[Cries of >">]• «' v :-^ ' Mr. Man6ur, of Missouri — I rise to a motion that I believe is always in order. We have reached a point in the consideration of this con vention, at which I think we had better deliber ate. 1 have never known of any national con vention, or heard of one, where men were placed in nomination before they understood the plat-^ form upon which they should be placed, and now, sir. since the committee on resolutions have been granted until to-morrow to report, I wove, sir, that we adjourn until 11 o'clock to nionow. Motion seconded, and loud cries of no. Menzie, Indiana — Upon the motion of the gen tleman from Missouri. 1 ci 1 a roll of the states. Mr. Clunie— l second the demand for a call of the roll. ' The Chairman — motion is that we adjourn antil 11 o'clock to-morrow. No debate is in order, Shall a call of States be ordered? All in favor of that motion say aye, and all opposed, no. The noes have it. The question is now upon the motion to adjourn until 11 o'clock to-morrow. All in favor of that motion say aye, all opposed will say no. A large proportion of the delegates Toted in the negative. The motion is lost. The secretary proceeded to read more rules that were sent up, when Mr. Leonard, of West Virginia rose to a point of order that the ques tion Is on the resolution offered by the gentle man from Pennsylvania. The Chairman — The gentleman's point of order is right. The question, is upon the resolutions of the gentleman from Pennsylvania. Mr. Menzie, of Indiana — I rise to a parliamentary inquiry. A roll of the states has been demanded. If it is not a matter of right that is not to be voted down by a viva voce vote of the conven tion. There was a demand for a call of status upon a motion to adjourn. That was a matter c:' right, not •■> be voted down by a viva voce vote. The chair overruled the point of order.

The motion was declared carried amidst : uproarous applause mingled with loud protests by various delegates. Successive motions were made to adjourn to 7 o'clock to-night and 1 1 to-morrow, but both were defeated. The chair said the call of the states for the nomination of candidates for presi dent will now proceed. [Loud applause.] The clerk commenced the call of the roll of the states according to their alphabetic order. No report till California was reached, whan Mr. Spencer, of California said the state of Califor nia will' have to ask the iudulgence of the con vention. ;We have a name for nomination.. The gentleman who is to present that name is absent. We ask that the state of California be passed for the moment. ' :^tv The Chair— it shall be done . The clerk called the state of Colorado and the state of Connecticut, but received no response. The state of Delaware was next called, and amidst enthusiastic cheering, Mr. Martin, delegate from that state, arose and said: Mr. Martin, of Dela ware, state of Delaware, desires 'to present a candidate before this convention, through one of its. delegates, Hon. G. E. Gray, and 1 ask that he may be heard by the convention. [Loud ap plause.] Mr. Gray, Delaware, ascended the platform and was introduced by the chairman, ■ Mr. Gray said: Mr. President and gentlemen ■ of the convention: lam instructed to present to you the name of a man worthy to receive the nomination for the exalted station of president of , these United States. |Lond applause. | Ido so, Mr. President and gentlemen, with a deep and realizing sense of the great responsibility that rests upon this convention and upon • every member of it to so act that the great opportunity that God himself • I reverently believe has given us, may not pass iiwav unimproved, to so act that the' dawning light which illumines our horizon may not be darkened but may grow and increase into the noonday splendor of victory in November. The career of the Republican party, marked as it has been by reckless disregard of every constitution al restraint and every dear right that belongs- to the people fittingly culminated in • a candidate and a' platform that were made and declared in this hall a little more than a month ago. That I culmination has flung defiance into the face of | American manhood and has shocked the con -1 science of the best men of every party. Such a ■ nomination, gentlemen, is a sign of decadence of a great party, not a sign .of its , increasing strength. Now, gentlemen, ' the Democracy of this great country demands that you shall give them as a standard bearer in the impending contest one who has been tried in the balance and never found wanting. [Applanse.] it demands a statesman whose wisdom and ex perience are known of all men. [Applause.] It demands a leader whose chivalric courage will • never falter | applause | and who can and will bring to the (last the plumed knight of. false pre tense and personal dishoner. [Applause.] ]It demands a man with high and stainless honor, ' who will strike corruption whenever and wher ever it shows its head. It demands a man with a