| [ THE OMAHA O £ TWEN1TY—SECOND YE HE TOOK CRESPO'S ADVICE | Palacio Pulled Out When the Victorious Rebel Leader Suggested It. TERMS DICTATED TO THE EX-DICTATOR Given n C.Ance to Resign the Prestdency and Leave the Country—Revolutionists Completely Successtul in Venezuela, |Copyrighted 1892 by James Gordon Bennatt.\ BarcrLosa, Venezuela, (via Galveston, Tex.), Juuo 19.—(By Mexican Cable to the New York Horald—Special to Tar Bre.|— Tuave been trying for the past five days to communicate with you by cavle from this town, but the censorshin over all dispatches has been so severe that 1 have not hadan opportunity to send you any word until to- day. The news of Palacio’'s retirement from the dictatorship has just been received bere and has had the effect of removing the rigid restrictions hitherto observed in the telo- graph office. 1 am thus enabled to transmit such advices as have reacted me up to date. Thero was terrific fighting ail along the line the other day & few longues west of Caracas, between Crespo's veterans and the government troops. Palacio's soldiers were defeated at all voints and utterly routed. The victorious rebels kept up a hot pursuit of their defeated foe to within two leazues of the capital. They showed no mercy. but slaughtered all of the enemy whom they could overtake. The route of the flee- Ing government forces was marked with scores of dead, dying and wounded soldiers. The prisoners captured by the revolutionists In this battle amounted to 800. Put Palucio in a Bad Fix. Generals Ybarra ana Pinto were informed of the fight and hurried with all their avail- able forces to the rescus of Palacio’s army, but it wos too late to affect the result of the engagement. General Rodriguez also was enrouto to render what beip ho could to the government troops, but was prevented from doing so. When the news of the defeatof bis men reachod Caracas Palacio immediately ordered out 2,000 sol- diers and a battle was expocted at any mo- ment between them and the advanc- Ing revolutionary posts. It certainly world hive tuken placo had ot tleneral Managa’s troops refused to attack the rebels. Managas thereupon went at once to tue Casa Amarilla, or presigent’s house, and had an interview with Palacio, in the course of which the former plainly stated the facts in the case, so as to justify his action in not attacking the encmy. “It is useless,” he sald in his blunt soldierly manuer, to the-dictator, “to shed any more blood in this strugzle. My men are raw recruits and few in number com- pared to the forces on the other side. These recrults appreciate the folly of try- g to whip Crespo's trained veterans —men who are well drilled, well armed, enthusiastic aud born fighters. 1 could @o out and give them battle but the result would be the speedy victory of the revolutionists and the ruthless slaughter of my men. 1 cannot lead them to the certain death that would overtake them. The rev- olutionists are very strong—we gre very weak. They are gainng in the capital every day. Already they have resched Las Tegues. Other bodies of them are marching upon Caracas from the south and east. All hope is gone for us. We can- not keep them vack. We must acknowledge ourselves beaten and capitulate or flee for our hves.” Crespo's Terms to Palacio. While the plain spoken Managas was thus cooly stating the hopelessness of the case, messengers arrived from General Crespo with letters to Palacio. The wise Crespo sald that he was certain of victory, but would offer certain proposals, 80 s to allow Palacio a last chance o make terms, The propositions were that the dictator should at once remove all his commanders from Ciracas and other cities still under coutro. of bis government named by immedintely the to be should prisoners from aud appoint successors Crespo; that Palacio release all political Caracas and other prisons; ih should retire from office in fa Vice President Villegas, und fiLally, that ho should give orders that a manifesto be fssued for the recall of congress, so that it might regularly choose a lawful succtssor to the presidency In return espo promised that he would guarantee that tue life of Palacio would be spared. Palaclo Promptly Resigned, In an nour after this inteiligence was re- ceived the federal council met ana received Palacio's resignation snd called upon Vice President Villegas to assume temporary power. Villegas dochined, unless he was allowed to form a new cabinet. It was then bought that Iturbide, the second vice presi- dent, would aceapt the office pending Cres po's arrival in Caracas. 1 have since learned tbat Villegas has been prevailed upon to take charge, Palacio having been forced into re- signing. Goneral Managas offered him an escort of 1,000 soldiers to La Guayra, which the ex- dictator gladly accepted. ~Crespo is expocted hourly in Caracas. An order has already Teen issued recalling the congressmen whom Palncio banished. As coon as they bave re- turned to Venezuela cougress will convene sud clect the new president, TRUMBULL'S CHARG Ths Imputations Aga t America's a Sweot Morsel for Chill, Varrakaiso, Caili (vis Galvestof® Tex.), June 19, [By Mexican Cable to the New York Herawld-—-Special to Tue B )—Both Mimster Egan ana Consul McCreery appear disturbed over the publication of the T'rum- bull letters. They bave been transiated by £l Mercurezand El Hersede tnto Spanish for onor the gbenetit of Cuilian readers, Lieuten- snt Harlow s also implicated in the Trumbull charges as the sender of the alleged pross dispaiches 1o &0 American newspaper. Trumbull asserts tbat-be bas documents in his possession to prove that Consul McCreery lauded trom the United States craiser San Fraucisco after her return from Quentioros, and gave fuformation of the disembarkmeut of the junta's troops at that point to Admiral Viel, to various exchanges and to brokes, Cougressman Breckouridge writes to Trumbull that he will pursye the iuvestiga- tion to the bitter ead, in order to clear the boner of the United States. Chilians are pleased with Brockenridge's prowised inves- tigation. Wheun congress moeis there will not be, it 1s alleged, the least dificuliy to obtaio full evidence here ugainst Egan, Mc- Creery and Harlow.

