tons of order. When Delaware was called,
amldst enthusiastic cheering, George q. Gray
presented the name of Thomas Francis in a neat
speech.
When the state of Indiana was called, loud
cheers rent the air, and Mr.. Menzie of that
state arose and said: ssThe Indiana delegation

Cleveland, and desires to be heard through

made a good speech and it was we'll received.
Senator Grady of New York tried to catch
the eye of the chair, but the latter recognized
Mayor Carter Harrison of Chicago, assuring
MI. Grady that he would be recognized in his
turn. MI. Harrison made a speech seconding
the nomination of Grover Cleveland. When he
had concluded there were cries of s'Kelly' and
some confusion.
then spoke from the platform in behalf of
Cleveland. He acknowledged that Minnesota
was o republican state, but pleaded with his
hearers to give her a chance to add to the roll
Of Democratic voters within her borders.
Such additions, he said, would be easier were
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 st.
Paul, though the similarity between the men
ends with the points mentioned. Mr.. Jones
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 it
was plain that the only purpose of his speech
was all attack on Cleveland, and Gen. Bragg
made the point of order that the order of bust
ness was the nominating and not the defama-
ton of candidates. The chairman was dis
posed to sustain the point, when the willy Man
ming, played hfs trump card and
asked in the name of the
New York delegation that Grady be heard pa
tlently, regardless of the rule. No other OBJ
lection being made, he was permitted to go on.
The s%hrewdness of this move was proceeded
with what turned out to be an hours diatribe,
accumulating all 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.
MI. Cochran of New York made a long speech
amidst q good deal of wrangling on points Of
order. The call had only reached Rhode Island
when the convention adjourned.
