At New York.

NEW YoRR, July H-All the morning, from
the time the balloting began to the reception of
the news of the nomination, crowds were assem-
bled in front of the various newspaper bulletins.
From the first Governor Cleveland's nomination
was looked for and when it was placarded that
the Pennsylvania delegation had retired for con-
sultation everybody said: IF Pennsylvania
goes for Cleveland that settles it." At j o'clock
the streets in front of the newspaper bulletins
were blocked, interrupting travel There was
not much excitement until the words were put
up, Governor Cleveland nominated on second
ballot Then shout arose from hundreds
and more of them clapped their hands and
clapped each other on the back. There was no
excitement about the City Hall, as there were no
politicians there; all the Democrats are in Chi
cago, and the Republican aldermen are out of
town. Mayor Edison said II consider
the choice excellent. | have no doubt
Reilly, Tammany, said: Il hope Cleveland will
be elected, the country needs safe, conserya-
tive able man, such as he is, and every honest
Democrat should vote for him. The Repub-
lican oface=holders declined to make comments
for publication, but IN private seemed pleased
with the nomination, considering Cleveland an
easy man to beat. One of the Assistant United
States district attorneys said: ut is good
Republican nomination" A deputy United
States marshal said: 1.-THE nomination means a
majority of from 60, 600 to 10000 in New York
State for Blaine, and should not be at all sur
prised if he carried this county. John Kelly can
be fixed with the mayorality or in some other
way. The news of the nomination was received
at the Produce Exchange with long cheer
ing. In Wall street it was received by every
one in a manner indicating that it was a fbregone
conclusion. Collector Robertson said: II think
the nomination Of Cleveland the best thing for
the Republican party. can't say what effect,
if any, his election would have on the business
interests of the country. Personally 1 am in
favor of Blaine, and expect to see him elected J"