Tremendous Ove cellor By on Given the Ex-Chan- thusiastic Citizens, 1Copyrighted 1892 by Jane: Gordon Bennett.\ Paius, June 19.—|New York Heraid Cable —Special to Tir Bir]—We learn from dispatches that tho ovation which Prince Bismarck received at Dresden surpassed anything of the kind ever seen in that city. *1 desire that every hour which Prince Bismarck spends in the capital shail be de- voted to festivities, were the king of Saxouy's instructions. More than 20,000 persons surrounded tho rail- road dopot and accompanied Prince Bismarck to his hotel, grecting him mean- while with such manifestations of unbounded enthusiasm that he was obliged to show him- self twenty times on the balcony. 7The crowd sang “Wie Konute ich Sich Verges. sen’’ (“How coula I forget thee'”) and Bis- marck tried to reply, but was prevented by his emotion. In the morning the ex-chancellor received a delogation from tbe municipality and in re- pl¥ to congratulations he pointed out that he wis an old man who bhad experienced much S0rTOW. “1 represent the past which has van- istod,” he continued, ‘“‘and 1 will never again euter public life. Germany is now a great and glorious country, but due recognition mustalso be given to France, England eod Russia for what they have achieved in peaco as woll as in wa The ex-chancellor did not say & word about Emperor William aod he onded bis speech by wishine long iife to the king of Saxony, and at 11:20 o'clock ho started for Vienna. This ovation is of considerable political importance, Dresden has always been most faituful to the empiro, but, as we see, she has on this occasion very cleveriy shut ner eyes to the emperor's policy. Asa resuit, the emperor’s churacter being what it is, it is quite possilo that serious complica- tions wmuy arise within the empire, Jacques St. CenE. FOREIG FINANCIAL REVIEW. Business for the Week Qalet—An Impetus Given to American Necurities, Loxvox, June 19, —During the past week discourt was unchunged and inactive. Toe superabundance of money appears likely to continue uatil the dram 1o America com- mences. The general tendency was upward. British bonds were quiet. Bank of Englauds foll 34 points owing to the diminished in- come received under the new arrangoment to manage government business, Foreign se- curities were stronger. English railway securities were irregular with a downward tendency. American rail- roads were 1n strong demand in consequeuce of a favorable crop report from the United States, and the disquieting statements from Russia regarding the new harvest, Canadian railway securities were firm. The securities of the Mexican railway were duM and suffered a fractional docline. The 1ssuc of the Canadian goverument 3 per cent lonn is a great success. T'ne loan has been subscribed for three times over and is now quoted ut a premium of 13 per cent, Bexuy, June 19.—Business on the bourse during the woek was active. Foroign secar- ities were firm. Iron shares were 1n little demand. Short exchange on London, 20.5: loog exchauge on London, 20.33; private discount, 2. Frangrort, June 10.—On ths bourse during the past week business was quiot. Short exchunge on London, 20.33; private giscount, 21{. Pamws, June 19.—The past week was a quiet one on the bourse. International stocks cenerally advanced and raiway securities continued gaining, showing an_average rise of 15 francs. The Credit-Foncier has applied 10 the government for authority to reduce the interest on certan communal loaus originally contracted for with it at a high figure and in return asks permission to with- draw 21,000,000 francs from its reserve and to bind debior communes not to rodeem their loaus before the specified dates. The govern ment regards the proposition favorably. SUICIDE OF A FORMER ACTOR. Marc J, ¥ dleton Ends His Life at Cleve- 1a 0. CreveLaxn, O., June 19.—The body of Mare J. Pendloton, who was known as one of the most orilliaat actors in America, was found this morning 1n Wade park with a re- volver and a bottle of chloroform by his side. A letter in his pocket to his wife showed it to be o case of suicide. Pendleton was 43 years od. In 1876, while oz tho stage, he clandestinely married Miss Ailce Wortningion daughter of George Worthiagton, a_millionaire resi dent of Euclid avenue. The Wortuington family became reconciled to the secret mar- riage und io deference to their wishes he left the stage, Last December he suffored au attack of paralysis, from which he never rocovered. D:spits the efforts to keep the act from him, ho learned that his case was incurable and that insanity was overtaking him.

