nd he paused as if waiting for tho outcome of
wnfl preconcerted arrangement, uu cuss uu
eyo toward tho Missouri delegation and appa
rently In response, Oen. Mansur, of Missouri,
Jumped up and emitted a terrific yoll. This
was Immediately taken un bv tho audlcnco.
and a tremendous shout nroso from all parts of
mo nan south or tho space aiiottcu to mo ucie
gates. Tho excitement and nolso swept grad
ually around among tho audience In tho rear
of the delegates and rolled In a tremendous
wave tnrougn ine vast mass oi spectators con
gregated In tho north wing of the chamber.
Tho chair rapped splinters offhlstablolnan
eftbrt to curb the demonstration, but ho might
ns well have attempted to stop an eruption nf
Vesuvius with tho tap nf a tack hammer. So
far tho excitement had been confined to the
audience, with the exception of a few enthus
iastic delegates, who, remaining In their scats,
waved their fans and handkerchiefs.
At length a little commotion was vlslblo
In the New York delegation, and the grim
visage of the gTand sachem of Tammany hall
was seen slowly rising out of tho confusion.
Mr. Kellv's month was wldo open, but what
ever Individual nolso was being emitted by
the gentleman was drowned In tho frightful
uproar which had taken possession of tho hall.
Mr. Kelly's rising appeared to bo tho signal for
a genera) demonstration on tho part of the
ami-Cleveland men In tho convention. Dele
gates In all parts of tho spaco within tho rail
ing sprang up on their chair, and raised a yell
of unparallod Intensity, rromlnent among
the members of tho bodv which assisted In
creating this section of Bedlam w cro tho dolo
stations from Indiana, Missouri, Wisconsin,
Pennsylvania, and tho Tammany end of tho
Kcw York delegation,
In the midst of the turmoil tho band struck
tip "Hall to the Chief," but tho thundering
noise of the demonstration Increased in voltimo
until tho strains of music were lost in tho
deafening uproar. Ono onthitslastlo delegate
from Indiana, Mr. Gibson, seised tho Indiana
marker and bore It to tho chairman's desk,
waging it frantically as ho passed up the aisle,
and he shouted something at tho chairman's
ear. Tho chairman, however, refused to
listen, hut continued to thumo tho desk, with
his gavel, and Mr. Gibson retired. In tho
meantime tho audlcnco and delegates vied
with each other in producing 'cnr-spllttlng
toolscs, which drowned out tho voices of two
or three dozen Cleveland men who were
Dttcmptlng to get the car of tho chair. With
all this turmoil about him Gov. Hendricks
I (reserved an external calmness which con
rastcd strikingly with tho fronsy that pos
sessed the last assemblage Ho sat as If frozen
fast to his chair, and resisted tho determined
efforts of a horde of shouting delegates who
tried to drag him to his feet. ,
A numhor of Tammanyltcs resumed their
teats, but Senator Grady danced about on his
chair, violently waving n newspaper. Flags,
handkerchiefs, fahs. hats, and cv en coats and
shawls wcro brought lntouso by tho Hendricks
sympathizers in tho audience. All at nnco out
of tho terrific uproar cgmo aolco llko the blast
'of a fdg horn, and Mr. Beck, of Indiana, called
forthr.eo cheers for Thomas A Hendricks. Tho
'(Shears wcro given with an almost venomous
good will.
wGcn. Mansur 'forced his w" "-ynigh the
crowds In tho aisle and ellui up to Chair
man Vilas's position with a statement that
Missouri wished to cast Its voto solid for Thos.
A. Hendricks, but the chair, with a few vigor
ous thumps of his gavel, which now began tn
look worn and frayed at tho edges, Inlbrmod
thfi Mlssourlnn that ho was out of ordor.
The Hon. James M. Quarlcs, of Tennessee,
Informed the chair, In a stentorian v oice, that
blrstato desired to put in nomination Thos.
A. Hendricks.
Mr. Quarlcs also tried his hand on the chair
man, but with no bettor success than that
achieved by Gen. Munsur. Gen. Bragg, of
Wisconsin, attempted to get In a word on tho
score of old friendship and prev lous acquaint
ance with tho chairman, but Col. Vilas stcrnlv
.repudiated all personal claims, and continued
to belabor bis desk and call for order. Out of
the confusion roso the clarion voice of Secre
tary Thomas Bel), repeating tho call for tho
vote of Illinois, but neither' from Illinois nor
any olhe.1 commonwealth camo any audible
'response, except yells for Hendricks. Tho
deafening uproar had now usurped tho rights
of all other business for a period of eighteen
minutes. Senator Vaprhecs appeared at tho
tide of tho chairman" and tho noise and ex
citement graduully subsided.
Finally Mr. Voorhees's volcowas heard, call
ing "Mr. Chairman 1"
The chair said: "Gentlemen of tho conven

