NEW YORK, July 10th.-Thc Tribune credits
California with starting the roar for Thurman
in the Convention, and says: The applause
which has since distinguished him above all
candidates is significant If the party desired
it, it would put up an old Bourbon. Mr.. Thur
man, however. would make stronger fight
than Mcdonald because he is an able man aud
has a clear character. lie would do better than
Bayard. The Tribune concludes II makes very
little practical difference who is selected by the
Democrats, for the man whom California wants
has already been nominated.

which attracted considerable attention
Breckinridges speech, in nominating Thur
man. has been very favorably commented upon
Considering the many disadvantages he labored
under, his maiden effort before any National
Convention was very creditable.

BAYARD'S INCREASING STRENGTH.
CHICAGO July 1Oth.-It is manifest from the
applause when the name of Rayard was read
this morning, that at last the opposition to
Cleveland has found Il strong leader. who was
skillhllly organizing his forces to stem the tide
that has been sweeping New York on toward the
goal of success Heretofore the opposition dele
gates have been shrieking wildly and harm
lessly. The threats of Grady and Cochran only
seemed to serve to increase the strength of
Cleveland. When Massachusetts appeared on
the platform. in the person of Cummings. 10
second the nomination of Senator Bayard, it
was evident that BENJAMIN f Butler was the
leader of the organization of the opposition,
and that he expects the South to present solid
front in Bayards support, under the influence
of Senators Hampton, Vance, Lamar and others
of the States of that section. The delay in per
fecting platform is felt to be a part of the
scheme, as il gives time for organization.
