A big cheer went up when the Jefferson
Club, ot rblladelpbln, marcned into tbe ball
carrying a white silk banner, which tne
leader of the delegation svt up beside .Mr.
Cleveland's box.
Tho arrival of tbe Vlrclola delogates was

to their places tbo baud struck up "Dl.lo"
and "Old Dan Tucker." Alter that oery

rousing cheers.
Tour Yearn More of IJrovcr."
Tbe Jerscymeii brought a band with tbcm,
which took up lib position on the opposite
side ot tho auditorium, and immediately
started in with tho familiar baby toag irom
"Wang." Tho crowd went wild with enthu
slasm and Joined In tbe chorus to tho words
ot "drover, Orover, four jears more ot
drover." wltb a vigor which made tho elcc-trlc-llgbts
tremble
As secretary Gardner had predicted, the
crowd was chock lull of enthusiasm which
would not be repressed. Tbey cheered every
thing, Including all tbe familiar alra played
by tne two bands, and when a fresh supply ot
portraits of Clovelaud and btevenson were
brought In and hung around on tbe galleries
and boxes tho crowd shouted Itself hoarse.
The speaker's stand In the centre of the
stage was decorated with a new flag and a
stone water Jug, and the attention ot tbe
audience was divided between watching that
point and the empty box whlcn was reserved
lor Mr. Cleveland a party. .
At 10.30 none or tbe officers of tbe Conven
tion appeared, and tho crowd, though good
humored, began to got a little impatient.
Mr. Cleveland G'amr In.
It was 10.46 when Chauncey 1'. Iilnck, the
President ot the National Association, camo
upon tbe stage and took his place ut tbo
speaker's desk. Ills appearance was a signal .
for loud applause, but it was nothing to the
cheering which biokc forth a motneut after, I
when cx.I'resldent Cletclaud followed him
upon the platform.
1 be en tiro auolenca rose to Its feet, and
erected Mr. Cleveland with a yell thai nearly
lifted the root ot tbe building.
Mr. Cleveland was accompanied nn tbe
stago by Gen. l'atrlik A. Collins, of lloston,
who was chosen as tho I'crmanent Chair
man ot the Convention.
'the candidate, acknowledged tbe tribute
paid to blm by tho Imuicnso uudlence, wltlt a I
smile and a ton, and then tniK hn peat on I
one ot tho front row chairs Just behind Gen. I

'ihe cheering was continued for secr3l
moments without Interruption. 'Ihentbue
was a breathing spoil, and somebody in tbe i
nailery yelled out in a strong vulco : I
"Three cheers tor urover Cleveland, tbo
next President I"
This caused tbe crowd to break looso again,
and tliele was another iu minutes of shout

'Ibo coinplolnnnt In tbo cnte was William

M"lhcsin's statement made In court tbls
morning w as as follows :
About y o'clock Sunday morning Mulhearn,
whu was partially under tho Inlluenco ot

tho northwest coiner of Tenth nvenuo and
'J hlrty-eluhth street, when l'ollccinuu cralg,

Mulhearn and the policeman were ac
quainted, and upon tho latter's offering to
tako Mulhearn homo he accepted.
Mulhearn said ho had tho roll of money,
$1117, in his trousers pocket nt tho time.
Upon their arrival at Mulhearn's lodgings
tbo vender throw himself dotvu upon a
lounge and went to sleep.
'1 Hero was a light In tbo room and Mul
hearn said that tbe last thing he remembered
was that ho saw Cralg in the room with him.
Mulhearn did not uwako until 11 o'rlock
tbo next morning. When ho put his band In
his pocket the money was gone.
1'redcrlck Ycagcr, who drives a wagon for
Mulheam, nnd who occupies a room adjoin
ing, told Mulbcurn tbat, attracted by the
light In tbe latter's room, he had looked In
nnd discovered Cralg standing over the sleep
ing man and In the act of taking the money
irom his trousers' pocket.
Veager thought nothlnir of it at the time,
as be knew tbat Mulhcain and the policeman
ncre friends, and ho thought Cralg was
taking the money for safe-keeping.
Mulhearn suw cralg at 0 o'clock Sunday
evening on his post, and broached tbo matter
to blm. )
He said Cralg admitted taking $55 with
the intention ot returning It as noon as Mul
hearn sobered up. Jlo promised to return the
money In an hour, but failed to do so.
Mulhern said he saw Cralg again, about 8
o'clock Monday morning and on asking about
tho money cralg denied having taken any or

at once arrested the policeman.
cralg was taken before Supt. Byrnos and
then to the Jefferson Market station.
In tho pollco court this morning Ycrgcr

nied that he took any money from Mulhern.
When searched at tbe statlon-houso tbe
sum of oi was found In Cralg a possession.
He claimed tbls was his own money which he