Depew left Washington at4 o'clock this afternoon. There is still just as mucn uncertainty with regacd to the Guestion as to whether he will be the next secretary of stateas there was when he arrived here. I is pretty well established, however, that the office was offered to him, atthe conference he had with tho president yesterday, at least in the tentative fashion, aud that no defiite answer was returned to the proffer. Mr. Depew has taken the matter under consideration and whether be will accept or mnot only he can tell at the present writing. There 1s ground for the belief thut he sugzested to the president that he could be of more service to the ad- ministration in New York outside of the cabinet than he could iuside. The general opinion here seems to be agajnst the idea that be will become the premier, and Senator Hiscock said tonight that he did not believe that Mr. Depew would take the secretary- ship if it had been offered to him. Committee on Notification Several members of the committee of no- tification of the president on his renomina- tion have arrived in the city, including Hon. ‘W. I, Durbin of Indiana. But the cuair- man,;Governor McKinley, has not yet reached Wasbington. He will come tomorrow morn- ing in time to accompany the committee to the white house At noon, when the inter- esting ceremony will take place. The sundry civil expense bill wuich tas passed tho house provides for certain changes in the salaries of federal employes: Clerks of the United States district and circuit courts are allowed a salary out of the fees of £3,000 a year and necessary clerk hire; commissioner of circuit court $1,500 a year out of its fees; no clerk or deputy clerk can act as & commissioner excent where total fees of all such oftices shall not exceed 2,500 & year, District atlorueys may recrive 4s o salary out of the fees of the ofice $6,000 a ar if fees reach thatsmount. It is pro- vided that no person who holds an office or employment under the government shall re- ceive compepsation for discharging the duties of any other office or employment, nor shall such person hold more thaa one oftice of profit at the same time, A bill bas passed second reading 1n the senate providing for a readjustment of sal- aries of United States court’ clorks. The clerk of the United States circuit and districts courts of South Dakota shall receive $3,000 monually; of Idaho, $3,500: of the southern district of Towa circuit court, 82, 500; district coury, £1.500; northern district of Towa, £2.000; at Sioux City, &00; at Cedar Rapids, §500; of circuitand district court in Kansas, $2,600. The clerk of the United States circuit and district courts for the dis- trict of Nooraska, if the senate bill becomes @ law, shall receive a yearly salary payable quarterly of 4,000 respectively. Tnese are now fee offices. It is thought that tue sen- ate and house committees Wwill compromise on 3,500 as the sonual salary for the last uamed office. Original—John F.

