the office of Mayor. Without hesitation,

holding that Office, was that in less than nine
months the state NJ New York found itself in
~ position 10 want such q candidate, and
when, in the convention OF iSS2, his
name was presented for the office

the same class of people knew that that

| Thomas f. Grady, OF New York, then camc.
| to the platform.
The point of order was raised that unless
Mr.. Grady was going TO second a nomination.
he was not in order, but the Chairman over
ruled the point and said that as he had recog-
nized Mr.. Grady that gentleman must be
heard.
Grady proceeded 10 address the convention
lie said he should be glad To second Mr..
| Cleveland's nomination except that he knew
! that gentleman could not carry New York.
The sure and unerring test on that fact was
that the last Democratic convention of New
York was equally divided against him and
the delegates-at-large were divided between
his friends and opponents.
AT this point, Bragg, of Wisconsin, rose to-
make point of order, but his voice wass
drowned by shouts and yclls from the gai
lCrcs.
After some degree OF order, Bragg stated
his point TO be that the order OF business was
the nomination of and seconding of candi-
dates.
The Chairman said similar point of order

and sustained, but he had been disposed To
be exceedingly lenicnt in allowing the
course of remarks, supposing that Mr.. Grady
would come to the point of making "A nomi-
nation; but unless he was about 10 do so the
Chair would be obliged To sustain the point.
Manning, Chairman of the New York del
egauon, asked unanimous consent that Gra-
dy might be allowed to proceed irrespective
OF the points of order
Unanimous consent was given, and Grady
proceeded with his speech. He said that the
object of the convention was to make II nom
nntion for the Presidency that would be rat
flied by the people mt the polls. He did not
claim that the Irish or the Catholics were
against Mr.. Cleveland, but the antlmonop-
olist element OF the State and the labOring
interest of the State, Catholic and Pro-
testant, Irish, German and American,
were opposed TO his nomination and would
be opposed TO his election. Mr.. Cleveland
had been elected in 1882 by majority OF IO2,-
600, but the last election Of that State showed
Republican majority OF 1857, making q
/ change OF 2ll,0O In the Democratic vote.

that the galleries would be cleared and
? Grady was allowed to go ON with his speech /.
but not without continued Interruptions
from galleries. He was told To make q
speech for Blaine, but the Chairman an
nounced, with an air OF determination, that
7 the gentleman should have a full and fair OPP
portunity TO say every word that he was

Grady went on to discuss the veto OF the
Elevated railroad bill, and To show how that
/, veto was an injustice to tho working classes,
and he declared that the state OF New York
could not be Carried by Mr.. Cleye-
mod;,o land; not because ct,o OF any Irish
Int because of this anti-monopoly question:.
In which the people had deep-seated feel
Ing that no man could be worse TO them In
that regard than Mr.. Cleveland. He knew OF
but one occasion on which Governor Cleye-
land was called upon to show his hand,
whether he was % Democrat OF something else >
and Cleveland proved at TINT time something
else. He denied that the fight against Cleve-
land was the Same fight as had been made
