ALLAN @. THURMAN NOMINATED.
When Ohio was reached Mr.. John w.
Breckinridge. OF California introduced by
the Chairman rs the son of the last Demo-
cratic ice-President, who was not I'M
Justly deprived Of his ofieel, can,e TO the
platform. He said the delegates from Cali.
fornia had been instructed 10 present FOR
the consideration OF the Convention man
who needed no eulogy, whose name was
in the hearts OF the whole American
people; q man WHO, IL nominated. would
be the next President Of the United States.
That man v9s Allan G. Thurman, OF Ohlb.
(Cheers.] For more than twenty years
Mr.. Thurman had been the boIdest and
ablcst advocate Of Democratic doctrines
and Democratic principles. The only OBJ
lection urged against him was that Ohio
was an October State. The renIy 10 that
was that this was not state convention.
but rational nomination.
Mr.. Thurman was endorsed by General
Durbin Ward, Of Ohio. He declared that
Ohio would be the battle-g ground OF the
presidential election. The Democracy
could not win without 1t. but II the De-
mocracy carried Ohio in October Tn. battle
would be already won. They wanted
Ajax, with helmet and spear, to thunder
along the line and deal dcath-giyin0 blows
10 the foe. Allen q. Thurman was that
Ajax in intellect. In courage, in adherence
10 constitutional law, in the defence OF the
rights OF the masses in defiance OF the
power OF mOnopolies, in defiance OF the
eorruptiOns Of the age. Mr. Thurman
had no peer except Tilden. TAp-
plause.l The Democracy had carried
the State OF Ohio IN the last two annual
elections, and with Thurman as the presl-
dental candidate it would carry il again
next October. lie was no calow politi-
Gran, but was colossal figure IN the DEM
ocratic party. [Applause.l
IL was observable that part OF the Ohio
delegation refused to participate in the
applause that greeted the name OF Thur.
man.
SPEAKER CARLISLE PLACED IN NOMINATION.
Mr.. James a. Mckenzie, Of Kentucky,
next came TO the platform, and in the maine
Of the State which he said would give
10000 majority to the Democratic nomi-
nee, nominated the present dstin-
g1ished Speaker OF the American
House Of Commons, John q. Car
Isle. In all the essential characteristics OF
nanlness, courage, ability, and patriotism,
Carlisle's was the peer OF any great name
that had been or would be mentioned in
connection with that office. No name
carried with 1t more OF taliSmanic charm
or more OF the respect OF the American
people than his. He was man not born
for small or selfish things he was man
TO whom dishonOr was unknown, he WAS
one made up Of greatness; one who had
a victorious birthright in his name alone.
1t might be urged that he came from
the wrong side Of the Ohio river;
but IL the statute OF limitation was
ever 10 run, then that plea ought
10 begin now. [Cheers,l He cOntrasted
Carlisle and Blaine, the first as being man
on whom even Goa had seemed to set His
seal, the other as leprous with accusation
and covered aud tattOOed all over. ZAP
plause.l When the forces Of Oliver Crom-
well were lying on their arms awaiting bat
tie they frequently engaged in angry dispu.
tstiOn concerning matters OF faith, hut
when the order TO charge came down the
line from Old IrOnsides, and the forces OF
Prince Rupert were in front, they forgot
their differences and had no thought Dut
victory until success crowned the
arms OF the protector. So when
the chairman Of the Convention would
shortly give to the Democratic hosts the
command to charge all along the line,
they would, laying aside all differences
and disSensiOnS, and chickering's, and strife,
charge the Republican party, front and
rear. II they had John G.. Carlisle at the
head Of the column they would win such
victory rs was won by the Puritan forces
d Cromwell at Nasty and MarstOn Moor.

MASSACHUSETTS HAS NO CANDIDATE.
when the State OF Massachusetts, was
called the response was awaited with much
curiosity. Cheers and Kisses were about
'qually balanced. but it was announced by |
ar. Albeit that Massachusetts, had no !
10 make at this time.
The nomination OF Blyard was eloquent |
Y seconded by Mr.. Hooker. OF Mississippi. |
When the State OF New York was called |
here was a good deal Of cheering and |
waving Of hats and handkerchiciS on the :
Jsrt, principally, OF the spectators in the
galleries.
NEW YORK's GOVERNOR NOMINATED.
At $3.50 o'clocl, Mr.. Lockwood. OF New
FORK. came up TO the platform to put in
domination Cleveland. He said that the
which he felt was made
,reater when he remembered that the
iche>t pages Of American history had
cen made up from the records Of Demo-
ratio administration. and remembered
hit the outrage OF 1876 was still nm
No man had a greater re-
poet than he for the honorcd names
resented to the Convention, but the world
gas moving. and new men who had par
icipatcd but little in politics were coming
o the front. [Chcers.l Three years ago
r. had the honor, IN the city OF Buffalo, 10
resent the name Of the same gentleman for
he Office Of mayor, and without hcsita-
ion the name OF Grover Cleveland had
cen accepted a. the candidate. APP
,lause in the galleries aud from pOr-
ion, Of decgations.l The result OF that
lection, Of the holding Of that Office,
VS. that in less than nine months the State
I New York found itself in the position
o want such a candidate. and when in the
convention OF 1882 his name was presented
or the Office OF Governor OF the
tate Of New York, the same Glass
Z people knew that that meant hon
st government: that it meant pure
that it meant Demo
ratio government, and il was ratified.
Applause.l Now the Democratic State OF
lew York came and asked that there be
iven to the Independent and Democratic |
oters OF the country, the young men OF
be country, the new blood OF the country,
be name OF Grover Cleveland. [Cheers.l
The nomination OF Cleveland was Sec
nded by Mr.. Harrison, OF Illinois. Six
leeks ago, he said, the cry was "Tllden
nd Reform" now IL was "Cleveland and
,eiorm." tCheers.l The Democrats OF
Illinois believed that the mantle OF Samuel
. Tilden had fallen and rested gracefully |
pon the shoulders OF Grover Cleveland.
Ie knew that there was a faction tight |
iaged against him; he knew it was said
hat the great Church would oppose him

ever allowed its ministers voices to be

q II was said that the Irish would knife

easOny
Here a prominent Irish politician OF |
Licago, John Forsythe, shouted out from
mOng the audience an angry denial, and |