negatlvo from tho chairman, said : "Then, sir,
tho stato or Indiana casts 30 votes for Thomas
A. Hondrlcks."
When tho voto of Indiana was announced for
nendrlcks, nnd It was apparent that his nomi
nation was unanimous, tho delegates and the
audlcnco roso to their feet and lndulccd In tho
usual extravagant demonstrations. Tho whole
houso was a tt'.a. of undulating color formed by
waving handkerchiefs of overy hue, hats, um
brellas, and everything elso which could bo

a procession and marched around tho hall,
while thaband favored tho crowd with "Tho

Immediately upon tho cossation of tho muslo
the peopio began again with a second chapter
or uproar, when tho band came In with

scream by tho southern members, ably assisted
by the northern wing of tho democracy. Suc

8CENE3 AND INCIDENTS.
Graphic Description of tho Stirring Events, of
Yesterday's Sessions.
Chicago, III., July 11. Tho.fourth and last
day of tho national democratlo convention
opened, as yesterday, with an overflowing
house. It has been a week from to-day sluco
delegates arrived in tho city. During that
tlmo they havo gone through great physical
labor and mental suspense. Some of thern
havo not averaged four In twenty-four hours
sleep, and physically tueyuro about as tired
out as men cau bo. Thoy, however, came up
smiling this morning, and, Judging from tho
enthuslastlo greeting given Mr. Hendricks
when ho appeared In tho hall, their lung
power was not exhausted. From tho time
nf tho adjournment of tho convention,
at 2 o'clock this morning, up to
tho time of Us reassembling to-day
tho nntl-Clovolanditcs had used every eflort
that a disorganized and rattled class of politi
cians could ue to concentrate their demora
lized forces upon somo candidate strong
enough to hold one-third of the convention
against Cleveland. Tho namos or new men
wcro canvassed, and among them Mr. Heu
drick's. Allofthuso attempts met with dis
aster. Tho Meld was not strong enough to de
feat Mr, Cleveland, and It was not managed
w Ith that kklllaud generalship so necessary to
success. Cleveland had tho machine as well
tlireo months ago as ho had to-day. The
machine Is a great cugltio or power In tho na
tional convention; that it would triumph to
day has never been doubled by any ono hero
who hns closely w ntched tho progrcssol evmts
nnd carefullv studied tbe" filiation.
lho Now York governor had tho bulgo frpm
thu (tart. Ho got a good Mart In tho race, and
could not be headed. It was understood be
fore tho balloting commenced that tho name
nfMr. Ilnmlall would bo withdrawn lrom tbo
convention, and that lrom thlrty-llvo to lorty
of the lVnnsylvaulans would go to Cleveland,
Then thotalK was that tho voles of Marland
and other wtatoi would be east for Cleveland,
It v as confidently expected that only ono bal
lot w ould bo necessary to nominate.