national record that will I ear electric light of hostile criticism. [Applause. It demands a man with a private character that : will defy tli« malignant tongue of slander. [Applause.] The Democrats of these United States, in a word, demand a man who 1 shall in his public and private character be the very antithesis and opposite^ the nominee of the : Republican party. [Applause. | Gentlemen, I ; speak from my heart, I know, but Ido not be lieve that you will think that my affections have altogether taken possession or my head when I -ay the man who has all this and more, and whose name I know is bow leaping from your hearts to your lips Is Thomas Francis Bayard, of Delaware. [Great applause.] Why, gentlemen, ! this republic, this dear country of ours, was 1 reared by such men as these, and the Democratic ' ! party wii! always point with boundless pride to ' hid spotless name and his magnificent career. : | Applause.] Who, I ask, has defended that ' great palladium of our liberties, tfle rights • of the states, ♦ more gallantly than ; he? who has stood with more dauntless courage : to resist insolent assertion of arbitrary power 1 that would have governed Borne of the fairest • states in this union by military satraps? when did : his voice "ever fail on any great ques tion that concerned the Interests of honor of this country to utter words of wisest council or to combat what ho knew to be false? How can you afford, gentlemen of ■ the Democratic party, to puss him by? (Applause.) What ac count will yon give to the Democracy who sent you here if you shall fail to meet the challenge of our opponent* by failing to blazon his .game upon our banners? (Applause, .. What, will you : say to the people over this great land wlio are now anxiously looking to the deliberations of bis convention and waiting to see lightnings of 'events Bash to the uttermost corners of this Union that name which will be the watchword in the battle for honest and pure gov ernment? [Applause. | Gentlemen of ■'. con vention, with Bayard us your candidate you, will make no mistaUu [Cheers]; his name will still the voice of faction | Cheers | and close up the 1 ranks of Democracy in every stale: be will curry | every doubtful state and he will make those states, doubtful that never were doubtful before. [Cheers.) Enthusiasm will take the place of itputhy, and will grow and still grow as autumn leaves are falling, until the drear November Is made bright and glorious by the paens of our 1 victory. [Cheers.] The Chair — The call of states will proceed. Florida, Georgia and Illinois were called. When the state of Indiana was called loud cheers rent the air, and Mr. Menzie, of that state, arose and said: The Indiana legation requests the Hon. Tl*'.-. A. Hendrtcks to present the name of Indiana's candidate for the presidency. .Mr. Hendricks came forward amidst a per fect'outburst of enthusiasm lasting several min utes. Upon a partial subsidence of the noise a wild gallery delegate, with a voice like a rolling mill, shouted three cheers for the old ticket, and they were given with extraordinary vigor. The ("hair — Gentlemen of the convention, you will best justify the exalted respect we all feet for the gentleman from Indiana by aiding him in his task with your profound silence. I have the honor to present Hon. Tons. A. Heiulricks, who will make a nomination on behalf of Indiana. Mr. Hendricks said : Mr. President and gen tlemen of the convention, this is my first ex perlcnco as a delegate in a nation] convention and as I rise to present the' name of a distinguished citizen of Indiana your consideration in connection with the office of president of tho United Status. 1 feel the delicacy and the great responsibility of the duty 1 have undertaken. The people now demand a Changs in the man agenieutuf federal affaire and if this convention will give them halt an opportunity they wiil execute that purpose In the election of a president in the coming falL I believe the nominee at this convention will soon become chosen president of the United States. [Cheers.] He will tie the first inaugurated president for twenty; four years. [Cheers.l burthetied with ail the duties that usually belong to that high office and In addition to such <!'.' and dellate re sponsibilities as belong to the transfer of pnblic affairs from the representatives of one parly to the representatives of another after long" control by the latter. May I ask yonr at tention while ■■■inly refer to some of the labors and responsibilities that will require conrage. talent and strength on the part of the next pres ident of the lilited States. The constitution imposes upon the president the dnty^of making »uce recommendations to congres^ '■.' such measures as he shall deem important "and neces sary. How delicate and important that duty be comes. The president is clothed with this au thority by the cousHtutiou. The constitution imposing it upon him, congress will heed his recommendation with great care.

