St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1884-07-12

Of the excitement. After the convention ad-
journed it was almost impossible to navigate on
State street, and the crowd in the hotel exceeded
anything ever witnessed even at this city, SO IA
nous for its notable gatherings ana big pow
vows.
The only sick looking thing about the hotel
were the parlors occupied by John Kelly and the
Tammany sachems 1t was bitter pill for the
great boss and his henchmen, and they made no
attempt to disguise it,
''This is an unfortunate piece business said
Tammany sachem to the GLOBE correspondent;
''come here to represent the Democracy of New
York state, and while we didn't 60 away with fly
ing colors you bet they hear from us at
home. Our people know that we came here to
represent the best interests of the party and they
sat down on us; now that they have nominated
their men let them elect him.
DISGUISED sAcHEM
The great mogul, John Kelly, was seen by the
GLOBE reporter. He sat IN his private room sur
rounded by Spinoka ane number of other sym
pathizers.
. 81 have nothing to say to the papers, he re-
piled to an enquiry. ''We will wait till we reach
home before taking any action
Just then the usher announced that several
ladies desired admittance, They were admitted
and for nearly an hour the distinguished leader
held levee, many of the callers being of the
fair sex, the most of whom requested his auto
graph. He received them in a most polished
manner and while his face indicates the bull dog
tenacity and frmness of character for which he
is celebrated, he proved to those present that he
was equally at home when essaying the role of
gallant
But it was blue crowd for all that, and at
times the air was sulphurious. the young men of
the order not being able to conceal their chagrin,
and vows of vengeance were made freely.
While Boss Kelly was holding his levee the
throng down stairs increasing. Many very
ludicrous sights were to be seen. One stalwart
fellow, an Irving Hall man, and perfect Adons
in figure, had procured a tin horn and he was
whooping it up for all he was worth. Around
him had gathered crowd of admirers, and
when the horn gave out for lack of wind it was
passed to fresh man, and when his lung power
was exhausted it was turned over to another.
Apropos of the Tammany defeat, it is said on
good authority that right after the nomination of
Cleveland, Mr.. w. c. Whitney, corporation
counsel of New York city, and son-in-law Of H.
B. Payne, of Ohio, was deputed to call on John
Kelly and offer him the opportunity of naming
the man for the second place, by way of concia-
ton. His mission was unsuccessful Mr.
Kelly said that he would have nothing to do with
the office whatever.
AS may be imagined, it was fie ID day for the
fakirs OF badges and cheap chromos of Cleveland
while that emblem Of political success, the terri
full rooster, was on deck in great shape, The
badges were like picnic lemonade, any coloryou
like and they sold as low nickle. The roosters
went off like hot cakes, but it was chilly day
for the chromos and they didn't sell well.
At o clock the Tammany braves and sachems
folded their tepees, colared their grip sacks and
headed by brass band they put on an air il
gaiety and started for the depot. The obese
and pugnacious Grady showed his colossal nerve
by wearing full blown ba-n yard rooster on his
white plug hat, and he was the subject of great
derision. Just as they left the hotel one of the
braves got into dispute and his eye was draped
a beautiful blue by policeman. This was sad
but it made sport for the crowd and they enjoyed
it hugely.
Far different was the appearance of the Ameri
Gus club, of Philadelphia. They also left at :
o'clock, a brilliant red rooster surmounting the
plug hat of each member. Their band discoursed
splendid music, their banners waved proudly il
appearance of any body of men in attendance al
the convention
Tonight the members of Irving hall held
street parade; each man was armed with q new
broom, and it was the loudest blow out of the
celebration.
At s O'Clock tonight State street in the vicinity
of the Palmer house was impossible. Even the
grip cars stopped running for awhile, the rush
being terrific.
Thr nominations were celebrated at the Palmer
house by magnificent display of fireworks, which
were set off from the Monroe street balcony of
the hotel Electric lights at all the windows
added 20 the briliancy of the display the streets
being clothed in more than MONDAY splendor II
an edifying spectacle and one not soon TO be
forgotten.
Every time Ben. Bntler looms up his appear
ance is hailed by the crowd with shouts of ap-
lause. As the Americas club was departing
from the hotel ''old Strabismus' came to one
of the windows and glanced down at the
surging crowd that filled the street
He was espied by some one and the
cry went up, 'Hurrah for old Ben'' lusty
cheer was given, when the modest statesman
from New England beat u hasty retreat Such,
gentle reader, is fame.
The county Democracy will leave with victory
perched on their standard tomorrow, Satur-
day.
Gen. r. W. johnson, Of st. Paul, arrived from
New York this morning He is delighted with
the nominations, and he states that prominent
New Yorker assured him that if Cleveland was
nominated he would carry the country by 300, 900
majority, H.G.D.
