Mr.. Manning OF New York arose and said. NJ
chairman, New York presents the name ~ 10,

David Lockwood Of Buffalo. Mr. LockwooJ
made a good speech and 1t was we'll received
senator GRADY OF New York tried 20 catch
tho eye OF tho chair, but the latter rocogni1sj
Mayor Carter Harrison Of Chicago, assnriOa
Mr. Grady that he would be recognized in nc
turn. Mr.. Harrison made q speech secondino
tho nomination Of Grover Cleveland. When he
had concluded there were cries Of "Kellya and
some confusion. ~
Richard A. Jones Of Rochester Ninpasot.
then spoke from the platform In behalf ~
Cleveland He acknowledged that Minnesota
ssss republican state, but pleaded with his
hearers TO give her a chance 20 add 10 the r-Ii
Of Democratic voters within her borders
Such additions, no said, would be easier wers
GroyeF Cleveland chosen as the leader al
the party, and the announcement was greet
ed with loud cheers. To many Min
nesotians Mr.. Jones' voice and infections of
emphasis recalled those Of G. X. Davis OF 81.
Paul, though the similarity between the men
ends with the points mentioned Mr. Homes
spoke for less than three minutes, and in clos
ing beamed with good humor upon the dele
gates, whom he thanked for their attention and
applause,
Mr.. Grady Of New York next got the plat
form. Before he had gone on five minutes il
was plain that the only purpose OF his speech
was an attack on Cleveland, and Gen. Bragg
made tho point Of order that the order of husf5
ness was tho nominating aud not the defama-
ton OF candidates. The chairman was dis
posed to sustain the point, when the willy Man
ming played his trump card and
asked in the name Of the
New York delegation that Grady BIO heard pa
tlently, regardless Of the rule. No other OBJ.
lection being made, he was permitted TO 20 on.
The shTewdness Of this move was proceeded
with what turned out 10 be an hours diStribe,
~accumulating al the stock arguments against
Cleveland which have been hOwled through the
hotel corridors since Sunday. The interest in
Grady's speech subsidized as the contest over il
disappeared
Mr., Cochran ofNew York made a long speech
amidst q good deal of wrkngling on points Of
order. The call had only reached Rhode Island
when the convention adjourned