" [AppUuw.i The experience of eTsry year has since con£r=ied that tUclaraUitn, and sue&jrthfns . the demand. It is but two weeks ago I that a secretary standing upon a witnes* stand Jn the presence of ' a senate eonum'tee.' iv bear tcstiassy to the report of one of the THE ST.

It was in the department of . medicine . and surgery, and said that the false vouchers, he. supposed, did not exceed $68,000. Hln former times, when the sensibilities, of the people became offended by otiicial corruption, j they themselves ; undertook i the task of reform". I dare say many of you bear it in memory that an entire administration went down, and for a time being the party went with it, because of; one defalcation or embezzle ment of $62,000. That was but forty years aeo. mid that was the only case' that occurred attract , ing attention during. that administration. Yet so fearful of punishment by the- people that party went from power for the ' time being, t Who ex-' pects that party lone in power, with all the emol uments of public position. received and enjoyed by its followers and relatives, can reform itself. The recent case to which I have referred is very instructive. In that testimony: the secretary said that a year ago he had received a letter in forming him of the misconduct of one of his em ployes, and that very recently he ■ hud been told of two others engaged in various transactions, but he said to the committee that so earnest was the pressure especially by members of congress . for the reappointment of the head of the burean, that he could not believe it possible that it was in the condition in which he found it last. The offenses against the public service are numerous, many of them flagrant. They must be pursued to their hiding places. They must be brought j forth and exposed and punished, and the agents that the president shall employ, I mean the new president that ' you are to nominate here the agents that he snail employ must have no one to shield and nothing to con ceal. Let fidelity and competency once more on the part of employes, and justice and fair play, j so far as the people of the country are concerned I be observed, and reforms . will follow. . I hope never again to see the cruel and remorseless pro- I Ecription for political opinions i which has dis graced the recent administration, but bad as the civil service is, I know that there are men of ability in the present service, and would not ask that they should be driven from office, but, none but such ought to be continued.

I have but one other sentiment to refer to before I shall call your attention to the claims which I propose to suggest for the man that I will nominate, and in respect to this senti . ment no one is responsible but myself. Will nations never desire a more rational umpire of ! differences than force? Must labor and treasure always flow before international controversies can be settled Controversies will arise, they are inevitable. Civilization of this age demands I that they be referred to the disinterested stat.ss ' for settlement by friendly arbitration. | Ap plause. | The intervening ocean protects our young RepnWic from the menace of European arms. It will be a beautiful spectacle if this Republic, bo strong and so secure, shall lead the nations in a movement for permanent peace, and the relief of the people everywhere from maintainence of standing armies and ships of war. The best of Gen. Grant's administration was the settlement by arbitration of the controversy touching the Alabama. That settlement stands | in bright glorious contrast in all history to the use i liar he himself made of our own army when he beleagured the capital that men might have offices to which they were never elected. [Loud applause] Mr. President and gentlemen, I have •to suggest for your consideration a citizen of the' slate of Indiana, the Hon. Joseph McDonald. [Loud and long .continued applaus.e[ I thank you all for the reception which you have given to his name. Born in an adjoining state, Indiana became his home when but a boy. He learned a trade, and that ma himself independent and very respectable. ] Applause] And after that he pursued his studies with such opportunities as he had. and finally prepared himself for the I great profession of the law. And from the time that Lie. took his stand in the court house of his county, until the present time when he may stand, it may be, in the supreme court 'of the Unitt-e States, he has been the peer of the best of his profession in the west. [Loud applause] First, selected by the district in which he lives to prosecute the yleas of the state, afterwards chosen by the state to represent her as attorney general, . next — not next to that, but before that — he went from his own district in which he waa raised from the neighborhood to the congress of the United .Sat"-, and afterwards the people of the whole state sent him ■■: senator to Washington. Faithfully, diligently, ably he represented Indi j ana in the senate, and he was welcomed by the ablest of the senators as their peer. Mr. McDon ald has been a student of the learning that, has made the Democracy of the United States what it is to-day. ■ [Loud applause]. He is familiar with the writings of the fathers, and his opinions are rased upon the sentiments that came to him from their pages. .

