. I need not say it 1s bitterly resénted by the followers of Parnell, who now muster thirty in the House of Commons. Their ultimatum 18, ““Give us the seats we have not got, we'll talk about minor matters afterwards.” Botween these two aemands there 1s no possibility of compromise. The deputation which is coming from America shoula kave that fact well in their minds. “But,” I asked an anti-Parnellite, “How can you reasonabiy ask for tbo surrender of twenty-four seats out of thirty? Do you mean to say that the value of Parnell’s ser- vices to the Irish organization is fairly measured by six seats out of a total of eighty-fivet” “Parnell,” said this gentleman, “always had more credit than he deserved. He is supposed to have kept the entire Irish party together. He did nothiog of the kind. He merely looked on while we worked. Tnen he took all the praise. His followers cannot do more than win six seats in the whole Ire- land.” ‘[ said: *““They would do so if the priests wero to stand off. The peoplo ara still Par- nellites, are they notf" Power of the Priests. My friond did not altogether deny it, but the clerical iufluence he felt confident would be supremo in the approaching election aad would be hostile to any man who called him- self a Parnellite. Redmond had gone to America to pick up some money, but would not get much, and what he got woyld do him no good. Tho priests are more powerful thau money. The Parneilites take a different view and say they may be outnumbered at the polls through the exertions of Archbishop Walsh Walsh and his brethren, but they ask, is it certain that the anti-Parnellites can capture their seats! Not at all. The split in the party will result in soxme gains for the unionists, the responaibility for which must rest upon Dillon, Healey & Co. “‘One thing is certain,” said my informant. “that is we shall not voluntarily part with any of our seats. All these men on the other side would be licking Parnell’s hoots now, were he alive, and would be afraid in his presence to cull their souls their own. They fancy they will be able to munage old Glaa- stone, but he is too artful for them Parnell found thatgout long ago. You can never trust that old man. He will get the Healeyits just where ho wants them, and then sell them out. Wo don’t intend to be parties to any such game. We will stick to Parnell’s program. That is our only crime, If the people of [reland dared act up to their own opinions we would sweep the Healeyits clean off the land. Butthe priests get hold of the women, the women 1nfluence their husbands, and it is a bard fight agaiust all that. It is going to be the hottegt fight you ever saw, at any rate since you watched what touk place in committee room 15," Gladstone Is Grim Resolve, “1 bave reason to know that leading supporters of Gladstone not blina to danger thus opened np before them.

The workingmen who waited on him Thursday oo the eight-nour question tried to induce him to relax his determination, but signally falled If ho made thoe Irish question, he told them, subordinate to any other, **he would disgrace nimself to the lowest point to which the nost unprincinted sink,"” Arter that thero then is no hope of getting i to postpone bome rule, even for & fow mouths.

