This was adopted after short debate on ques-
tons Of order. When Delaware was called,
amidst enthusfastic cheering, George E. Gray
presented the name Of Thomas Francis in neat
speech.
When tho state Of Indiana was called, loud
cheers rent the air, and Mr. Menzie Of that
state arose and said: ''The Indiana delegation
requests the Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks to
present the name of Indiana's candidate for
the presidency" Mr.. Hendricks came forward
amidst perfect outburst of enthusiasm lasting
the noise, . wild gallery delegate with voice

James A. Mckenzie of KentuckyI desire, in
in the name of state that will give Sc, 900 ma
jority to the nominee Of this convention, to
place in nomination for the highest Office with
in the reach of human ambition, the name of

When Mississippi was reached MI: Walthall
of that state said the State of Mississippi,
through the Hon. Charles E. Hooker, desired
to second the nomination of the Hon. Thomas
+. Bayard Of Delaware. Gen. Hooker was re-
ceived with cheers, and made an eloquent
speech in behalf of Bayard.
When the State of New York was reached
Mr. Manning Of New York arose and said: Mr..
Chairman, New York presents the name of Gov.
Cleveland, and desires to be heard through
David Lockwood of Buffalo. Mr. Lockwood
made good speech and it was well received.
Senator Grady Of New York tried TO catch
the eye Of the chair, but the latter recognized
Mayor Carter Harrison of Chicago, assuring
Mr. Grady that he would be recognized in his
turn. Mr.. Harrison made speech seconding
the nomination of Grover Cleveland When he
had concluded there were cries Of "Kelly" and
some CONFUSION.
Richard A. Jones of Rochester, Minnesota
then spoke from the platform in behalf Of
Cleveland He acknowledged that Minnesota
was republican state, but pleaded with his
hearers to give her chance to add to the roll
of Denoecratic voters within her borders
Such additions, he said, would be easier were
Grover Cleveland chosen as the leader Of
the party and the announcement was greet
cd with loud cheers. To many Min
nesotians Mr.. Jones' voice and infections of
emphasis recalled those of G. K. Davis Of St.
Paul, though the similarity between tho men
ends with the points mentioned Mr.. Jones
spoke for less than three minutes, and in clos
ing beamed with good humor upon the dele
gates. whom he thanked for their attention and
applause.
Mr.. Grady of New York next got the plat
form. Before he had gone on five minutes it
was plain that the only purpose of his speech
was an attack on Cleveland, and Gen. Bragg
made the point of order that the order of bust
ness was the nominating and not the defama-
ton of candidates. The chairman was dis
posed to sustain the point, when the willy Man
ming, played his trump card and and
New York delegation that Grady be heard pa
lection being made, he was permitted to go on.
The shrewdness of this move was proceeded
with what turned out to be an hours diatribe,
aecumulating all the stock arguments against
Cleveland which have been howled through the
hotel corridors since Sunday. The interest in
Grady's speech subsidized as the contest over il
disappeared
Mr. Cochran of New York made a long speech
amidst good deal of wrangling on points Of
order. The call had only reached Rhode Island
when the convention adjourned