I Make what you- will of it., [Laughter and applause.]: You cau win without it, but if you carry' that state in October the battle is already won," and you need go no farther. -.'■ [Loud applause.] Mr. President and gentlemen of the convention, I come ' here with unstudied words, having had no opportunity whatever to make the least preparation, but when the senator who served twelve years in the congress of the United States, a gentleman who was a great lawyer, a ripe' jurist, when he entered that body and while he was there, with out any disrespect to anybody else, whenever a stranger was called on to point out a great man on the floor of the .senate of the United States he instantly .-■ pointed to Allen G. Thurman, who ; carried his red hand and handkerchief.^ [Loud laughter and applause.) : ; Gentlemen, we are entering upon the battle. The war is on. We want no plumed knight," clad in holiday armour of tournament fighting for his fair lady's braid of hair. You want an ajax with helmet and spear, to thunder along the line and deal death giving blows to , the foe whom;. we meet. [Applause.] Allen G. . Thurman is that man in thought, ■ in -intellect, in courage, iii statesmanship, in adherence to constitutional law, in defence of the rights of the • masses, in defiance of the power of monopoly, in defiunce of the corruptions of the age. Who,' to-day stands as the peer of Allen G. Thurman? unless -" it be , that man who has passed away from the arena of politics, Mr. Tilden. [Applause.] ;. v . ' After Gen. Ward had concluded the secretary proceeded with the calling of the roll; until the ] state of Kentucky was reached, when Mr. James A. McKenzie, of Kentucky, arose and presented the name of John Q. Carlisle as a candidate in the following words: . . : Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the national Convention : I desire, in the name of the ; state that will give 50,000 majority to the nominee of this convention. [applause| to place in nomina tion for the highest office within the reach of human ambition, that of the present distin ] guished speaker of the American congress, John I (J. Carlisle. [Cheers.] ... In all the essential j characteristics of manliness, and courage, and I ability, and patriotism, ' he is j the peer .of any ' great name that will be mentioned in this great convention. [Applause.] The Presidency of the Unfted States is a position of such transcendant honor, ami dignity, and responsibility, that only v such as those whose names the republic delights to honor should be named in this convention. His ill health has compelled the retirement from the arena of American politics of the Sage of Grarstone. [Applause. I No name carries with it more of talismanic charm and respect of the American people than that of John G.Carlisle, It behoves this convention in this great exigency of our national affairs, and when it seems to me that we have but to pluck the success that ;is in our sight, that we should name for the great of fice of the presidency a man not born for the smaller, selfish schemes, bat a man to whom dis honor is unknown, a man made up of greatness, one who brings the victor' birthright in his name alone. Such a man is John G. Carlisle. [Ap plause. J It may he urged, gentlemen, that he comes from the wrong side of the- river, but my God. if the statute of limitation ever is to run against that plea, it ought to begin- now. • [Ap plause.] I t>< 1 ing to a class of men who beiieve that the war is over. ] Applause.] I belong to a class of men who believe that there is as much of honor and virtue and patriotism in the south as there is anywhere else on God's earth. I appeal to the sentiment of this convention rep- | resenting the intelligence of the Democracy of ■ America if I come before it in any unnatural plea, when I ask you to recognize that the arbi trament of the sword has settled the war, and we I present yon a peace offering in the person of John I G. Carlisle. Carlisle and the Republican party pre sent a contrast to which I would like to invite the attention of this convention. One a combination and a form indeed where, if ever, a , God had •set—*" his ■ - "»f »eul '- '-'Ho -• give the world assurance of ' . a man seemed to .the other leprous with accusations, and covered and tattooed all over with bribery, fraud and cor ruption. The Democratic party under Carlisle's leadership would become the antithesis of every thing which the worst elements of the Republi can party advocate and espouse, and . God knows ' there are worse elements in that party than in j any other party on the face of the earth. [Langh : : ter and cheers.] That party would represent the | spirit of order rather than the genius of riot, It (would represent the dominion of law rather than i recklessness of license. 