Whitney, of New York, be lieving that be is the man next to Cleve land who can carry the state of New York and the United State. We ( 'h 1 i f urn i.ms are of tlie opinion that Goruinn's chances are not so bright as they were Sunday, and we furtlur believe that Hill's friends will settle on Morrison." Meeting f silver States. The silver states held a meeting in the Colorado headquarters yesterday after noon. Bepreaentative from the follow ing states and territories, with full power to act, were in attendance: Colorado, Ne vada, Montana, Idaho, New Mexico, Aii rona, and I'tah. Kansas, and Nebraska were also represented, bat the delegates from those two states had no authority to mini trieir states loany programme which Bight he arranged. James li. Orman, of Pueblo, who represents the radical free silver element, said that unconditional de mands would be made for a free silver plank in the platform. Two Other states Polls. The Nebraska delegation at its meeting was polled. Twelve delegates Voted for Cleveland, three for Gorman, and one for Pattison. At a meeting of the Alabama delegation, which is important owing to the fact that the state leads the roll call the poll Mood: Cleveland, 15; Hill, 7. The poll wns an informal one. town's Claims and Pleil Ron. The low a delegates held a brief caucus yesterday morning, at w hich several of the visiting committees reported that they had received considerable encouragement. No resolutions were adopted. ''We an- claim ing no more than the vote of Iowa for our candidate," said DelegateiBt Large Martin, "but we have pledges that will bring his vote up to 90 or perhaps more on the first ballot." . Story Tol.l on Teller. One of the arguments being used among the silver men in Gorman's interest Sm i -Hay night was one which even Tom l'at terson. of Cclorado, would not accept. It was the Statement that .Senator Teller had said to a southern senator that if Gorman was nominated he would advise the He publican voters of the silver states to support the Democratic ticket. Patterson said frankly that be did not believe the story, and proved to be justified in his nnliellet, as telegram horn Washington says that Teller repudiates the statement in toto. FIGUREING ON SIX HUNDRED. Tliat Is the Latest Estimate for the First Itallot Tin- Ant i-sn .p.. The Cleveland managers held a uri:i!nl- fit.. . .. . . up last nmnt mh in. rooms oi w.c.Whit- ney at the Richelieu it was announced by authority of Chairman B rice t hat t he national committee had settled the vexed question f admitting the 'anti-snap" del egates from New York by giving them Mnta directly In the rear of the regular delegation and assigning 100 se.vts for friends of the "auti-Miai pcrs." This was halm to the souls of the Cleveland men, but the delegates w ill hardly be given a vote. Went Over the Vi.!c. At the "ronnd-np" thdVe were present the (nil committee of f. rtj who have been in charge of i In-campaign, and the vote for the ex-president was gone over for the last time, said Whitney Without the vote of Maryland the table footed up over 60(1, enough to nominate Cleveland on the first ballot. The Mate men! was made that Maryland would cast its vote for Cleve land, Gorman having said that this would be done. Hut in the absence of official as surance on this score the votes were not included in the table. Of course there were none counted from Iowa, but the opinion was expressed that liefore the bal lot was taken Governor Roies would re leave his delegates from the pledge to sup port him, and that the Hawkcye votes would go to swell the total for Cleveland. Calls the Situation a Kout. One of the gentlemen present at the hotel snid: "It has turned into a rout. There won't be enough left of the other fellows to make it interesting." In view of the fact that the Cleveland vote will so largely predominate in the convention it was decided not to contest the election of W. C. Owens, of Kentucky, as temporary chairman, lint it was further decided to make W. I Wilson, the famous West Vir ginia tariff reform congressman, perma nent chairman. With this understanding at 11:80 the conference adjourned. Looks Like ii Katitlralion Meeting. The Ohio delegation held a caucus last night and a long one. Henry L. Davis, who bad been w ith the delegation trying to work up a combination against Cleve land, came out during the caucus and was immediately tackled for news. He was asked: "How does the delegation stand:'" "About the same BS usual," he replied. "One-third for Cleveland and two-thirds for somebody else, but they can't tell Who." LOOKS LIKE A FORLORN HOPE, But Tammany In I ight iug with Hie En ergy of Despair, Chicago, June 21. The strength of the Cleveland feeling was so great last night that a great many people expressed the opinion that Hill's name would not go before the conven tion. Murphy said positively that it would. Later in the evening Murphy. Croker and He Witt (who has been se lected to present the ( name of Senator Hill) held a meet ing and decided definitely that Hill would stay in the BiCHARD CRO: race and that DeWitt would make the nominating speech. Senator Daniel, of f,iVk sen, Latest U. S. Gov't Report. Baking Powder Virginia, was decided upon to second the nomination. The New York delegation met at 10 o' lock last night in secret ses sion to receive the report of the chairman of the com nitteea selected to vi9it the delegations from other states. Colonel Fellows reported no progress with Illi nois, and the majority of the other chair men reported practically the same results. Fellows had visited the southern men, but he had found that the Unit rule pre cluded their MHing for Hill. At the close of the meeting, after retOlving to stand by Hill, the lead rs retired. Murphy Mill Not Admit Defeat. With a ten.' tity that was remarkable the the Hill men remained faithful to their leader, and in the face of admissions by delegates and Tammany men w ho were not delegates that they were beaten, went right ahead w ith theii missionary work. Kepresentativ ! Fellows missed his evening meal in order to have some Confidential conferences la -t night. When Chairman Murphy was confronted w ith Whitney's statement last night that he would forfeit anything that could lie named if Cleve land was not i ominated on the first ballot he said: ' Whitney is a false and bad prophet. We ire not issuing statements, but we are ii ing good work that will show for itself " A Couple of Men Who "Own I'p." Rut Murphy s courage did not extend to his followers. Senator Ahearn, of New lork, a member of Tammany, said: 'What the use talking. We have fought hard and we are s, oeaieu and we might as well ad mit it." The Up state New Yorkers were almost all of the opinion that they were out of the race, and there were many sugges tions of withdraw al and hopes that , i : i i i . . 1 .1 u ii iii irivnui woald make Cleve land's nomination unanimous. (Jen cral.Iohn S. Farns- f I EDWARD Ml'I PUT. svortli. Senator 1 lill's personal representa tive, arrived from Washington on the af ternoon train Mid brought some personal letters to the leaders. General Farnsworth refused to talk about his errand. Secre tary of State hice. of New York, was heard to say to Dr. David Kennedy, of New York, at the door of the committee room: "Well, loctor. we are beaten." Despite all this t lie Hill men are working for votes. THOSE WHO WILL NOMINATE. Governor Abbott Will Name Cleveland and DeWltl of Brooklyn, Hill. The names of he nu n who w ill nom inate the candl lates is announced. As stated in the rep. rt of the meeting of the Indiana delegation, Yoorhees will second Cleveland.

