robust tones of their stronger companions.
As the voices died away In the last strains

ALBANY, N. Y. July 11.-Governor Cleve-
land was in the executive chamber at the
Capitol when the news of his nomination for
President reached him. He was at his desk
as usual and attended to the routine duties
of his Office until the bulletins from Chicago
stated the second ballot was being taken.
He then retired to his private room with his
private secretary, Colonel D. S. Lamont, Ad-
jutant General Farnsworth and DIR. S. B.
Ward, his physician. The dispatches were
brought to the chamber by messenger boys
every few minutes. But before the announce
ment of the nomination was received the
cannon of the Young Mems Democratic club
down town doomed out the welcome news.
The Governors intimate friends expressed
their joy at the result and he came out into
the large room which was soon thronged
with a crowd of politicians and citizens

NEW York, July 1.-THE interest taken
by the people of this city in the result of the
Democratic national convention was fully
demonstrated by the crowds which gathered
in front of the newspaper and telegraph Of
foes to-day, they being even larger than
those that congregated during the day on
which Blaine and Logan were nonaiAsted.
The excitement was at fever heat and anxiety
was depictad on every face. The crowds
blocked up the sidewalks and often extended
into the roadways regardless of danger from
passing vehicles. Now and then heated dis
cussions were INDUCED in by the onlookers
and in mapy places from what could be
learned OF the remarks of the disputants, it
was plain that opinions OF Cleveland were
evenly divided. The Kelly men we're in

opponents and were outspoken in their de-
nunciation of Buffalo's reform mayor. They
asserted that he was about the worst man
that could possibly be nominated and pre-