1 uon Pennsylvania wm reached tho cbairv
man asked leave to retire, which was granted.
At this Junction tho utmost anxiety prevailed
to know what Pennsylvania vVould do. It was
confidently expected that It would dlvldo Its
voto equally ncurccn uioveianu asti lien
drlcks. Col. McClure, of the Philadelphia
Timet, who sat In tho seat adjoining your cor
respondent, said ho feared that It was another
caso of Gartlcld. Garfield nominated Sher
man, and tho convention nominated Garfield.
When Pennsylvania returned In tho hall,
and Its chairman announced 42 votes for Cleve
land, another stirring scone Occurred, and the
Cleveland men knowing that this gave them a
majority of thirty over a majority of the votes
cast, they wero enthusiastically eangnlno of
tho result aud cheered llko victors. v hen tho
roll of the states bad been finished and beforo
tho result was announced, a dozen of men
wcro clamoring for recognition from tho chair.
It was evident that tho convention had not
been stampeded for Hendricks. The Clovoland
ranks had stood firm agnlnrt tho flerco and de
termined assault of tho opposition.
When the stales began to change their votes
lo Clovcland and thero win now no longer a
doubt but that he had received tho requlstto
two-thirds majority tho cxcltomentwaslntcnso
and tho convention was a solid inass of stand
ing men and women. Nobody were In their
scats, except perhaps tho reporters. At this
tlmo a beautiful eagle surmounting an anchor
set with flowers camo from tho New York dele
gation. Thocaglo borolnlta mouth a whlto
silk badgo. upon which was inscribed tho
namo of "Cleveland." The eaglo reached tho
filatform, and then tho band atruclcup "Hall
othoChltr."
Tho flairs and emblems were fitrinned.from
their fastenings and waived aloft and overy
ncmonsirauonpossiDiowairctorteuio. roaua
to tho scene, the banner of 'New York was car
ried to tho platform and nailed lu front of tho
convention. New Jersey and Connecticut ban
ners were placed at Its side.- Then Indiana's
banner was brought up and the banners of tho
southern states were placed In a solid mass.
Hats and fans wcro thrown from the galleries
and caught up by those on tho floor and sailed
through tho building. Ladles stripped their
heads of bonnets and tossed tbem in the air,
A shower of whlto handkerchiefs floated from
tho gallery, and every two or t hrco minutes tho
wildest cheering would be ropcatcd. In tho
midst of this great uproar tho roar of tho can
non was heard on tho outsldo.
The unanimous nomination of Mr. Cleveland
was mado at the request of Gov. nendrlcks,
through Mr. Menzlos. Loud cried vrcro next
mado for John Kolly, of Now York.
In tho call of states Kentucky was abont the
only stato in tho union that did not tjunblo to
tho situation, only giving Mr. Cleveland fcur
votes on tho llual ballot, alter his nomination
had been made by the almost solid vote oi tho
convention. The nomination was thon mado
unanimous, and to Intensify tho excitement
a Ufc-slzcd oil painting pf Mr. Cleveland,
handsomely framed, was placed In front of
the platform, which was tho signal for re-
nowed and nrolontred cheerlnsr.
Whon tho rdnventlon assembled to nominate
a vlco president thore was not near so large a
crowd present, a great deal of tho lntorest hav
ing terminated In. the nomination for tho
Sresldenoy. The surface- talk was that Mo
ouald or Vilas would' bo tho candidate,
though somo thought it might be a short horse.
A boom was being workod up for Hoadly by
tho Cincinnati Kiupiirer crowd. Tho Now
York delegation was undecided before tho con
vention met upon its choice for vloo president.
Tho delegates informed your correspondent
that the Indiana delegates did not tako kindly
tntbn Kiiirffostlon. Thov thouorht thet aa Wis
consin was a doubtful state this year It Was
llkoly that Now York woiOd spring its big voto
for Vilas. If, however, any dlsjioslttorr was
shown upon the part of tho Indlanfaus they
wouiu wuuia vote ror mm. inu inuiuumns
were perfectly Indllrerent as to what tho con.
wntlnn did. and. while the friends of Col. Vi
