CLEVELAND AND HENDRICKS.
Democratic Nominees for President and
Vice President.

tThe National Democratic Convention, on
Friday of last week, nominated Grover
Cleveland, Of New York, for President on
the second ballot, and Thes. A. Hendricks,
Of Indiana, for Vice President. So many
days have since elapsed, and the daily papers
have 50 fully published the voluminous pro-
ceedings of the Convention, that we believe
it not desirable to devote the several columns
necessary to detailed account thereof. Our
report is therefore limited to salient points
and practical results.-ED. N. N.-w)
