Mr. \ itas laid the book down at Mr. WattersotTs side, and proceeded as fol lows: Gentlemen: I shall not now cause to be read at length the discussion which the distinguished gentleman made upon that occasion. Half of the words about that pan of the platform which it is pro posed to strike out, and which we have heard baptized today as Uepublican, I bowed down to in 18S4, as si and Demo cratic doctrine under tin' leadership of our distinguished and magnificent friend. Senator Vilas turned to Mr. Watter son with a polite buw, ami the great Kentuckian seemed to enjoy the words of Mr. Vilas. as a broad smile played over his face. There were cries of "Go on. "and Mr. Vilas proceeded as follows: Now. fellow .Democrats, if you desire an additionalJexpression of this father idea in regard to the tariff, which the ■ / gentleman from Ohio read, why nobody can take it with more satisfaction than 1. 1 don't think it makes much differ • ence in what form of words we repeat our unvarying and unswerving hostility to that ereat robbery and iniquity. [Applause and cries ot "Good: Good:] 1 don't care much for the words, be cause five years ajro next fall a presi dent of the United States led the Demo cratic party into a position on that tariff question which was not only ri^ht, and brave, and splendid, and Democratic [applause l , but which has ehren liie blood — eternal perpetuation — to the jiarty.

Kentucky's Pride Gets Back at Mr. Watterson took the platform and replied to CoL Yilas as follows: < >ne word only in relation to a refer ence by my honored and distinguished friend, the senator from \\"isco!isin. who presided over that convention of ISS4 cries of "Louder"] and that is this: In 11S61, we were in the midst of the throes of a srreat internecine tariff con troversy. The parly seemed to be split wide !open and after fifty-two hours of unbroken discussion in the platform committee, the best that the moderate and ennserrati** members of the committee. my«elf among the num ber, could obtain as common ground to stand upon was the platform of IVM1 V M in that convention. But since that time we have had the Morrison bili, the Mills bill [applausp\ the aapssaire of the president in 1887 "applause], the ereat campaign education in 1888- and. 1 say to myself, my God, is it possible that in 1892 we have act to go back for the tar iff plank to the straddle of ISS4? [Ap plause.] The Chairman— The question is on a motion of the committee- The sentence of the chairman was drowned in a roar of applause and liisses, after which Col. Jones, editor of the St. Louis Republic, took a stand in front of the chairman's desk and said: "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention: In behalf of the commit tee on resolutions, I wish to say that we are willing to accept the amendment of ; the gentleman from Ohio as an addition to section 3." At this point of Col. Jones' remarks there arose in the hall such a tumult of (hisses and applause that his voice was j drowned, and he could not be heard. After waiting patiently tor some moments for the noise and tumult to cease. Col. Jones retired in despair. ' STRIKE-OUT DEMANDED. Seal's Substitute Develops Popu larity. Mr. Walker, of Missouri, inquired the purpose of Col. Jones' remarks, and said: "We are opposed to it; we want that section stricken out." Ileuiy Watterson— Mr. Chairman, I rise to a preliminary inquiry. The con vention needs to be instructed whether it, is proposed to accept the amendment of the gentleman from Ohio as a substi tute, which motion I will support; or ■whether it is proposed to tack it on as a tail or addendum, which 1 will opnose. This remark culled forth shouts of ap plause. The Chairtnani— The chair will ex plain to the convention the status of the matter at present. It Is this: The gen tleman fro.m Ohio offered an amend ment by which he proposed to strike out certain portions of the platform as read and to insert therefor the amend ment which he presented. The chair man of the committee on resolutions, sdeakins in behalf of that committee, offered to accept the proposed amend ment as an addition to the platform. [Cries of "No. no" and •'Question, question" and "Call the roll."] Mr. Johnson, of Ohio— Gentlemen of the convention. I indorse heartily the amendment ot my colleague from Ohio. [Applause.] The Democratic party has been hungering for years for a Demo cratic platform on the tariff, and, thank God, it has at last -come. [Applause.] And [ not a miserable addition to that j stump speech, but strike out what they put in and put in clear, ringing tones what they need. [Loud applause and cries of "That's right."] We, on the stump and in the Democratic press, denounce the protective tariff as a fraud [applause]; say so in your platform. [Loud applause.] Be honest to your people. [Applause.] The only trouble has been that the leaders are frightened. The Democratic party is all right. [Loud applause.] A BAD BREAK-AWAY.