Otherwise the Tus- carorers purposed decorating the wigwam with a few Mormon scalps. The Mohawks of Leadville joined the Tuscaroras in a ghost aance around a bor- rowed scalp of a gold bug. Large accessions to the ghost dancers were had in the afternoon. The Samosets of Omaha arrived at 1 p. m. and went to their tepee with whoops, yelis and music by the band. At dusk 600 Tammany braves ar- rived and 900 at9 p. m. The enthusi- asm among the braves for their Messiah is equalled only by their grim determination to dig up the hatchet suould Cleveland be chosen chieftain. Yelled for Belva Lockwood. Evening services of a differant charactar. though political, were held at the west entrance of the postoffice, within fifty yards of the democratic headquarters. A tall, slender, gray-bearded minister of the Baptist persuasion with & piercing, caturrhal voice, extollea the virtues of Harrison, his lofty Christian character, and the ennobling qualities of his homs life. Just as the clerical gent was rounding an eloguent ex- hortation to the democratic sinners to repent before it was eternally too late, arude scoffer on the back peaches broke tho spell with a yell or Belva Lockwood. The sentiment for Cleveland seems to overwhelm the opposition. There is no unity of action or concentration of the men opposed to Cleveland’s nomination. Pushers of the various feeble booms endeavor to stem the tide with little success, They declare Cleveland caanot sccure the nomination on the first ballot, and that nhis forces will im- mediately divide. Judge Kinne of the Iowa delegation voiced this feeling by declaring that Cleveland was losing ground and will not obtain as many votes on the first ballot as conservative estimates allow him, Cleveland’s Opponents Decelved, The opponents of Cleveland deceive them- selves or are putting a bold front on what is seemingly a hopeless cause. It is a signifi- cant fact that all but the rabid of Cleveland’s opponents concede him 500 votes on the first ballot. His supporters claim 56), or within forty-eight votes of the necessary two- thirds. Thatenough votes will be trans- ferred to him before tue bailot is completed is generally believed. Evidence of the strong tide in Clevelana’s favor is to be found in the Nebraska delega- tion. Estimates of the preferences of the various delegations, compiled by Hill's supporters, divide the Nebraska delegation in two— eight for and eight against Cleveland. Toe estimate of Ellery Auder.on, leader of the “anti-snappers,” place ten of the delegation in the Cleveland column and six azaiust, Doubtless there was good grounds for ine division. Nebraska for Cleveland, 1questioned several members of the dele- gation this eveniug on their preferences and found them uvanimous for Cleveland, They denounced the various estimates of their preferences as baseless. Governor Boyd, who was classod among the autis, smd the sentiment of the Nebraska state couvention was overwhelmingly for Cleve- land, and the delegation would, io all proba- bility, voice it to & man. Tho Nebraska delegation will meet &t 4 p. m. tomorrow sud map out its plan of action. T.J. P GROWING BRIGHTER FOR HIM, Cleveland Making » Great Strength, Cuicaco, 11, June 19.—~The star of Grover Clevelaud is in the ascendency tonight. Every shift in the political constellation in the past twenty-four hours has only tended 1o make it shine forth with greater lustre, Showing of until this evening the efulgence of its rays quile obscures the lessor light of HLl, Boies, Gorman snd Gray.- The Sab- bath day has beeu observed by the apostles of 1ariff reform rather Lo the temporary wel- fare of their forces than to their Christian weal. When the church vells toiled wa the early morning it found the lenders engaged 1o an eager couference in the darkened char- bers of the botels aud wheu they tolled for the evening service 1t found these confers ences stll contipulug with uuvabated in- torest. For One Final Struggle. The opponents of the ex-vresident are to \ to muster from all\ § opposition a phalanx of Jelogates to stan, % and prevent Cleve- land receiving the 11 aite two-thirds vote on the first ballot, “ihoy are somehow im- bued with tuis conviction, and the conviction 18 ratber goueral—thatif Cleveland fails to receive the nomnation on tho enthusiasm of theopening ballot he will, on the succecding ballots, show losses instend of gains, and that the disiutegration of his forces will be only a question of time. But the day has shown that the Uleveland forces are swelling rather than diminishing, and tonight the rauk and tile of ,the Cleveland forces are rejecting with disdain the council of those conservative leaders who warn them agajust possivle defeat 1n nominating Cleveland in the face of Tammany, and reply by avowing that the ox-president is the candidate of the nation, and that bis destiny is above tho sway of uny particular state or faction Violent Altercations Frequent. Violent altercations are frequent occur- rences in the lobbies of the leading hotels and ail the enthusiasm of the hour is with Clevelaud. The Tammany men who have so constantly warned the democrats, that the nomination of Cleverand meavs the lcss of the electoral vote of New York in Novem ber, are waved majestically away by the Cleveland enthusiasts, who declare that the grent oxpoucnt of tarifl reform gan be elected, if he must, withou toe electoral vote of the Empire