cept that he knew that the gentleman
could not carry the State of New York
The sure and unerring test OF that fact
WIS that the last Democratic Conven.
tlon OF New York was equally divided
against him, and the delegates at large
were divided between his friends and op
ponents.
At this point, Bragg, Of Wisconsin,
rose to make point OF order, but his
voice was drowned by shouts and yells
from the galleries.
When order was restored, the Chair
said he was disposed to be lenient
In allowing the course Of remarks
supposing that Mr.. Grady would come
TO the point Of makinga nomination. but
unless he was about to do so the chair
would be obliged to sustain the point OF
order.
Mr.. Manning. of New York, Chair.
man of the New York delegation, asked
unanimous consent that Mr.. Grady
might be allowed to proceed irrespective
Of the point OF order.
| Unanimous consent was given and
Grady proceeded with his speech. He
said the anti.monopolist elements Of the
State and the laboring interests Of the
State, Catholic and Protestant. Irish,
| German and American, were opposed to
Mr.. Cleveland's nomination and would
be opposed to his election.
| Here good deal of impotence was
manifested by the spectators and cries
Of ''sit down. came from the Galleries.
A threat was made that the galleries
would be cleared and 80 Grady was a.
lowed to go on with his speech. Grady
went on to discuss the veto of
the Elevated Railroad bill and to
show how that veto was injurious
to the working class.

and rejected.
Grady concluded, saying: The Democ.
raey could carry New York for Thurman,
Bayard, Mcdonald or Randall, but not
for Cleveland New York was safe
Stale if the Democratic party were kept
solid. but not otherwise.
Cochrane, of New York, in behalf of
the minority of the New York delega-
ton, came to the platform and amid
shouts and incredulous laughter,
declared that no person felt
more kindly than he to Mr..
Cleveland. but he was too old a friend
of his to wish to see him nominated for
the Presidency. He would name a man
who never could be called guilty OF n
single act favoring corporations, a man
who has never prostituted the executive
power to veto bills that were conceived
in the interest of labor, a man
whose hair had grown white
he meant Mr.. Thurman, of Ohio, and
concluded by making an appeal to the
convention to ratify the nomina ton Of
that ''grand old Democrat"

"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention: By inadvertence, Califor.
MIA was passed in this Democratic Con-
vention, but we desire to say to yon
that when ballots are cast in November
next she will never be passed by the
Republican candidate. Applause. She
has sent us here, her representatives,
in few and simple words to present for
the consideration of the Democraticparty
a man who needs no eulogy at her hands,
whose name is enshrined in the hearts of
the whole American people. She has
asked us to present for your considers.
ton one who, if your nominate him, we
believe there is settled conviction in
the hearts of all, will be the next Presi-
dent of the United States. Such a selec-
ton is a sacred trust and solemn re-
sponsibility. There never was in the
history of the party rarer or q grander
opportunity to make an appeal to
the country. Let us present a man of
whose integrity there has never been
a question, upon whose character or
reputation there never has fallen a
shadow, or blot, or stain; whose ability
and learning shall be commensurate
with the duties OF the high office to
which we would elevate him. Let us
nominate such a one, place him side by
side with his antithesis, the Plumed
Knight of Maine, and simply say to the
American people, "Behold the man.
(Applause). Gentlemen of this conven.
tiou, we of California believe that we
can confidently turn to you and say,
Behold the man, Allen q. Thurman.
OF Ohio" Loud cheers and applause,

and waving their hats. "Of all the
honored and illustrious names which
have been and shall be presented foi
the consideration OF this Convention,
there are none which lie nearer to the
great heart of the American people than
that of the lofty and intrepid states
man, who, for more than twenty
yeara, has been the boldest and abest
advocate of Democratic doctrines and
Democratic principles. California did
not send us here to waste our time in
eulogies, but simply to present his name
One word more, and it is this, we are
told, sir, and it is the only objection
which has been raised to him, that this
man, at the close of the war, when the
echoes of that strife were still vi
brating in tine air, annihilated in the great
State of Ohio q Republican majority
OF nearly forty thousand votes. We art
told that the only objection to him is
that Ohio is an October State, and oul
reply is. gentlemen, that this is not {
State but National convention, and We
are here to select national candidate.
Long and continued applause.l
The nomination was ably seconded by
Durbn Ward, OF Ohio.