Drumont, the weil known anti-Semite, who accused Deputy Buardeau of accepting a bribe from Baron Rothschild, the deputy being at tho time engaged in drafting a oill relating to the Bauk of France, was promptly prosecuted by M. Bur- deau, and being found guilty was Sentenced threo wonths imprisonment and to pay a flne of 1,000 francs; morcover, the court ordered that the sentence ba published 1n several journals and that the amount of the fine be speat 1n this way, and that for eight days special prominence should be given to the seatence on the fivst page of M. Drumont’s own journal, La Libre Parole. "This i3 cortainly a novel sentenco and one which furnishes ample food for reflection io those journalists who for some time past have indulged far too freely in calumnious and libelous statements. The trial proved there was absolutely no foundation for M. Dru- mont’s accusation, M. Drumont testified that certain persons informed him of the charge against Doputy Burdeau, but these persons testified in court that they knew nothing about the charge, except what they heard from somo other persoa whose identity 1s sarouded in wystery. Under these circumstances a ver- dict of guilty was inevitable. Baron Rothschild’s no Potentate. What makes the case especially remarka- bie, however, is the fact that M. Drumont's attack ‘was really directed against the Rothschilds and the Jews. Baron Rothschild was summoned as a witness and gave his testimony very calmly. “Iam hot & potentats,” he said, “and in finuncial matters I take no step without the assent and co-operation of the other baakers who are my colleagues."” The baron’s entire testimony is emboaied in this simple statement, and absolutely noth- ing more was learned 1n regard to the opera- tions of thosa who are rightiy called the princes of finance. Amoug journalists and bankers the trial caused considerable excitement. "It is cer- tainly a matter of regret that A man of great ability, like M, Dramont, whose talent as an wuthor is well known, should waste his valu- able time in posing as the champion of lost causes and in promulgating ideas which are wholly opposed to the modern spirit of lib- erty and equality. [Por my pari, I do not be- lieve that anti-semitism will ever become popular in Frauce. In the first place, there are not enough Jews in the country to give poople opportunity to criticise and find fault with the Jewish cliaracter, and, 1 the second place, the average Frenchmun is a good deal of an unbeliever aud will never consent to persecute Jews simply on account of their religion. French and British Interests Confliot. The relations tetween France and Great Britain have been very unsatisfactory for some time, and _since the arrival of Lord Dufferin as British ambassador several poiuts av issue have arisen in regard to posscssions of both countries in various purts of the world, These differ- ences sre causing some uneasiness, especially among French statesmon, who fail to see how 1t can be to Lord Salisbury’s interest to assume a hostile attitade toward Irrance ou the eve of the general election in England. The most serious msunderstand- ing between the two countries is in rega to their possessions in central and east Afric: There, indeed, the misunderstanding has assumed the form of a religious war, several conflicts having already taken place between Catholic aud Protestant missionaries, The state of affairs does not redound to the credit of either country, and is cortaiuly not asign that Christianity is making any head- way in Africa. A clearer proof that Lord Salisbury is golng over to the side of the triple alliance, aud ntends to adopt its policy, is the reception to Prince Ferdinand of Bul- garia at London, The prince, as we know, was received with honors that were almost regal, his bost being apparently oblivious of the fact that his claims to royal honors have not yet been recognized by the great powers, Oune result of Lord Salisbury’s action was that the ambassadors of France and Russia declined to actend the breakfast which was @iven by the lord mayor of London in honor of tho prince, the evident reason being be- cause they did not desire to sanctign by their presence an 4ct which was, & say the loast, @ great blow to international courtesy. The aueen aud the members of the royal fawily recoived Ferdinand kindly, and as Lord Salisbury had soveral long inter- views with bim it 1s clear that Great Britain intends to establish safeguards for herself agmnst Russian aggression in the Balkans, and it is equally clear that in doiug so she zainot tail to come toa misunderstanding with Fraoce, which is now closely allied with Russia.

It is known that tho conference was at first suggested by Emporor William at th elate meoting botweoen himself and the czar ut Kiel. Communicas tions on the subject have sinco been ex- chuuged betwoen St. Petersburg and Vienna, which promise to result in tho extending of u formal invitation by the czar to Kmporor Francls Joseph to take part this autumn in the 1mperial hunting oxpedition av Spala, Poland. The utmost importance is attached to the arrangements as tending to modity the Russian ontente with France. ‘The official feeling hove is sanguine enough 10 hopo that a porsonal exchauge of viewt between Bmperor Fravcis Joseph and tho czar will succoed in detaching the latter from his French atliance ana lead to a parmanent settiement of the irritating Balkan question. Nospecial significance is attacned to King Humberv's visit to Berlin, Still at Outs, The latest phaso of the controversy thas has arisen over the roports of a reconelliation between the emparor and Princo Bismarck discloses the hollowness of the whole affair. The West Doautsche Allegemeine Zsitung, Bismarck's new organ in Cologne, denies that any overtures looking to o reconcilia- tion have been made by either side. It says that Baron Stumm, 2 fter the emperor visited him, was the guest of l’rince Bismarck. The baron communicated to the prince cer- tain remarks that had beon made by the emperor disapproving tho tono of certain semi-officiui papers toward the ex-chaucellor. Nothing more was said, excopt that Baron Stumm seems to have suggested that Princo Bismarck tako the ivitiative in seeking to re-establish & reapproach. ment by making some form . of apology to bis majesty. On this™ point, adds tho paper, Prince Bismarck cannot admit, even it the admission lod to his rein- statement in offico, of ever trying to du wrong tothe omperor. It 1stho prince's encmies who ought to ask pardon before tha emperor and the country. Thn internal hise tory of the events which led to Prince Bis marck's retirement from the chancellorship cannot be revealed now, but all precautions have been taien Lo prevent tho future pass ing an incorrect judgment.