state, And so in the impetuosity of the Cleve- land movement, the wavering dolegates who huve becu inclined to desert the ex-president and go fora compromise candidate on tho ground of party expediency have been won buck to their first love, and tonizht the names of Gorman and Campbell and Russell, which were so frequently aiscussed a day or two ago as dark horses, to come into the political fleld as the inheriwors of tho great New York leader, are scarcely meutioned in the political prodictions. Dwinaled Down to Three. The only avowed candidates in the fleld tonight are Cleveland, Hill aud Boies, and the situation is cleared up to the extent of indicating plainiy to all that the dark horses are not 1o be ushered into the political arena unless Cloveland shall fail of a nom- ination on the first ballot. The Illincis delegation, under the direc- tions of Goneral John M. Paimer, tho canaidate of the Prairie state, will vote for Grover Cleveland on the first bullot, and possibly in the various succeeding ballots, so long as the ex-president shall bo in the race, This announcement, which is unofficially wade from the lilinois headquarters today, has given a great impetus to the Clevelana movement and the leaders are asserting with great confidence that they have now assur. ances of the two-thirds vote reguisite for nowination. Indiana bas given unmistakable evidence that its delegation will not act as a umt, and that Gray will hardly receive more thau seventeen or cighteen votes from that state, the remaining twelve or thirteen being cast for Cleveland. As_ ex-Governor Campbell has taken par- ticular pains to suncunce that under no cir- cumstances will he allow his namo to enter the Jist of presidential candidates, the Cleve- land people are reiying explicitly upon two: thirds of the votes of Ohio being cast for the great tariff reform leader. So that from Tllinois, Indiane and Ohio sloue there seams assured for Clevelaud over seventy votes which appeared to be wavering yestorday, Watterson's Influence. Kentucky, the other doubtful state, still looms up as'a prominent factor in every es- timate. The power of Heury Watterson seems to have au_influence on that delega- tion, anc while many of its members are very friondly to Cieveland, the conservative triénds of the ex-president are not yet rely 10g implicitly upon a very substantial sup- port from the Blue Grass state. Jowais still true to Boies—so loyal, indeed, that even the most sanguine of the Cle lund leaders have absudoned hopes of rccov ering auy support from the Hawkeye state in the great preluninary battle of the first ot. The seventy-two votes of Now York are concedea to Hon. 1. B. Hill, and it appears probuble thut he might receive a couple of hundred more from varions sections of the union. Cleveland people are no longer iu- dulgiogin any bopes tuat the Hill managers will magnanimously receds from their past position and submit to the nomination of Cleveland, but are now using_ every cffort to placate the Tummany leaders, ana induce their loval support of the ticket in the event of Clevelaud’s nomina- tion. This is manifest by a shight change in the disposition of the Tammany leaders. They ure uo longer talking so loudly and so continuously of the hopelessuess of carrying New York for Cleveland in the event of his nomination, and although no one doubts their intention to loyally support Hill to the eud, ex-Secrotary Whitney and others to- might express the belief that in the event of Cleveland’s nomination Tammany will acquiesce and give the ticket visible and effective support. Gorma; Wasted Boom. Tke Gorman bloom budded prematurely ana has been uipped by the early frosts of adverse criticism. The Cleveland people of the south, who are loyal and earnest, rather resented the insinuation that Gormau's past opposition to the force bill was destined to attract to his standard the Cleveland people of the south, and the result of the two oays’ campaign of the senator’s secret workers has not shown a score of outspoken Gorman dele gates in the whole south outside of the sen- ator's owa state of Maryiand, The senator bas mimself emphatically denied his candi- dacy aud says the vote of Maryland will be cast for Clevelund. There has been s marked subsidence, too, in tbe Morrisou boow, whicn caused a flutter among the western ud southern delegates yesterdav. The friends of tho great ex- leader of the house of representatives main- tain today that it is the desire of Morrison that the 1lhnois delegation stould support Grover Cleveland lovally, as long as there is a probability of his nomination, and os Senator Palmer, to whom tho 1llinos delega tion is committey, is urging the samo thing, there scems no likelibood that tue Iilinois vote wili be cast for either of these favorite sons on the first batlot, Indeed, the fourteen votes of [ilinois have been snified from the Goubtful to the Cieveland columu in every estumate today, aud the prairio state has been most potential in turning the tide for Cleveland just at this junctur CALIFORNIA AND MICHIGAN, Both States Declare Emphatically for Ex-Fresid t. Cmicaco, 1., June 19.—The California delegation arrived this afterocon and av ouce opened its headquarters at the Audi- torium, where uative wines and other beverages were aispensed with Califoruia prodigality. “California’s delegation will cast eighteen votes for Grover Cleveland,” said W.