1 It would represent a I betterment of our civil service than the - longer continuance of • a reign of j spoils and jobbery. The speaker had been directing most of his re marks to the chairman, and. therefore loud cries for him to turn around and I face his - audience, j The speaker continued, but ' apparently - not i understanding what was wanted again, faced the I . speaker and continued:] It would appear to the conservatism of the country with the announce ment that the presidency should be regarded as a great public trust and not as a personal, per quisite. [At this point the demands of the au ! dience became so vociferous that the speaker I : turned around and faced them. He enquired of I the chairman what was wanted, who replied that they wanted him to face the audience. He then came forward and in a voice loud enough to be I j heard all over ■ the house said," all right, I ain't afraid to face yon. The speaker then continued.] 'It would announce ' that • corpora tions should be under the dominion of law," ; i and not that the law and law-makers under I the dominion of corporations. That our -lost : commerce should be returned to its ■ rightful i place on the high seas [cheers], rather than our i j sailorle,ss ships should fall . down piecemeal, and I our carrying trale come and go in foreign bot toms, above all and above everything. It would announce that wa.. taxes should be .. put on [a peace bads, rather than that peace taxes ] should be continued on a was basis. It would announce i that our public domain should be utilized, as homes for American people,' [cheers]", rather than j as seignories for foreign syndicates and railroad corporations, [cheers], and it would announce to the country that there should be demanded hon- ! esty, capacity and integrity of every j person entrusted with' ' political . pow- \ er or public place,' " [cheers],*, rather | i then the U»iL'er continuance of a civil service in j which personal fealties is the " highest test of qualifications, and in which dishonesty and in ! competency, are not infrequent" exceptions to 1 the general rule. I invoke upon this national , convention | the spirit of peace and harmony. | Will you have need of fifty tbnn«aml Kentucky i votes when yon come to make np the. "sum total ; of the result in the November elections I- 1 I nrge 1 Mr. Carlisle's claims with less hesitation when I | i reflect that of the 201 electoral votes necessary j i to secure a Democratic president, we propose in, I | the st>uth to furnish you 153 of • them 4 and I not I ; charge yon a cent for 1 it. (Laughter and ap- ! | plau«e.) We are all a Democratic • family. Do ! H6| let us fail out about questions of detail, I want-to see this country sectronized ira parallels of longitude, as well as on parallels of latitude, j I want to live to see the time, and I. believe I I | will live to see that, when the spirit of such con- 1 fraternity will exist between the sections north j and south as to extricate all unpleasant memo ries of the war. . [Applause. | I . have read "in 'English history that when the forces of Oliver Cromwell were lying upon their arms awaiting battle they frequently engaged in angry disputes concerning matter* of faith, bnt when the order to charge came down that line from | Old Iron-" sides, with the forces of Prince Rupert in front, I they forgot their differences and had no thought hut victory until success crowned the I army of 1 the protectorate. The honorable gentleman, the j chairman bf this great convention, | will shortly j give to this Democratic post | the command to charge all along .the line. •" [Applause.] | Laying aside all their differences, all dissension?, j all bickerings and all strife,' let us ■ charge the | Repabliran party front and I rear, and with John j G.

[Applause, j ; When the state of Massachusetts which came j next in the list was called, and Mr. Abb • of that state arose, hisses and j demonstrations of dissent were audible upon all sides.

