chairman Of the New York delegation.
NEW YoRK, July 9-Ddniel Manning, Esq,
Chairman Of Hle Ne,D York State Delegation;
Reading to-days proceedings and Mr.. Grady's
remarks concerning Gov. Cleveland l tele-
graph you that was representative Irish
man before Grady was born and
as such believe l know now the
sentiment of my countrymen and
his. Nine-tenths OF the Irishmen are in
favor Of Grover Cleveland's nomination and
the universal sentiment expressed in this city
to. night is that Grady has uttered a vile
calumny against the Irish and Catholics OF
America. tSignedl VIM. r. ROBERTSON.

occasional cheers and music by the band.
The visitors' seats are fully occupied.
The Boepe is an animated one. The
Cleveland men confidently predict his
nomination II ballot Is reached to-day.
Among the distinguished gentlemen
occupying seats on the platform are
Speaker Carlisle and the Hon. William
Il. English Of Indiana, the last Demo-
cratic candidate for the Vice Presidency.
Hon. Samuel J. Randall was not present.
CALLED TO ORDER.
The convention was called to order at
lilo q. m.
COMPLETING THE ROLL OF STATES.
The unfinished business Of yesterday,
being the call Of states for nominations,
was resumed.
Mr.. Mansor Of Missouri was called to
the platform and made q nomination
speech. He said that Missouri could have
given 80 stslwart Democratic votes for
the old ticket headed by the Sage or
Grsmercy and his venerAted friend
from Indiana, Mr.. Hendricks. As
they could mot have the old
ticket, he had been casting about
to see who was the man who In
this emergency should lead the embAttled
hosts Of the Democracy to q grand and
glorious victory. Nothing short Of a
blunder could make the Democracy lose
the election. With rs Democratic governors
and % Democratic Legislatures, represent
ing 253, electoral votes out OF 40l, nothing
but fatal blunder could make the
Democracy lose. The man In his mind
WAS spoken Vt as the noblest Roman Of
them all-Allen G.. Thurman Of Ohio.
GCheers. He therefore seconded that
nomination.
Mr.. Livingston Of Missouri rose to
second the nomination Of Grover Cleve-
land, but the chairman stated that 1t
would require unanimous consent.
"No matter" SAID Mr.. Livingston,
"we have got our work in anyhow"
lLsuRhter.]
Thos. Powell Of Ohio, came to the plat.
form to put In nomination Governor
Hoadly Of Ohio. He declared that II the
Democracy was true to itself, its success
In the coming struggle was already
assured. Within the last few years he
said the Democrats OF the state Of Ohio
have overcome Republican majority of
over 100, 600, and at this hour the gov
ernment Of Ohio was in the keeping Of
the great Democratic party. The man
who had been the acknowledged leader
in bringing about that change
was the candidate whom he now pre-
sented-Governor George Hoadly Of Ohio.
Some applause Mr.. Hoadly had re-.
oeived the largest endorsement ever
given to q Democrat in Ohio, hav-
| ing received 900 more votes than
Hancock had received in 1880. He was
known to the nation as great lawyer, a
wise statesman, a fearless and aggressive
leader, q man Of acknowledged ability, OF

we'll as Of wisdom. ...--
The state Of Pennsylvania having been
reached In the call Senator William A.
Wallace Of that state came to the pat
form to nominate Mr.. Randall. He said :
By the directions Of the Pennsylvania
delegation, come tc present the

oountry's and your psrty's history in the

corrupt practice has ever stained his
esoutohson. [Applause.l While mos
OF his contemporaries in official lif,
have grown rich through devious and
unknown means, he ia still poor man
(oheers) whose highest aim has been itlJ
to serve his people and his republic
Democrats, the hour has struck for th'
nominal OF a Democrat grounded II

Of his party's service. GCheers.l Th,
pathway OF expedienoy lies behinc
us, strewn with the wrecks OF ou
failures. This man Cher sony Pennsyl

as her candidate for the mighty office o
President OF the United States in tn
: person Of Samnel j. Randall. Loud ap

Governor Abbott Of New Jersey seoonde'
the nomination Of Randall, who, he sat
would sweep New Jersey like gres
political cyclone. He is the friend o
iaborers everywhere, and the convention
! could DO no better than to nominat
him.
: The call Of the roll Of states for nomi
! nations was then resumed.
Rhode Island had no candidate to otfsI
Mr.. Abbott, chairman Of the Msssachu
! setts delegation, said that when tha

Mr.. Cummings then came forward

+ tion 10 support Of the nomination
y Thomas r. Bayard OF Delaware. 1t ha
d bsen said that the ELECTORAL vote {
' the South was sure for any Democrat
o nominee. The South had keI
!. its faith unfalteringly and unfinol
K inRly, but IL must be seen this
8 NO Democratic convention committed 1
l. self to q nomination as to a nominee thi
o would to some degree imperil those stat'

II alted as the nominees could be, no OF
