When the State Of New York was called
there was q good deal Of cheering and wav'
ing of hats and handkerchiefs in the gal
leries.
At 1855 Mr.. Lockwood of New York
came up TO the platform and put in nomi-
nation Grover Cleveland. The nomina-
ton OF Cleveland was ably seconded BY
Jones OF Minnesota. Thomas N. Grady
of New York then came TO the platform.
A 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 he had recognized Mr.. Grady, md
that the gentleman must be heard. Grady
then proceeded to address the convention.
He said be should be glad to second MT.
Cleveland's nomination, except maj ne
knew that that gentleman could net carry
the State Of New York. The sure and I'M
erring test OF that fact was that the last
Democratic Convention of New York was
equally divided against him, and the dele
gates at large were divided between his
friends and opponents. At this point
Bragg Of Wisconsin rose TO make . 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 nomi-
nation and seconding the candidates.
The Chairman said that q similar point OF
order had been made. He was disposed to
be exceedingly lenient in allowing the
course of remarks. %supposing thai Grady
would come to the point OF making a
nomination, but unless he wal about to DO
SO the Chair would be Obliged to sustain
the point of order. Mr.. Manning OF New
York, Chairman Of the New York delega-
ton, asked unanimous consent that Grady
might be allowed to proceed irrespective OF
the point of order. Unanimous consent
given. Grady proceeded with his speech.
He said that the object OF the convention
was to make Q nomination for the Presi-
dency that would be ratified by the people
at the polls. He did not claim that the
Irish or Catholics would fire against Mr..
Cleveland, but the anti-monopolist ele-
ments Of the State, and the laboring
interests Of the State, Catholic and Protest
ant, Irish, German and American, are OPP
posed to his nomination, and would be
opposed to his election. Mr.. Cleveland
had been elected in 1882 by a majority OF
1872, 900, but at the last election the State
showed q Republican majority OF 1887,
making q change OF oil 900 in the Demo.
cratic vote. Here q great deal OF imps-
thence was manifested by the spectators.
Cries of "Sit down" came from
the galleries. A threat was made
that the galleries would be cleared
| and 80 Grady was allowed to go on with
Dis speech, but not without continued in
terruptions from the galleries, such as,
/" He was told to make that speech fol
Blaine" but the Chairman announced
with an air Of determination that the gen
tleman should have Q full and fair oppor'
| tunity to say every word he vas inclined
to say. Grady went on to discuss the veto
of the Elevated Railroad bill, and to show
how the veto was injurious to the working
| classes. He declared that the State o
New York could not be carried by Cleve
land, not because Of any Irish question OF
any Catholic question, but because OF thil
anti-monoply question, in which the peo
| pie had a deep-rooted feeling, and that M
man could be worse to them in that regard
than Mr.. Cleveland. He knew OF but ont
| occasion in which Governor Cleveland wa
called upon to show his hand, whether
he vas q Democrat or something
else, and Mr.. Cleveland proved a
that time to be something else. HI
denied that the fight against Cleveland
was the same fight as had been made eigh
years ago against Tilden. A motion for
recess was then made and negatived, ant
Grady proceeded with his speech.
When the State Of Delaware was callet
there was an immediate outbreak o
cheers. After the uproar had subsided
George Gray Of Delaware came to tn
platform and addressed the convention
He presented the name Of Thomas F
Bayard. The nomination Of Mr.. Bsyart
was seconded by Hooker Of Mississippi
When the State Of Indiana was called
Mr.. Hendricks of that State came TO the
platform amid applause, and placed
Joseph E. Mcdonald in nomination
| Gen. Black of Illinois seconded the nomi.
nation OF Mcdonald.
When the State Of Massachusetts, wa
called their actions were watched with
much curiosity. The cheers and hissei
were about equally balanced, but II was
announced by Mr.. Abbott that Massa
chusetts had no nomination to make a
this time.