When the state of New York "was reached Mr. Manning arose and said: ■ ■ ' 'Mr. Chairman, New York presents the name of ; Grover ; Cleveland and desires- to be . heard! through Daniel Lockwood,' of Buffalo. . '"' .\ "" t : .. Mr. Lockwood spoke as follows : - ' "_•- .' . •* M Chairman, and ! gentlemen of the : conven tion It is with no ordinary feeling, and with no ; ordinary feeling of- responsibility, that I appear before this convention as representative of > the Democracy of .the state of ' New York : [applause], for the , purpose, :. of placing ;in nomination a gentle .; from the state of New York as a candidate j for the presi dency of the United States. This responsibility is made greater when I. remember that the rich est pages of [ American history have j been made up from the records of | Democratic ! administra tions. ; [Applause]. This responsibility is made still greater when I remember that the only blot in the political j history done at Washington an outrage, upon the rights of the American people, was in 1876, and that that outrage and that in jury to, justice is still unavenged, [applause], and this responsibility is not lessened When I recall the fact that the gentleman whose name I shall present jto you has been my polittcal associate from my youth. ! Side by side • have we marched : to the tune of Democratic music; side by side have we studied the principles of Jefferson and Jackson, and love the faith in which we believe. And during all this time he has occupied a posi tion comparatively as a private citizen, yet always true : and . always \ ■ faithful to : the \ Democratic principle. Xo man ha? greater respect or ' admiration for the. honored names which have been presented to this convention than myself. But, gentlemen,, the. world is moving, and moving rapidly from ; the north to the south. Now, men who ' have acted but little in politics are coming to the front [applause] and to-day there are hundreds and thousands of young men in this country, men who are to cast their first vote, men who are in dependent in politics, and they are looking to this convention, praying silently that there shall be no mistake made here. They want to drive the Republican party from power. They want to cast their vote* for a Democrat, in whom they believe. [Applause] These people know from the record of the gentleman whose name I shall present, that Democracy witn him means an honestgovernment, pure government and pro tection of "'; the :.-,. rights of the people of every class and • every condition, - A little more than three years ago, I had the . honor, at the city of Buffalo, to present the name of this same gentleman for the office of mayor of tltat city. It was presented then for the same reason, for the same causes that we present it now. ■ It was because the government of that, city had become corrupt, and had become de bauched, and political integrity sat not in high places. The people looked for a man who would represent the country, and. without any hesita tion they named Gov, Cleveland as the man, - v - . , At this point there was a wild burst of ap plause. i Some of the New York-delegation, practically the entire Wisconsin delegation, and some few scattering delegates stood up and made all the ' demonstrations possible in Cleveland's favor. As soon as the uproar subsided, Mr. Lockwood continued. The result ol that election, and his holding that oflice, was that in less than nine months my state found herself in a position. to want just such a candidate, and for such a purpose, and when, at ,/ the convention in 188:2, his . name . was placed. in nomination for the oflice of governor of the state of New York, the same people, the same class of people, knew that that meant just government, it meant pure government, it meant Democratic government, and it was*ratitied , by the peo ple. '[Applause.] And , gentlemen, now , after eighteen months' service there, this Democracy of the state of New York come to you to ask you to -rive fb the country, to give to the indepen' dent and : Democratic voters pf the country, to give to the young men of the country, the new blood of the country, and present the name of Grover Cleveland as the standard bearer for the next four yean. I shall indulge in no eulogy of j Mr. Cleveland, I shall not attempt any further description of his political career. It is known, ] his Deinoucracy is known, his j statesmanship is known throughout the • length' and breadth of the land, and ail I Sjtfe of this convention is to let no pas sion, no prejudice- influence their duty which they owe to the people of this country. Be not deceived. Mr. Cleveland can give the Democrat ic party the thirty-six electoral votes of the state of New York on election day. : lie can by his. purity of character, by his purity of administra tion, by his fearless and undaunted courage to do i right, bring to you more votes than to any body else. Gentlemen of the convention, but one word more: Mr. Cleveland's candidacy be fore this convention is offered upon the ground of his honor, his integrity, his wisdom, his De- ; mocracy, . [Cheers.] Upon that