William C. DeWitt, of Brooklyn, will present the name of David H. Hill. It will be the third name pre sented. Favorite Som Are Not in It. The favorite son itisiness seems to have died the death and there is but one left apparently Roies. Palmer's action in coining here for th? express purpose of stiffening the wavering backbone of the Illinois delegation I as made the nomina tion of Cleveland s it h a matter of almost certainty, so the c aim is made, that the other favorite sons cannot see any show, and of course do not want to go into the list simply to be i nhorsed at the first, ahock. There doesn't seem to be any chance for combin; tions, which are the Very life of the favorite son. Daauoasbe tt uak for ito.'p. The Brst presentation will be of Horace Roies, of low a. Through Hon. John F. Dun combe, of Fort Dodge, the state will name her favorite son. From p res ent indication', only three names will be presented to the convention. For in spite of the fact that early yesterday morn ing there were in numerable ru mors flying round y to the effect that Gorman would be J. F. DCSCOMBE. named, and that he was forlorn hop-- of the Hill men, that astute politician was as reticent as ever and gave no sigu whether he would consider himself a candidate or not. It was evident that he w as not going into a fight id which there w as any prospect of losing and he continued to play the wait ing game which is credited to him. COLORED DEMOCRATS MEET.

Judge Herrick, of New York, addressed the Mississippi delegation in behalf of Cleveland yesterday. One of the delega tion asked the speaker whether it was true that Cleveland invited Fred Douglass and his family to his wedding reception. "I don't know," replied Judge Herrick. Af ter a pause, during which the Mississip plan insisted upon a reply, the Judge added: ,-I am not here to lie to you, but I say frankly that I think he did. Mr. Douglass was a federal officeholder and it was simply a matter of courtesy to do so anyway." "Rut Mr. Douglas had resigned at that time," insisted the delegate. 'I don't know anything about that," re sponded Judge Herrick. At this point the caucus adjourned until evening. An te-Con veil tion Kates, Two special trains brought in the Cleve land men of Buffalo.

The Officers at the jail have been suspi cious for some time that Dr. Scudder was contemplating suicide, and extra precau tions were taken against such a fatality.