Our book on Wood and Skin Diseases mailed free. Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga. the house is on the amendment of the gentleman from Ohio. Lawrence Neal, of Ohio— Mr. Chnls I man, 1 demand a call of the roll of states upon my amendment. [Cries off "That's right, that's right.?] The Chairman— The question Is on the amendment offered by the gentle man from Ohio, which is a motion to strike out and insert, ami upon that a call of the roll of states is asked. There were several calls of "Mr. Chairman" by delegates wishing to bo recognized, but he refused to recognize any one. John E. Lamb, of Indiana, arose in his chair and said: "1 want to know how many and what members of the committee signed that minority report." The chair refused to recognize Mr. Lamb, find amid great confusion the latter sal down. Mr. Watterson — The motion is to strike out and insert— indivisible mo tion. There were cries of "Call the roll, call the roll." The chairman was requested by sev eral delegates to again state the motion for the information of the convention. There was still great confusion, in the mi. Ist of which the chairman said:,"The eai! of states will be begun as soou as there i.* order."' Mr. Pettus. of Alabama— Alabama de ► sires to answer the roll-call. The Chairman— Wo cannot do any thing until we have order. The confusion continued, and the chairman pounded in vain for order. There were cries of "Mr. Chairman" all over the house from members desiring to bo recognized. The confusion in creased, and the chairman resumed his pounding of the cavel. Members kept calling "Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman," and the chairman continued to reiterate his statement that he would recognize no one until the aisles were cleared and the convention came to order. BRIGHT GIVEN" A JOB. Delegates Refuse to Be Seated or Kept Down. President Wilson ordered the ser jeant-at-arms to seat the delegates, and Col. Bright started in on his apparently impossible job. The chair assisted him to the extent of his power with voice and gavel, but the excited delegates maintained their standing position in aisles, in their seats, and over each other's shoulders with a determination which would not yield to any order or request. '•I he chair cannot recognize any one until the convention comes to order." shouted President Wilson, and con tinued: "This is a very important matter, and the convention ought to know the facts in regard to it." Bonrke Cockran. of New York, stood up and frantically called: "Mr. Chair man, Mr. Chairman," while at least fifty other delegates were on their feet or on their chairs with similar requests for recognition. "The convention must come to order before the chair will attempt to conduct any business." threatened the president of the convention, but his voice was not beard I eyond a radius of fifteen feet from his position. '•I have a parliamentary inquiry which 1 wish to make," yelled Mr. Id row, of Mississippi, and the chair responded: "The sergeant-at-arms will see that the gentlemen in the visles are seated before we can go forward with the busi ness of the convention." Senreant-at-Arms Bright moved out with a force of deputies into the crowded aisles, and began to seat the delegates. bat it was like pushing corks under water. RESULT OF THE CALI* The Stump Speech Cut Cleanly- Out and Away. Finally the chair recognized Mr. Mul drow, of Mississippi, who was asked to state his parliamentary question. Mr. Muldrow said: Can a motion now be made to recommit the tariff plank of the platform back to the committee oil platform? There were vociferous cries of "No, go." and "Call the roll." Mr. Muldrow— lf that motion is in order, Mr. Chairman, I now make it. The greatest confusion prevailed, and none of the delegates who had so long been clamoring for recognition had as yet relinquished their demand to be recognized. After a scene of great con fusion, the secretary proceeded with the roll call of the states and the result was as follows: < * 5 < x, 2! OOc O » P I p r- 5 ? V ■ • • OB Alabama 22 i 2 10 New Tort...