ground we ask it believing that if ratified by this convention he can be elected and take his seat 'at Washington as a Democratic president of the United States. Senator Grady, of New York, tried to catch the eye of the chairman, but the chair recognized Mayor Carter Harrison, of Chicago, assuring Mr. Grady he would be recognized in his turn. Mr. Harrison made a speech seconding the nomina tion of Grover Cleveland. When he had con cluded there were cries of "Kelly"' and somf! confusion. The chair recognized Mr. .Richard A. Jones, of Minnesota, who also seconded the nomination of Mr. Cleveland. The chair then recognized Mr. Grady, of New York, who came forward to the platform and was introduced by the chair. Before the speaker had begun Mr. Parker, of New Hampshire, addressed the chair and said: I rise to a point of order, that unless j the gentleman arises for the purpose of second- j ng a nomination (here the voice of the Mr. Par- j ker was drowned amid cries, sit down, git down ■ Grady, Grady, and hisses.) The — The gentleman of New York, hav ing been recognized and awarded the floor, be fore, I cannot sustain the point of order, that he is not entitled to it. Mr. Grady, of New York, then addressed the convention as follows: - Gentlemen of the convention, you will remem ber that a l.ttle while at'o, at a convention held within these walls, amid the most unbounded enthusiasm outside the floor of the j convention, with waving plume* and shout* of joy recorded for fifteen minutes on a stretch, the Republicans named their candidate, but the next moment the enthusiasm was boiled down and he has been the coldest kind of a ' candidate ever since. [Ap- i plause.] ; I have no dancing plume to wave, I j have no hope that the plain story ;I- propore r to i address to you will awaken unbounded enthus iasm among those whose only concern is that some local advantage may be gained under the ■ I name \of Cleveland and reform.

Gentlemen, why should it be necessary for the members of . this conven tion to invade a state which ' does * not want the assistance of the Democracy of ; the ', country to Fettle its own "quarrels, why should there be a disposition on the " part ", of ; ; the Democracy of this country to "subject the results of this great presidential election to .the hazard of a chance and to trust to the protestations of cer tain persons as to the healthy condition of . that state, instead of following the ■ part of . prudence aad choosing from among I the . illustrious names which are i the i common ■; property of our party some candidate whose name .will be an argu ment, in his favor whose history, will be a plat form and whose record will be an advance and a long step in advance towards the confidence and support of the- voters - of j» this ; country.

Cochran said: The gentleman from Illinois, the distinguished mayor of this city, whose appearance on this platform was greeted I believe by a large re cruiting of the numbers in the gallery, to whom the doors were thrown open by the act» of his police, the gentleman from Illinois, who knows Chicago well, has assumed to speak of the poli tics of New York state. Oentlemen, he may know something about these, but if he does he has carefully concealed them while he was upon this platform. He has assnmed to speak for the Catholic church as if he were her eldest son. I for my part regret that the name of a religious body should. even be breathed within this convention. j Applause.] We believe the altar of God is a place where peace prevails and harmony, passions are not known, and as a man who believes in his creed and hopes that the vast majority of this convention are of the Christian type of character, I trust the creeds will not appear here to be dragged in the mire of partisan discussion. [Ap plause. | And I sincerely trust, gentlemen, that that question will not be launched into the poli tics of this campaign, whatever be the result of this convention. But when the gentleman from Illinois, makes it. it is at least an evidence that there is some suspicion through the land that some grave political discussion will be engen dered into this, which is inevitable and insepar able from presidential contests. The man whose nomination I have seconded, in 1876, when partisan bigotry ran riot through the state of Ohio, when lanterns bearing inscriptions calculated to arouse the worst passions of the human heart, were being borne over every highway, and the confidence of the people in the system of common school edu cation was beint; disturbed by the most violent appeals to their passions, the grand old Allan (i. Thunnau, of Ohio, was raised like lightning rod in a storm, and conducted it harm lessly into the ground. His was the first voice that was raised amidst the commotion and caused it to be still and peace to prevail throughout the length and breadth of that community. Mr. Coochran concluded as follows : Since the majority of the delegation present are naming Tilden, let us name a man who stands next to him in the eye of the country and in the eye of tho whole world. [Applause.] We have been told that the mantle of Tilden has fallen on the shoulders of Cleveland. Gentlemen, when the mantle that fits the shoulders of a giant shall fall on those of a dwarf, the result is disastrous to the dwarf. [Laughter.] The shoulders of Air. Cleveland can't uphold that ample mantle, the ehouleers of Allan G. Thurman can fill every crease, every crevice and every part of that garment. [Loud applause.]