CHICAGO, July 1O.-Tarpey, of the Cali
fornia delegation, this morning says that
the only obstacle remaining in the way OF
Thurman's nomination is Hoodley's can
didacy in Ohio. The California delega-
ton is more hopeful this morning. Pro-
baby there will be no ballot to-day. Car
sonal explanation, repealed the intimation
made by one of the speakers yesterday thai
he had packed the hall with o clique, which
applsuded his speech in %seconding the
nomination of Governor Cleveland. A
communication was received and read
from the Chairman of the Committee on
Resolutions, stating that the committee,
notwithstanding their constant and
patient efforts, had not yet been able to
complete u platform, and would not be
prepared to make q completed report be-
fore 7 P. NJ.
The unfinished business Of yesterday
being the call of States for nominations,
was resumed. Mansur OF Missouri came
to the Platform and made q nomination
speech. He said that Missouri would have
given 80 stalwart Democratic votes for the
old ticket. headed by the Sage OF Gram
mercy and his venerated friend from Indi-
ana, Mr.. Hendricks. As they could
not have the old ticket he had
been casting about to see who was
the man who should lead the embattled
hosts of the Democracy to a grand and
frtnrtnro ulntnpu Nnfhtnn ohark a N
blunder could make the Democracy lose
the election. With % Democratic Gov
ernors and 20 Democratic Legislative Rep
resentstives, 253 electoral votes out of 4Ol,
nothing but u fatal blunder could make
the Democracy lose. With Thurman as
their standard bearer, they could carry
Ohio, New York and California. In proof
Of this statement be repeated a converse
ton he had had with Gen. Spinola, and
other Tsmmany men, and read kilograms
from Ohio and California. In conclusion,
he declared before God that the Democracy
was hungry even unto death, not for venal
spoils OF Office, but for the glory of doing
good to their fellow beings. Laughter
and applause.
Livingston of Missouri rose and seconded
the nomination of Gov. Cleveland, but the
Chair stated that it would require unani.
nous consent. No matter, said Living
ston, as we have got our work in anyhow.
Laughter.
Thomas E. Powell of Ohio came to the
platform and put in nomination Gov.
George Hoadley. He declared that if the
Democracy was true to itself, its success 10
the coming struggle was already assured.
Within the last few years he said the State
OF Ohio had overcome a Republican ma.
jority of over 100, 900, and at this hour the
Government of Ohio was in the keeping of
the great Democratic party. The man
who had been the acknowledged leader in
bringing about that change was the candi-
date whom be now presented, Gov. George
Hoadley OF Ohio. Great applause.
Hoadley had received the largest indorse-
ment ever given to a Democrat in Ohio,
getting $4,000 more votes than Hancock
received in 1880. He was known TO the
nation as q great lawyer, wise statesman, q
fearless and aggressive leader, q man of
acknowledged ability, of undoubted integ-
rity, and a man of courage.
The State OF Pennsylvania having been
reached in the call, Senator William A.
Wallace Of that State came to the plat.
form and nominated Mr.. Randall. He
said Mr.. Randall controlled the vote in
the pivotal States more certainly than any
of the distinguished men named. He
asked, where does success lie, if not in
Minnesota? Not in Iowa, or any other of
the confirmed Republican States. but in
the close States carried by TilGen in 1876.
He reviewed the arguments urged for
Cleveland, and said these all applied TO
Thurman, Baysrd and others. Then,
what is the excuse in putting aside these
grand Democratic veterans for a new man ?
The record of Randall is pure and stain.
less, while he has been in behalf of an econ.
omical and honest government. These are
practical efforts for reform. Randall
would sweep New Jersey like q great polit-
ical cyclone. He is the friend of the labor
ers everywhere, and this convention could
do no better than nominate him.
Leroy Woman OF South Carolina also
seconded the nomination OF Mr.. Bayard.
Henry o. Kent of New Hampshire also
seconded the nomination Of Cleveland
