Ironsides, that the forces of Prince
Rupert were in front, they forgot their
differences and had no thought but
victory, until success crowned the
arms of the protector. SO when the
chairman of the convention would

the command to charge all along the
line, they would lay aside all differences

BUTLER NOT MENTIONED.
When the state of Massachusetts,
was called, the response was awaited
~wxfkh W (hnnrC and
Kisses were about equally balanced;
but it was announced by Mr.. Abbott
that Massacb usetts had no nomina-
ten to make at this time.
The nomination of Mr.. Bayard was
seconded by Hooker of Mississippi.
NEW YORK CALLED.
When the state of New York was
called there was good deal of cheer
ing and waving of hats and canes
principally on the part OF spectators,
but at 1856 Mr.. Lockwood, of New
York, came upon the platform to put
in nomination Cleveland. lie said
that the responsibility which he felt
was made greater when he remem-
bered the richest pages OF American
history had been made up from the
records of the democratic party, and
IllO OuOl vi AOsO 49,
still unayenged. No man had a
greater respect than he for the hon.
Ored names presented to the conven-
ton, but the world was moving, and
new men, who had been but little in
politics, were now coming to the
front. (Cheers) 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 oppo-
sition. Governor Cleveland had been
accepted as the candidate. The result
of the election, and of the holding of
that office was that, in less than nine
months the party found itself in po-
:, sition to want such candidate. and
when, in the convention 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; that
1t meant pure government; that 1T
meant democratic government; and
that it was ratified. Applause. Now
the democratic state of New York
come and asked that that name be
given to the independent and demo-
cratic vote of the country; the new
blood of the country-the name of
Gov. Cleveland. Cheers.
The nomination of Mr.. Cleveland
was seconded by Harrison, of Illinois.
Six weeks ago, he said, the cry was
"Tilden and REFORM" now it
was cleveland and reform"
TCheers. The democrats of
Illinois believe that the mantle of s.
j. Tilden had fallen and rested grace
fully on the shoulders of Gov. Cleve-
land. He knew there was faction
fight waged against him. He knew it
was said that great church would
oppose him on religious grounds; that
church never allowed its ministers
voices to be lifted in the pulpit
preaching politics (cheers) 1t was
said the Irish would knife him.
Were the Irish ever known to knife
the democratic party, except for good
reason? (here prominent Irish poll
tician of Chicago, John Forsyth,
shouted out from among the audience,
in angry denial, and the words Eyes
and mo" were several times ex-
changed between him and Mr.. Har-
rison.) Finally order was restored
and Mr.. Harrison proceeded with his
speech, and ended it with the assur-
ance that the nomination of Mr..
Cleveland would help the democrats
to win Illinois next November.
The nomination of Mr.. Cleveland
was also seconded by Mr.. Jones, of
Minnesota.
Mr.. Thos. S. Grady, of New York,
then came to the PLATFORM. The
point Of order was raised that
unless Mr.. Grady was going to
second the nomination he was
not in order; but the chairman
overrulsd the point, and said he
recognized Mr.. Grady; that gentle
man must be heard. Grady proceed
ed to address the convention. He
said he should be glad to second Mr..
Cleveland's nomination, except that
he knew that gentleman could not
carry New York. The sure and I'M
erring test on that fact was that the
last democratic convention of New
York was equally divided against
him, and the delegates at large were
divided between his friends and OPP
ponents.
At this point Mr.. Bragg, of Wis
consin, rose to make point of order,
but his voice was drowned by shouts
and yells from the galleries. After
there was some degree of order, Mr..
Bragg stated his point to be that the
order of bushes was the nomination
of and seconding of candidates.
The chairman said similar point
of order had been made in the st.
Louis convention, and sustained, but
he had been disposed to be exceed
ingly lenient in allowing the course
OF the remarks. supposiug that Mr..
Grady would come to the point of
making a nomination, but unless he
was about to do so the chair would
be obliged to sustain the point.
GRADY HAS THE FLOOR.
Mr.. Manning, chairman of the New
York delegation, asked unanimous
consent that Mr.. Grady might be
allowed to proceed irrespective of the
