and as the flush of his face went down and he
paused to wipe the persperation from his
brow the fat delegate cooled off also, and in
fifteen minutes he resumed his coat and In
diana was tranquil -
/ THURMAN
John w. Breckenridge, California's
spokesman, had now arrived and roll call
was turned backward to give the young man
a chance. His speech was not up to the
Breckenridge standard, though he is son of
the late John c., but his candidate
double discounted Bayard and Mcdonald
in producing applause. About one-half Of
the Ohio delegation joined in the plaudits.
Durbin Ward, of Ohio, whom I remember as
good speaker thirty or forty years ago, when
l was some younger than I am now, second
the Thurman boom. He has long
grey hair which grows down
to the middle of his forehead, a snow white
moustache and is round shouldered The
most striking passage of his speech was his
entirely original allusion to Thurman as the
e'noblest Roman of them all.'' 1t just occurs
to me that there must have been good many
originally, or the stock would not have held
out so well. have not got the census of
Rome at hand just now or I might give you
some statistics on this point. 1t is evident
| that the managers Of the Thurman boom or
| OF such boom as swept Garfield in, but to
make the parallel complete they should not
have formally nominated him, but have re-
lied on the convention applause and his
pulling red bandauna out of his pocket in
the midst of a row in New York to do the
business.
CARLISLE.
When Kentucky was reached James A.
Mckenzie responded. He opened tanner,
reading the first part of his speech, but he
warmed up as he proceeded. He also
warmed Kentucky delegate, as Hen
bricks did in Indiana. The
Kentucky delegate lighted
cigar and puffed away like steamboat, the
smoke crcling up to the roof until a ser
geant alarms turned on the hose and extin-
guished him. When the speaker alluded to
the geographical location of his candidate.
1t may be urged, gentleman, that he comes
from the wrong side of the river, but, my
God, if the statute Of limitations ever is to
run against that plea it ought to begin now,
In speaking Mr.. Mckenzie turned his back
to the delegates and talked chiefly
to Col. Villas until the dele
gates called him to face about
AS he turne he said, 'I am not afraid to
face,' but almost Immediately after he faced
about to Villas again amid the laughter of the
auditors. am sure Col. Villas knows that
Mr.. Carlisle was placed in nomination. His
speech was on the whole an excellent one
and finely delivered.
BAYARD AGAIN.
Gen. Hooker, of Mississippi, in seconding
Bayard, gade Cleveland blackeye by saying
that they were originally for the old ticket
from his state, out failing in that
they ought to go outside of the
Empire state, New York could unite on
New York. When New York was called
there was great applause. The opening
speech for Cleveland by Daniel L. Lockwood,
of Buffalo, was about as much devoted to the
speakers statement of his personal relations
with Cleveland as it was to his subject
The applause when he mentioned
Cleve nd's name was the biggest of the
day a, still very tame with that accorded
either TO Blaine or Arthur. In fact this is
not yelling convention, but the delegates
are an orderly set of gentlemen. Still
rather enjoy little more enthusiasm
As Lockwood concluded Grady was up again
and his finger was high in the air but the chair
recognized Chicago's ''best mayor who pro-

of his most ill-timed and absurd efforts He
brought in the Catholic church and the Irish and
pledged both of them to support Gov Cleveland
When he said ''Did yon ever know the Irish to
knife the Democratic party there were cries of
''Yes, ''Yes,n from fellow in the rear OF the
platform and cries of ''No,'' sNo,' and s.Put
him out, from other quarters. Grady was at
the front again as soon as the
"best mayor had botched his job, but the
chair recognized ''the gentleman from Mime
sofa, and Hon. r. A. Jones, of Rochester
made a short butneat and well-deliyered second
ing speech for Cleveland This time Grady
was recognized, and he came to the platform os-
tensibly to second Bayard's nomination but
really to make an argument against Cleveland
Gen. Bragg, of Wisconsin, made the point of
order that he not making nomination, and
the chair sustained it, but Mr.. Manning chair
man of the New York delegation asked that he
be heard and heard he was, though
frequently interrupted by yells and confusion 1t
was decidedly bosterous scene until Mr. Man
ming nterfered in his behalf, and but for that he
would have been ruled off the platform as well
as howled down by the galleries. He was
cheered and hissed at the close.
That Tammany was waiting outside the hall
was evident from the fact that only one hi-yi-yi
yell was heard while Grady excitement was on
AT the conclusion of Grady's speech there were
renewed efforts to adjourn, take a recess. etc
any of which would have been carried by call
Of the roll, but being put viva voclthe galleries
voted them out. Mr.. Cochran, of New York
earnestly favored adjourning, but failing he took
the platform and seconded Thurman in
decidedly the best speech of the
entire convention, and one which had
telling effect against Cleveland. 1 cannot
do any description of his speech, justice in
the time that remains, and will not attempt
it, but if Mr.. Thurman should be the nomi
nee, it will be due to Cochran's speech E.
X. Apgar followed in short and weak effect
for Cleveland, and at last motion to ad-
journ till 10 80 tomorrow, and voted on by
roll call, and the hungry and tired conven-
ton after II hours continued session, filed
out. About town tonight, after the events
of to-day and the evident weakening of the
Cleveland ranks makes much excitement.
Tonight and there is very general feeling that
Thurman is st least equal if not superior in his
chances TO Cleveland. The Thurman crowdsrith
brass bands and red bandanas have been whooping
it up tonight in big style. The Cleveland men are
alarmed and well they may be. 1t is doubtful
whether nomination will be made tomorrow
The roll call for nomination is yet to be COM
pleted well as the platform. Delays are dan
gerous for Cleveland and If not nominated to-
morrow doubt il he ever will be- H. III
