 affairs that we should name for the grea office man not born for small or selfisl things, man to whom dishonesty is un known, man made up of greatness, ont who breathes the birthright of victory in hil name alone, and such 8 man is J. G. Car lisle-" When
 THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS
 was called the response was awaited with much curiosity. Cheers and misses were about equally balanced but it was announced by Mir. Abbott that Massachusetts had no nomination to make at this time. Mississippi was called. Charles E. Hooker, of Mississip- pi, took the platform and seconded the nom- ination of Mir. Bayard.
 NEW YORK WAS THEN CALLED.
 Daniel N. Lockwood, of Buffalo. was loud- ly cheefed as he took the platform and it was some time before he could gain a hearing. When order was finally restored he said ''It IS with no ordinary feeling of responsibility shat l appear before this convention as rep resentative of the Democracy of the State of New York for the purpose of placing in nomination before this convention 8 gentleman from the State of New York as a candidate for the presidency No man has greater respect than I for the honored names already presented to this body. But the world is moving rapidly. New men who have done but little in politics are coming to the front and to-day there are hundreds of young men in this country (ap- plause) who are to cast their first vote, men independent in politics, and they are looking to this convention. praying silently that there may be no mistake made here. They want to drive the Republican party from power. They want to cast their vote for Dem ocrat in whom they believe (spplause). And those people know from the record of the gentleman whose name shall present to the Democracy that victory with him means hon. est and pure government and the protection of the rights of the people of every class and every station. little more than three years ago had the honor at the city of Buffalo to present the name of this same gentleman for the office of Mayor of that city (applause. It was presented there for the same reason and from the cause that we present it. It was because the government of that city had become corrupt and debauched and political integrity sat not in high places, Without any hesitation we named Grover Cleveland. (Great applause, lasting longer and showing more unanimity than on any previous occasion during the convention, eY- cept when the names of Tilden and Hem dricks had been mentioned). The result of that election, continued MT. Lockwood, and of his holding that office was that in less than nine months the State of New York just such a candidate and for just such 8 purpose, and when at the State convention in 1882 his name was placed in nomination for the office of Governor of the State of New York, the same people, the same class of men knew that that meant hon est governments it meant pure government; it meant Democratic government and it was ratified. (Applause.) And, gentlemen, after eighteen months of service there, the De- mocracy of the State of New York come to you and ask you to go to the country, to go to the Independent and Democratic voters of the country; to go to the young men of the country and present the name of Grover Cleveland as your can- didate for the President of these, the United States. -(Applsuse) I shall indulge in no eulogy of MT. Cleveland I shall not at tempt any further description of his political career. It is known. His Democracy, his statesmanship are known throughout the land. All I ask is that no passion or preju. dice shall influence the duty you owe the people of the country. Be not deceived. Cleveland can give the party the vote of New York. He can do it by reason of his upright character and pure administration and his undaunted courage to do right under all circumstances. His candi- dacy we ask on the ground of his honor. bis integrity, his wisdom and his de- mocracy, and in the belief that his nomina- ton will be ratified by his election as Dem ocratic President of the Union" The en-
 
 Lockwood's speech had scarcely subsided when
 SENATOR GRADY WAS UPON HIS FEET
 The chair, however, recognized R. A. Jones, of minnesota, who seconded Cleve- lands nomination. Then occurred one of the most exciting scenes of the day. Grady again rose to his feet and proceeded down the aisle, meanwhile calling vociferously for Half of the galleries hooted, I,o1e okrn S%k kt,a oat,1 kEn delegates were similarly divided in their de- menstrations. Grady with folded arms look ed down smilingly upon the tumult. From the bead of the New York delegation Daniel Manning mounted B chair and yelled through the din apoint that if Grady arose for any other purpose than that of making or SUD- porting 8 nomination be was out of order. The chair was in doubt for 8 but finally concluded that as he had given Grady the floor it was not within his province to dictate what he should say. Again the crowd howled. Grady proceeded, put before his eloquenee had got start MT. Bragg of Wisconsin, who has in two days earned the sobriquet of the Little Great 0bjector," arose to another point of order.
 HE WAS HowLED INTO SILENCE
 and then Senator Grady proceeded. Before ae had gone far his admirable delivery and pleasing bearing secured him the attention of
 
 he close of his address he was repeatedly and warmly applauded. In he course of his remarks he said:
 'I should be glad to support Mir. Cleveland except that I know, and believe I can show you that he cannot carry the State of New and is the choice of New York her d. a-,o,;n,, would not be go widely divi~. .d hetTeeT b;s sa;s s,enas sua HIS ronents" (applause). He kLak kIo Tria A1o jatholics as such were against Cleveland (ap- olause). "The anti-monopolist element and abor interests, Catholic and Protestant and ,f all nationalties were opposed to him and would obstruct his election with good reason" The wosfd was moving too fast (referring to m expression of Mir Lockwood) if the party could afford to pass by men with records like hose of Thurman, Bayard, Randall and it's veterans to take up an obscure man from, Erie county with no record to compare with heirs. Mir. Grady then spoke of the five cent pill as taking the pennies out of the pocket >f the poor man to put them into the treas- lry of vast corporation. He entered into he details of the Governors action on the ailroad commission bill:and spoke at length n this strain.
 THE AUDIENCE BECAME VERY IMPATIENT md frequent shouts of ''Sit down !" "Finish t tonight! !" etc, were heard. When the
  would pause ard fold his arms composedly, while Chairman Villas firmly informed the convention and galleries that the gentleman rom New York would be protected in his fight to speak until he had finished. Many vrangIes occurred over motions to diou-n or to take recess. The rator was several times obliged o pause while three cheers or Cleveland were given in response to 8 all from some person in the audience. His 'atience remained unruff1ed, however, and fter each interruption he resumed his calm y expressed analysis of CIeveland's standing. Ie concluded by saying that while bis fellow thinkers would take the gamblers chance of winning even with Cleveland, they asked for man, and there were several men such as le had named, on whom the party could mite and who could carry New fork undoubtedly. MT. Grady received D lause as he stepped down from the plat orm There was more disorder after Grady lad resumed his seat. Judge Cochrane of lew York, claimed hearing and was met with storm of ''nos'' and chorus of mo- ions to adjourn. In nowise intimidated, owever, the chair gave him the floor. He aid: "I am here to second acandidate whose ame ought to be received with pleasure in Democratic conv sntion, and of whose abil- ty to carry the critical State of New York no Ho hu &ho iku
