but she said, with smile:

No one had been noticing old Sally, nor
had they seen how at the sound of Harry

hobbled toward him as fast as her crippled
condition would permit.

excitedly, peering up at him with hertwink-

The young man turned and looked at the
wizened old face, and with glad ring Of
resppnition in his voice, put ont his hand.
"Howdy, Maum Sally?" he said. I've

assault on Cleveland was shrewdly made,
but the convention would have cut him
short of at the knees if Dan Manning had
not made request that Grady be allowed
to proceed If the at ek on Cleyelad had
come from any other sU...ce than Tammany
it would have injured him seri-
ously. Tammany is in bad
odor in this convention, and very
little patience is exercised toward the or
gauization Judge Cochran, Of New York,
who seconded Thurmans nomination, did a
great deal toward retrieving the ground the
Ohio statesman lost in the beginning.
Cochran belongs to the anti.Clevelani
wing. He is physical as well as
Intellectual Giant,
and made the most telling argument against
Cleveland that was presented during the
day. He was listened to by the weary
convention with patient interest. His in.
delicate reference to Tilden's canvass at ST.
Lou is, however, destroyed good deal Of
the effect that the speech would have other
wise had. Treasurer Edgard, Of New
York, in brief, well-arranged speech, an
swered the Tammany assault salts
iactorily. At o'clock, after a con.
tinued session ofseven hours, the convention
tired and hungry adjourned until to-mor-
row. Cleveland has fairly held his own to-
day, and his managers keep his orgaEiza-
ton compact He has majority against
the field, but has not quite reached the
coveted two-thlrds. Combinations made
might will carry Cleveland Through to the
nomination at an early vote tomorrow, or
will make his nomination absolutely i'm
possible. G. II. y.

CHICAGO, July 10, 2 A. NJ Exclusive.
The Committee on Resolutions tonight
unanimously agreed on a tariff plank in the
platform 1t is substantially the West Vir-
ginia plank adopted al Charleston, or what
is known as the Ohio theory, and appears
to put on the free list all raw material not
produced in this country. Good feeling
prevails tonight, and the impression is gen
eral that Cleveland will win. Tammany
still continues its fight against him,
and is trying to concentrate al opposition
on Thurman. The latter's friends are
urging Henry S. Walker to make speech
to second Thurmsn's nomination. Walker
has not yet decided to do so. An active
canvass and much caueusing is going on in
the hotels There was large Thurman

CHICAGO, July 9.--The Committee on
Platform after sitting till ? o'clock this
morning resumed its session at 10 o'clock
and heard number of delegations asking
for insertions ofplanks for special interests.
Among them one of the wool growers in be-
half of an increase Of tariff on wool. The
committee listened TO Gen. Faulk-
ner, of New York, Cowden, OF
Ohio and Stockdale. OF Pennsylvania,
In addition to argument, they presented
the demand of the Wool-grOwers National
Convention adopted here last May. A dele
CATION of inventors presented the claims OF
that class of citizens for law for their pro-
lection as set forth in the National COnven-
ton of Inventors held here two or three
months ago. Howard l.. Smith (colored)
of Boston, on behalf of the Sumner Ma
tonal Independents Of Boston, presented,
through General Butler, requests for recog
milton in the platform of full civil rights
to the colored race as set forth in the Dem
ocra,ic platform of 1872, depreciating
special legislation in defining citizenship as
such legislation, depreciates the manly
status OF the particular nationality it effects,
and asking guarantee of the free exercise
Of the elective franchise in every State in
the Union. After hearing these claims for
recognition the committee proceeded to
choose subcommittee to draft platform.

Upon the conclusion of the call of States
and before the vote was announced, the
Chair said: The gentleman from New
York, who, when the State of New York was
called, challenged the vote Of that State,
will now state the ground of that challenge.
Mr. Grady-I.hold in my hand the OIL

the State of New York, nineteen voting in
the affirmative and forty:nine voting
in the negative, four OF the
delegates not being present In
the convention. ask that the vote be
recorded as cast
The Chsir-The chairman of the delega-
ton from New York will again state the
vote.
Mr.. Manning-New York votes seventy
two votes, no.
The Chair-The Chair is unable to enter
tain the challenge of the gentleman from
New York, or to recognize it as valid upon
the facts he states, because, as before an
nouuced TO this convention, New York votes
under instructions from her convention as
a unit upon all questions.
Clunie, of California, moved as an amend

but no vote shall be taken on the nomina-

CLEVELAND.

Naxt 10 Mr.. TuDES, we are satisfied
,C,ovsrnor G. EvELASD is the strongest can
LFd.,e that can be nominated. He has
much of TuDEy's prestige, having proved,
rs TupEx did, invineible before the people,
ard having, as TmDEx did, triumphed re-
peatedly over adverse majOrities. He rep
resesss more fully than any other man the
idea that made TILDEN so strong-the policy
or administrative reform. He Is sSate man
without being a great one, and strong
man without being strongly intellectual.
Il Is possible that the intrigue Of
factions in New York may prevent
his nomination. If so, moreis to the shame
of the Democratic party. For we speak
deliberately when We say that it could bet
Ter be defeated now and again than to sub
NIT TO the dictation of JOIN KELLY, who
goes to the convention solely that be may
strike down the strongest man and put a
man Of his own choosing in his place. For
twelve wears the Democrats Of the country
have been insulted and bullied BY Mr.. JOIN
NELLY and his adherents, and the time
has come to stop it. In 1876 he at
tempted 10 cut down TILDEN, tine fsvorits
candidate; in 1880 he still aimed at the great
leader and succeeded in preventing his nom
ination. In 1884 he again assaults the man
who. without his interference, would be
promptly and overwhelmingly nominatedby
the party at large.
With CLEVELAND victory will be assured.

CHICAGO, July The Cleveland man
ayers were industriously at work all night.
The circular issued by the Young Mems

pressed upon the attention et the outside
delegates Ii urges the termination Of
Cleveland on account of his availability.
The independent REPUBLICANS being attract
ed to him. Their support will Ne for the
benefit of the Democratic party The dele
gates are further advised that in order to in
sure the support of these Republicans it is
necessary to have plank in the platform
favoring revenue reform. 1T is a fact to
be carefully noted" say the friends of Cleve-
land.
The Republican revolt against Mr.. Blame
is composed, for the most part, of iudivid-
uals and journals who are in favor OF tariff
reform. There are other Republicans rel.
resented here not considered by these gem
tlemen They are not free traders, but are
those who do not ike the sweeping ten
dency to Capitalization by RepubhcaniSm.
The legal teuder decision is referred to as
cause for complaint The opinion of
Justice Field in this case and the opinion
in other cases involving questions of local
government These men are favorable to
Justice Field, and have made a strong i'm
preston in behalf of that gentleman. Very
iudiciouS work has been done for Mr. Field,
and if the instructions of the California
delegation did not stand in the way of
demonstration in his behalf it would be
more pronounced
The Enthusiasm
shown for Senator Thurman yesterday en-
couraged many in the hope that he would
finally be selected as a compromise candi-
date. Nothing can be urged against him,
say they. The Californisns are very dem.
onstratiye in pushing his candidacy. and If
Ohio we're. united for him and equally as
zealous. he would be very formidable.
