the retirement to her second choice. Ohio fee
bly, seconded their mans nomination through
old Durbin Ward, picturesque man, but dull
speaker That Ohio's heart was not in this
nomination was shown by the failure of more
than half of her delegation to rise and join in
cheering Thurman's name. Among those who
sat still was the Chairman, John Mclean; while
John G. Thompson, the boss whom he has de-
posed, jumped on a chair and wildly, but in
vain, sought to get up hurrah by signaling the
Ohio shouters in the gallery to wave the red
bandana handkerchief with which they had
been provided for this emergency.
EULoGIsN OF CARLISLE.
Kentucky came next with an effort in the
well-known florid style of Kentucky oratory
The speaker was ex-Congressman Mckenzie.
This nominee, of course, was Carlisle. "You
may urge" said he, that he lives on the south
side OF the Ohio river -, But, my God, is there
this crime?" His plea for the obliteration of sec
tional lines was eloquent and so effective that
he had genuine ovation, especially from his
Southern colleagues.
FIGHT OF THE FACTIONS
The call of New York brought forth an at
tempt to duplicate the scene attending the name
of Maine in the same hall month ago. 1t was
not successful Such scenes are not repeated
Cleveland was well nominated by his close per-
sonal friend Congressman Lockwood of New
York, who has nominated him for every office
that he has held, from Sheriff of Buffalo to Gov
ernor of New York. The spread-eagle part of
the Cleveland business was done by that model
Western retormer and advocate of pure govern
ment, Carter Harrison, who seconded the NOM
ination. The applause attending these speeches
was sufficient at least to show once more that
the disposition of a majority of the Convention
was strongly towards Cleveland. Harrison put
the teeth of timid hearers on edge by going a
little too much into details. He defended Cleve-
land from the charge that he had antagonized
the Irish and labor elements in his party
% Did you ever know" he asked, IAN Irish
man to vote against the Democratic par
ty or knife the Democratic ticket except
for good Cause Yes was the unexpected
answer from various parts of the house,
and for while the confusion was great When
Harrison got through, Grady of New York tried
to get the floor, but there was so much objec-
ton that the Chair failed TO see and recognize
him and recognized another Cleveland speaker.
Grady persevered and presently took the plat
form. The curiosity at to what he would say
ovcrcame opposition and gave him a hearing,
little as the disposition was on the part of the
Cleveland people to give him fair play. Curl
osity was quickly satisfied in Gradys DECLARE
ton that he proposed to prove Grover Cleveland
is not the choice of the New York delegation,
and cannot carry the state of New York if
nominated. At once there was an attempt 10
stop his mouth by points of order. and the Chair
actually ruled Grady off the floor The young
Irish orator folded his arms and quietly faced
the bowling crowd. \ reaction was inevitable
if the gag-law was enforced. Dan. Manning
caught this point and came to the rescue with
motion that unanimous consent be given for
Tammauy'S representative to state his case.
That the suggestion came from the Cleveland
headquarters was sufficient for il to prevail.
Grady then Went on i'll fair temper to demon
strate Cleveland's unavailability. His most
significant utterance was the declaration that
the clements of the Democratic party, the Catho-
who are opposed to Clevelands nomination,
would also oppose his election.
