alton of Mr.. Thurman was endorsed by
General Durbin Ward, Of Ohio,
When the state of Massachusetts, was
called the response was awaited with much
curiosity. Cheers and Kisses were about
equally balanced, but 1t was announced by
Mr.. Abbott that Massachusetts, had no nom.
nation to make at this time, the nomination
Of Bayard having been so eloquently Sec
onded by Hooker. of Mississippi.
| At 1856 Mr.. Lockwood, Of New York,
came up to the platform to put in nomina-
ton Mr.. Cleveland. The nomination was
seconded by Mayor Harrison, of Chicago.
| Other speeches were made seconding the
nomination of Cleveland.
Mr.. Grady, of New York, said he should
be glad to second Mr.. Clevelsnd's nominal
ton except that he knew that that gentle
man could not carry the state Of New York.
| The sure and unerring test of that fact was
| that the last democratic convention of New
York was equally divided against him, and
| the delegates at.large were divided between
his friends and opponents.
| A motion to suspend the order Of business
was made and carried, and at 800 the con-
ventiOn took recess till 1880 a. m. to-
morrow.
