ms Interview took place while Gen.
eral Bragg was speaking to the indorse-
ment OF Cleveland, General Bragg said:
"Grim and gray personally in lighting
the battles of the Democracy, stand yet
to-day to speak for the young men of my
State in seconding the nomination OF
Governor Cleveland. [Applausel. They
love him for his integrity, his ability and
his iron will, but most Of all for the ene-
mics he has made" [Applausel.
Grady, standing near the platform,
shouts sin the name of his enemies, /
reciprocate their sentiment and accept
the challenge" Applause and hissesl.
The Chair Indignantly ordered Grady to
take his seat, and the latter slowly com.
piled. Bragg dismissed Grady'S inter.
ruption by saying he brought to his
attention again at least what shouh'be
an honored name. Bragg then entered
upon denunciation OF Malone and
Riddleberger. Amid loud cheers, and
pointing to the New York delegation
he said labor is not represented in politi.
cal Conventions by the soft hands of pc.
litical trlcksters. The laborer talked oil
by them was the crank. Prolonged ap.
plause. Their labor was the political
chicanery of the midnight conclave.
More cheers. The people of New York
had more nerve than the machine gave
them credit for. ("Give us more grape
shot'') yelled delegate amid enthusiasm.
Bragg continued pouring bitter
invective into the Grady faction. In the
course OF his remarks he added; "We
see again the glimmer Of daylight, and
our young men, our Intelligent popuia7
tion, our German-born citizens, ask for
an opportunity to again breathe the afr
of victory. Applause The speakerre-
newed the claims of the old leaders and
compared them unfavorably to the
new men. They were Ike horses
that had made 2:40, com;
pared with those who had made
| 2:I0 IA. Let the old war horses be re,
tined on records pointed to with pleasure,
| but the people demand new blood and
new manhood every breeze brings indica-
| lions Of victory, but we can not win with
| out recruits, and they are at our bidding.
| They bear as their banner the name OF
! Cleveland and reform [applausel. Let
| his name be our countersign, and recruit
| ed as we shall be, our ideS of November
shall be Austerlltz and not Waterloo At
the conclusion of his speech Mr. Bragg
received perfect ovation of applause.
The request OF Mr.. Jones, of New
Hampshire, having been granted that
his State should be allowed to in-
dorse Cleveland, General Henry o.
Kent, of New Hampshire, proceeded to
speak, declaring that the nomination OF
Cleveland meant certain success, and
amid loud cries of "time," he pro
ceeded to give numberless reasons why
Cleveland was Morthy of receiving the
nomination. He said that Francis
Herman, Horatio Seymour and Samuel
j. Tilden were three men who earn
estly desired his (Cleveland's) nomfna.
t ton (Cries of no and hisses).
| Consent to speak was asked for Judge
? Doolittle, of Wisconsin, and amid faint
cries of "no" it was granted. Doolittle
was loudly applauded, but he proved to
be so hOarse that few could hear him.
He said he was for Cleveland because he
believed he could carry Wisconsin. A
change of 10000 votes would do 1t, and
there was great diSaffection among the
German Republicans.
Representative Hauk, of Tennessee,
rose to ask u question, but VOORHEES,
rose, and the audience yelled for him,
whereupon Hauk moved adjournment,
but the Chair decided it out of order.
The Chair decided that the Territories
could not be called for the names of can
didateS.
Governor Waller, of Connecticut,
asked for the platform.
Waller, after long preamble, an
nounced that Connecticut supported the
nomination of Cleveland. He deplored
the unfortunate controversy in the En-
pire State, but having listened to all the
evidence, his verdict must be in favor of
Cleveland by the unanimous vote Of Con-
necticut.
This announcement was greeted with
prolonged applause. Yells and waving
flags and handkerchiefs marked his retire.
ment from the platform. Time and again
the cheers were renewed, and order had
scarcely been restored when 4 cry from
the gallery for "Three cheers for Cleve-
land" set the enthusiasm machine in mo-
ton again.
The clerk announced the names of can
didates as follows:
Thomas I. Bayard
Joseph Z. Mcdonald.
John G. Carlisle Cheers.

luton to adjourn was in order, and
moved an adjournment until 5 p. m.
