matters of minor Importance. the
Chicago Convention nominated Gov
ernor Grover Cleveland, of New
York, for President on the second
ballot. He was irl the lead from the
beginning. The opposition of the
Tammany ring to him seemed to in
crease rather than diminish his
chances. The first ballot gave him
407 votes, necessary to choice 547.
The second ballot gave him 6S3
votes. His nomination was then
made unanimous, amid great enthu-
siasm.
The convention was at times very
noisy. Occasionally pandemonium
seemed to be turned loose. Yet the
result is satisfactory.
The nomination for Vice President
was made unanimous for Hon. Thos.
A. Hendricks, of Indiana, who had
considerable following at one time in
the convention for the head of the
ticked.
WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT THE NOMINEES.

no doubt of the Governors cleo
tion.''

man, said: 81 hope Cleveland will
be elected; the country needs an
honest, able man, such as he is, and
every Democrat should vote for
him."

''The nomination means 10000 to
10000 majority in New York State
for Blaine. and should not be at

fixed with the Mayoralty, or some
other way"
