the Democratic party he must expect. to
behave himself The past struggle between
Cleveland and Tammany which came off |
to-day promised to be mere skiruush be- |
came general engagement calling out.aH
tie reserves Tie result was the defeat of |
Kelly and the triumph ofthe great reform
Governor. AS consequence Cleveland is
stronger tonight by odds than this morn
ing. when SmaIS Of Vermont offered his
resolution for adoption of the old rules with
certain notifications. The fun was opened
by Grady, Tammany delegate, who offer
ed a proposition for the abolition Of the unit
rule. The discussion which followed was
animated and protracted. Mr.. Fellows, a
Cleveland delegate from New York, was the
hero of the day His concluding speech, in
which he good humoredly portrayed the ap-
pearance Of Tammany as the opponent
of machine methods, and depicted the
millenial results to follow when the popular
will manifested itself by spontaneous ebuli.
tions through Grady, Kelly and himself,
caught the convention and carried the day.
The vote in favor of the Grady resolution
was $50; against, AS So the unit rule
was sustained. Upon the Grady PROPOSE
ton number of anti Cleveland States
are found voting partially or en-
tirely with the Cleveland men. Mary
land, Bayard State, cast sixteen
votes in that direction. Pennsylvania,
which is solid for Randall, threw thirty-nine
the same way. So with other States; while
it is clear tharif the field had combined the
unit rule would have been broken. The ay-
erage delegate will not stop to analySe the
vote. He looks only at the fact that Cleye-
land has triumphed However, it may be
:aid that Cleveland mas recovered bis lost
ground. That he will receive nearl! ma.
jority, if not quite, on the first ballot, and
ihat his nomination on the third or fourth
row seems
Highly Probable.

contingency be protracted there is but one

on Mr.. Mcdonald Samuel }. Randall is
tie only. mau who has come thus far un-
scathed. His friends most confidently
lain that if the struggle can be maintained
for few days their man will come to the
front with
Wonderful Rapidity.
Their hopes are apparently well-founded.
Samuel J. Randall is tonight the second
choice of majority of, the convention.
The ,ror popuH spoke to-day in thunder
tones for Thurman When he entered the
hall his appearance wac tho signal for loud
universal and protracted applause. The
demonstration was more hearty and enthu-
siastic than that which greeted any other
leader. The Committee on Credentials
will report in favor of giving votes to the
Territorial delegates. This will be de
cGed innovation, and if adopted may have
an important bearing on ultimate resulte.
The Congressional contribution TO the AS
sembed craftsmanship and patriotism is
hourly expected. The Congressional train
left Washington last night Among the
great expected is Samuel j. Randall. His
friends are arranging grand demonstra-
tion in his honor Tickets are already
