Here prominent Irish politician
of Chicago shouted out from among
the audience an angry denial, and
the words, "Yes or no." were fev-
eIal times exchanged between him
and Mr.. Harrison. Finally order

with his speech. There was as3ur-
ance that the nomination of Cleve-
land would help the Democrats to

The nomination of Cleveland was

Thomas N. Grady, of New York,
then came to the platform.
The point of order was raised that

Grady then proceeded to address
the convention. He said he should
be glad to second Mr.. Cleveland's
nomination, except that he knew
that that gentleman could not carry
