He considered that Carlisle and
Blaine the first as being man on
whom every God had seemed 10 see
his seal. The other as leprous with
accusation and scared ana tattoosd all
over When the forces of Oliver
Cromwell were lying III arms await
ing the battle, they frequently
engaged in angry diSputatiou
concerning matters of faith,
but when the order to charge came
down the line from old lronSides that
the forces of Prince Rupert were in
front they forgot their differences and
had no thought bat victory until sue
cess crowned the armies of the protecl-
or When the chairman Of the con
vention would shortly give to the
democratic house the command to
charge all along the line they would
be laying aside odd Differences and
discussions and chickering's and strife
and charge the republican party, front
and rear. If they had John G. Car
Isle at the head of the column they
would win such victory as was won
by the Puritan forces of Cromwell at
NaSeby and MarStpn Moor. Cheers.
" hen the state Of Massachusetts

OF much curiosity. Cheers and Kisses
were about equally balanced. but
IT was announced hy Mir Abbott that
Massachusetts had no nomination 10

eloquently seconded by Hooker, of

CLEVELAND.
When In. state Of New Gorll was
called there was a good deal of cheer
ING and waving of hats and handker-
chiefs on the part, principally. of the
spectators in the galleries. At 3:55
Mr. lockwood. of New York, came
up to the platform TO put in uomina-
ton Mr.. Cleveland. lie said that the
responsibility which he felt was made
greater when he remembered that the
richest pages Of American history
had been made up from the records of
democratic administrations, and re-
menbereu that the outrage of 1876
was still unavenged No man had
greater resp ct than himself for the
honored names presented TO the con
yention. but the world was moving
and men who had acted but little in
politics coming to the front. (CheerS)
Three years ago he had the honor in the
city OF Buffalo to present the names
of the same gentlemen for this Office
of mayOr. Without hesitation the
name of Gov. Cleveland had
been accepted as the candidate Cap
pIause, in the galleries and from
portions of the delegates The re-
salt of that election and of the hold
ing of that office was that III less
than nine months the State of New
York, found itself in a position 10
want such a 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 It
meant pure governments that
1t meant democratic government,
and il was satisfied. applause
Now th9 democratic stateof New York
came and asked that that name be
given to the independent and demo
cratic voters Of the country the
young men Of the country the new
blood of the country the name Of
Grover Cleveland. tCheersJ
L e nomination of Mr. Cleveland
was seconded by Harr.soA of Illinois
Six weeks ago, he said, the cry was,
"Tilden and referm," now it was
"Cleveland and reform" Cheers
The democrats of Illinois Believed that
that the mantle of Samuel j. Tilden
had fallen and rested gracefully or
the shoulders Of Grover Cleveland.
He knew there was factional fight
waged against him he knew it
was said that great church
would oppose him on religious
grounds. No. That church never
allowed its ministers voices TO be
heard in the pulpit prerching politics.
Cheers and cries of Never
SO it was said that the Irish would
knife him. "Were the Irish ever
known to knife the democratic party
except for good reas0n?' Here
prominent Irish politician Of Chicago
John Forsyth shouted out from
among the audience an angry denial,
and the words yes and mo- were
several times exchanged between him
and Mr.. Harrison. Finally order
was restored. and Harrison proceeded
with his speech, ending it with the
assurance that the nomination Of
Cleveland would help the democracy
to win next November. The nomina-
ton of Cleveland was also seconded
by Jones of Minnesota.
Thos. +. Grady, Of N. Y, then
came to the platform. The point of
order was raised, that unless Mr.
Grady was going TO second the nomi
nation he was not now in order; but
the chairman overruled the point and
said that as he had recognized Mr.
Grady, that gentleman must be heard.
Grady then proceeded to address
the convention. He said he should
be glad to secure Mr.. Cleveland's
nomination, except that he knew that
that gentleman could not carry the
state of New York. The sure and un
erring test of 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 oppo-
nents.
at this point Bragg, of Wisconsin,
rose to make a point of order, but his
voice was drowned by shouts and
yells from the galleries. After
there was some degree of order, Bragg
stated his point TO be, that the order
of business was the nomination and
seconding of candidates.
The chairman said that similar
point OF order had been made in the
st. Louis Convention and sustained,
but he had been disposed TO be ex-
ceedingly lenient in allowing che
course Of remarks supposing 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 of order.
Mr.. Manning of New York, chair
man of the New York delegation
asked unanimous consent that Mr..
Grady might be allowed to proceed
irrespective Of the point Of order.
The consent was given and Grady
proceeded with his speech. He said
