THE HIDDEN HAND.
1t was manifest from the applaus
Which the name of Senator Bayard IT
celVed, this morning, that at last th
opposition to Cleveland had found
strong man, who was skillfully organ
ZINC to stem the tide that had bee
sweeping New York on towards tn
goal OF success. Heretofore the op
posing delegates had been striking
wildly and harmlessly. The threat
Oh Grady and Cochran only seemed tt
serve to increase the strength Of
Cleveland. When Massachusetts, ap
peared on the platform, in the per
son OF Mr.. Cummings, to second the
nomination of Bayard, it was evident
that Butler was the leader organic
ing the opposition, and that he ex.
pected the south to present a solid
front Tor Bayard's support under the
influence of senators Hampton,
Vance, Lamar, and others of the
states of that section. The delay in
perfectlng the platform was felt to be
a part of the scheme, as it gave time
for organization.
MIR. L. M. Ross, of Arkansas. stated
that after much consultation and con-
slderation, the Arkansas delegation
had determined, unanimously, to cast
its
VOTE FOR CLEVELAND,
of New York. Applause.l To the
objection that Mr.. Cleveland had emf
mics at home, the reply was that no
man could, with fidelity to principle,
administer the office of governor of
New York without making enemies
at home. If they found a man
without enemies, they would find a
man who had not that elevation of
character necessary to the candidate
Of great party.
When the state of Wisconsin was
called it was announced that major
ity of that delegation had voted to
support the nomination for Cleveland,
and had assigned its chairman, Gen
oral Bragg, to second the nomination.
General Bragg declared that the
young democracy of Wisconsin loved
and respected Mr.. Cleveland, not only
Tor himself, for his character,
lis integrity, Judgement and
ron will, but, they loved him most
plause)
Mr.. Grady of New York here rose
and shouted out that the enemies
whom the gentleman alluded to re-
ciprocated that sentiment. (Very
general .hisses.)
Mr.. Bragg was thankful to the gen.
,leman for calling himself to his at
;ention. He spoke of the disgraceful
spectacle which that gentleman had
presented yesterday, and said that the
opposition to Gov. Cleveland came
rom those whom he had cut off from
THE FLESH POTS.
The vilest (said he) may defile a
splendid statue, but they necessarily
lisgrace themselves. The men
who talked about the right
II labor were political tricks
;ers, who placed their camp
wherever there was prospect of pro-
it, but honest, intelligent horney-
handed laboring men would be found
GLOWING the old democratic flag
The labor of these political tricksters
lad been on the "crank of the ma
,hine." (Cheers.) Their study had
been political chicanery in the
midnight conclave, and the only
cure for them was in
rec application of the rope. APP
)lausel.
Mr.. Henry o. Kent, of New Hamp-
hire also seconded the nomination of |
Mr.. Cleveland. He said that New
Hampshire was to-day one of the |
doubtful states, the democrats being |
,nly in minority of 500. and he be-
ieved that, with the right candidate,
hat state might be turned over to
he democrats. Success was a duty. |
Fhe record of James G. Blaine BODIED |
10 good to the republic. Should he be
made president they might almost
iremble for constitutional liberty. He
in behalf of New Hamp-
hire, and in behalf largely, he be-
Ieved, of New England, seconded |
he nomination of man |
Who had been tried and |
'ound worthy, and VINO would rally |
% his support more fully than any
,ther man the independent vote of
he country which desired reform in |
In contradiction of the as
;ertion that Governor Cleveland could |
lot carry his own state, he referred |
% the authority of Senator Francis |
Iearnen, of New York; of Horatio
seymour, of New FORK, and of Sam
lei j. Tilden, of New York.
Elk Senator Doolittle, of Wisconsin,
Llso seconded the nomination of Mr..
declaring his belief that,
With that candidate, the democracy
would carry the electoral vote of
and he would more surely
han any other candidate. carry the
electoral vote of New York. He
therefore appealed to the convention
not to throw away this great oppor-
unity, because, with Cleveland and
reform, the democrats of Wisconsin
were sure of victory at the coming
election. The call of statistics having
been completed, the chairman stated
that, in his opinion, the territories
were not entitled to be called, and the
list of candidates would be chosen.
Before this was done, however, Con-
necticut claimed to be heard, and
Mr.. Waller said that the Connec-
ticut delegation had come here
with no candidate of their own and
with opposition to none-not even to
Naughter). They had
Joined in the cheers and applause and
had enjoyed the scene in this magnt-
ficent convention. They had met 800
delegates to select in the name of the
people, a man to rule not over them,
but for them. The Connecticut dele
gates had had the pleasure of listen
ing to eloquent speeches and OF greet
ing the gray-haired statesman, Allan
G. Thurman. They had also listened
to the unfortunate controversy IN
the empire state and hoped that the
gap between the two factions would
have been filled up, as it would be very
soon. So far as the Connecticut dele
cation were concerned, they were
ready to give in their verdict. They
might make a mistake. Fallibillty
was common to all. but they would
now second the nomination OF Grover
Cleveland. Loud cheers.
