BAYARD's GROWING STRENGTH.
1t was manifest from the applause
With which the name of Bayard was re
ceived this morning. that at last the op-
position to Cleveland had found strong
leader, who Is skilfully organizing &
stem the tide that has been sweeping
New York toward success. Heretofore
the opposition delegates have been
shrieking wildly and harml Issly. The
threats Of Grady and Cochrans only
| seemed 10 serve TO Increase ths strength
of Cleveland. When Massachusetts ap-
peared on the platform in the person of
Nc. Cummings, TO second the nomina
ton of Bayard, it was evident that Is. r.
| Butler WAS the leader Of the opposition,
and that ha expects the South 10 present

Vance, Lamar and others, of tbe States
Of that section. The delay in perfecting
this Ia felt To- be part of the scheme, as
1t gives time for organization.
ARKANSAS FOR CLEVELAND.
NJ. NJ. Rose, of Arkansas. stated that
after much consaltation and oonsidera-
ton, the Arkansas delegation had deter
mined unanimously to GAS, their votes
for Grover Cleveland, If New York. As
to the objection that Mr.. Cleveland had
enemies at home, their reply Was that
no man could, with fidelity to priciple,
administer the office of Governor of New
York withsut making enemies at home.
IL they found man without enemies,
they would find man who had not that
elevation Of character necessary for the
candidate Of great party.
WISCONSIN SECONDS CLEVELAND.
When the State Of Wisconsin was
called, IL WAS announced that major-
ity had voted to support the nomina-
ton of Gov. Cleveland, aud had assign
cd Gen. Bragg to second the nomiua-
ton. Gen. Bragg declared that the
| young Democrats of Wisconsin, loved
and respected Mr.. Cleveland. not only
for himself. for his character, for his
integrity, judgment, and iron will but
they loved him most for the enemies
that ne had made. Enthusiastic ap
plause.
Grady, OF New York. here rose and
shouted out that the enemies To whom
the gentleman alluded reciprocsted that
sentiment. Very general Kissing
Bragg was thankful to the gentleman
for calling himself to his attention. He
spoke of the disgrac-ful spectacle which
that gentleman had presented yester-
| day, and said the opposition to Grover
Cleveland came from those whom he
had cut of from the flesh pots. The
| viiest, said he, NAV defile a splendid
| statue, but they necessarily disgrace
themselves. The men who talked about
| the rights Of labor were political trick
sters, who placed their camp wherever
there was a prospect of profit but hon

men would be found following the old
Democratic flag. The labor of the 20
litical tricksters had been on the crank
of the machine. Their study had been

clave, and the only cure for them was
in a free application Of rope.
