OLRYELARD AND HENDkIoRS THE
DhM0ORATIO NOMINEES,


Vice Presidency and Ad1ourns'
The STATE JOURNAL AND GAzRrTR went
to press last week with the announce
ment Of the placing Of Mcdonald In nom
inAtion.
The next candidate TO be placed in
nomination after Mcdonald, was Allan
G.. Thurman Of Ohio, whose claims were
presented by John W. Breckenridge OF
California, "son of.the last Democratic
Vice President who was not unjustly
deprived Of his offoe," and seconded by
General Durham Ward Of 0hie. The
Associated Press report remarks that IL
was observable that q part OF the Ohio
delegation refused TO participate In the
applause that greeted the name OF
Thurman.
Speaker John G. Carlisle was next pre-
ssnted for nomination by James A.
Mckenzie OF Kentucky, who drew par
aIlel between his candidate and Oliver
Cromwell, which brought down the
houae.
Mingled cheers and Misses greeted the
call Of Massachusetts,, but 1t was an
nounced by Mr.. Abbott that Massaohu-
selts had no nomination to make at this
time.
When Mississippi was called, Mr..
Hooker arose and eloquently seconded
the nomination OF Senator Bayard.
When the state Of New York was called
there was @ good deal Of cheering aud
waving Of hats and handkerohiefs, on
the part principally Of the spectators in
the galleries.
AT 8 55 Mr.. Lockwood Of New York,
came up to the platform to put in
nomination Mr.. Cleveland. He said that
the responsibility which he felt was
made greater when he remembered that
the richest pages Of American history had
been made mp from the records OF
Democratic administrations, and re-
membered that the outrage OF 1876 was
still unavsnged. No man had q greater
reepect than he for the honored names
presented TO the convention but the
world was moving, and new men, who
had participated but little In politics,
were coming to the front. GCheers.] j
Three years ago he had the honor in the
city OF Buffalo TO present the name OF the
same gentleman for the office OF mayor.
Without hesitation the name OF
Grover Cleveland had been accepted
as the candidate. [Applause in the
galleries and from portions Of the delega-
tions.l The result Of that election and
OF the holding Of that office was that In
less than nine months the state Of New
York found itself in a position to want
suoh candidate; End when In the CON-
yention 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; tn at
Il meant pure government that It meant
Democratic government and It was rati.
ned. [Applause Now the state OF
New York came aud asked that that be
given to the independent and Democratic
voters of the country, the young men Of
the country, the new blood Of the
countryside name Of Grover Cleve'
land. [Cheers
Mayor Carter Harrison OF Chicago, and
Mr.. Jones OF Minnesota, seconded the
nomination Of Cleveland.
Thomas F.. Grady then came to the
platform. The point OF order was raised
that unless Mr.. Grady was going Ia
eecond the nomination he was not now in
order, but the chairman overruled the
point, and said that as he had recognized
ME uIhuJg thhb kohhA0hAoh w
heard. Mr.. Grady then proceeded Il
address the convention. He said he
should be glad to second Mr.. Cleveland
nomination, except that he knew tha
that gentleman could not carry the STATE
Of New York. The sure and unerfinl
test OF that fact was that the last Demo
cratic convention Of New York wa
equally divided against him, and the del
egates at-large were divided between hi
friends and opponents.
Objection was made to Mr.. Grady's pro
ceeding, aud considerable tumult ensued
Mr.. Manning Of New York, Chairman
OF the New York delsgrAtion, aske,
unanimous consent that Mr.. Grady Nigh
be allowed to proceed, irrespective OF tn
point Of order. Unanimous consent wa
given, and Mr.. Grady proceeded with hi
speech.
He said that the object Of the conven
tion was TO make nomination for Presi
denoy that would be ratified by th
people at the polls. He did not clair
that the Irish or the Catholics wer
aRainsI Mr.. Cleveland, hut tho anti
monopolist element Of the state, and tn
laboring interest OF the state, Catholi
and Protestant, Irish, German and Amel
loan, were opposed to his nomination
and would be opposed to his election
Mr.. Cleveland had been elected In 1888
by majority OF $4,000, but the lsi
election In that state showed Repul
lioan majority Of Is, ,597, making a chang
Of 2l1, 900 in the Democratic vote.
[Here good deal Of impAtience wa
manifested by spectators, and shouts I
''Sit down" came from the galleries.
threGt was made that the galleries woul
be cleared, and Mr.. Grady was Above
to 20 on with his speech, but not withou
continued Interruptions from the ga
leries. He was told to "make thi
speech for Blaine," but the ohairma
announced, with an air Of detsrmiuatio
that the gentleman should have fu
and fair opportunity to say every wor
that he was entitled to say.]
Mr.. Grady then proceeded to dive
upon the opposition to Cleveland In h
own state and to say that on the on
occasion when Cleveland was called upC
10 show whether he was Democrat I
something else, he proved TO be som
thing else. The Democracy could carl
New York for Thurman, Bay ard. MoDona
or Rardall, bat not for Cleveland. Ne
York was u fRts state II the Democrat
party was kept solid, but not otherwis
Mr.. Cochrane of New York, next too
the floor and, after some bjsotions to b
speaking, proceeded TO warn the oonve
tion against nominating Cleveland and
appeal 10 It to endorse "that grand o
Democrat, Al an G. Thurman OF Ohio
X. K. ApgAr OF New York, was ne
heard In o short speech seoonding u
nomination OF Cleveland.
A delegate inquired whether this was
state convention at Albany or nation
convention at Chicago.
The chairmsn gave the comfort
assurance that this would be tue II
speech from the New York delegation, a
so Mr.. .Apgar went on with his speeC
oontesting the views put forward agsii
Mr.. Cleveland.
A motion to suspend the order OF bu
ness was n ade and carried, and then,
