OF that state said the State Of mississippi,

y When the State Of New York was reached
Mi. Manning Of New York arose and said: Mr..

David Lockwood Of Buffalo. Mr.. Lockwood
| made good speech and 1t was well received
Senator Grady Of New York tried 10 catch
the eye Of the chair, but the hitter recognized
Mayor Garter Harrison of Chicago, assuring
Mr. Grady that he would be recognized in his
turn. MIR. Harrison made Q speech seconding
tho nomination of Grover Cleveland. When he
had concluded there were cries of ssKellyr and
some confusion. @E s .,. - ~ =. -,
Richard A. Jones of Rochester, Minnesota
then spoke from the platform in behalf of
was d republican state, but pleaded with his
hearers to give her 9 chance to add to the roll
Of Democratic 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

spoke for less than three minutes, and in clos

posed to sustain the point, when the willy Man
ming played his trump card and
asked III the name of the
New York delegation that Grady be heard pa

The shrewdness Of this move was proceeded
with what turned out to be an hours diatribe,

hotel corridors since Sunday. The interest in
Grady's speech subsidized as the contest over it