JIN HIGHEST COURT,
i -
Apportionment Oases Areued Be

Mr. Sutherland Speaks Against tho
Legality of the Act.
The Othrr Side Upheld ly Attorney-General
Koiendulc.
IT irciAn rar.t
Aibanv, Oct. 4. Tho thrco apportionment
cases came up In tho Court ot Appeals tbls
morning, each one embracing the question of
the constitutionality of the now Apportion
ment law.
In tbe case of People ex rcl Horn, nppoll
ant, vs. Board of Supervisors of onilda
county, II. J. cooklngbntn was presont tor
appellant and D. 1'. Bcarlo for respondent.
In tho Mouroo coso C. D. Uluhel, city At
torney ot Itochester, wnuli a Itepubllcan.
spoke for tbo constitutionality ot the law,
William A. Sutherland appearing tor the
Board ot Bupcrvlsors.
In tho third case, that of citizen carter, nt
Utlca, against socretary of Stato Itlce, Mess's.
Hlstey and Lovo appeared tor Cartel, nnd At.
torney.Oeneral Itoaeudulu tor the been tary
of State.
When the court convened at 10 o'clock
numborof stato officers were present. Mr.
Iltsloy Bald that Mr. Sutherland would mako
the main argument for tbo Itepubllcans, and
Attornoj-Uoneral Ho;endalo would make the
prluclpal argument for the Democrats.
Mr. Sutherland opened, saying that bo
would make a general argument covering tho
tbreo cases.
Mr. butherland's argument first dealt with
the alleged inequalities of representation
provided by the ac undor consideration. He
held that Monroe County was Justly entitled I
to four Assemblymen, whereas the act of !
180S eave but three. Albany County, with a
population of 1B0.748, has four Assembly,
men. Monroe's population Is tHl.'.'.iu.
It was argued that the Legislature of lRlis
had attempted to nullify the constitutional
principal oi equality of representation and to
decree that one vote in Dutchess County shall
have moro than twice tbo political power of
ons vote lu St. Lawrence, and that tbo
Duebets,Albany and Itoossclaer citb-ens shall
te twice as potential in tbe legislative balls
ot Albany as the citizens of Monroe, bt. Law.
renco and Chautauqua.
said Mr. Sutherland:
If tbe apportionment of 1K93 can ta tolerated hr
the oourU, nethln. etanda in the ue of acmi
future apportionment, in roeponee tuanjreariUeu
Teof uopuhvr eentluent, "blob woul I reriuo
the county uf dew Yofk to flfleeii meruliere; lire
ten to tbo rountr of Muutuo and tli e to the ronntr
orKrlaiand If tbe Thirteenth Senatorial DUtrlel
ma eonttltutlooallf oomprUe more tban mice the
number of peoplalnUe Iweiftb, tho tberoieno
leeion why an acrkultural rountr may not fcaf
three Senator to every oue given to the city ot
New York for the nn. number of people.
Tbe next point urged was tbat tho upoclal
session at which tbe Apportionment act was
passed was not tbo "next bcsslon aftertbn
return of tbe enumeration" contemplated by
the constitution.
Prior to lsyi tho same Legislature which
directed tho census could havo rearraueid
tbe districts.
'Ihe constitution ot 1777 as amended in
1801 said at Art, IV., "that upon tlio reiurn
of every such census, tho Lcgblaturo shall
apportion." itc.
IlutM ism the people had evidently con
cluded i hat. an election should Interuno be
tween the return nt the census and the act of
redlstrlcilng. so that tbo pcoplu could si cak
directly on tbo subject.
The constltullon of 1821, therefore says,
as does that of 18411: "An apportionment of
members of Assembly shall bu made by tho
I.eglslaturo at Us first eesslon utter tho re
turns," ore.
Tbewoid session as here used means the
entire period covered by the Hie ot one Legis
lature, to wit, one calonuar year.
The Governor was not able to create a now
Legislature by reconvening tbe old one.
'the Legislature which adjourned alne die.
April SI, was tbe same Legislature when it
assembled April 25, and Its dnlugs on both
dates were the acts ot the Legislature at Its
one hundred and niteenth session.
Tbe last point mado was that tbo Appor
tionment of 181)2 was void becausb not based
on aocnsug taken us the Constitution pro
vides, bald the speaker:
The Oonvtltutlo nya "tbe anumeratloi shall
