When the forces of Oliver Cromwell
were lying on their arms awaiting BATH,
they frequently engaged in angry disputa
ton concerning matters of fact, but wher
the order to charge came down the line
from Old Ironsides that the forces OF
Prince Rupert were in front they forgot
their differences and had no thought but
victory until success crowned the armies
of the Protector. So when the chairman
of the convention woLld shortly give the
Democratic hosts
il COMMAND TO CHARGE
all along the line they would, laying aside
all differences and dissensions and bicker-
ings and strife, charge the Republican
party front aud lear, If they had John
G., Carlisle at the head of the column
they would earn such a victory as was
won by the Puritan forces of Cromwell at
Naseby and Marston Moor. [Cheers.l
CIevcIand's Presentation.
When the State of NV York was
called there was a good deal of cheering
and waving of hats and handkerchief on
the part principally of the spectators in
the galleries. At $3.50 o'clock Mr.. Lock
wood, of New York, came up to the plat.
form to put in nomination Mr. Cleveland.
He said thatthe responsibility which he
felt was made greater when he remember
ed that the richest pages of American
history had been made up from the re-
cords of Democratic administrations, and
remembered that the outrage of 1876
WAS I'll UNAvENGED.
No man had greater respect than himself
for the honored names presented to the
convention, but the world was moving,
and new men who had done little in
politics were coming TO the front. Three
years ago he had the honor in the city of
Buffalo to present the name of the same
gentleman for the office of Governor.
Without hesitation the name of Grover
Cleveland had been accepted as the can
didate. TApplause in the galleries and
from a portion fthe delegates The re-
suit of the election was the holding ofthat
office; was that in less than nine months
the State of New York found itself in a
position to want such a candidate, and
when in the convention of 1882 his name
was presented for the office of Governor
of the State of New York the same class
of people knew that that meant honest
government; that it meant pure govern
ment; that it meant Democratic govern.
ment, and it was a satisfaction lap
%plause now, that the Democratic State
of New York came and asked that that
name be given to the Independent and
Democratic voters of the country,
THE YOUNG MEN OF THE COUNTRY,
the new blood of the country, the name of
Governor Cleveland. Loud Cheers.
The nomination of Mr.. Cleveland was
seconded by Mr.. Harrison, of Illinois.
Six weeks ago, he said, the cry was,
''Tilden and REFORM nowit was, ''Cleve-
land and reform" [Chcers.l The Dem
ocrats of Illinois believed that the mantle
0 fSamuel j. Tilden had fallen and rested
gracefully IN the shoulders of Governor
Cleveland. He knew that there was a
faction fight waged against him. He knew
it was said that a great church would op-
pose him on religious grounds. No, that
church never allowed its ministers voices
heard in the pulpit preaching
politics. [Cheers and cries of never.
SO it was said that the Irish would knife
him. Were the Irish ever known to
knife the Democratic party, except for
good reasons?
Here Il prominent Irish politician of
Chicago, John Forsyth, shouted out
from among the audience an angry denial,
and the wards yes and no were sew
eral times exchanged between him aud
Mr.. Harrison.
Finally order was restored, and Harri-
son proceeded with his speech and ended
with the assurance that the nomination of
Cleveland would help the Democrats to
win mex November The nomination of
Cleveland vas ably seconded by Jones Of
Minnesota.
Thomas n. Grady, of New York, then
to the platform. The point Of order
was raised that unless Mr.. Grady was
going to second the nomination, he was
not now in order, but the chairman over
ruled the point and said that as he had
recognized Mr.. Grady, that gentleman
must be heard. Mr.. Grady then pro-
ccedcd to address the convention. He
said he should be glad to second Mr..
Clevelands nomination, except that he
knew that that gentleman could not carry
the State of New York. The sure and
unerring test of that fact was that the last
Democratic convention of New York was
EQUALLY DIVIDED AGAINST HIM,
and the delegates Mt large were divided
between his friends and opponents.
At this point Mr.. Bragg, Of Wisconsin,
rose to make Il point of order, but his
voice was drowned by shouts and yclls
from the galleries. After there was some
degree of order, Mr.. Bragg stated his
point to be that the order of business was
the nomination and acconding Of cnndi-
dates. The chairman said that u similar
point Of order had been made in the St.
Louis convention and sustained, but he
had been disposed TO be exceedingly ~lcnicnt
in allowing the course ofremmEs Suppos-
ingthat Mr.. Grady would come 10 the point
of making L nomination but unless he
was about to do SO the chair would be