Mr. Patterson, of Colorado, represent ing the minority report of the committee on resolutions, took the platform and said: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Democratic Convention: There was an other matter of difference between the ■embers of the committee on resolu tions. The difference relates to the coinage plank. [Hisses.] We demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeemable in coin. We insist upon this policy as especially necessary for the protection of the farmers and laboring classes — the first and most de fenseless victims of unstable niouey and a fluctuating currency. If you will bear with me a short time I will en deavor to tell you why this difference has been brought before the body of delegates. The difference was fundamental— it was not a matter of whim. It has been charged that the free coinage men .of the West and South sought to foist the extreflM views of bi-metallists upon the Democratic convention. [Cries of "Time, time."] Free discussion and a respectful hearing is due to every liou est cause. It lias been charged that the free coin age men of the West and South came to this convention with extreme views on the coinage question. On the contrary, they are satisfied to receive from this body its expression of faith as the most pronounced opponent of free coinage ioves to assert his belief. We believe that free coinage of silver shall prey-ail. Mr. McKenzie arose and said 1 : **lt niust be evident to the gentleman that in the impatient temper of this conven tion, this is no time to make a long ad dress. 1 therefore venture to suggest that the whole matter be recommitted to the committee on resolutions." [Cries of "No, no."] Mr. Patterson— All we have ingrafted in the platform is the recognition [Cries of "Time, time."] Mr. Shields, ot lowa,protested against thisJnterference by the gallery. Mr. Patterson resumed: Ail we have asked is the recognition of the doctrine I of fie; 1 bimetallic coinage as a doctritw el the Democratic uarty, not the coin age of a 70-cent dollar, but the coinage o. gold aud silver dollars of a fixed THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: TIITJRS. parity, and each dollar containing metal of equal intrinsic value. The only mat ter in dispute, between us and the committee was whether or not the Dem ocratic convention would recognize free bimetallic coinage of dollars of equal intrinsic value as a part of the Demo cratic faith or take refuge under the same kind of a contemptible straddle that disgraced the Republican conven tion at Minneapolis. [Cheers.] Gentlemen of the convention. I have stated all that was necessary to bring before you the matter of difference. Having done that as a representative of the tree bimetallic coinage men of the convention, we have done our duty, and the responsibility now rests with you. SILVER MEN OUTVOTED, And the Nominators Begin the Oratory. The Chairman— The question is on the adoption of the amendment offered by the gentleman from Colorado. The motion was put to the convention and declared lost. The Chairman— The question is now on the adoption of the platform. This action was voted on by yeas and nays, and carried. The Chairman— The next order of business, gentlemen, is the call of tho roll of states for the nomination of can didates for the office of president. The clerk will proceed with the call of tho roll. The clerk commenced the call of the roll, and got as far as Alabama, when Mr. Feltbu, of Arkansas, moved an adjournment. The chairman paid no attention to it. The clerk acain called the roll, and Arkansas yielded to New Jersey. The clerk thereupon called New Jersey, when ex-Gov. Abbett.of that state.catno forward to the platform, accompanied by enthusiaOtic cheers from the Cleve land wing of the convention, it being understood that Mr. Abbett was to nominate ex-President Cleveland. The Chairman — The chair presents to the convention Gov. Leon Abbett, of New Jersey. A fresh installment of yells greeted Gov. Abbett as he faced thH convention. When quiet was was restored the gov ernor addressed the body: CLEVELAND PRESENTED, New Jersey's Governor Makes a Ringing Address. Gov. Abbett. of New Jersey, placing Cleveland In nomination, said: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the conven tion: In presenting a name to this con vention, I speak for the united Democ racy of the state of New Jersey, whose loyalty to Democratic principles, faith ful services to the party and coutribu- / I*"**1 *"** fin \l i I tions to its successes entitleit to the re spectful consideration of the Democracy of the Union. Its electoral vote has always been cast in support of Demo cratic principles and Democratic candi dates. [Cheers.] In voicing the unani mous wish of the delegates from New Jersey, I present as their candidate for the suffrage of this convention the name of a distinguished Democratic statesman, born upon its soil, for whom in the two great presidential contests the state of New Jersey has given its electoral votes. [Cheers.] The supreme consideration in tho mind of the Dem ocracy of New Jersey is the success of the Democratic party and its principles. We have been in the past and will be in the future ready at all times to sacrifice personal prejudices in deference to the clear expressions of the will of the Democracy of the Uuion. because this name will awaken throughout our state the enthusiasm of the Democracy and insure success. It is because he repre sents the great Democratic Principles and Policy upon which this entire convention is a