of the excitement. After the convention adj
journed it was almost impossible to navigate on
State street, and the crowd in the hotel exceeded
anything ever witnessed even at this city, so ia
nous for its notable gatherings ana big pow
vows
The only sick looking thing about the hotel
were the parlors occupied by John Kelly and the
Tamman' sachens. 1t was bitter pill for the
great boss and his henchmen and they made no
attempt to disguise it.
''rhis is an unfortunate piece business said
Tammany sachem to the GLOBE correspondent;
'come here to represent the Democracy of New
York state, and VIII - we didn't go away with fly
ing colors you can Vet they hear from us at
home. Our people know that we came here to
represent the best interests of the party and they
sat down on us; now that they have nominated
their men let them elect him.
DISGUISED sAcHEM
The great mogul, John Kelly, was seen by the
GLOBE reporter. He sat Ill his private room sur
rounded by Spinoka ane number of other sym
pathizers
81 have nothing to say to the papers, he re-
piled to an enquiry. ssWe will wait till we reach
home before taking any action
Just then the usher announced that several
ladies desired admittance, They were admitted
and for nearly an hour the distinguished leader
held leyee, many of the callers being of the
fair sex, the most of whom requested his auto
graph. He received them in a most polished
manner and while his face indicates the bull dog
tenacity and firmness of character for which he
is celebrated, he proved to those present that he
was equally at home when essaying the role of
gallant
But it was a blue crowd for all that, and at
times the air was sulphurious, the young men of
the order not being able to conceal their chagrin,
and vows of vengeance were made freely.
While Boss Kelly was holding his levee the
throng down stairs was increasing. Many very
ludicrous sights were to be seen. One stalwart
fellow, an Irving Hall man, and perfect Adonis
in figure, had procured tin horn and he was
whooping it up for all he was worth. Around
him had gathered a crowd of admirers, and
when the horn gave out for lack of wind it was
passed to a fresh man, and when his lung power
was exhausted it was turned over to another.
Apropos of the Tammany defeat, it is said on
good authority that right after the nomination of
Cleveland, Mr.. w. C. Whitney, corporation
counsel of New York city, and on-in-law of II.
B. Payne, of Ohio, was deputed to call on John
Kelly and offer him the opportunity of naming
the man for the second place, by way of concilia-
ton. His mission was unsuccessful, as Mr..
Kelly said that he would have nothing to do with
the Office whatever
AS may be imagined it was field day for the
fakirs of badges and cheap chromos of Cleveland,
while that emblem of political success, the terri
fnl rooster. was on deck in great shape, The
badges were like picnic lemonade, any color you
hke,and they sold as low as nckle. The roosters
went Off like hot cakes, but it was a chilly day
for the chromos and they didn't sell well.
AT O'Clock the Tammany braves and sachems
folded their tepees, collared their grip sacks and
headed by brass band they put on an air if
gaiety and started for the depot The obese
and pugnacious Grady showed his colossal nerve
by wearing full blown barn yard rooster on mis-
white plug hat, and he was the subject of great
derision. Just as they left the hotel one of the
braves got into a dispute and his eye was draped
a beautiful blue by a policeman This was sad,
but it made sport for the crowd and they enjoyed
it hugely
Far different was the appearance of the Ameri-
Gus club, of Philadelphia. They also left at 5
o'clock, brilliant red rooster surmounting the
plug hat of each member. Their band dscoursed
splendid music, their banners waved proudly in
the air, and altogether they presented the finest
appearance of any body of men in attendance at
the convention.
Tonight the members of Irving hall held a
street parade; each man was armed with a new
broom, and it was the loudest blow ont of the
celebration
At o'clock tonight State street in the vicinity
of the Palmer house impossible. Even the
grip cars stopped running for awhile, the rush
being terrific.
Thr nominations were celebrated at the Palmer
house by magnificent display OF fireworks, which
were set off from the Monroe street balcony of
the hotel. Electric lights at all the windows
added 70 the brilliancy of the display the streets
being clothed in more than MONDAY splendor. 1t
was an edifying spectacle and one not soon to be
forgotten
Every time Ben. Bntler looms up his appear
ance is hailed by the crowd with shouts of ap-
lanse. As the Americas club was departing
from the hotel sold Strabismus" came to one
of the windows and glanced down at the
surging crowd that filed the street.
He was espied by some one and the
cry went up, ''Hurrah for old Ben!' A lusty
cheer was given, when the modest statesman
from New England beat hasty retreat Such
gentle reader, is fame.
The county Democracy will leave with victory
perched on their standard Tomorrow Satur-
day.
Gen. r. W. johnson, of St. Paul, arrived from
New York this morning. He is delighted with
the nominations, and he states that prominent
New Yorker assured him that if Cleveland was
nominated he would carry the country by 300, 600
majority, H.G.D.