- Xame him gentlemen of the convention to the Democracy of this nation and thus perform an act which, will give them confidence now that you are asking them to trust you, and accomplish a complete revolution in public affairs of the country. Do not ask to have all <he financial relations of this man, to have all the delicate questions of foreign and domestic policy which must be disturbed and readjusted with the coming of the Democ racy into power, subjected to the uncertain chances of what may happen if an untried man be chosen for the presidency. Give us a states man in whose life we can show to the people that reason for their confidence which is essential to success. Do not trust so much to availability or to getting votes, try for votes, try to deserve the votes, and I am satis fied the votes will come. [Great applause. | As Mr. Cochran concluded there were loud cries for Fellows, of > T ew York, but he remained in his scat. Mr. Noonan, of Missouri — I simply want to know whether this is a session of the New York delegation at Albany, or whether we are hero for the purpose of attending to business in the city of Chicago. We are tired of this thing now. I am getting tired. |A voice, sit down.] The chair — The gentleman is not in order. Mr. Apgar, of New York— Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention: I pray your in dulgence for the briefest possible period, while in behalf of a large majority of the New "York delegation, which by a vote of 61 to 11, instruct ed the chairman of our delegation to present to this convention the name of Gov. Cleveland I ap plause] for the nomination for president of the United States. J. shall make no detailed argu ment. I desire merely to recall to your mind to another scene than this, but one strikingly simi lar in its features. Eight years ago I sat with New York delegation In that great exposition buililini; in the city of St. Louis when the Xcw York delegation there presented to that convention the name of Samuel J. Tildeu. to be nominated for presidont of thn l/nited States. Then, as now, a minority of the delogation res isted at every step that nomination. Then, as now, the leader of the organization which these gentlemen have represented, then, as now, the leader of that organization took platform and told you that Mr. Tilden could not by any possibility carry New York. [Applause.] That majority, owing to the opposition of Tammany, owing to the opposition of the labor element, owing to other opposition that Mr. Tilden's majority in the city of New York would be ho cut down that it would be hopeless for him to carry the state That the convention in its wisdom disregarded the voice of these men, and placed Tilden in nomination, what was the result? In every city of New York which these men had predicted the principal defection. Mr. Tilden receivod a majority of 65,000, Circumstances are not changed. Mr. Tilden was governor of the state, so is Gov. Cleveland. (Applause.) Mr. Tilden had been made picsident because of his conneo tion with reform, bo wan Gov. Cleveland. (Ap plause.) Mr. Tildeu was nominated for the pres idency becanse his two years as governor had commended him to the people of the whole lulled States, so has Gov. Cleveland. The situ- ' ation is a simple one. For more than twelve years past the balance of power in the state of New York has been held by a large unattached vote, which belongs to nno party or organization we have in the state probably about 000,000 Vot ers who will vote the Democratic tick.?.*, no mat ter whom you may nominate. Wo have about 550.000 voter* who will vote the Republican tick et under any and all circuinutß'iceH. Now, out side of both these organization there are 100 000 more in the state of New York who do not cam a snap whether the Democratic party or Repnbli can party, as such, sl>all carry the election. Thay vote in every election according to the candidates These met absolutely hold the control of the politics of Ni -.v York in their hands. They aro the balance of power. You muHt have their votos or you can't win. Bvery time for ten years past when we have appealed to this ele ment, victory has perched upon our banners When we have failed to do so defeat han come Thece men, united to a man, hnplore this con vention with the vast majority of the Democrat ic party represented by tho delegates of the Dem ocratic party in this convention. I implore yon to nominate (Joy. TCion's successor, elected governor for the sar.ie eaufes, they ask you to place him in nomination in order that all the elc ments oppose* 1 , to the longer continuence of the Kepublican party in power may be united and make its defeat entirely certain. [Applause I A gentleman from Missouri took the floor, hut on motion of Gen.