unit; it is because we believe that with him as a candidate the Democracy of the Union will sweep the country and establish its principles throughout the length and breadth of the land that we offer to the convention as a nominee the choice of the Democracy, Grover Cleve land. [Applause.] If any doubt were in the minds of the Democrats of New Jersey of his ability to lead tbe great Democratic host to victory, they would not present his name today; with them the success of the party and the estab lishment of its principles are beyond' their love or admiration for any man. [Cheers.] We fee! certain that every Democratic state, though its preference may be for some other distinguished democrat, will give its warm, enthusiastic and earnest support to the nominee ot this convention. The man whom we present will rally to his party thousands of independent voters wiio^e choice is determined by their personal conviction that the candidate will represent prin ciples dear to thorn, and whose public life and policy give assurance that if chosen by the people they will secure an honest, pure and conservative ad ministration, and the great interests of the country will be encouraged and pro tected. Tue time will come when our distinguished Democrats who have been mentioned in connection with this nom ination will receive that consideration to which the great services they have rendered their party entitle them, but we stand today in the presence of the fact that the majority of Tlie Democratic masses throughout the country, the rank and rile, the millions of its voters, demand the nomination of (inner Cleveland. [Cheers.] This sentiment is so strong and overpowering that it has affected and controlled the actions of delegates who would otherwise present the name of some distinguished leader of their own state with whom they feel victory would be assured, and in whom the en tire country would feel confident: but the people have spoken, and favorite sons and leaders are standing aside in obedience to their will [cheers]. Shall we listen to the voice of the Democracy of the Union. Shall we place on our banner the man of their choice, the man in whom they believe, or shall we, for any consideration of policy or expedi ency, hesitate to obey "their will? [Cheers.] i have sublime faith in the expression of the people when it is clear and decisive. When the question before them is one that has excited discussion and debate, and calls for the exercise of their judg ment, and they then say we want this man and we can elect him, we, their representatives, must not disobey nor disappoint them, it is incumbent upon us to obey their wishes and concur in their judgment. Then, having given them the candidate of their choice, they will give us their best, their most ener getic efforts to secure success. [Cheers.! We consistently rely upon successful work of the Democratic leaders who have advocated other candidates. We know that In the great state across the river from New .Jersey, now controlled by the democratic party, there is No Democrat Who Will Shirk the duty of making every effort to se cure the success of the candidate of this convention, notwithstanding his judirme nt may differ from that of the majority. The Democracy of N»w York and its great leaders, whose efforts and splendid generalship have given us a Democratic senator and governor, will always be truo to the imat party they represent; they will not waver, uor will they lest in the coming can vass until they have achieved success. The great victories of the past, their natural and honorable ambition, their unimpeachable Democracy, will make them arise and fight an never before, and with those that they represent and lead they will marshal the great inde pendent vote, and we will again speure for the Democracy victory in New York. Tho grand Democrats under whose leadership the city and state of New York are now governed will give to the cause the great weight of their organiz ations. The thundering echoes of this convention, announcing the nomination of Grover Cleveland, will not have died out over the hills and through the val leys of this land before you will hear and see all our leaders rallying to the support of our candidate. They v/ilj begin their efforts for organization and success and continue their work unity victory, crowns their efforts. All Democrats will lisht for victory, and they will succeed because th<» principles of the party enunciated here are for the best interests of the country at large, and because the peo^lg of this land have an unquestiuniug faith that Grover Cleveland will gW& the country a Pure, Honest and Stable government, and an administration In which the great business interests of the country and the agricultural and labor ing interests of the masses will receive' proper and due recognition. The ques tion has been asked, why is it that the masses of the party demand the nom ination of Grover Cleveland? Why is it that this man, who has no offices to distribute, no wealth to command, should have secured the spontaneous support of the great body of Democ racy? Why is it, that with all that has been urged against him, the. people still cry, "Give us Cleveland?'' Why is it, although he has pronounced in honest, clear and able. language his views upon questions upon which some of his party may differ with him, that he is still near and dear to the masses? It is because he has crystallized into a living issue; the great principle for which this battle is to be fought out at the coming election! If he did not create tariff re rorm, he made it a presidential issue; he vitalized and presented it to our party as the issue for which he could light and continue to battle until upon it victory is now assured. There are few men in his position who would have courage to boldly make the issue, and present it so clearly and forcibly as he did in his great message of ISB7. 