las were caucusing on tho floor In his Interest,
tho Indlanlans sat silently In their tents.
After tbo transaction of somo preliminary
business the convention got down to work. In
the meantime a resolution Indorsing tho Mor
rison tariff bill was offered, which at tho samo
time Indorsed ltandall and tho protectionists.
Under the rules it was referred to tbo commit
teo on resolutions to bo reported four years
hence.
Thero was not much Interest manifested, al
though each of the namespresonted was prop
erly applauded until Senator Wallace, or Penn
sylvania, nominated Hendricks. Thon thero
was a wild burst of cheering.
Mr. Monties, of Indlanai declined for Mr,
Hendricks, who was in bis toat, looking de
cidedly nervous. The failure to stampede tho
convention tn his behalf in tho morning had
somewhat chagrined him, for ho had believed
mat tue pian so careiuiiy maturou curing tno
night would surely succeed. Ho was the only
available relic of tho "old ttokat," and It was
confidently expected that lho demonstration
in his behalf would have nmegtcal effect upon
tho convention, and, turning tho tldo irom
Cleveland, nominate Mr. Itundrieka, to com
pensate him for the alleged fraud of 1876.
Tho schemo didn't work, and Mr. Hendricks
was not happy. Ho had been sent to.Chloago
to nomtuato McDonald artdbe bad performed
that duty, but had also industriously worked
up a boom in his own behalf. Ills efforts had
failed and ho was disgruntled. Ho knew that
McDonald expected tho second place on tbo
ticket, and vet he did not want to get left
again nlmself. So ho hod Mcnzio again say
that ho would not accept thonomluaton for vice
president, ho mignt navo maao me acouna
lion himself, but then the convention
would havo believed that ho meant It. bo be
sat silcut and allow ed the enthusiasm to go on
which culminated when ho .received overy
vote of tho convention. McDonald's friends
feci that he has bcon sold out by the ox-governor,
and It Is predicted that they will sulk
during tho coming- contest, so that Indiana
will be carried by the republicans by ut least
15,000.
At a conference of tho loading friends of
Cleveland aud other prominent members of
the convention, to the,nusaber of about fifty,
which took placo during the recess this after
noon, the merits of tho various candidates for
vlco presidents wore discussed, and it was
agreed If possible to nominate Thomas A.
Hendricks for that ofllco. Tho choice nar
rowed down beforo tho final decision to
Hendricks and cx-Sonator Henry G. Davis, of
West Virginia. Mr. Davis was sont for, but
gavo so so many reasons why ho should not be
placed upon the ticket and why Mr. Hendricks
should, that tho latter was at longth decided
upon. Among the most prominent members
of tho conference were Messrs. Barnum of
Connecticut. Clovoland of Now Jersoy, Smith
M. Weed of Now York, Manning of New York,
Watterson of Kentucky, Coxo oi Pennsylvania,
bcott or fenus) ivania, uurxo oi uiuisiuua,
Kornan of Now York, nay of Pennsylvania,
Gorman or Maryland, Converso ot Ohio, and
John Kelly or New York,
Tho outward trains for tho east were hoavlly
loaded this afternoon, noarly all the eastern
marching associations taking their departures.
The "Americus" and "ltandall" clubs of Phil
adelphia paraded tho streets before taking
their lcavo, bearing In addition to their club
hiiinnH nr. Inierllteil with the name of Cleve
land. Tho Tammany braves, ooo strong, took
n speelal at 6 o'clock. Somo ot tho members
took the outcomo Jocularly, but in tho main
the delegations showed Bitterness or spirit,
and some of tho marchers dtsplajed bits of
crapo lu moir Duuon uoies.
"1 think the democratlo party has commuted
liarl karl," said one of the sachems. A num
ber or opinions aro printed as coming from
John Kelly, but he declared positively that
has not conversed with any newspaperman,
and that ho has not expressed any opinion
upon tho situation, and la not responsible for
any statements coming from Tammany mem
bers who may ft el that thoy have encountored
a personal defeat. Mr. Manning nnd tho ma

