nor in TIE methods by which was brought
abou'., is there the slightest claim upon the
great body of Democratic voters for its sup
port The great majority of the delegates
TO the Convention who named Cleveland
as their first choice represented Repub-
lican constituencies. A number of
delegates who openly and earnestly
opposed his nomination were recorded, i'll
spite of all their protests, as favorable TO
his candidacy. Every influence that could
be employed or engineered by the monopo-
lists who have secured control of the party
management was eXerted to make him
candidate, and as you well know, delegates
who left their homes loud in their protes-
sions hostile TO his candidacy, as inviting
certain defeat to the party, gave evidence,
soon after their arrival at Chicago, OF
change of heart, which only the most simple
and charitable have aScribed TO pure and
worthy motives. The expressed design of
the men who urged his nomination was to
conciiate the diSgruntled Republicans, not
to please the Democrats Preserving to

cocHRAHE WHEELS INTO LINE.
W. Bourke Cochrane who it was eX-
pccted, would also pronounce against
Cleveland, followed Grady. He said: There
is duty which every Democrat has to per
form in the present crisis. He must sub
ordinate his action to the interests OF his
party No person cGntcnded more Figor-
ouslv than did against the nomination Of
Governor Cleveland. No one opposed more
earnestly the folly of passing over in 81
lence and indifference the heroes of the
party in order To nominate man who
was forced upon the attention of the
party merely by the press and few
refractory Republicans, who had never
failed to express their adherence OF
our principles and their contempt for our
selves. Had such a man as we wanted
been nominated we would have given him
a majority such rs we are asked to give
| Grover Cleveland. ! hear a cry Of distress
throughout the country, and that cry calls
me to arms for the Democratic ticket.
| Cheers Tammany Hall was not an or
ganization to be governed by feeling toward
or from men. 1t was a body Of principles.
Beyond revenge lies patriotism; beyond
| dissatisfaction lies loyalty. Under these
| two master impulses you will win. Tam
many Hall is the Old Guard of the Demo-
| cratic party, and there we will stay. Long
| and continued cheers, during which Coch-
| rane seconded the resolution, and then
| there were frantC cries Tor Jo!ln helIE.
That gentleman shook his head and spoke
not.
THE RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
The Chairman ordered the Secretary to
| call the roll on the adoption of the resolu-
| ton. As he read the names only small
| portion Of the members answered. When
the name of ex-Assemblyman Roesch was
| called he arose and protested against the
proceedings. He was peremptorily called
| to order.
The result of the vote was $40 ayes and
s. nays.
A committee was then appointed to
make arrangements for grand ratification
meeting, and after q call for primary cleo
tons was read. the meeting adjourned.