1 be lieve that his policy then was to force a national issue which would appeal to the judgment of the people. We must honor a man who is honest enough and bold enough under such circumstances to proclaim that the success of the party upon principle is better than I£va.ftion or Shirking the true national issues for temporary success. When victory is obtained upon a principle, it forms the solid founda tion ot party success in the future. It is no longer the question of a battle to be won on the mistakes of our foes, but it is victory to be accomplished by a charge aloi.g the whole Hue under the banner of principle. There is another reason why the people demand his nom ination. They feel that the tariff re form views of President Cleveland, anil the principles laid down in his great message, whatever its temporary effect may have been, give us a living and a vital issue to light for, which has made the great victories since ISSB possible. It consolidated in one solid phalanx the Democracy of the nation. In every state of this Union that policy has been placed in Democratic platforms, and our battles have been fought upon this, and this great hotly of representative Dem ocrats has seen its good result. Every man in this convention recognizes this as the policy of the parly. In Massa chusetts it gave us Russell. In lowa it irave us Boies. In Wisconsin it gave us, Peck for governor and Vilas for sen- ; ator. In Michigan it gave us Winans for governor and gave us a Democratic, legislature, and will give us eight elec toral votes for president. In ISS3 in Ohio it gave us James Campbell for gov ernor, and in 1891 to defeat him it re quired the power, the wealth and the machinery of the entire .Republican party. In Pennsylvania it gave us Rob ert E. Pattison. In Connecticut it gave us a Democratic governor who was kept out of office by the infamous conduct of the Republican party. In New Hamp shire it gave uf a legislature of which we were defrauded, In Illinois it gave us a Palmer for senator [cheers], and in Nebraska it gave us Boyd for governor. In the great Southern states it has con tinued in power Democratic governors and Democratic legislators. In New Jersey both the legislature and execu tive are Democratic. In the great state of New York it gave us David B. Hill for senator and Boswell P. Flower for governor. [Cheers.] With all these Glorion* Achievements it is the wisest and best party policy to nominate again the man whose poiicy made those successes possible. The people believe that these victories which gave us a Democratic house of represen tatives in IS9O and Democratic govern ors and senators in Republican and doubtful states are due to the courage ami wisdom of drover Cleveland, and so believing they recognize him as their meat leader. In presenting his name to the convention it is no reflection upon any of the masterful leaders of tiie party. The victories which have been obtained are not alone the heri tage of these states: they belong to the whole party. I feel that every Democratic state and that every individual Democrat has reason to re joice and be proud, ami applaud these splendid successes. The candidacy of (irover Cleveland is not a reflection upon others. It is not antagonistic to any great Democratic leader. He comes before this convention not as the candi date of any one state. He is the choice of the great majority of Democratic voters. The Democracy of Sew Jorsey, therefore, presents to this convention in this, the people's year, the nominee of the people— the plain, blunt, honest citizen, the idol of the Democratic masses— Graver Cleveland. [Cheers.] GEN. SICKLES EXCITED. A Michigan Alternate Incenses the Old Warrior. Mr. Owens, of Kentucky— We don't know what the roll is being called for. Chairman— Under the order of busi ness the roll of the states is now to be called tor nominees for president. Gov. Abbett proceeded without re ceiving more than mild applause until he reached that portiou of his address where he said: "If there was any doubt existing in my mind of the resilt of this contest, 1 would not urge on behalf of my state the views in favor of Grover Cleveland;"' the mention offthe name of the Satce of Buzzard's Bay was a signal for thunderous applause. An alternate for one of the Michigan delegates attempted to carry the Cleve land banner, which had once before to day aroused such enthusiasm, over into the New York delegates. He sought to enter at the row of seats where Gen. Sickles sat. Great excitement prevailed when (Jen. Sickles resisted the intru sion and passed back the offending alternate. A personal encounter be tween Gen. Sickles and the offending delegate was only averted by the prompt action of a number of the Mich igan delegates, who rushed to the scene and compelled the bearer of the Cleve land banner to move away. A RSW WAR CRY. Inspiring Scene of Enthusiasm for Grover. It was 9:22 p. m. when Gov. Abbett spoke the name of Grover Cleveland for the first time from the platform of the convention, and for nearly fifteen min utes the clamor was maintained. All over tiie hall, but principally among the audieuce, meu and woiueu DAY MORNING, JUNE 23, 1802. —TEN" PAGES. wero wild with excitement. Some