HE WILL LABOR FOR THE EX-PRESIDENT With Illinois' Vote the ‘“Logioal’ Oandie date is Sure of Nomination, STARTLING NEWS TO THE HILL BOOMERS They Do Not Relish the Courss of the Illinois Statesman, PALMER'S REASONS FOR WITHDRAWING Cleveland, Thinks, Can o Elected Without New York, and Will Carry Ilinols—Tammany Leaders Recelve the News with Consternation, Ciicaco, ML, June 19.—Like a shot from an ambush came the announcementto the Hill managers that Palmer had arrived in the city, withdrawn from the presidential coutestand requested that the forty-eight votes of Iilinois be oast for ex-Prosident Cleveland. This means that the strongest of the doubt- ful states of the west are for Cleveland and that forty-eignt votes will be added to the column which1s already dangerously near the two-thirds line. Senator Palmer's arrival was unexpected. His visit to the city is for the sole purpose of effecting the nomination of the ex-president, to whose cause he has been siucerely devoted ever since the opening of the prosidentinl campaizn, Palmer Talks. To an Associated Press representative Senator Palmer said: 1 have come here to asi the Illinois delegation not to antagonize Cleveland, but to obcy the wishes of the democrats of the state of Illinois and fight for lim and nominate him. Above all I do not want any defection in the delegation or ranks of the [Uinois democracy. 1want the statoto be carried for Cleveland, and 1 have no doubt it will be if he is nominatea by the convention. I have come here to consult with our delega tion to the end that there may be unmited and concertod action. 1 have always been for Cleveland, =nd still beliove that he is the man to nominate. 1 have tried to divest my- sclf of all personal interest in the matter, and my great anxiety is that we should now have harmony 1n the party throughout the state because 1 velieve we will carry Illinois if we donot handicap ourselves. And 1 do not be- lieve [with emphasis| that it 1 necessary to have a local candidate to carry Illinois. My idea is that whatever the Iilinois delegation does should bo done as a unit, Tho democrat state convention evideutly believed that we should make an honest attempt to nominate Cieveland befors the delegation made an attempt to nominate me. 1 believe in contributing to his nomination by giving him the sotid vote of Illinois. S0 lot us go abead and nominate him by mving the forty- eight votes of Illinois, The tursing point is about reached and the vote of Dlinois is likely to decide the question in Mr. Cleve- land’s favor.” Two Ways of Doing It. ““There are two ways of disposing of this question,”” said Senatur Palmer, in reply toa question. “One is to nominate Cleveland and lose New York if the democrats so de- cree it, and the other 1s to nominate him ana clect him without the vote of Now York if Lie must be elected without it. Suppose that Illinois comes to the front aud supports Cleveland, 1f he bo nomiuated by the con- vention, why, after that these New York democrats have eitber got to work for Cleve- land or go out of the party. 1f they donot support him they will be too dead to be kicked by an army mule. 1 huve no douby they will support him.” ‘I have come out,” Palmer, “'to talk over this the Iilinois delogation. 1 firmly believe that Cleveland can be elected if ha is nominated. Leaving the electoral voto of Now York out for the sake of argument, I think Cleveland will carty Massachusetts, Lllinois, Wiscon- sin and New Jersey., If Cleveland is nom- inated 1 will stump the state of llinois up to the last hour for Lim, and 1 tell you that we will make Illinois hotter than it has beon since the prairie fires.” Tulked it Over w resumed Senator thing fally with hthe Delegat Immediatehy after Palmer's arrival in the city he repaired to the headquurters jof the Hlinols d ‘egation, sud was in conference with the delegates until after midoight.

Oue reason for this fact is thut Tammany has culled off all of its wori. ers and is lymg completely quiet, having done nothing whatever all day long. The Gormun movement, which would naturally be confined to Maryland, was pusbed by Tammany’s ovangelists, aod tho fact tha Tummany bad apparcatly ceased fighting is nowbere moro evident than in tho sudden collapse of the favorite soms who were talked of S0 much on Saturday, In Arkansas, where Gorman was 10 bave Liad two votes, ho will now have none, sccording to Judgo Rose of that state, whe says that all the batlots will €0 1o Clevelsnd.
