nation of Mr.. Bayard 1t was manifest
from the applause with which the name
of Senator Bayard was received that ut
last the opposition to Cleveland has
found strong leader. When Massa-
chusetts appeared ON the platform in the
person of Mr.. Cummings to second the
nomination of Senator Bayurd, it was
evident that Benz. +. Bntler was the
leader of the orgo nization OF the opposi-
ton and that he expects the south to
present IL solid front in Bayards sup
port. The delay in perlecting platform
Is felt to be part OF the scheme, as il
gives time for oIganization.

after much consultation and consi iera-
ton the Arkansas delegation had deter

his charac er, for his integrity, judgment
and iron WILL but they loved him more

spectacle which that gentleman had pre-
sented yesterday. and said heopposition
to Gov. Cleveland came from those whom
he had cut off from the flesh pots. "The
vilest said he, ''may deiile a splendid
statue, but they necessarily disgrace
Themselves. These men who talked
about the rights Of labor were political
tricksters who placed their camp wher-
ever there was "a prospect of profit. But
honest, intelligent, horny handed labor
ing men would be found following the
old Democratic flag The labor of the
political tricksters had been on the
crank of the ma hine (cheers) Their
study had been political chicanery in
the eminent conclave, and the only cure
for them was in a free application OF
rope.
Senator Doolittle, of Wisconsin,
also seconded the nomination of Mr.
Cleveland.