of them BWUQK tlioir hats ami coats aloft. While others placed their tiles on c;ine.s or folded umbrellas and waved them frantically in the air. After about elclit minutes of nandemonlum, the chair thought it was about time to take a hand in the disturbance, but it was m vain. Away off at the right of the audience a few voices raised a talotfi which swelled to a threat volume of sound to the tune of "OroTer, drover, (Jrover Cleveland." A Dumber of Urn delegates joined in (lie chorus, but thousands of feet boat time to Ihe new political song. Portraits of Cleveland started into view at various points, and as each one arose above tbe heads of tlie people in Its neighborhood there was Immedratelv a storm of applause. A Dumber of hisses were beard, and tlio cheers be came for a moment less vociferous; but it would never do to be hissed down on an occasion like this, and after an In stant of ebb the cheers had the best of it, but the wigwam rani: acain with the howls of the Cleve land men. OPENED A VOIiCANO. Abbott Unwittingly Starts a llur rah for Hill. Gnv. Abbett proceeded with his re marks until he alluded to Senator Hill, of New York. This was a signal for an outburst of enthusiasm from the New York delegation. The tumult was communicated to the galleries and to the platform of Ihe chairman of the convention, upon which were seated many hundreds of distinguished visitors. Dr. Mary Walker created a diversion in favor of Senator Uill by arising at the back of the pjatform upon an elevated seat and waving her handkerchief and shouting for Hill. Gov, Abbett could not continue his remarks or be heard for at least twenty-live minutes. Unlike when Cleveland's boom was o;< and the New York delegation n> mainod irlum and silent, now. under the insp iratiou of Hill's name, they rose in their seats and waved everything they could lay their hands on. Gen. Sickles raised on the end of his crutch a por trait of Hill, and a great swell of yells spread over the hall. Other portraits of Hill were procured, and there was a determination evident on the part of the Hill men to eiwal the Cleveland demonstration, not only in time, but in quantity of noise. Among the delegates from New York who were the loudest and most vigorous in their demonstra tion were Delancey Nicoll, Corporation Counsel Clarke. Mayor Grant, William J. Ellis, David Leventrilt ar.d Police Commissioner James Martin. Dick Croker felt that his lime had come, and, mounting a chair, he raised his sten torian voice in aid of the general clamor. PHYSICAL DEMONSTRATIONS. Result From the Great Unlirn- boring for David B. Fifteen minutes after the rumpus was commenced President Wilson began rapping with his pave!, but succeeded only in .increasing the awfal uproar. Gen. Sickles, tiring of holding on his crutch the portrait of Hill, delegated that duty to a young man of extraordinary stature, who jumped on a chair and held the picture as high as he could. Frederick Opp, of T«'xns. appeared in the midst of the confusion with a Cleveland portrait, which he waived defiantly above his : head. Some one rolled a newspaper into a ball and threw it, at Mr. Opp. who dodged and still continued his performance. Finally a Ilillite tore the obnoxious portrait out of the hands of the gentleman from Texas and threw it at the face of the man from the Lone Star state. While the demonstration was at its height one of Chicago's thun der storms passed over the wigwam, and with its deep tones emphasized the 1 demonstration for New York's senator. The delegates caught the idea and out thundered the thunder itself with their howls and yells. Whiie the excitement was at its height a Cleveland man on the - west side of the house sung out. "ll in-. rah for Grover!" In a moment he was rapped under the ear by a Hill man, and a lively scuffle was on at once. A lieutenant of police and another man jumped in and quieted the fracas, re moving both of the pugilists from the hall. Twenty-four minutes the demon stration lasted, when the exhausted •delegates and audience relapsed into their seals, and Gov. Abbett was per mitted to continue. STOPPED BY A STORM. A Drenching Kain Forces an In termission. On the conclusion of Gov. Abbett's speech a renewed outburst of Cleveland enthusiasm followed, which did not cease for ten or more minutes. The confusion was greatly heightened by the violent storm, which poured down torrents of rain upon the open roof of the building and soon drenched the vast assembly. The noise of the rain upon the boards overhead and the rolling of the thunder, added to the shouts and cries of the dele gates ana spectators, rendered it im possible to proceed with business. The chairman of the convention had to abandon his position at his desk mi ac count of the downponring torrent, and an umbrella was raised over his head like a Chinese sunslmd'j over the man darin in the play of The Mikado." The secretary at last proceededed in desperation with the call of the states, beginning with California. Hon. George F. Patton responded on behalf of the delegation, seconding the nomi nation of Grover Cleveland, amidst ap plause. Colorado was the next state called, when T. J. O'Donnell announced to the i chair that Colorado gave way to New ] York. Hon. William C. De Witt, from j the New York delegation, was put for ward to make the speech putting in nomination Senator David B. Hill, and he came forward upon the platform for that purpose. The chairman said: Gentlemen of the convention, I desire to present to you Hon. William C. De Witt, of the st;»tu of New York.