"By what majority?" . . ..

Albany, t. Y., July 11. Gov. Cleveland was
at the excouttvo chamber early this morning,
with Secretary Lamout, attending to business
as usual. After tho assembling of the conven
tion tho governor was In receipt of numerous
dispatches announcing tho progress of proceed
ings. This afternoon a few personal friends
were closeted with him. The first intimation
ho had of his nomination was tho firing of
cannons by tbe Young Men's Dcmocratlo club.
Ijitcr ho rccelvod a telegram, and was v Isltcd
by qulto a number of citizens. Ho has been in
receipt of numerous telograms from dlllcront
set tlons of tho country.
Tills evening tho Jacksoulans and tho Young

nro nt Chicago, his visitors wcro nearly all prl
vato citizens, hundreds of whom visited him
during the afternoon.
Mr. James Tracy, president of tho Young
Men's Dcmocratlo club, briefly congratulated
tho governor upon his nomination on behalf of
bis associates and tho democratic, party.
Gov. Cloveland responded as follows .
Fellow Citizi.hs : I cannot but feel gratified
with this kindly greeting. I find that I am
fast reaching tho point whqro I shall count
the pcoplo nf Albany not merely as follow cltt
sens, but as townsmen nnd neighbors. On
this occasion I am. of course, aware that
you pay no compliment to a cltlion. nnd
prosont no personal tribute, but that
you have conic to domonstrato your
loyalty and devotion to a cause In which you
are heartily enlisted. Tho American peopio
aro about to oxerciso In Its highest sense their
powor nnd right of sovereignty. They nro to
call In review beforo them their public ser
vants and tho rrpresciitatlvo.of ivolltlcnl par
ties, and demand or them an account of their
stewardship. Parties may bo so long In power
ana may uccoino so arrogant ana careless oi
tho Interest or tho pcoplo as to grow heedless
or their responsibility to their masters, but tho
tlmo comes as certainly as death when tho
peopio wolgh them In tho balance.
Tho Issues to bo adjudicated by tho
nation's groat asslzo aro made up and aro
about to bo submitted. We bcllevo that the
pcoplo aro not receiving at tho hands of tho
Sarty which for nearly twenty-four years has
Ircclcd tho affairs of tho nation tho hill bene
fits to which they were entitled, of a pure,
lust, aud economical rule, and we bcllevo that
tho ascendancy of genuine domocratlo princi
ples will, insure a better government and
greater happiness and prosperity to all tho
people. To reach tho sober thought of tho
nation and to dlslodgo an enemy Intrenched
behind spoils and patronage, Involves a strug
gle which, If wo underestimate, wo invito de
feat. I nm profonndly Impressed with tho respon
sibility of tho part assigned to mo in this con
test. My heart, I know, is In tho causo, and
I plcdgo you that no eflort of m!no shall bo
wanting to socuro the victory which 1 believe
to bo within the achievement ol tho demo
cratic Hosts. Let us men enter upon tno tarn
paign now fairly opened, each one appreciat

with solid front to do battlo for bettor gov

clement In tho dcmocratlo party and a
trlhuto to the growing Indcpendeut sontltncnt
throughout the country In both parties. Ho
bad no doubt that Cleveland would bo able to
carry New York state, as ho wouldiindoubt
cdlyrecclvo tho support of tho lnutpcndent
voters In tho republican party, and his popu
larity among tho younger men was a well
established fact. Tho apposition of Tam
many Hall to Cleveland ho did not
regard as an Injury to his prospects, but ratber
as u bouellt to him. Tammanv'a strcuath. ho
said, was greatly overrated, nnd It was by no,
people supposed. If it was known that Tarn
